The City Never S

Brought three singles and one cd from the store. Pleased with the service and records, that has to be the quickest in the business. Thanks. Martyn

No problem.

Mark Got one of these if you still want it. Last time I had it out, condition was excellent. Is fifty okay? I’ll look for it later today. Martyn

Joe Afyernoon. Have you still got the Popcorn Wylie, is so can you keep? Will send payment tonight. Martyn

Martin Just checked it, condition excellent. Very minor storage marks. Can send you pics on fb messenger if required? I want £40 for it, money back guarantee. Let me know. Martyn

I’ve got one if you want, i’ll dig it out and check exact condition. Think it’s excellent and advise. Martyn

Mark i’m Interested in the Moonlighters, have you still got it? Martyn

Posted the one above by accident. The Nankie publishing on the Celebrities label shot, also appears on one of the Four Hollidays record’s on the Markie label out of Chicago, although the Four Hollidays emanated from Detroit. Looking at the Tony Daniels on Sport, also appears as Gordon Berry and Motortown orchestra or whatever, is a take on Berry Gordy.

Frank Brown the owner of Valtone, his son is Val. Valerie? Which is where we get the Val from. Also the label Be-Val, of Tony Daniels “I won’t cry”. There are a no of Boss labels. The one owned by Frank Brown of Valtone, is the one with the Celebrities on. The other Boss label was part of the Sport/ Sir-rah group of labels, and as far as I know no relation. But maybe they later brought the name off Frank. There was i’m sure another Boss label, again unrelated? Joey petite on?

Some good in everything bad, far better record for me than The one alone. Quality over rarity i’m afraid. On the other FA release Joe Mathews is credited as lead vocalist. The Joe L blues record is part of the Frank Brown label setup.

Hi Steve I’ve got a Jack Reynolds on a light green Mah’s, in decent nick. Are you still looking for Cody Black on Wheelsville? Got one of those two, best looking copy i’ve seen. Which is not very often. Martyn

Just heard about this. Very sad news indeed. Known John for a while, he always seemed cheerful and pleased to see you. He was very well respected, and very well liked on the Soul scene. And i’m sure he will be missed by all who knew him. Memories of his wit and outlook on life. Thoughts are with his wife Barbara and family. R.I.P. JOHN

Chris King supposed to have brought tons of blank Virtue studio discs on one of his visits to the studio, dollar a piece? Can’t remember the exact details now. And there were a lot of them too. Regarding the mainly orange issues of virtue things that came out mid 70’s, these were all legal in a deal involving John Anderson and Virtue studios to cater for the demand from the Uk Northern scene. Got this information from John Anderson himself, and also included the unissued instrumental like ’Puttin’ you on’, and ‘Detroit City soul’.

Roger can you please keep the Esther Grant, Big Maybelle ep, and the Westbound abe record please? Will sort you out tonight Thanks Martyn
