Aha! was it Hugh McCallum's List Pete (from Southampton I seem to recall)? I bid on it... and lost. Had Tons of great tunes off him though over the years... if that was the list. Tiniest type in the world on an A5 Booklet. Sean

Watch it Bully Boy. I might deliver you my CD by hand... and let you have a bit of Johnny Nelson!

Almost certainly a White Guy. I have another 45 by him on Kresla "The World Keeps On Spinning" which shares the same flip side as the East Coast 45. I think that they were his only two records (3 tracks in total). Anyone confirm? Sean

Certainly takes me back to my youth, Malc & Co. One of the first non Motown records in my collection as a lad. A Real Good Old Fashioned Rave Up from Brooks O'Dell & Jerry Williams. Not a 'pretty' record... but Paul summed it up perfectly. I guess the vibe suited the atmosphere at the time. T'was the one tune that everybody could sing along to. Even those (or especially those) who couldn't sing. Sean

Aha! I appreciate your tailoring the Masterpiece on my behalf. Very impressed. BTW... I got a card through the door this morning from the Postman. Says there's a few bob to pay on an envelope at the Post Office. Could that be it? Either way, I'm sure it will be worth it. Sean PS: I'm emailing my copy to your office tonight....just to make sure you get it ok... ...so if your server's down in the morning... you'll know why!

Marvell Love "Break That Rule" on New World Nice flipside too in "Gotta Have Love". Sean

Don't know about Record Shops, Aitor, or a Vegan Pint, Malc, but can certainly recommend one of my favourite Restaurants, which happens to be in Glasgow. https://www.ubiquitouschip.co.uk/ The Venison Haggis, Neeps & Tatties are superb! An absolute must!

That's why 'respected' is in quotes Dave. You and I obviously have the same impression. Sean

Joe & Richie are big buddies. They both sell 'each others' stock. Spoke to Joe on Richie's Phone... so they are not one and the same person (although you never actually SEE them in the one place at the one time ). Richie is one of the USA's most 'respected' Record dealers. Loves the high life... but a bit of a pain in the ass (IMO). All the Prix estate ended up with them and the Frederick Hymes 45's came from them also. The store in Vegas is all top Dollar. You get the impression he doesn't actually want to sell anything... but he does have some very nice titles. Would be surprised if they've 'ceased operations' online voluntarily though! Sean

Has yours gone out then Steve? Cos I haven't received it! What you done? Sent it out without a track list? Good Idea. And then are you going to publish it on here at a later date? Love it.... but can I have a copy? Pretty Please. Sean

A few nice 'Crossover' tracks from Volt...Well recommended to all...........

Sean

Yes, its a funny one this. Once heard it touted as a £500+ record (or was it a £1,000?). Certainly seems to have depreciated beyond the norm. Sean

Finished mine at 3.00am this morning. Will take a week or so to get 'em burnt and out to ya'll. Gone down the 'Less Than £1,000 Rarities Route' (about 990 squid less). Top drawer stuff so far from the early birds! Sean

Worth mentioning that this is the Garpax mix of the record... but actually rarer than Garpex copy. Bargain! Sean

Great stuff Paul. So good to see a UK Indie putting out quality Soul music. That said, any release by David Sea extremely welcome at my house! Sean

And you are a very wicked person... (but I did have to laugh out loud!)

Love it. Took years to catch on, in comparison to other Motown classics. I played it at the last Prestatyn and was amazed that some of my colleagues had never heard (of) it. Great tune IMO Sean

PMSL

Great stuff Tommy. Enjoyed the clips and it looks super. Look forward to seeing it develop! Sean

The General Gist is Superb mate! Sean

Yeh. Last time I borrow money off an Accountant though. 25% interest, compounded daily, is a bit steep I reckon.

You what? We have coins now?

Yeh... 'looks great' Eddie... but I'd swear he's got the lovely Melissa doing him as fry up in the background! Bull... you need a new stylus Amigo... ... but, as I expected, the music is superb! Sean

Amazing Soul Music played in 'Old Orleans' Gene. I was in the one in Sheffield at the weekend and walked in to the sound of OV Wright "Ace Of Spades", immediately followed by the awesome "Nickel And A Nail". Always my first stop for a quick snack! Probably the best real Soul Night in the region!! Sean
