Had many good trips really nothing compared to the magnitude discussed above.IN 1989 had a number of really good finds in Hamilton Canada including the soul communicators on fee bee,volumes same old feeling on impact,loads of king and atco promos,couple of just loving you etc! Florida three years later visited a barbers shop of all places near the latin quarter and brought back another 200 singles,records like the temps couldnt cry if i wanted to and some nice whie ric tic demos! Always done quite well in Pilly mainly at the flea markets and with john moore before the price quides hit the us market ! I must say its a big country[THE OBVIOUS PLACES HAVE BEEN RIFFLED HOWEVER] whereever you go its better to say your a collector,again highlighted last year when me and Gaz Simons went to San Antonio and picked up loads of seventies stuff,he vetted us completely and we had to convince him there were going into collections not back on the market! Someone should write a book on the experiences behind these stories cos as you know it can get a bit hairy lol! BAZ A
