I saw it at £750 and thought it would make a few more quid....but bloomin heck that's mad...I know it's a minter but come on...5 years or so ago these were on e.bay every week...great record to be fair and the oldies are fetching all the money, then, and definitely now!!... Kind regards.....Rob

It's a thing of beauty Pete...look & sound....out of my league unfortunately on brute but a wow reord to our ears matey.......Rob

Yep, have this as well....I'm noticing a theme with my record purchases!!!.....Rob

Awesome record....got a friend who has one on brute....lucky beggar...it has it for me.......Rob

Jack Montgomery..."Don't turn your back on me"!!!!!.......Rob

Carol & gerri....."how can I ever find a way" normally hits the spot....mind you "on you heart ache looks good" is a cracker!!....kind regards...Rob

Yeah that was it Peter. It got a little personal but probably not meant then Len closed it, probably right. They were fab reading as I love the stories. Chat to gilly sometimes having a ciggy and listening to him is better than you have ever learnt at school!!! It's a Detroit education...kind regards...Rob

Yeah I read some Pete but not sure there was one on mr anderson, he is mentioned lots in the Stafford threads...a nice chappy and been there so interesting to me (possibly no one else!).. Thank you...Rob

Would like to know more about Dean Anderson...where his journey started etc...I've heard him play at pure soul in Nuneaton and know he is friends with Gilly, Nicola (gillys other half), Rob Grey etc...seemed a great bloke and played a fab set...I find it really interesting reading about these folk..maybe a thread that would embarrass him I'm sure..thank you..Rob

It was an awesome show Peter.....it's a quality show and listen to it as often as I can...always something played you want to search for and buy...kind regards, Rob.

Would say that's about right....a fair few must of been through your hands on more than one occasion young lee...kind regards....Rob

All fab to these ears....you left me on peaches is an amazing record!......great stuff.....Rob p.s....wouldn't fancy the bill for that one frankie.

Ha-ha that's the logic I've used on many an occasion.

Last record shop I was in was Blackpool gotta be 10 years plus ago. Either up past the winter gardens (or tower?) past a church on the left and up there on the right!!..two doors..the first room albums the next 45,s...loads of soul singles and not in any order (roughly 200 per row)...owner fairly un interested but certainly new his stuff once immersed in conversation and didn't think you were a time waster....bought an album and a few singles and got a discount...one thing I remember I saw was that he had just bought part of the twisted wheel stage, the back of it from memory, and saw the original photos....great moment and won't forget it. Wife went mad, went for an hour, and two and a half hours later I arrived back...the all consuming world we live in...it's great.....kind regards...Rob p.s is the shop still there??

Thank you for taking up the weekly posting of jm,s auction, great stuff. Is martha Starr that much now??? To be fair it's a minter and a great double sider....I thought it would be about a thousand pounds in that condition.....right then, back to burying my head in the sand!...kind regards...Rob

Never seen one of them Pete...very nice and gotta be really rare....would anyone know if many were issued? Thank you for posting.....kind regards.....Rob

Saw one sold a few weeks ago at a do I was at.....£350. Good luck.....Rob

Wow...fascinating...thank you for posting....Rob would be interesting to know if mr swern is a soul collector, or has just amassed so many records that these rarities he has were picked up in bulk from radio stations etc.

Think I'm at about 10 max! A long stint on you tube matey........Rob

Reckon I saw a blue Reid one on discogs.....from memory it wasn't a very good copy but maybe worth a look...good luck...........Rob

Looks proper to me...I'm no expert on matrix numbers..the A always is a pinky/light red colour on any okeh records I've seen....the more knowledgeable people on here will tell you...kind regards...Rob

Brilliant new idea to me...great stuff...kind regards...Rob

We seem to have hijacked the thread with our reminiscing!!...can remember getting kicked out of discography?? Record shop for saying his records were to expensive!, they were!.....mellandi and the cavern is where I got my mod clobber from..I reckon a lot have followed our kinda path......happy days Mal and we are still going strong!.....Rob

I reckon we have been in the same places at the same time....gotta have been....used to go the mod cafe before the outrigger....seemed bloody miles from the station!....we came over from Nuneaton matey.....and yes "tossers" is the correct term for the idiots who wanted to kick our heads in. The soul light still burns very brightly in Nuneaton, Hinckley and surrounding area.....kind regards...Rob

Had to reply after that Mal....I listened to northern at the school youth club and local discos.....I'm 46 this year....and went to the outrigger in brum when I was poss 13/14, and got served cider!!....no recollection of northern records because of 3 pints of the good stuff but can definitely remember being chased round Birmingham by skin heads ( looked huge blokes to me)..."out on the floor".."the champion", "nine times out of ten" got me first interested.....then forgot a bit and did the rave thing....I strangely then decided to listen to a few compilation northern c.d,s at about 30 years old and bought a few records after that.....spoke to a friend at a christening and went to my first do...Nuneaton allnighter.....more records, more do,s, more friends and down hill all the way!!!...met some good friends....a lovely all consuming scene...kind regards...Rob p.s...could write far, far more about my journey.....its been fab...Rob
