  1. Chalky if we form a consortium.....We can make it!
  2. Yes enjoyed Betty Swann - great to see her.
  3. If you told us what the record was it might help....
  4. has to be a BIG trophy record then.....we all know what's up there in that league.......
  5. Yes and booted, nearly 40 years ago........totally different today when finding a new genuinly unknown record is truly an event.
  6. Reality is (and I know you know this) there isn't going to be a credible cover up of a major or come to that semi-known recording artist at this stage. All of their records are well known to collectors etc. The only c/ups tend to be of complete unknown / lesser known acts who by definition didn't sell beans (hence relative scarcity). We're a million miles from Willie Hutch or Betty Lavette records being covered up...
  7. Fred Dibner Jr played a copy at the Wheeltappers & Shunters club last month. How many more copies are there then?
  8. So after Richard got it from John Anderson originally, I am pretty certain his copy ended up with Butch who played it for quite a while still covered up, certainly into the 90s. There are a number of copies around. Can't remember for sure now but I think mine came from one of them Burnley guys.
  9. Thanks Mick will be in touch.
  10. Does anyone do editing as well as carving? I have a nice 60s acetate but it's got a loud click for about four rotations, where someone looks to have gouged it with a screwdriver or nailfile or something.....
  11. Interesting I thought they'd gone out of business?
  12. Butch has a 7 for sale. Saw it in his box at cleethorpes.
  13. Nice one went down well at Filthy Soul the other week.....Keep up the good work Soul Junction>>>>
  14. The energy those guys like Pickett had was phenomenal.....
  15. Yes a good un Dave.
  16. Voices of east Harlem?, darn I had switched over to the worlds most scariest airports - being a regular air traveller just wanted to spook myself up a bit more back on BBC4 now!!!
  17. 1.55 a.m. Me too Dave.
  18. It's repeated overnight, look at yer planner...
  19. So far so good, enjoying it!
  20. So 99 came first by my reckoning. 37005 was one of the Steady "Phase 2" releases which were actually distributed by Scepter. The tie up was Art Trefferson, an ex Scepter employee who teamed up to run the New York arm of Steady Records (the other arm was in Jamaica) - it was a kind of jointly run thing. Lois Lee was married to ex Scepter act Joey Dee, and also was part of Johnny Maestro & crests in 64..... Steve
  21. I am saying there isn't "a scene".....but instead there are loads of different scenes
  22. I thought that was what i was trying to say Pete. When I said there is no scene as such I didn't mean there weren't people into the music, just that it's become totally fragmented.
  23. One things for sure, there is no longer a "scene" as such. Just a loose linkage of broadly black music sub genres and clubs playing assorted music from 1955 to 2013 - everything from oldies, newies, lesser playeds, funk, crossover, mid tempo, old moddun, new moddun, great funk, crap funk.... etc etc....
  24. I think it helped sell a few more copies of B.J.Thomas......
  25. No in The League of Gentlemen a "no tail" was a "human being" (i.e someone without a tail). In the context of finding a wife for "David" (Tubs & Edwards son / monster) it would obviously have been a female, but a "no tail" is not "gender specific"......
