Wow, pretty one sided vote, I went with Precisions obviously but Gloria’s version I thought just illustrates what a great song it is, that and we love Dale Warren !!! Took me a while to get Gloria’s 45 it’s s hard one, but it will turn up if you know what I mean. remember speaking to Bobo (Bob Abrahamian) about it on here, he was genuinely surprised it was considered rare...

Loved the Ann Bridgeforth 'Little Ann' page, I'd never seen a scan of the original acetate, I'm guessing that's the first time that had been seen other than via Richards Record box, its a fabulous book... 🙂

Thank you all, let’s up these likes, give steve a run for his money lol 🙂 Be honest Steve, I take that / these pictures all the time, it’s a staple collins composure:-) you will see it from me many times, just framed differently . Be honest I could not take the pictures you do, I don’t see things as you do, if you know what I mean, have a more editorial eye I guess, and I like silhouettes. Below is the same picture taken in Vancouver, just different framing:/)

Been in Cornwall this week, lots to see and do:-) Padstow harbour, strange shops in Bude, Fat Willy’s Surf Shop in St Ives. Saint Michael’s mount...

pretty good for the Jackie Beavers on Jaber, even if it was a tad nailed...thats the flute version right?

Yvonne Daniels - I gotta get close to you / Red Light Records loved this 45 for years, never had a copy not that it’s rare in the least, bit it is an absolute winner!!!

When I called Tim told me 1000 hard back, which are now sold, then there will be a further run in softback. Im away with no idea if mines come through, very much looking forward to it though.. 🙂

Rest in peace Grant Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

you might have the wrong scan on Louis Curry there Gis..

Para La referencia 🙂

Bloody good this lot, that's another lp sold 🙂

Good mate, hope you are well:-) got the dark green one, which I think is the demo, I've got a scan of a multi coloured one which I guess is the issue, but never seen one for sale... You also have a pink Midwest Franchise, mines green, but never seen a pink one.... Great list of tracks mate.. 🙂

Is the label on the SHOCK-FOOTSTEPS ACROSS MY MIND is it dark green all over, or a couple shades of green / brown? I've 2/3 colours? mal

we know... but hey could you get either of these cheaper? if the answer is yes, nothing to wrorry about then...

He does but he only opens for definite on a Friday, and he does sometimes miss one.... I've Had some great tracks off him from there...

London record shops are not what they were, you will find something in the center / soho Oxford street et al, but to my mind it would be better to get a west bound tube to Putney if you can, Soul Brother Records is always a good trip... otherwise there is a good shop in Camden just a short walk from the tube, think it’s called ‘out on the floor’ he has several boxes nothing really Rare but 10/20 quid originals and good selection of boots and lps

I do like a good run out groove as much as the next man Gordon, but the above post does make us all sound like nerds! Lol we know they are fake, but we want to know the ‘why’ of it.... mal

They must be lookalikes, surley... I can’t see anybody knocking out any number of these as originals, even back then you would have to charge a fair bit given their value, and what if you run out of any one title? You’re stuffed.., i cant see them up close but I’d say 99.9% lookalikes, but of course nice lookalikes at that 🙂 mal

Had this happen a few times over the years, think some of them have been soul 45s as protection, or in one case two more copies of the track I was buying, that was Ernie Andrews on capital that one, on the lp front I’ve had lots of great sleeves used as stiffeners of one bloke in the states, perfect nick but no discs:-(

deffo Lebonese, here's another 🙂

Not mine, grabbed of evilbay, but very nice. I think this was Leabonese, but I cant remember now, didnt write it down just grabed the scans... I guess SLD had the Motown account.

Not his best though Chalky wouldn't you agree?

Might be something about the two in ‘Chicago Soul’ mines in storage,anybody take a look at their copy?
