Would have said about 60, 70 quid for the UK demo.

Think Shifty may have had a pic sleeve a while back.

Yeah I thought that!

Anyone have an idea of current value for the Alfie 12"?

Nice avatar there mate! Is that the spare? My bogus one brought you out of the woodwork then? All good clean fun!

Sounds like you were sniped mate. Remember passing on a Ernie Washington - Lonesome Shack (CHATTAHOOCHEE) from Fingers for a couple of hundred quid VG+. Would have meant leaving the venue for a far away cashpoint and I just couldn't be arzed. Regretted it ever since..

Remember a club called The Car Wash, somewhere in London years ago - The regular funky inhabitants were exiting as our lot were turning up, though inevitably a few pish takers were ligging about. I don't remember the record played but clearly remember Keb's intro... "If you don't like soul music, fook off"!

I think it's been an interesting thread in all honesty. Bit miffed we've not seen evidence of the existance of the JDM Tower issue. However the existance is beyond doubt and the seller has worked the system well - had his hand bitten off at half price and what buyer would want a scan posted, promting "I'll give you double" pm's.. A scan will turn up one day.

No you're not Nev. Spot on posting mate. Laughing here Dave. Chinese whispers etc - you've gone from someone who had an issue, to someone who'd seen a scan of an issue, to non of the above! Don't get the wrong idea about SS, still the same bunch of good northern helpful folk as ever. We were only miffed cos we couldn't see a scan. Paul sold it 2 mins after listing it and if the buyer didn't want a scan posted then furry muff as they say - mystery solved. Get it right Ian Pete-s (mod) quoted me, I posted Paul's activity as I was miffed he was schtuming up. All is clear now, he didn't break any rules. I don't think Nev is a twat, nor is it necessary for you to refer to him as such. He was just in the dark about it, like everybody else. The owner of this ultra rare tower issue know's about this thread. be a sport like so many of our mates are and show us what we wanna see, there's a good lad!

I agree with what you say Nige. I don't doubt Paul's credentials, enough reputable people have vouched for him. I think this was handled poorly, very poorly. Ian Seaman seems to be rejoicing that it's gone and no scan will be forthcoming. Scan or no scan, yeah Ebay would have been a better bet imo.

That doesn't read to well in a public forum to be honest. If it's all so secret squirrel then why not just pm a few would be interested parties and see what the interest was/is? That wasn't done - a public sales post was made with no scan. What's the big deal on getting a scan ffs? How far would you get on Ebay with this record and no scan?

Ah nice one Snookums! Your original posting (below) made it sort of sound like he had one ...

Eh up Richard, it ain't gone yet mate! Think pos dude.. Welcome to Soul Source btw.

None of them as rare as that though Rod - hence the concern..

What's going on Paul? Not like you can't have seen these scan requests?

Yeah JDM. Dave Moore was the only person I knew that had an issue - thought you had seen a scan?

was that the dave moore one chalx?

Yeah man! Got out of bed to watch a bit of 'Ray' and noticed this was on and watched most of it. Gonna see the bits I missed on the i player.

The history of The Action

I thought similar from Rob Bailey this morning. Then received the message below from Carl Stopforth from the FB group The Action 'Kings of Kentish Town' The reason why this group exists? The Action weren't just good, they where very good! Lets reflect on the music they made and the wonderful voice of Reg King, one of the many reasons why The Action still mean so much to so many people. R.I.P Reg King!

Sad news Reg King lead singer of 60's mod group The Action has sadly passed away aged 65. R.I.P Reggie.

And well said you Tony Smith 1. See you at the old place for a birthday jar, looking forward. Long live the 100 Club!

Agree with above, though so called 'funky northern' is enough to keep us away.
