So very very sad R.I.P buddy...

I don't really mind, mainly because I won't be able to hear it anyway

Agree with Sepias valuation of Emanuel Laskey, As I got one for £200 last year, but only paid £40 for the 4th day version so the ebay price is surprising...

Totally agree, love the guys repertoire, surely there must be someone who could persuade him to come across and take the belated but well deserved plaudits....

Pete for my "15 minutes of fame" (so to speak as a perspective "record dealer") I actually found 7 copies of Reparata and the Delrons- Panic on UK Bell (if my memory serves me right) in the back of a toy shop called Hurleys in Pontypridd,back in the 70's amongst other things......looking back I wish I'd bought the toys....

Sad indeed, would have loved to have had an opportunity to witness a Deon Jackson performance, but there seems little chance of that happening by the seem of it

Sentiments echoed, I sincerely hope his strength is as great as his personality which was so evident during the Fabulous Peps performance at NCS. Speedy recovery Steve......

Good on ya mate,and as they say "action speaks louder than words" ......Get well soon...

Must concur,along with H-D-H, and Wylie/Hestor,Pied Piper.....but there again I'm talking personal from a collecting perspective....... for starters .

If the lady displaying the discs comes as part of the deal, I'd say that is an absolute giveaway

Johhnnie Mae Matthews-I have no choice ......new era?

Thanx for all the pm's and offers, have now acquired all apart from a MINT Ric-Tic 109x and 143, am still desperately looking for issues 5 & 8 of the Detroit City Limits magazine. Cheers wilxy

Great record, got one about 6 months ago through this site actually, but paid a bit more than Harry tho', the Hesitations mentioned is also a a good take on the backing, with a superb flip too

Keep up the sterling work Mike, it's very much appreciated ........by so many

Has anyone got the following Ric-Tic items I need to complete the "run", all must be minimum mint-/ excellent condition, and either issue or demo Ric-Tic- 100-Gino Washington-Gino is a coward Ric-Tic-109x- Edwin Starr-Scotts on swingers Ric-Tic-134-Fantastic Four-As long as the feeling is there Ric-Tic-135-Detroit Emeralds-Show time Ric-Tic-143-Flaming Embers-Children Also looking for the following fanzines (good quality photocopies would suffice) Detroit City Limits, numbers 5 and 8, also don't recall whether there were any issues after # 10 but would also want these if there were. Please pm me with details thanx wilxy

Now sorted, thanx

As I am only one Golden World title short of a complete run, could anyone enlighten me to what in fact Dickie & the Ebb tides-One boy one girl- Golden World#45 is actually like, as I can't honestly say I've ever heard it, and what would a copy cost? (I fear the worse as to how it sounds but hope I'm wrong) Thanx in advance wilxy

With the amount of titles made available via the massive Motown catalogue, many artists/artistes from outside of the Hitsville USA fold covered a variety of material such as Sandy Wynns-Touch of Venus (Marvin Gaye), and Alice Clarke-You hit me (right where it hurts me)-(Kim Weston), and whilst some were better than the original such as the Sandy Wynns (IMHO) it's debatable which out of the latter (Clarke/Weston) you'd prefer? Those two examples just scrape the surface of the numerous items given the treatment outside of the motor city,and whilst "several" would gain the "reverance " of the Nortern Soul fraternity, commercially the bulk of covers would gain release status only as its limited prize......

Has anyone got a copy of either/or both of the following for sale please? Al Gardner-Sweet baby-Googa Mooga (or Sepia ) Silky Hargreaves-Keep on loving me-Dearborn Please pm details......Thanx in advance wilxy

Talking about Al Gardner, how much is the Sepia release going for, and similarly how much for the French Googa-Mooga issue.....and are there any about for sale???

Great tunes, both of them......

I'm not really bothered about the start time as long as the all-nighter is worth the trip

Detroit Soul pack sold, Al Gardner sold, the rest still for sale/trade/open to offers....

Spot on.......absolute Quality magazine
