Sad news, top fella who loved having a laugh and good craic, may he R.I.P.

See below the latest article from local press here in Middlesbrough. What I can confirm is that they will be starting to press 7" in the summer and with a minimum order of 100 to be pressed. They have an onsite artist who can also do label design or you can submit your own and he will make it fit to size etc. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/middlesbrough-independent-vinyl-record-firm-25958088

Work's keeping me busy and away a lot, next place for me will be The Fed Newcastle in March as I'm home.

Fantastic set, right up my street, really enjoying your music.

What about the Million Dollar Disco cut on 12" was it out before this 7" version?

18yrs, but remember having to re-join at some point.

Very sad news indeed, this is a few favourites of mine & the wife's.

Looking for Soul Togetherness 2012 album vinyl only please. Pm with details please.

It's as a "Buy it Now" option at $75

So sorry I haven't read your book, please tell me what the title is and I'll look in the bargain bins.

It's not my bag either, but some folks maybe into this type of sound or just interested due to it's supposed rarity as John Manship mentions on his current write up as below on his auction site. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/harmonica-harry-nothing-but-the-blues-rampart-ramblers-soulin-sr-100-197263.html Harmonica Harry Nothing But The Blues / Rampart Ramblers Soulin' : SR 100 (45s) Elmon Mickle aka Model "T" Slim with another strong Los Angeles, street-Blues mover this time under the alias of Harmonica Harry on an extremely rare label neighborhood label produced by Jack "Moon" Elliott. In our experience this is Model T's rarest 45 by far. Written by the highly regarded "Hooks Brothers" of Los Angeles., a partnership that crafted too many to mention, street-level Blues/Soul/R&B productions during the 60's. All on colourful,, independent labels, all highly sought after. This example surfacing only twice this century, in acceptable condition. This copy is a real beauty, two flawless labels, full gloss vinyl revealing only the merest signs of human contact. "An impossible find" So now listen again to Model T's harmonica prowess as his rips into Mickel Hooks aggressive creation. Searing Harp notes will ring in your ears, whilst tricky guitar rhythms lay down the pulses for this Jump Blues" winner, an imposing raw R&B dance experience x 2. Noting hardly anyone can boast of owning this relentless L.A. R&B Tittyshaker, leaving an opening an enterprising R&B DJ to break some new ground. The flipside adds a crazed saxophone into the mix, making this a fabulous double-helping of seriously RARE R&B that just never comes to market.

The below is currently on John Manship auction, someone may bag a bargain. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224887160440?hash=item345c51be78:g:EWsAAOSwSZtiMBo9#vi-desc-maincntr https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/harmonica-harry-nothing-but-the-blues-rampart-ramblers-soulin-sr-100-197263.html

Collins for me, a nice snappy arrangement and I lean towards the 70's more these day's.
