I never knew the name of this record dealer, but he'd give any already mentioned in this thread a good run for their money! Christ he was a miserable bastard!
Don't know if anyone will remember, but many years ago there were record dealers in front of the stage at the 100 Club. My mate was after a copy of 'I ain't a bit sorry' by the Dedications. Only at the time he thought it was by Ben E King. So anyway he asks this guy "excuse me mate have you got I ain't a bit sorry by Ben E King"? To which matey replied "It's not by Ben E King" - my mate "whose it by then" - dealer "the Dedications" - mate "you got one"? dealer - "no".
Anyway we moved along the line a found a copy. On our way back my mate (holding his purchase aloft) said to Mr Happy, "I got that Dedications record' - The dealer just about managed a very low grade acknowledgement.
What a tosser, live a little mate, smile a bit ffs! lol.
Richard Domar is a God. He's not the God but he's sort of a God in obscure soul record collecting terms and in my eyes anyway.
