Ok here's the true story behind this i know because it was me who found it it was found in rob smiths shop in nottingham in 1980 by myself , i used to work for him and got first nibs on anything new that came in . a guy from nottingham called mike gordon who used to collect anything from l.a. sold this along with every mirwood release on demo and issue plus a shed load of other l.a based labels . it was me who covered it up then rob decided not to sell it to me . he played it out around the nottingham area for a couple of years before eventually selling it to guy with some other stuff in 1983. i eventually brought it of guy a couple of years later, then sold it on to tony clayton in 1987. current value around the £500 mark id say , you never see it for sale .loads of other releases by rod keith on the label mostly gospel type

Hi Ady as stated before not been since young brett d.jed but always loved the 100 club, my thoughts are bring back the membership . the townies although they make up numbers and finance the night are generally ignorant ,they get in your face when you danc and wind you up, ask trickster ! my other surggestion is run bi monthly and knock a couple of quid of addmission every little helps lol no seriously i think if you reduce addmission by couple of quid you'd be suprised of the results . under cut the opposition . long may you continue. regards steve phillis

Well it's finally happened ebay gone totally mad a french guy's got a destiny demo of the delites " lover " starting bid $250 buy it now $ 2000 please tell me this is a joke

nice to see folks having a go seems to be a few catching you out though especially this one , yes it was an acetate at the time i brought it of keb but it does exsist on vinyl

looks like the plots beeen lost here you slag new sounds of you dont give the time of day to listen too then you dont want to hear them at nighters well iv'e been on the scene 36 years this year and as far as i can remember new records have always been played in the main room at every nighter iv'e ever been too the new sounds of today are the oldies of tomorrow , i know you won't agree example mello souls been round since 85 great record just being accepted by the oldies crowd

This is the greatest ever soul vocal to be put to vinyl imho it was the first record my wife and i danced to at our wedding two years ago i have a autographed copy of pyramid by george that the wife brought me as an engagement present , hope you get well soon george steve

wrong label,??? https://cgi.ebay.com/...=item53df1d9455

earl gaines great artist cut a storming track on hbr records "you belong to me" thought to be a album track only but nottinghams rob smith has the uptempo version on 45

temps track awesome had it since the you got to earn it c.d came out loads of quality unissued motown could be played and in the past has ,you'd think the powers that be at motown would have cottened on by now and released some of the tracks as double sided limited edition collectors items

top notch detroit soul one of my all time favourites remember when sam first played it hairs on back of neck stood up

if memory serves me correct wasn't mr levine the first to play a shrine record at the mecca that being the d.c.blossoms

hey kev didnt you find the blue jays point of view ? seem to remember you having afew copies at colony records

tommy ridgely was played by johnathan woodliffe in 78-79 at notts palias monday nite sessions covered as johnny robinson i think if memory serves me correct

fist cpy or the cairos came to me trough gary rushbrooke he got it from tim ashibende as a potential unknown but chose ty karim just dont know this was summer of 78 i paid £15 for it and covered it as the precisions i sold the cairos to keb at stafford in 85

The scene could be around for decades to come ,but only if the majority of venues i e oldies nights gave younger blood a chance . ie on the dance floor d.jing etc most seem to shun them and think theyer takin the p..s , we were all young once . also get rid of the baggy trouses and beer towels they dont know how daft he look to the younger generation

yet another big ticket sound on ebay Walter Wilson love keeps me crying originally played by mr darge then butch who also as the inst this is the 4th know copy what you recken this will go for awesome uptempo soul of the highest order

if a beat up copy like this sold for this stupid amount then the next decent copy to turn up the sellers gonna want triple the amount this went for when are us uk soulies gonna learn were being ripped off big time in my opinion with the amount of so called rare items thats turned up this year alone the people stateside are taken us for a ride big time no offence to our stateside soulie friends but what was once rare seems to be turning up in numbers

hey mate you and anyone else with decent taste in soul music top sound never see it for sale see ya burton tomoz nite been after this for 4 years

originally played by jim wensoria back in 85-86 covered as the venturas awesome sound and some brought mine at the time miss it at your peril

dont you just love people like this? they throw a shed load of talc down ,dance to half a record max, then sod off to another part of the dance floor and do exactly the same. by the end of the nite you can do the bolero without movin a foot

got a mobil number for rob if thats any help as stated you will need a couple of days at least nothings in order anymore not like when i worked for him in the 80's good hunting had loads of great tunes from him over the years pm me if you want his mobil number
