it doesn't sound like Billy Joe Royal /Yo-Yo (Columbia). but it's the words and music. maybe it's just the repro on the vid?

Chuck’s is like drinking honey with a touch of brandy. Golden and powerful. The Moments is like drinking chocolate. Smooth and rich. Spooky & Sue’s is like drinking champagne with a splash of vodka. Refreshing and tingling. today...Spooky & Sue get my vote.

The Adorables

definately double points. i wonder if there are any others A+A.? uummm.

unless it's already been done to death on a thread before... Female artists (singular) or Female (girl groups). Starting with "A"- your favourite-if you had to choose just one - how many could we list? for the list...Artist and one track. atb ken someone else can can take up the batton and move us to the "B's" when the "A's", etc, dwindle and fade!

not seen Derek Banner mentioned? he replied to this thread in 2016. Derek Banner-Mansfield -Dj-Swan Hotel? By SHEFFSOUL, June 16, 2008 In All About the SOUL

If it helps you...there is one on JM's auction site (ending wednesday 15th) sat at £156.

You would need to know your audience and scene for this one...but given the right venue, etc, etc....

i can't add anything to the provenance already described...but recently i have seen these turn up for sale on an ebay auction starting at £36 and on a reputable seller site for £50. Really? (PAULA 381 -mis-credited track).

brave indeed.

sometimes "i don't answer the exam question" - forgive me if this is the case i this instance...but What, No 45's?: A Selection of Northern Soul Only Out on LP, a collection of two-dozen performances lost in the grooves before Northern DJs brought them to light. Not collectable, but a dozen in one place.

that is a good question Benji. and i don't now know. You are correct. I do think it was about $5,000 in Sept 2017 [£3,800], ( although it did go up and down like a yo-yo in Sept 2017). I can only think that my math got in the way and i multiplied it or something. Either way... you get my drift. 1 BC =[$1] Feb 2011 – April 2011, could have been worth $6.180[£4,707) on 21st Oct 2017.

just as a postcript... Gwen Owens -Just Say You're Wanted ( And Needed ) / Still True To You John Manship (sold) 2007 2017 Diff Assume similar condition £3,516 £4,250 +£734 Savings account invest £3,516 - Savings account withdraw - £4,589 +£1,073 Standard & not adjusting for inflation From 2007 to 2017 the average savings interest rate (crudely) would be 2.07%. It started 2007 at 5.5% and by 2016 was 1.23% I'd sooner have had the record for 10yrs OR i could have saved for 10yrs and bought it last week on JM, and still had change. By comparison though; 1 Bit Coin 2009 2017 (Sept) £20 £746,000 (yup...£746K)

I was in a conversation when JB and The Hightlighters Band cropped up, and i mentioned i'd once heard TLOMG played before at least 1972/74. But was poo-pooed. So i was probably wrong, or maybe it was a one-off? (it being the flip) So i wondered...at which venue was "The Love of My Girl" played most and when? Or doesn't it get out much? maybe someone at Prestatyn 2004 weekender may know- i understand JB was on the bill. cheers

that's a nice moment for those folks...

i do the similar thing as bbrich. i use (un tech i know) access db with A&R, lable, pics, writers, etc. One day i'll migrate it to SQL or some such thing and maybe 'webize it'. Anyhow, should i ever decide to sell, i'd most likely give the db away with the sale of my records.

The Equals, Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys ( or a title close to this) used to play out a lot in Manchester.

The Motown Mansion Auction closed last night at 7pm Detroit time. There were quite a few lots... Lot 0028 1969 BMI Award For Marvin Gaye's "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing". Presented to JOBETE MUSIC Co., Inc in recognition of popularity in Rhythm and Blues Field. Dimensions Unframed: 16" x 12" Sold for $600 Lot 0025 Martha Reeves signed bowling alley ashtray sold for $250 https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/109958_motown-mansion-detroit-history-auction/

Beggin- Timebox My copy has an ex-Radio Caroline DJ (Paul Rusling) signature scribbled on it- to let shipmates know who's copy it was. I guess it diminishes it's value...but a little piece of Pirate Radio history nontheless.
