Now that would be a trophy 45 to whip out at an allnighter...

Perhaps a select few know that we crave to know?!

People camping outside the Melton Mowbray Head Office in a tent drinking hot chocolate...

How insane is that!?

Jade - The Siesta Is Over - New Century VG++ £70 (bit of label wear - plays fine) SOLD Nurons & Co - Disco Hustle - Stage Art EX £60 (great hard funk dancer with pounding beat b/w crossover flip - rare) King Earnest - You Gonna Miss Me / Soul Stroke - Sonic M- £200 (raw funky soul uptempo banger, both sides)

Just seen Gareth's post - so mine was obsolete.

Heard Butch spin this a few times recently - may account for the current large sum it's attracting - lots of interest on it I imagine as it's an oldie that is also good for those who like the newer funk infused sounds...?

Gerri Hall on UK Sue?!!! :)

What about Don Varner on Veep (supposedly)? Or a similar mega rare supposed issue of something? Steve sounds right but as we know there are a few copies the SG? Surely if it's the 'world's rarest' it must be a one known copy job?

Was surprised how mucht his went for on ebay - thought it had fallen out of favour recently? Great record both sides.

If anyone is gonna snag 'em it'll be this man!

The Jackie Mitoo is a great Hammond record. Did it get a 45 release?

ps. Could this copy be described as Mint Plus???

I really hope it is real for the finder - what a result of epic proportions. Talk about karma - they must of been a nun in a former life! Well done sir

Fair play Phil - and I do agree - criticism must be heard where due. Lucky you weren't at the do we did once a few years back when both decks broke and the bar staff didn't turn up till gone 11pm. I had to crouch beside a radiator in a corner to hide my blushes! Best! J

Think Steve has a copy for sale Paul.

You are indeed entitled to your opinion and so is Frankie Crocker, and you both make some valid points - of course constructive criticism should be heard on any level. What I would say is that in any level of club promotion (online and offline) people have their own agendas, and to pretend that you are the voice of unbiased reason 'telling it like it is' is not entirely true. You and a few of your pals on here have a clear agenda to sell your own involvement and legacy on the scene as perhaps more than it is or was. For example everytime you post you mention yourself or your club night - which of course you have the right to do - but ulimately it undermines any valid point you make, as every comment ends up looking like just another antagonising post to serve your own purpose. That's just my constructive criticism of the situation as I see it unfolding in this (and many other) threads on this website.

Nice rarities Steve - another great mix

Issue on ebay buy it now - been there for ages.

I'm f*cked - i'm ady lupton's apprentice....!!!

Always thought Hank Jacobs 'So Far Away' is a classic (albeit not strictly northern) 45 that speaks volumes without words.

Flip of this (Bird Walkin) is brilliant

When they are great they are really great imho. Voicemasters acetate, Kinettes, Exus Trek...the Detroit one that used to be played at the Capitol. Amazing records. The idea that a record has to have lyrics to be soulful suggests a misunderstanding of the music.

Keith deffo has one and plays at the 100. Sounds great imho.

'Grandad...what was it like during the war??'
