Arrived later than first planned with Sid and Bernadette Jones, Tony Livesey and Billy Mailey in tow. The back seat drivers couldn't agree on directions even down to left or right at a three lane junction. We got there though. As was to be expected the music was varied and for the most part from the back of peoples boxes. The floor was kept busy most of the night with records worth from £25 to £X,000. Some hours were split with the DJ doing 30 minutes each and other doing the hard task of alternating and still keeping a set flowing musically. It was a pleasure double decking with Sid and the Virtue acetate he played was mega and new to almost everyone. (Paul would have liked that). It was a laugh too, collectively managing to discuss records with people and trying to guess what they were trying to remember from clues like "You know the one I mean its on a blue lable" or "Its on the flip to that one Soul Sam used to play". The only thing missing was Paul's razor sharp whit and dry humour. It was an honour to play a few and certainly a first for me to be paid in bath bombs.

Forthcoming Release - Jon Allen and The Skinner Brothers - Feel Alright.
Ged Parker commented on Ged Parker's article in News Archives
Ive had a few asking for a specific time. Sales will go live just after midnight tonight if all goes to plan. -
Glamp Rd Records is delighted to present its eagerly anticipated first release; ‘Feel Alright’ by Jon Allen and The Skinner Brothers. After being played as 'The UD Toronadoes'; the fictional rivals to the TSU Toronadoes (University of Dallas rather than Texas State University); interest was such that finding the real vocalist became a mission. Having located the writers and through them the rights owners of the tracks negotiations began on bringing the track to vinyl as well as work on a new label to carry the 45. Glamp Rd has a philosophy of releasing tracks that have never been seen on vinyl and presenting them in the traditional British format. This its alongside ensuring the rights owners are duly rewarded for their efforts and collectors are presented with a value for money package that is sure to appreciate in value. Fully licensed and available in a limited release of 300 individually numbered 45s, this 45 sets a trail for releases to follow. Pre-release demand has been high and this first and only press is set to instantly be a collector’s piece as well as a dancefloor winner. This collaboration between Jon Allen and The Skinner Brothers (Adam and Dan) appears here for the first time on vinyl. Its firmly in the mould of the Texan style soul of Archie Bell or the TSU Toronadoes. Adam and Dan Skinner are accomplished multi-instrumentalist that both graduated from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Their work has been featured in original programming on TV channels around the globe. Working on scores for feature length and short films, they have honed their skills in their fully equipped central London recording studio. Their work spans the spectrum of musical styles from indie to world music taking in rock, soul, blues and jazz along the way. Drawing on this rich palette and they work as performers and producers alongside some of the finest musicians from the English Session Orchestra, RSVP Choir and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. All these elements come together here in a superb track from their digital album ‘Soul Rewired’. ‘Feel Alright’ is coupled with the equally dancefloor friendly instrumental version that has never been publicly available until now. There are no 'pre-orders' or 'pre-payment' options and the release is only available direct from www.glamprd.com. It will go on sale on Sunday 20th March 2022 and until that point will show as 'Sold Out' to prevent pre-orders. https://www.glamprd.com -

When I worked in the Training Department at Cape Hill in Birmingham we had two team members called Jean. I used to think it would be impossible to get in anywhere on Broad Street on a team night out if they all said "No Jeans and No Trainers.

In that case £200

Try Phil Threlfall or Ian Cunliffe Chic.

Time and place. Values were much lower back then and supply of mint and mint- records was plentiful. Now its hard to find minters of even some common titles.

By definition an auction price is the price only one person was prepared to pay. If you see some of the eBay items with 30+ people watching them how can the finish price of that be any guide to its value if only 1 in 30 thought it was worth that. Its all a bit mad really.
-
Ian Wills' copy is far from mint.

Gary Rushbrooke early 80's. It may have been around on tapes before that but I hadn't heard it before then. I'm not sure it's ever been away since has it? The boot caught a few people out when it appeared it was so close to an original.
