  1. Just see this, very sad news. Rest in peace TC.x
  2. Rugby's not small. Not so much wide, but awfully long.
  3. Thanks mate and yeah as Phil has said, be really good to see you at Rugby and have a catch up. PM'ing you those contact details.
  4. Jim Trouble had one of these, you could try him. Couple of different versions, but he had the good one. Can I just say, great to hear from you Johnny!
  5. Yep doesn't surprise me lack of replies, bit of an obscurity. Think both of above came from same seller. Did well on 1st sale and not so on second. End of the day a record is worth what you are willing to pay and I'm willing to pay about a oner. Have just seen a semi recent Manship auction where this went for I think, £106. So think I am spot on with a oner here. Thanks to me for all my help with this.
  6. What would be a realistic current price for Wayne Boling - Girl I Like To dance With You - CAMPO ? 13-12-2011 - $400. M- 26--06-2012 - $106. M-
  7. And a $2k starting bid!
  8. Got an Italian copy not long back, great tune. Available on German pic cover & allsorts. AKA Lee Vanderbilt (RCA, 1976) and Bradford Dene his real name was Kenrick des Etages and he was born in 1935 in the USA but was based in the UK. He worked with Biddu, Jimmy James and Tina Charles and did a bit of session backing singing. As Ebony Keyes he had a small UK hit in the '60s, I think.

  10. I've known dj's play unknowns and clear the floor and you wonder what were they thinking. However it'd be very boring if everyone played safe all the time. Of course it's easy to say don't play records that are going to clear the floor. Slipping in a lesser known after a few winners of the same genre would be the way for me. For those that don't do this and just drop obscurities in out of the blue and it clears the floor completely, yes fade it out somewhere near the end and big up what a great you think it is, or is going to be, if you feel the need.
  11. Two quid to get in? Token amount, cd thing tut worthy at that price I'd say.
  12. If you didn't pay to get in, it's cool. If you did, then it's a bit off.
  13. Born in 66'. My folks would go to house parties and take me and my sister and some 45's. They would come home with UK Lou Johnson demo's that they didn't set out with. My dad din't buy loads of vinyl but he bought a bit and every weekend he'd have the radiogram on and I'd get to hear Ray Stevens on CBS 'Turn your radio on' and 'Everything is beautiful'. O.C Smith's - Son of Hickory Hollers tramp was massive in our house and I still love that record to this day. Lots of CBS, Fontana, London, Decca, the records had a wiff of old leather, or a certain sort of scent that I can still remember. We had the Beatles Help LP and that got hammered. I listened to both sides this sunday - post bath. We also had The Beach Boys 20 Golden Greats on 8 track in my Dad's Ford Zodiac Executive - XYX 83G and I'm sure 2 girls said that 'Barbara Anne' sounded really cool whilst on holiday in Tenby in that baking summer of 76'. By 1979 I was 13. Me and my best mate Steve Cashman, a Jewish kid who lived round the corner from me and supported Spurs. We won't hold that against him, but like me he had a keen interest in music. Mid seventies we were listening to the Searchers, needle & pins amongst others, Simon & Garfunkel - keep the customer satisfied/bridge over. We were listening to Blondie, Elvis Costello, Olivia Newton-John - one that I want (oh the shame). Beatles - taste of honey. Flux of Pink Indians, Crass and the Sex Pistols. I remember No More Heroes being played at the 1st year school disco in 1977 - think it was number 1? Before you knew it we were in the second year and listening to 'It rained again today' by Secret Affair in Necky's classroom, then Madness, then the Specials, the Beat. Wasn't allowed a skinhead, but had a crew cut, dad chased me round the kitchen. Being a sort of rude boy, Sta Press type geezer apart from the 2 Tone bands the options were limited. Bands like the 4Skins and 'Oi' and shit like that. Contemporary mod bands could be a bit flaky, Merton Parkas, Lambrettas, however for me unlike the rude boy/skinhead scene, musically the mod movement also had attached to it, things like Smokey Robinson and the Four Tops etc. I went to a record shop in Cambridge (The Beat Goes On) and swapped all of my ska for soul. In 1983 one of the faces from The Prize Guys Scooter Club played Out on The Floor on Charger records and that was it. I'd buffeted about with some half decent genres and settled on rare soul. Nearly 30 years on, essentially music taste remains the same and I have my ska collection back.
  14. His sets are not to be sniffed at either, cracking tunes!
  15. No bother. I did find out a copy sold earlier in the year for circa £60.
  16. Asking same question in Box thread. Offered one earlier, 250.
  17. Pete, would you have a view on a price for the 'can't believe you're gone' track?
  18. Bearsy has one I think, you could lean on him?
  19. Worth knowing, thanks Gene.
  20. Soul Source member Monique (Sue) had one for sale on here, a good while back. Will see if I can find the thread. Ahh.. offers.. Monique, on Jul 27 2007, 07:14 PM, said: Up for offers Can't Believe You're Gone - The Blues Brothers - BRA- M-
  21. What's an up to date value for this?
  22. Good topic. More likely to be out of my mind when procuring vinyl at a venue. This can lead to impetuous purchases which has seen me pay through the nose in the past.
  23. No price on this one mate?
