What a tune - and the CD is less than a fiver so I can play it in the car - thanks. Still want the 45 though - anyone?

At our night before Xmas we had three obligatory guys around 18/20 years old do the usual thing. They stagger in, do a double take at the 'oldies' dancing wierdly and start laughing Then they try out their moves on the dance floor - taking the piss, eyeing everyone up - the usual stuff. So I go alongside one guy and tell him he's very welcome to be here "You what mate" he says. I tell him it's my night and a private party but they can stay, its no problem. He looks me up and down, - as much as you can when you are pissed. I then feel quite good in that I have befirended him but made it clear they have to behave in a subtle kind of way. Then one of our friends goes up to his mate and gets up close and personal, - stands toe to toe with him and says "You should all f*** Off" - the look on this 18 year olds face as a grown woman possibly his mums age has told him to get the eck off our boat. Priceless. They didnt come back...

By The Velvelettes - this is an unreleased Motown song thats on You Tube I seem to remember a copy on John Manships site for auction Does anyone have any info on any / how many copies, does anyone play it out - I love the song Thanks, Ian

What a bloomin fantastic thread - absolutely lovin this one!

"Smokey Joes La La" - by Googie Rene Combo Got from Tony Clarke who DJ'd at The Mayfair Suite in Bristol in about 1985 for £7 - I think he got it from a dealer up north somewhere. Its not really Northern but was my first 45 that got me into it and I think that chart singles were about a pound at the time so it was a lot of money for me to spend on a 45. I still have it to this day. Then I got "Cigarette Ashes by Jimmy Conwell off John Manship and was off at the start of building a collection of Soul.

" I Ain't Gonna Stop" The Masqueraders " Pretty Baby" The COD's " Boys and Girls Together" Johnny and The Expressions

100 Club - Lorraine Chandler " You Only Live Twice" Drummonds - Tony Middleton "To The Ends Of The Earth"

Cheers Ernie, thanks. I want an ex copy from a UK seller and dont want to pay above £30 really.

15 years ago I heard it and knew I could never justify spending the money on a piece of vinyl. Its a reasonably rare girl group northern tune. Later my job paid better but I could never really justify buying it cos it had gone up in value. I saw a few copies on auction sites that were about double what I thought it was worth and what I was willing to pay. It stayed on my list and I thought I'd one day sell up and just buy this one 45. Then it appears on a site, I bid and win it for about a ton less than I thought it would fetch. I eat beans on toast for the rest of the month and just about make it to payday without dipping into savings. Now I wish I'd done it earlier! However I now have a new 'top want' at the 'top' of the list to replace the Demures 45 that I now have. If I apply the same principle as before I should just buy it (it's fairly readily available) - but its Christmas coming up, my daughter wants a whole host of presents and, really, - can I justify spending that much on a piece of vinyl? Possibly

A nice clean Ex (vinyl) copy wanted please. I want the sleeve with the flag on it - thinks its the UK version? For the track Warm Kind Of Sorrow From a UK seller please, thanks. Regards Ian

I'm currently selling a copy within the sales section if you still need this one. Regards Ian

I'm not sure if this has been a topic before so here goes. These days a lot of us soulies, with access to You Tube and dealers with websites with sound files, can spend hours clicking and listening to a huge variety of songs and artists that we may not have heard before. We all flick around on You Tube and when you've listened to a song there are a selection of other sings you could listen to next. So - when you're choosing what to go for next - dies the label it's on put you off. Do you think you know what that 45 on RCA is going to be like or how a Mercury 70's single is going to sound? Does the label / producer put you off or intrigue you?

Pm'd you

Not sure - just let them sit around gathering dust usually. I bought about 25 or so 45's in Brizzle this year in one go - mostly soul / r and b labels with a few known artisits but nothing really jumped out when I played them at home. I keep looking at them and hoping that they'll improve with age or that someone will sneak a copy of The Magnetics in there for me to 'discover' ! - Wishful thinking eh?

Bloomin eck thats good...
