Ok, my last word on it. A few years ago several of us spoke to Eugene, he had copies of all his stuff he sold the other one for about $600+, this one he sold at $40 each I had a few and took ages to sell them and sold them for very little. Now times change, taste change so maybe some people now want it and are ready to buy at £200+, fine their choice. But to me compaired to the other track it's average and if I found a bunch I'd still sell it low. As for non on Popsike, etc, I have boxes of records, that have never sold on the webb as far as I can see, does that mean they are worth £££, non of it.

That was an auction, and it got no bids at that price

Pete, snap thier hand off and think no more of it. If I'm wrong then you've got what the market is willing to pay, if I'm right, well done mate. Either way you asked for some help and advice and to the best of my knowledge I gave you what I could, but no one knows everything.

Recorded the show, some nice crossover, funk, ballads and even a sprinkling of gospel/soul This sunday 'Soul People' Solar Radio 10am-12am Sky Digital Channel 0129 or live on the web https://www.solarradio.com/soulpeople.aspx Hope some of you will be able to listen in, will also be on here live through the show for those wanting to chat.

I have some of those posters somewhere along with most of the hand made Stafford ones, trouble is they've been back away years, wouldn't even know where to start looking

I found it very acceptable

Why go to all the trouble of buying that bit of kit, there is an App that you can down load to you iphone or ipad that give you two turn tables, mixer, crossfading and a whole bunch more....

I ran the Wheelwrights, Just before I started running Stafford, Richard Sealing, Gary Rushbrook, Dave Withers, Ian Clark, Dave Greet all DJ'd there along with me and Ady Pountain as residents. Used to run them once a month, once Stafford really took off I stopped them and Pete French started them again (as he always does). Had some real packers there, over 300 one night in a venue that was only supposed to hold 200. Good fun nights !!!

I'm sure that Stuart went on DJing a little after his brother. Also pretty sure he did the main room a few times also.

Just for fun added this new slideshow with some great photo's of the girls live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8_XOoTqs5U
