Fishing again this time in Mathern Chepstow might have a couple tonight

not sure if this counts as it would have been two art departments in two different pressing plants, but... The Ivories - Please Stay / The Ivorys - Please Stay

Marcia Hines "You Gotta Let Go" has gone up, last I saw one for was £250... or there about... Maybe of interest to you lot, but a Clara Ward - The Right Direction on Aussie Red Verve was sold on Discogs recently, at set price £250, I've see loads of Marcia Hines over the years, thats the second Aussie Clara Ward I've seen for sale in 20 years of collecting Aussie releases. Overall though, I think prices are holding, what do folks think? those numbers although make me shudder to 3/4 years ago, for 2022 I dont see these particular 45 are rising as fast as they have, think money is hitting folks buying habbits, I think we will see a flatlining of prices in the next year or so, excepting the mega rare items of course, they will just keep going up, up and away 🙂

Hi folks, I have a very nice Brazilian copy of Al Wilson's 'The Snake' see below scan, mint 45, in its original sleeve, a very nice example. I want to swap that for an Aussie Liberty release of The Snake, see below scan, anybody got an Aussie one they would like to swap? Best Malcolm

Fabulous Lp of music, and I love that cover art.. very cool

I know for a fact Arthur Fenn used to have a copy, maybe try him...

agree, instant classsic 🙂 well done Alex & Co, another 'Dirty Deal'!

If anybody is interested, I got one.. rare 45 this, rarely even seen a copy let alone own one... anyhow here it is... If you are wondering why I do alot of typos, well you guessed it, I'm dyslexic...which means I have to work ten time harder than you lot to write stuff down... 😕

ok, I now see 38 version drop down, it seems Discogs is a better font of knowledge than me... still pretty rare on Australian, Ive not seen on in the 20 years Ive been collecting aussie releases...

Just got a copy of this on Australian MGM, which is very nice... Having looked at Discogs, a very worthy forum but not the font of all knowledge on soul music, this is showing the US and Turkey (Sahibinin Sesi label) as the only other territory this got a release on its first release, 1968. That can’t be right surely? >>HERE<< Mal

Hi Folks, does anybody have nice Aussie copies of any of the following at all? must be in EX plus condition and no tears or nasty stuff on the label, if they are ex Radio Station, thats fine, always happy to get orig copies with notes and stamps... The Soul-Jers - Crazy Little Things / WG-2605 Joe Hinton - You Know it Ain't Right / WG-1630 O.V. Wright - Love the Way You Love / CBS BA-221765 GLADYS KNIGHT and the Pips - Every Beat of my Heart / EMBER 8315 Mickey Stevenson - I need You / Im on my way back to you / EMBER 8337 Aside of the above, if you have any good soul titles on Aussie labels, and good quality sleeves, Im always interested. best Malcolm

I’ve got a few like that, it’s a proper record label so I guess they would have put promo / DJ on the label. I’ve never seen a proper demo of this track… great record.

is it the same normal Red/Black/White type label on the 'pg' side? I dont know btw, just interested to see a scan of it...

thats a point on the Tears, Ive loved that track for as long as I can remember, but its never dawned on me as to who they were. Here in the UK The Tears was one Mick Smith always championed, certinally in the early 9ts. Sure it was known before then, but Mick is the guy I got my copy from.

saw a couple on evilbay today if you cant get anthing off here...

wow, thats a spot isn't it... what a wonderful beach, although it looks like it might be a tad 'tart' under your bum...

Really sad news. Sean knew so many people, I can’t speak as one that knew him really really well, but in the 9ts I knew him up the 100 club, he was frightening and lovely in equal measure. I used to rep a photo agency and we cleared that immortal shot of him doing splits on the dance floor for wall art in tower records, so I approached him one night at the 100 club to get a model release, he was pissed, I was totally gone, but the promise of 1000 pounds was too much to not say no to, and he visited our offices in the week, signed the form and we wrote him a cheque, on the way out he said I thought you were full of shit! But obviously not. lol I will say thought he never bought me a drink for the easiest grand he ever earned! But he deserved it, he was a face, in the proper way. Rest in peace Sean

Kickin back at Acorn fisheries in North Somerset, gonna be warm tonight :/)

Sold my copy some years agao, the size was great, but I just don't have a coffee table in my front room big enough for it, some one should re-publish it in a regular size. Great idea 🙂

Hi folks, Nice record here. The Other Brothers have been spoken about a bit this year I notice, their Modern relese 'It's Been A Long Time Baby' has had a bit of interest again. This is another of theirs on Amy from 1968, its a great 45... scan is of my copy for sale, clip is just nipped off You tube. The Other Brothers - Little Girl / Amy Demo EX++ £25 **NOW SOLD** Payment: Prefer Bank transfer, but can Pay Pal (F&F) if thats your only option. Post: £4.50 1st Class signed for within the UK. Outside just state where

Took a walk up what’s known locally as the 'The Scenic Drive' , quite a view looking back into the valley. Look behind you from this point and you can see the whole of the Seven Estuary, Seven Bridge and way off Avonmouth and Weston Super-Mare.

Brilliant Photographer, and a lovely lovely guy. Remember some girls who went to Shoom saying they could see Danny Rampling's Aura as he dj'd.. lol

this is true...

Hi folks, just got a copy of this from Rod S on here, hope you approve of the 'S' Rod... Anyhow its an inst, and Ronnie's in the writing credits so fair to say this was his song originally, but given the plethera of other versions, especially in the early house years, Side Effect did it, Incognito (Jocelyn Brown), and I think also Stevie wonder did a version. It was a massive play everywhere wasnt it, who put the lyrics to this song, Side effect? Mal
