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

Great to have someone posting the jm auction results again....thank you...was always some good chat about them....just to add...the Arabians..a fine double sider....£612....bloomin heck!...fab record , mint admittedly....but the most I've seen it sold for....kind regards....Rob

SUPERB!......loved every minute of that. That Little Ann acapella is mind blowing! Been fortunate to listen to a few of gillys tales.... He's a very engaging fellow, a nice chap indeed......massive thank you to all involved, I really enjoyed listening....knd regards....Rob

They sound amazing.....put the kids singing harmonys against them and they would be lost....it's lovely to see..even if your not a soul nut, as we all are...they sound very very good....good luck to them...I hope they get a contract, tour and earn the money they deserve!!!.....made me smile that there new, never heard of by the judges...it's lovely because we know don't we😀.....kind regards....Rob

I've never heard of it...thank you for that.....another room at soul do,s....I do wonder where it will all end....folk, soul, funk, blues, reggae, ska, mod room..(sorry if I've missed a genre)...oh well, I roll with anything...probably progression within the scene and just me.....kind regards....Rob.

Ha-ha. we moan when they sell for to much and moan when they sell for to cheap...there's no keeping us lot happy!!...to be fair I agree with chalky....very cheap purchase...it's rare as hens teeth!!!!....thank you....Rob

To the best of my knowledge....the cresa Watson version is super rare...3 or 4 copies....will leave it to you obsessed lot to put me straight.....kind regard....Rob

Up to £89! A fool and his money. I spotted this the other day and his 50% feedback. leave well alone. What a tosser.........kind regards....Rob

Thank you for posting play lists...I love reading them and know less than half of the records!!! right then......onto you tube for a listen......thank you....Rob

Wow...3 versions for sale of this at the minute....two on the good time label, one jm,s the other tb,s......both auction pieces....I have to say I've never seen this version Pete has for sale...gotta be the rarest version...l'm not on commission or kissing ass, just stating a fact....great stuff..kind regards...Rob

Ha-ha.....I wonder as well......Rob
