Drew ,Mi Amigo , Sangria all Gone , its the cooking Jerez {Sherry } now .Only food and essential supplies ,the Guardia Civil have Fined /Arrested 650,000 none necessary people breaking Lockdown Rules!!! Best of Luck with your Search ,Stay Safe !. LOL ,Cheers John

Hi Drew ,How are You? Almost a month in lockdown ,stir crazy ,turned me into an amateur slueth! Re discogs etc, use the search bar at top of every page' input u: then Avatar ,alias ,Nonde plume ,Silly name ,Dealer /Seller name.,to locate your mark. Privacy prevents me revealing all ,but person has 100% feedback and last activity 2nd april 2020. Message to such sellers can be ignored an it is not possible to check etc. In desperation you can press "Buy Now" and seller usually responds ,if not Discogs will issue "seller not responding " warning to the miscreant,this usually gets a response? You are not obliged to buy the item. Under Sale of goods act, buying On line Unseen you are allowed a 14 day "cooling off "to change your mind. Further clues Fenton' is a district of Stoke On Trent, not South Wales? Finally , not all sellers are Pro Dealers ,so patience and consideration should be given to circumstances {particularly Now!} Cheers ,Enjoyed that ! Best Regards .LOL ,Be Safe. John Hart ,Malaga , Spain.

Chico ,My Memory,, Portugal Weekender ,Last October; Just finished my Motown Spot, Decks perched on a 50 foot balcony! Next D.J. sidled up , "Would You like a big Intro, " I humbly suggested??

Methinks,, no chance a 50 pencer? Wow ! the whole Balcony and pool area exploded! ,Everyone bopping about,,,next a Chill out 70,s Impressions LP track,,,this guy,s got Something! After he finished, he came over to a disconsolate Newboy ,{Chico had been supporting Algarve weekenders from there humble beginings to present Mega Status.!} and coplimented me on a good set. Now I know,, What A thoroughly Nice Guy !. My condolences to his family; Johnny ,Malaga, Spain. P.S. Just ordered ,Philly All Stars off discogs ,Fantastico!

Big Thumbs Up ,much appreciated guys!! Format worked well ;each track was identified for duration of track ,live on line comments could be made, NoDJ banter ,first i thought this was a minus ,but No, the non interuption of tracks added to the pace and atmosphere. From an Ex Pat fed on a diet of oldies ,it gave me a chance to here cutting edge All niter sounds ,Djs Bob Hinsleys ,and Mick howards playlists where superb. I felt they played to the dancefloor ,where else would you here Isleys "Sure is a Lotta Woman " 200mph ,stormer.

Great Little Read; Loved the ,Most comprehensive listing of recreational drugs ever ,I missed a few ? Pages Of Record listings of popular sounds from my youth , { Pacific Gas and Electric " Are You Ready " forgotten also ran , Magic!} ..Covers the 70s mainly ,but Stephen does get up to date, his Views on the O.V.O . Mob,,,absolutely spot on ! The Truth Hurts ? " To repeat myself ," The Follies Of Our Youth are in Retrospect Glorious,, Compared to the Follies of Old Age ! " RIP Terry Jones . Highly recommended Book on the Northern Scene ! Stephen Riley ; Artist ,Lecturer, writer ,Presenter ,Painter, Photographer and like you and me and thousand of others,,," We where the Scene , the Drugs, the Bootlegged records, the dancing ,the Crazy fashions ,the Travel, the aggresion ,the Togetherness ,and as uncomfortable as that may seem now ,,it is the Truth !!

Hi ,Shufflin,Frankie Crocker {Deceased ],Sir Cumferance ,foreskin??. Why The silly Names??? Are you Real , The Plastic is unimportant , except to you DINKY TOY collectors. There are more important things in life !! , My post was meant as a light Hearted observation , you people need Help Phsycollogically . Cheers , John hart ,

The storage warp seems to be an ever increasing problem to aged 45,s/Lps ,followed by the optimistic NAP? Finally after buying a Jimmy Elledge " Cant stop a Man"with a 10cm warp from horizontal Nap,, ,actually played with double tone arm weight increase on friends deck ,not mine ,decided to follow the multitude of Ebay vids ,and go for the "Bake Off Method"' As per vids try it on Cheapo disc first ,Had a Ashford Simpson Wb " Handkerchief " .Preheat Elec oven to 175 f ,insert disc between 2 sheets of Glass for 3 minutes,remove apply massive wait an allow to cool ,result Nada . !! As per Paul Hollywood increase baking time ,tried it with Green ,Oz Stateside 4Tops " Lonely",{ value £6.50 } after 4 minutes, a perfect piecrust edge warp around 360 degrees, Sandy Toksvig and Prue would have loved ,disaster! Not having any sense of Thermo Dynamic Heat ,had learned a lesson ,different thickness /dimensions of plastic {vinyl is a No ,No }, different plastics behave without uniformity ! Stick with the bucking Bronco cartridge effect, If it aint broke ,Leave it alone ,Ps ,Jimmy is unmolested ,the kind dealer agreed a refund cost me £20 ,Soundbird lable is adorable despite the Quasimodo Effect LOL Cheers ,John ,Malaga,Spain.

Hi Guys, Just seen this UK Polydor 56114 on Rare Northern Soul .Com.Listed as the rarest Polydor /Uk soul record ever!! The blurb continues " A Full On Wall of Sound Stomper, etc,etc. { they erroneously title it ," Little Children" , ditto other Motown efforts are credited to BArry Gordy and Ivory Joe ??} This is the Mike Cotton, Lucas ? and listed in Manships Uk First guide as at £20 , after 20 years it has risen to £2,000. by the year 2040 will it be £200,000 ? It is actually a mediocre Ashford Simpson Song as done by Mary Love on Modern . This is a UK production in the tortured style of those mid 60,s uk soul shouters /screamers, attempt at the sock it to me soul of Wilson picket etc. As a fully Recovered Brit lable Popaholic collector ,this is Baad!!! Your thoughts Please. Cheers ,John. PS . Dont be sad RNS,No such thing as Bad Publicity ,every diehard Brit lable Fanatic will be rushing to your site !! be

Hi Mike Kuklenko, {Soul Man/Boy} As a Motown 45 Nut ,No there is no resource for the readily available in other formats elsewhere discs you list ,sorry . The Key to all these strange foreign issues ,is the song /Tune .!! " Yester me ,Yester You etc " is a cheapo in any country and a No ,No,, ,but Chuck Jackson " Ain,t No Sun { Since You Been Gone } " on a Brazil Or Argentine issue ,Name your price in 3 figures ,because it only appeared on LP " Arrives " and is a Storming Motown dancer . Ditto ;;,probably a monster tune , " A Taste of Honey " 4 Tops ,Lebanese ,or Dutch £250 ?? Your most desireable ,single possibly,Juniors " Good Rocki,n " ,but this is a later 1968 issue ,not the 1962 issue on tri-Phi { Itself only a $10 disc.} Probably their maybe some Phsycotic collectors out there ,try " Offers Please" on e bay, a job lot? , Sorry to be a Pain in The ass ,Good Luck , Cheers John, Malaga,Spain.

Hi Gareth or Malcolm X, Fantastic Information ,very impressive ,superb .You fail to answer the simple question is a Dalton Boys 2nd issue with scratched matrix ,pressed at Bestway ,,Fully Kosher ,Genuine ,Real Deal , worth $85 I paid from Craig Moerer Records USA, GENUINE ?????? YES or NO ? Answer ?? Many thanks ,Cheers ,Have A great Day LOL John Malaga,Spain,

Hi Rodders , Guilty as Charged , but still unanswered is the fundamental Q.I. Is a machine stamp or hand scratched,, a guarantee of authenticity?{ Thinking of Similar Big lables to Motown; ,CBS ,Okeh ,Columbia etc,, I have a recent copy of Raphael Saadiq "Love That Girl"Columbia with hand scratched matrix looks dodgy, are Originals machine stamped?} Oh for the wisdom of the man in the big Woolly Cardy ,Johnny Manship. Cheers ,John

Hi Campagnolo1,{ I get it , you are a Cyclist ?} My original post : I bought a Straight Logo VIP demo off Graig Moerer Records USA for $85 in June 2019 including ship in Near Mint Condition , Superb item,with fully correct ,hand scratched matrix in run out plus ,"Best ",{The Pressing plant}. After bedtime reading of JM,s Booty Guide . Got a little moist and worried.?? Contacted Craig Moerer ,whom assured me they had, had many Daltons since 1965 ,a mix of hand and machine stamped matrixs, all where Kosher! As a massive Motown guy ,looking at many , discs ,stamped and scratched is the norm ,and as JM says always buy from reputable dealer !!,Would any one here doubt Mr Craig Moerer,s Reputation. ?? Cheers John , Malaga,Spain. y issues stamped or scratched is the norm .
