Following might be of interest Denbo, taken from Soulful Detroit, and indicates two seperate Storm labels: J.J. Jackson and The Jackaels were an L.A. group. THAT J.J. Jackson was June Jackson (West coast), NOT J.J. Jackson from N.Y., who recorded "But It's All Right". I would guess that June Jackson's Storm label was an L.A. label (at least West Coast). It certainly looks like a Southern California label, rather than an East Coast one. And that record was found en masse in Southern California, and was rare in The East. I believe it had NOTHING to do with the Detroit Storm label, which also had a record out by The Chancellors (I have that), also a Detroit group (Storm 503). So, there most likely was a Storm 502, also (which, I believe I've seen before). I don't return to my 45s until November, but I'll put up a scan of The Chancellors. The Chimes were a Girls Group, (not to be confused with Detroit's "Gospel Chimes" on Carmen Murphy's House of Beauty Records. The girls group sounds a bit like early Smokey Robinson, so inferences were made. Detroit's Storm records didn't move to N.Y. It would be interesting to find out who Storm's owners were.

In fairness to the guy he's just trying to earn a living best way he know's how. He is no longer relevant to the current 'scene', and I think that's the answer to your question. He can't sell it to us so he has no choice other than to focus on a wider audience.

I play this out in RnB set and always seems to go down well. Paid £15 for mine few years ago. One just sold on ebay $100.....

Just got this on Checker 1003 but different to soundfile I have been listening to on my computer for the last 18 months. Record has faster vocals and different backing. I'm guessing the soundfile must be an album track..........?

Heard this on JM's site some time ago. My feeling is the price is a reflection of its rarity more than anything else. Soundwise made me think of The Ideals - Gorilla.

Hi Damien Just tried again but still can't get them to work. Nothing happens to cursor when placed over link.

Some interesting titles but can't get soundfiles to work?

I apologise for being neither fluent nor persuasive in my reply. Will try harder next time.

It takes time, effort and money to build a good collection. Have a look at this thread /index.php?showtopic=85807 . Box of 150 records - value £40k and extremely difficult to replace. At a guess bootleg equivalent value say £750 max? Imagine being the owner of such a collection waiting to do your spot but the three fellas djing before you have played most of what you were going to play off pressings or cd's. The discovery of rare records has always been at the hub of this scene. The privelege of playing such records should remain with those who own them on original vinyl.

Been caning it a bit that night had you Harry?

Will look forward to this Ian....sounds like it will be an interesting read. How many pages relating to Simon Soussan?

Appears to be intermittent - just been on site...working fine...then ran search... everything just remained static. Refreshed page...no access. Back on 10 mins later OK again.

Having problems this morning - can't get on. Maintenance?

I felt it was a generous undertaking by Simon, promising to stay off this thread. Oh well..........

With respect Ian, I think there was little point posting on a public forum if all he was seeking was positive feedback. Surely it's about discussion. The biggest problem in my opinion, was the way that Ian responded to criticism by attacking members personally. Had he managed rise above it I feel sure he would have been left alone.

What a truly ridiculous over reaction. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Mine arrived this morning as well - how did you manage to achieve such good sound quality? My Wigan tapes never sounded like this!

Some very nice records here Neil - If i could go out and hear all these within a one hour set I'd be well pleased

I'm sure most people are honest.............not so sure about straight
