John Anderson knows him, and he confirmed it's his son. John told me this when he sold me the Ralph Jackson on the Rajac label.....and I remember saying at the time "oh I got one by Jr Jacksonon the same label"....."Yeah that's his son" came the reply.

Not really fast enough for a hot box sound is it? They have to be UPTEMPO and MANIC Ian. This is smmoooooooooth soul.

Mark, you mean Ian Faulkner. Sam put him onto soul when he was in his class at school (true). We were talking about him a few months ago - told me he is still around in the Horseman's Green area around Bangor / Wrexham, but is no longer "active", preferring civilian duties such as mowing the lawn and painting the gate, to record hunting these days.

A lot of them do go round and round - Sam's told me that he has had at least 4 Del Larks over the years. Buys one, sells it, buys another one for more, sells it for even more etc etc. Record inflation..... Records that come here though, stay here! I only ever sold one record and got £1 less for it than I wanted (£4 instead of £5) (this was at Wigan); the experience kind of put me of selling for ever. So ever since I've only ever bought records and leave the selling to others.

Didn't Sam review this one recently? (which means he might be selling his copy!!!) Really nice record and a nice sweet "B" too.

No it's his son. Ralph Soul jackson on Rajac also an old Plinston spin for me. I always thought it had legs but it never really took off with the dancers.

One here too - minter ....will have a look in my collection and see what I can dig up. J Kelly was the obvious missing one that I can remember - it was mis pressed on Wand with a Roadshow release number, but has a proper Wand speckled logo label. Just Bros and Honey Bees are still an urban myth - release numbers but don't know of anyone who'se even seen a copy. Humphrey stomp however the other Garrison 45 with a Wand release number does exist . Steve

It is the original UK issue. You are not wrong.

Yeah he plaguerised that quote from me Andy

No, that comes later.....have a good weekend Jordi.

You think this is bad Jayne, you should read some of the funk boards!!! Now those boys can be quite rude when they want to be

Yup have to agree...they were pretty good later in the 70s as well as Love Committee - .I can see a new thread coming on - artists who never bad a bad record / labels will all good records

I've never actually heard that one Hippo. Soundclip? Or is it toooooo bad?

If anyone needs a house painter in Somerset I can recommend a good one.

Completely dead in east devon and somerset. Not many records at all anymore and those that are left are things like The Wurzels.

Yes, but the Beds Man has got a long way to go to catch up

You are pissed off? I was in a meeting and forgot to bid on New Designers to replace my acetate. Got home and uncle Sam is on the phone "Did you get it?" Arggghhh.

Part 2 is excellent.

So Corrie is the root of all evil? Have to say thought round here all DJs played OVO. Had a shock recently when I saw local man playing carvers of released stuff. I was going to complain to the promotor, but then remembered he was the one that booked said DJ in the first place. Still too many venues and DJs....and an ageing population.

The real risk is fire. Followed by water damage if you live in a flood zone. Followed by treading on them - my problem - just snapped a R Tyler & G Davis).....before that cracked a TNJs on Chess - inadequate storage....

Mine is with Hiscox - 0.6% rate. Better than 1%, but still quite costly.

Just thought everyone would like to know

Is that Yvonne Vernee on your avatar?

....and it's also at least a thousand times better than Frankie Valli "The Night"

Steve Plumb has an issue - I have seen it. Bloomin' rare one if you ask me.
