Tricky

Trouble is the Johnnie Brown was quite obscure and hard to get hold of. Plenty of sellers have it but paid a highish price for them looking at how high priced they are and how many are now stuck in dealers hands. So hardly a secret if you’re eyes are open. Sorry this isn’t meant as a dig by the way.

Thanks Nick I noticed that other Thelma/Ge Ge records were ZTSC but this was the first stamped vinyl copy I had noticed.

Am I going mental or is this an oddity? Was playing a stack off me Detroit shelves Saturday night when I noticed this. Emanuel Lasky, Welfare cheese / crazy on Thelma is Vinyl but has a ZTSC stamp. Anyone noticed or own any others. Trev

Is it just me!!! I have always thought this was misidentified. Sounds like another unissued Deon Jackson track to these ears. What are your knowledgeable opinions?

PM sent.

I deffo feel safer with PayPal than I ever would with EBay. I am the same as others.Occasionally buy but stop selling end of this month.

Perhaps the bonus of this will be tunes to view and buy at venues again.

My GSF theories for what they are worth!!! 6896 Skullsnaps - White and issue demos only.Could if released have had I’m your Pimp on flip. 6914 Anderson brothers - Demo only. Dodgy scans won’t convince me this was issued after all these years. 6916 Connie Laverne - Demo only. Last release on label. 6915 Joe Quarterman - This was issued so hope springs eternal perhaps that there actually are issues of the releases either side.

I thought Ebay had upped their take. Now confirmed. Although it’s basically same end result they are still robbing gits. Bloody robbery including postage into fees.

Doo Wop was really only ever a US thing. Soul in all its forms is Worldwide now. US collectors are no longer a minority and so much stuff plundered by us is heading back there.That is without everywhere else’s interest. I thought lockdown,furlow etc would curtail buying but in my experience nothing could be further from the truth. At the moment I am mainly selling spares and doubles but I do think about a more comfortable retirement occasionally.

John What a great night at the cinema and 100 club it was. Cant believe how quick the time has gone. Trev

Bloody hell thanks for that last sold tip. How have I missed that

Chipping in to buy an old wreck of a van to legally as opposed to going in a nicked car to various all nighters. Invariably broke down and with no license or insurance just as illegal.

How about a recent piece of played in lockdown pap. That Jody’s got married pile of pop turd.

Could the Rouser copy for sale at the Fleet have been Adam Buchannans? Sure I saw him selling it there!

What about the Canadian release? Never seen or heard of that before.

F%@# me that’s bad. Vanity records! What makes people think they can sing! Could be an idea for a new thread.

Quite hard to find on BSC but came out retitled as snowflakes on Thomas.

Got mine from Manship.He didn’t do any of that scratching out malarkey that John did at the time.Sure it was a new release.

Yes greatly missed is Rug. Had a few spots at St Ives along with Wilksy! Rugs tunes at the Vic in Rushden at this time included Lester Tipton,Montclair’s,Virginia Blakeley,Pamela Beaty,Limitations and a cheapie that I have loved ever since and occasionally play out Gaye and Terrell What you gave me on Tamla.Well ahead of the curve.

This was a great time for us Northant’s crowd. St ives, Peterbough and Central Hall Kettering where I distinctly remember car wash getting new release plays.Some great times had and some groundbreaking collections in the area as well.We all know now it weren’t all up t’north
