ATCO ? IS THERE SOMAT I DONT KNOW HERE

DUMBER AND DUMBER DAVE. LIKE YOU SAID WE'VE ALL DONE IT, I'VE GOT MORE STORIES LIKE THAT ONE ABOUT LETTING RECORDS GO , IM WELLING UP

Around 1978 a friend of mine called Dave Chase was going to the Wigan oldies Allnighter I said to Dave 'can you see if you can sell these records for me mate, a couple of not so well known tracks and 3 played out oldies'. I then said 'Try and get me around £20 if you can as Ginger has promised to sell me his copy of Margaret Mandolph now that its been pressed' Dave duly obliged and got me the £20 so I was well pleased and bought him a couple of beers. Oh, the records he sold for me to buy Margaret Mandolph were..... THE HIGH KEYS - LIVING A LIE - VERVE BLACK ISSUE EDWARD HAMILTON - BABY DONT YOU WEEP - MARY JANE TOMMY BUSH - I DONT LIKE IT - RIKA SILKY HARGAVES - KEEP ON LOVING ME - DEARBORN ISSUE JOSEPH MOORE - I JUST CANT GET TO YOU - MAR-V-LUS OH DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR

BILLY KEENE - WISHING AND HOPING - VAULT/PAULA GEORGE 'DUKE' BYRD - I KNOW IM IN LOVE WITH YOU - PAYTONS NOTATIONS - YOU SHOULD KNOW - SUE CAESARS - GIRL I LOVE YOU - LANIE BETTY FIKES & THE PASSIONS - PROVE IT TO ME - SOUTHBOUND

Sorry for the 'Shiggy DIGgy' could'nt resist.

FAR MORE 'COMMON' THAN I THOUGHT THEN

Only the ONE as far as I know. Originally owned by Rob Thomas but when he had a big sell up then MICK H was quick to pounce...... Anyway good luck on this one, what a tune

Im sure me ol mate Pete Hulatt will give it a spin tomorrow night if you ask.... you can always make him an offer but I dont think you'll have much luck

OH DEAR, OH DEAR, I think the guy must be selling a second hand collection he has aquired from an ex soulie from the 70's who's found a box of his old records in the loft The BOBBY GARRETT on Mirwood looks okay plus a few odds n sods. Dig those old pressings like the Gloria Jones, Sandra Phillips, and Magnificents they got to be rare now Unfortunately someone however has taken the bait and put in an initial bid of £30 on the probable boot of Johnny Sayles OH DEAR, OH DEAR. Just hope we dont see a £1000 bid on the 'PINK' ROBBY LAWSON

PENETRATIONS - HIGHLAND DEMO OR ISSUE SEEN EM GO FOR £250 UP TO £350 (I MISSED ONE - RECENTLY AT £300) PENETRATIONS - TERI DE WERE TALKING £400 TO £500 EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE 'EARLIER' TERI DE LABEL HAS TO BE THE SAME OR HIGHER IN VALUE, I THINK THE GROOVERS IS ABOUT THE SAME BUT SOUL SHAKERS, JIMMY GRESHAM ETC... A LOT MORE OBVIOUSLY, LEN JEWELL A LOT LOT MORE OK MATE

Original has a 'bed' type stamp in the dead wax like you see on MGM records. That should be easy to see in good light

THERE YE GO... JUST A TIP, IF YOU EVER WANT SCANS OF ANY RARE RECORD LABELS JUST GO TO www.popsike.com WHERE STUFF THAT GOES THRO EBAY IS LISTED. THERE IS ANOTHER SOUL SITE WHERE SOMEBODY HAS SCANNED LABELS APHABETICALLY AND THRO ARTIST NAMES, BUT I CANT REMEMBER WHAT ITS CALLED, MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE ON HERE CAN REMEMBER ?

THINK SOMEBODY GOT A BARGAIN HERE, YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL WHEN A RECORD GOES SO QUICK. PAYED OVER A GRAND FOR MINE IN SIMILAR NICK (STILL WORTH IT THO')

EARL JACKSON - SOUL SELF SATISFACTION - ABC ISSUE ONLY KNOW OF ONE COPY ? ........................................... MR LUCKY - STARDOM ..... ANY MORE THAN THE THREE I KNOW OF ? ........................................... HOW MANY FRENCH RCA COPIES OF WILLIE HUTCH - LOVE RUNS OUT ? ........................................... ARTHUR WILLIS - MARS LA TOUR..... JUST THE ONE ?

WELL THATS NOT A LOT OF COPIES THEN !!! AS I SAID, GONNA BE DAMN HARD ESPECIALLY PRISING A COPY OUT OF ANY OF THOSE GUYS........

YOU MIGHT FIND IT EASIER TO GET THIS ON ITS ORIGINAL INDY LABEL - 'PRIORITY' ALTHOUGH IT BOOKS FOR A BIT MORE I HAVENT SEEN SO MANY FAIRMOUNT COPIES GO THROUGH EBAY IF ANY, IN RECENT TIMES
