Top bloke and so sorry to hear this. Hope you are back to your best soon Rick.

Magic Touch is the sound track yes, but the record on the deck when they show Guy when it starts isn 't Magic Touch.

There are plenty of cubes on the net but none of this quality. Even so price pits them out of my pocket, probably the postage too As for beer crates I don't think our lass would be impressed with some of those in the living room......in the cupboard either come to think of it I currently use the LP storage crate from Really Useful Boxes.

As an aside, Guy isn't playing Magic Touch and when he talks I think the voice is Jimmy Wensiora

Think Tim Brown had a quantity as well.

Is the Fabulus release legit?

Another instalment of the Stafford Story. This time featuring the mid 80's spins for Jimmy Wensiora who had some great records back then and doesn't get the credit or recognition I think he deserves at times. https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/StaffordTOTW/files/4104f44065542e531037104350979fd7-56.html Charmianes - Standing In The Need Of Love - April & Blackwood Acetate Joan Baker - Everybody’s Talking - Diamond (Bettye LaVette) Bernard Williams & The Original Bluenotes - Tears Tell The Whole Sad Story - Virtue Acetate.

He is on FB, ask Julie to ask him though on FB.

I asked Richard about the Barrons but he can't remember, try Dave Molloy he said.

I put it in a podcast in 2010 that was pretty popular, posted it on here with all the info, had been playing it a while prior to that, Andy Dyson as well had played it out. Other DJ's had played it out, Keb back in the 80's, I did hear it was played at the Mecca, think Levine mentioned it as he put it in a recent podcast I think, I'd have to listen again to check what he said. James Trouble was selling one on here in 2006 for £80 although for the other side, Shifty was selling one on his list on here in 2008 for £60. It was £75 or thereabouts 3, 4 or 5 years ago the ones I saw in sales boxes and lists etc. In 2011 it was already on the rise. Now it packs the floor. It matters little what a few anoraks think today. Karmello Brooks was £25 back in the 80's, try finding one today for less than £1500. Betty Lloyd was £30 all day long late 80's early 90's, now you'd have to part with several hundred quid, Dottie and Millie a fiver now it is £150 plus and I've seen hundreds more copies of that than Grier Brothers, Ruby Andrews the same and there's thousands of copies. The same can be said for countless records. We can all say it isn't worth this or that but it is irrelevant, it's what something sells for today that matters not 30 years ago and the Grier Brothers the last few I have seen have been in the price wise in the hundreds not tens of pounds. Supply and demand as they say and demand is out stripping supply of this right now.

Why ask Chris? He didn't find it, posts above say who found the track and how and where it was played first.

In Yorkshire slang a troll is a tw*t, I would use the "C" word but some don't like it

I think Flynny has updated his site with most of those I had that he didn't have. As for the Barons, I dunno, I will try and find out.

My Melba Moore anniversary 45 isn't tip exed out, this is my second copy, my first wasn't either as far as I can remember. Oh and it's 6T 2 from 1986.

Who cares what happened or what went pre 1990. A lot of money is spent on records so what £30 to £40 to protect them when on the move is a pretty indsignificant price for peace of mind.

Think this is latest one.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magma-LP40-Bag-II-black-black/111411068529?_trksid=p0.c100204.m3164&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140407115239%26meid%3D8385020536774848819%26pid%3D100204%26prg%3D20140407115239%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D20%26sd%3D251541924977

Magma messenger bag.

I can remember the Chubby Checker (Jimmy Radcliffe) "You can't lose something" was late and given out at one of the Yarmouth Weekenders but that was 1990 ish.

Sounds like a plan mate. We will sort something nearer time.
