dave F I have met the French guy you eluded to. Really nice chap, and yes he got loads of stuff, sent from his NY office when they got stuff sent to them. He won't have a FW, and also he is also aware of the prices of the stuff he does have.....Steve

There are a number of 1 and 2 known copy records - so on rarity value Frank WIlson isn't unique. But it is Motown and that counts for a lot, and yes it was stupid to sell Jim Gilstrap to Tim Brown when you could have sold it to me Ian

Nice record......fast and good.

About £70. Been a Yarmouth spin for both Mike Charlton and me, and possibly others too.

top crossover tune.

I would imagine Simon got Andy Dyson's copy.....Sam is raving about it. Can't say I'd remember seeing it before, but the grey cells aren't what they once were.....

Hi Simon Sams got another one by him - very rare indeed. "Silly kind of love" was the original in vogue side before it went a bit funky and then Lost came to the fore.

Well I could certainly give the Stax museum a complete run of their singles, which I don't think they have

I suspect there will come a time when I am carted off to a controlled access place for old fogies, and at that point they'll probably have to go. But by then I won't be interested in getting money for them. Would probably donate them to charity or something.

No bad but the condition is!!! Jees you can't even play it out like that.

Answer for me is simple. No because I love the music, and I love vinyl, and always will. To me they're records and tunes I cherish. Steve

Beats me Pete. Ebay is getting more like I-Offer every day.

Don't keep them in the sun Seriously prefer vinyl - styrene you can't really visually grade and the amount of M- stuff knocking about with needle burn and distortion makes it tricky when buying without hearing first. Also styrene cracks too easily in a packed record box . Styrene wansn't designed to be durable - 7" records were only designed to have a shelf life of a few weeks. DJ's DON'T BACK CUE YOUR RECORDS.

My views on Holly St James are well known. So I won't repeat them. Freddie Lowe £507 - wow!!!

What number is this one please?

That's the one "You must know magic" - pure quality.......had also forgotten about the mis spelt Wand as well. Cheers Steve

Hi Darryl It's actually the A side of that Musicor title that I prefer - I have it somewhere but cannot remember the title right now as I am not at home - nice mid tempo tune though (still think "Name it and claim it" is the best 45 though). Did you do anything else other than the Wand and Musicor sides and was there stuff you laid down that never got released? Names like Tony Camillo and Anthony Bonjiovi are household names amongst the soul fraternity...Anyway welcome to SouL Source. Steve

Craig took the stock from Soul Bowl. Soul Bowl had lots of copies as John bought up all the stock off of Spyro Gyra when they had their big hit on RCA in the 70s and never sold them all. It's actually the Spyro Gyra boys moonlighting

When the scan appeared on Clarkie's list, I asked him about it at great Yarmouth and he told me it was a wind up - it obviously worked eh Stevie?

Great record I also like his "One monkey shouldn't monkey with another monkey's monkey" purely for the song title!

oH this old chestnut again...................Clarkie's scan was not a real 45.

that lyric sounds like The Falcons on Atkins All Stars, not sy Hightower.

hi Ady - good to see you are ever the optimist when it comes to footie. Like you I don't think this one ever came out, but will check.

It just goes to show you the best investment any newcomer can make is The Manship bootleg guide. I know it's not perfect, but it should help avoid blatant bootleg rip offs like this. Delta matrix 99000 - Shusssss! Thought everyone including my next door neighbours knew that meant Mid 70s!

Tough one Chicago Pete and the Detroiters
