Some nice stuff here Cliff the johnny robinson is a big fav in our house -due to the incredible flip side -i reckon as years go by this will be a real collectors piece,Im sure that I paid more than sixty for my Johnson Family also,looks like a few bargains to be had here folks!!! BAZ A

sold 3 on here six months ago for 25 quid each,well still got a few -nowt surprises me anymore -happy to sell my 2 remaining ones for25each just pm me if anyone wants one- !!!! BAZ A PS MOVING HOUSE SO NO SALES ARE GOING IN THE SALES SECTION TILL MID JAN!!!

Most admitt I done really well in some of the gospel shops in Jacksonville /Tampa but that was 92,i had a really good tip for a guy in dontown Orlando also but when i turned up it was more than risky -so i let it be!!! found some really nice stuff in the spanish quarter of Miami but was well escorted with a local who knew the score -if memory serves me right -i found some nice rarish 45s in a shop which adjoined a barbers shop-was all a bit weired buit got some nice gordy promos etc!! Good memories -id be highly surprised if there was any happy hunting now? BAZ A

the eddie ray track really is a little gem-someone get it its a tremendous slice of late sixties crossover-tipped this a while back spun it at Burnley it was so well recieved-great record that will have its day imo. BAZ A

id say congratulations on securing a dj set at a soul do you are now part of a very small elite crowd of 24000 soulies who have had similar experiences!!! good luck BAZ A

CRACKING JOB ALSO MATE -MUCH APPRECIATED!!! BAZ A I'm here just to serve.

lol reckon youve crac ked it there bob,cant acess much stuff at the momment due to records and dust lol, and the fact that im packing cases to move house - !!! now whcih discography do i need next perhaps all of chess BAZ A baz, i know your secret plan is to ask for a discography and have jaco post the contents of the R&B indies book a piece at a time so you don't have to buy it

well worth the money but certainly not getting any cheaper !! Essential imo!! BAZ A

thanks again jaco another batch for my folders lol,whats your view on the other Drive design showed above?? BAZ A

ABSOLUTELY LOVE HEP ME SOME INCREDIBLE STUFF ON THE LOGO -DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE OTHER -VERY WILLING TO LEARN HOWEVER -LOVE MOST STUFF FROM NEW ORLEANS !!! BAZ A The Hep'Me / Light House recordings were from New Orleans it seems:

you got me thinking now -i know the prolifics recorded on hep me and lady house and were essentialy a funk out fit,this drive logo -looks like a small obscure logo-wonder if bobo could confirm!! BAZ A Is this the same Prolifics / Drive label, as the label design / numbering are different?

Thanks Edwin certainly having fun on some of these got some handy drive tips etc!!! atbm BAZ A Hi Baz, There's a version of Johnny K.Killens "don't need help"(deep city) on drive,by the ???can never remember if it's the profiles or prolifics...Boba knows,as he's corrected me before. Brilliant version(got put onto this by Chris Ashby)...been after one for years. This might tie up with the Johnny K outings on drive. If anyone's got one for sale let me know Best Edwin
