Here's my original post above, this is so ironic 😇 just watched postman on ring doorbell delivering 2 more 45s.. thinking of selling as new ones drop through the letter box.. think I need help🤣🤣✊️

A big thank you to Tim. I think I have made a decision.. I know I have pensions but not for a few years... but if my health problems escalate and and can't work then if money is tight then I might have to sell them , like you said I can't take take other assets ie house, pensions etc with me and although I have some records that I could never buy now at current prices. Things like my Tomangoes, Mac Staten, Alfie Davison and King Tutt 12" mean so much I will never sell . And Tim I see your favourite is the velvet satins..just sharing, i bought my velvet satins as a 15 year old schoolboy along with Ellusions in 1980 with all my Christmas money and pocket money I had saved up💰 should have bought more. A really really big thank you for what you said 😊 ✊️✊️

Thank you Tim, I'm more confused than ever 😆.. I have only bought records I love alot of them from you at oddfellows 😁😁like you say we never bought them as an investment. That's what my pensions were for. This is going to be a hard and long decisive thing to do.. from my very first record J D Martin and my last the other ones the two of us... It is going to be a hard thing to sort out..

I keep reading this. 90 % of my records were bought in the late 70s upto 88 when I bought a house then got married. Most expensive was my Tomangoes. Got back into the scene in 2012 . Then bought things I could afford and didn't find 1st time around but nothing more than 2 or 3 hundred. Your reply is amazing in many ways.. my son went to niters with me for 12 years and is aware of values.. I think I have to spend some time thinking of what to do. Thanks for such an amazing and open response ✊️

I know that this has probably been discussed many times. I'm getting to the stage in my life due to my age and health I'm thinking about selling my records as they rarely get played but they mean so much to me. I have a few things that I could never let go but I do have a fair few , do I sell and enjoy the money or keep them. It's such a big dilemma for me. Would like your positive and negative thoughts please..if you have had to do the same

It would have been a Wellington boot about size 5😁. Seriously think it was Billy Prophet what can I do, didn't realise it had been pressed.

I sort of agree, alot of the suggestions to me are blue eyed soul , what I would call Carolina Soul almost beach music. But I'm not being ungrateful for the suggestions but I personally ( my own interpretations ) was trying to get across is garage music almost with a touch of rock music ( yes guitars) which is why I quoted The Seeds and The Innkeepers. And sounds like this that Keb often plays. I know The Nomads, Vondells, Embers etc are blue eyed/carolina soul in my eyes not garage . I trust I haven't upset anyone in this woke society with my personal views

Thank you, that is why I did a search but nothing popped up.. if anyone else can help with a link I would appreciate it.

If this has been done before I apologise as I did do a search before posting this.. As our scene has crossed paths with many different music genres from r&b, Latin soul, beach music etc.. How much of it has come from the Garage scene? I know we had the seeds pushing too hard and gypsy drywell, innkeepers never should have done it.. Forest fire on main street, covered as lord Sitar and the Baltimore marching band.. I know Keb used to slip one or two in but my memory isn't what it was 🥲 So would appreciate any help Mick

Only one word... WOW. Hopefully this won't bore anyone reading this, my Dad was born 1918 and having been conscripted in the 2nd world war as a Military Police Man he landed in Normandy on June 7th, D DAY plus one. He spent the next 4 years in Europe and because of what he saw and did he said so very little. If it wasn't for my Mother I wouldn't have known that he was one of the people who liberated Belson Bergen. But of the the few things he told me, lol like guarding a distillery of Calvados in France.. I always remember him describing seeing coloured lights in the sky (don't know where in Europe he was at the time) But he and his friends were dumbstruck as they had no idea what they were seeing, they even thought they were something Hitler had invented.!!!! Although now with Internet etc we all know about the northern lights...

Finding all of this really interesting, thanks for posting. Learning new stuff every day. Have an old celestrion astromaster to look at moon and planets but really interesting about the Sun especially the size of it , it's almost hard to comprehend.. thanks again

Thanks for putting this up, I'd forgotten I have it currently listening to it now
