I have Candi Staton 'Upper Hand' on one of those 70's acetates, had it years. Worth anything?

Re- Traditions, I think it went for about £220 or something? Well, that's what it was on last time I looked. Are they a blue-eyed group?

I don't think 'she' was too bright, the lyrics go... "someone copied your homework but you did it wrong girl"

Doni Burdick sounds more 1967 than 1970?

I see John was auctioning The Traditions 'My Life With You' (Bar-Clay) a couple of weeks back, how much did that go for? A great record which I paid about £10 for, always loved it. Blue-eyed group?

desperate to get it in their box Ooh er missus. ...I'll get me coat

I agree Pete, for me, the Desmond Riley 'Skinhead...' 45 is terrible, probably my least favourite out of that 10, Mike De Koningh loves it though! The Mohawks ain't much better either. I do like the Cimarons cookin' sound on some of the Hot Rod 45's, and as you say, Dandy's backing group The Rudies/Music Doctors are a great band. My real top 10 would consist of Prince Buster, Uniques, Bob Andy etc.

1. Skinhead Speaks His Mind - Hot Rod All Stars (Hot Rod) 2. Skinhead Revolt - Joe's All Stars (Joe) 3. Skinhead Train - Laurel Aitken (Nu-Beat) 4. Skinhead Moondust - Hot Rod All Stars (Torpedo) 5. Skinhead Train - The Charmers (Explosion) 6. Skinhead A Bash Them - Claudette (Grape) 7. Skinhead A Message To You - Desmond Riley (Downtown) 8. Skinheads Are Wrecking The Town - ? (Ackee blank) 9. Skinhead Invasion (Apollo 12) - Laurel Aitken (Nu Beat blank) 10.Skinhead Shuffle - The Mohawks (Pama) Not really my top ten, but I am a fan of late 60's/early 70's UK recorded Reggae especially the Cimarons stuff. I do have all the above on original 45's (bought them when nobody wanted them) and some are very tough to find. Not everyone's cup of tea, but for novelty/nostalgia value, lovely!

The Jaggerz (Gamble 4008)

Diggin' the Beatle style mop top!

I'd be interested in the Ethiopians but I have none of your listed items. I do have many other soul 45's so is there anything else you're after?

If you're desperate I have a 'fair' copy that is similar to this picture, plays with crackle and has label wear. Does NOT jump. £15 all in.

Is the Chapter Five release on 'Goldmine Sevens' 'You Can't Mean It / One In A Million' worth anything nowadays? I guess it's regarded as a 2nd/re-issue UK press?

It's not surprising you found a few of these in a charity shop, I remember finding a bunch of mint copies of Robie Porter (all in pic sleeves) at a local car boot ... Believe it or not by looking at the picture It is actually a great tune with a fabulous break that is 100% Northern Soul!!

I have a 'Leather Boy' MGM 45 picture sleeve but I'm pretty sure mine is a different record than the one you've found. It's an instrumental on one side called 'Soulin' and is a kind of pop/soul tune that could have been played at Wigan or somewhere. EDIT: Found it...

£20(ish) is ok, it is a hard boot to get and I got offered £30 for my copy a few years ago. I must admit, I do collect the harder 70's boots like Eddie Parker 'I'm Gone', Lenny Curtis (this copy came in a proper 'End' sleeve!) etc and have a small box full just for a bit of NS nostalgia!!

If you don't get offered a copy I have one on Epic that has a slight noise at the start. Let me know and I'll dig it out later and give it a spin to see if it's ok.

I see the price/bidding has been reduced dramatically since this thread.

...or boot?

So this is a 2nd issue / re-issue then?

If you have a grey 70's boot it's a collectable item and fairly hard to get. If you don't want it stick it on ebay and you may get a nice little amount of cash for it.

...of 'Salvation' fame. This is she?...

Ah yes, I do recall such a group now I come to think of it.

???? Is this THE (Motown) Supremes? Interesting...

Also on that Sounds Superb album are these Northern corkers.. You're Gone Lovers Concerto Losing You Should be able to get it cheaper than that ebay link. Try Gemm or Musicstack Pete.
