Dazz

This is probably the hardest letter I've ever had to write. I have been a Rare Soul collector for 35 years and have amassed a massive amount of 45's estimated at around 10,000 pieces. The collection includes approximately 250 from Manship's Rarest of the Rare, a majority of Kev's Top 500, a good proportion that are on Soulclub.Org plus a fair swathe of the Motown catalogue, not to mention one-offs and really rare pieces not found in the books, records are from the following genres Northern, Modern & R&B from the 60's & 70's. If somebody wants to offer me a million dollars for the lot that would be good, however in reality I am looking to raise an amount of money and so I'm looking for serious offers for your major wants. Obviously with so many records it would be almost impossible to list them all here, that is why I am looking for your priced wants lists. As you would imagine I do have an idea of what they are worth so please don't offer a couple of quid for the Caressors or a fiver for Danny Monday, only serious offers will be considered or even replied to. Please no "have you got" or "what do you want for" questions. I don't think anybody can own them all so if you send me a wants list please include some alternatives. I am a collector so I usually only have 1 copy of any given record. I will reply to all mails provided: 1) You have sent me a PRICED Wants list 2) I have the record you want 3) Your offer is good 4) I need to tell you about the condition etc 5) You have rare 45's to trade that I haven't owned yet Please send emails to dazz@ntlworld.com First come first served but please give me time to answer. Thank you for looking Dazz

Hi Chalky T'was me - it's on the Impresario label as Billy Sans

Hi Malc Don't think it's the same Astronaut label but there is a 45 by the wonderfully named Stormy Brooks & Escapades called Doris on Astronaut 116 doo wop record Dazz

Originally issued as Billy Sans on Impresario 129

Does anybody know, what it is worth on US Imperial Thanks

Right on Steve I thought it was boll&cks as well Banks in goal Marvin doing 'Whats going on'

Dynamic Upsetters - I want a man to shag with me on CPI

VG+ superb other than a drill hole £200 Pm me if interested Thanks for looking Dazz

Mate why don't you just bid £1000 on every £100 record you'd like on any day of the auction. I can guarantee you will win it

Hi Mike Twas "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free" by Billy Taylor Trio on Tower think there was one on Manship's auction the other week Dazz

I think the record in question was My Guy - Mary Wells, I have got one somewhere although I won't be able to lay my hands on it easily, the plastic is well flimsy and the sound quality is less than perfect, the label looks like it was turned.

More good stuff added - Mel Britt, Duane Calvert on DMD, James Bynum on Philly City some other good stuff and a few Funk items Thanks Dazz

Sean It finished at £294 In future uses Gasher's way to find the number of the tune your interested in and then substitute it in for the 1000 of this address https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/auction/newli...tionItemID=1000 ie Curly Moore was 2189 so load a browser with the above address or just click it and then in the title bar of your browser put 2189 in for 1000 Hope this helps Dazz Should of added that I think a Firefox browser doesn't get this problem and this fix is only for microsoft browsers I Thank You

Try the other side of Monkey, Martin quite good imho

Hi Kirsty It's in JM's 1st book for 300 and in his Million Dollar book as a 5 Star rarity only ever seen 2 go through Ebay, so I thought £350 was quite good to be honest. PM me your best offer and we can talk about it if you like. Thanks Dazz

Nobody interested in any of these then? Want to make an offer?

Tony Hercules 101 is The Victorians C'mon dream/Catrina THE VOLCANOS ABOVE ARE NOT THE PHILLY GUYS.... anyone know the guy on the acetate at all please. Mel I assume the guy in the acetate is Zenobia Bonner of Accident label fame "If it's a hit it's by Accident" Dazz

Got to say that I have had plenty of 45's off Lars and always found him to be an honest seller. It may be that there is a dodgy record collector working at lars's local sorting office who recognises the package size, handwriting etc and performs the deed. Try a different sorting office Lars or camoflage the packet a bit more

Dave - could I just point out for your records where you have 7104 - ? and 7103 as both Yolanda Carr and the Magnetics 7104 - ? should be The Magnetics, have a look at your record/scan. Just need to know what 7101 is now

Think Richard Searling had a demo copy Dave, Black and white label design

Seen an issue sold on Ebay - $81

Bugger - forgot the picture
