Don't be surprised that people want to help you out, you are one of the most kind and generous people I have ever met, and not only on the soul scene.
Over the last 12 months, you knew I couldn't afford to buy many records, but every time I saw you, you always produce some little girlie gem out of your sales box and refuse to take any money for it. You have given me not only northern soul records but some special girlie stuff like the Brenda Lee australian Demo and the Shirley Bassey test press.
You have encouraged me behind the decks and been a mentor to me. I am pleased to be able to help, even if it is a small amount compared to the vinyl, encouragement and friendship you have given me over the last year.
Mr Smith, you've got funds.
