Ok damn it £210.

The above post may not present right as am working from my phone . There was an issue on that appeared ok for £850? Didn't think too bad given current prices

Don't think this sold on eBay tonight https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/121280261866?index=8&nav=WATCHING&nid=83639207178

£200 for at least VG+ of Victors Hurt, Phillips issue or demo, anyone?

Jimmy Seals, Yesterday of our Love

Great character now left us. Sort of guy who wouldn't see him for a while then he's turn up again and it would be just like he was always there. Saw him do a couple spots over the last few years, had great understanding and taste. Funeral arrangements anyone?

Pm'd eatoboss, checked issue bit disappointing , labels good clean VG+ buy vinyl got several marks that don't look pretty. Plays clear though.

I think I have an issue and demo, don't need both. Will check after work. Do you have a preferred want regarding issue / demo? Dean

Four I recall from the days my legs moved to any beat 2 been mentioned, Gems and The Jewels, but also Isley Brothers - Tell me it's just a rumour and Halos Do I .

Can't accurately recall condition, I'm remembering strong VG+ but would have to check. Not currently in sales box but if you want to make an offer feel free (perhaps after I've confirmed condition?) Dean

Used to include Johnny Copeland One More time in ealry door playlists at the Attic nights, very strong record still enjoying home spins, BUT didn't know The Jannie Williams, will have to look out for one of those, good post, thanks.

When you're in that space it feels like the right thing to do. It's also god for making me feel stupidly superior when others get it 'wrong'. How ever much important stuff I can't for the life of me remember, for some reason I don't need reminding or to think where to clap!

I wonder if LA management are aware if the Trandy debacle? Would that offer insight into the sorry affair? Might turn up with my ticket saying I thought it was re-arranged.

Blanche Carter!! I'd managed to erase that from my memory, very much of its time

One that's proved itself in my car over a few years is Chess Northern Soul: Marlena Shaw and Ramsey Lewis, Dells, Terry Callier, Valentinos, Mamie Galore, Radiants, Fontella Bass, Gospel Classics, Tony Clark, Little Milton, and others

Can't help with question, don't recall Treat Me Like Lady being played. Just wanted to shout out for Lesley Gore. No Matter What You Do (Mercury) is a great mod/northern thumping tune. Her version of Just Can't Get Enough of You was played but before my time. I think this is quite rare, it's on the '66 album Lesley Gore Sings About Love but not sure about the 45 release. Same as Apollas on Loma.

Wish they'd still do Torch or Wheel anniversary badges like that Wigan 40th badge so I could feel part of that, feel like I'm missing out on a scene. 100 club doesn't stand a chance of overtaking Wigan brigadoon!

I wish it would have included Brenda Holloway, Lonely Boy, I would just love to play that out, such an atmospheric sound.

Soulgirl on here a copy for sale a few months ago, not sure if it sold?

As a general principal I'd agree regarding the benchmark of JMs prices, and looking at 50% as realistic depending upon grading, but there are some that are undervalued in the guide. I'm going to look at posting a ROJAC (119) black/white promo (Ex) Lavell Hardy - What Kind of Woman for which I'd unashamedly ask £80+ where there's a book price of £40. John doesn't know the scarcity of each and every record and I think this one is difficult, much more than the book price would indicate. However, I grant you it's more usual the other way.

I've got an idea for a Christmas game, NS Top 500 bingo. Sat around tables at a soul night / nighter, only allowed to bring a 100 count box, have to place your (OVO) offering on the table to match the numbers being called (or played for that matter). May need a little more work but if you're reading Kev R it's my idea! Whilst I'm at it can I claim NS Monopoly, collecting nighters around the board (100 Club = Mayfair, discuss yourself what's Old Kent Road), collecting a set to play with attendance fees according for landing on it. If only I could find an NS Tat stall at a weekender to sell this stuff!

Told myself I wouldn't do this, and i really am busy at work but . . . . . Is The Group Cecil Washington in there? Had a scan through driven by critical curiosity and didn't spot it. Obviously not in the same league as Exciteres Beaching for the Best, but surely could have snook in the lower order with Eddie Parker? SteveL - we need an oldies contest with this list in mind!!!

I can even disagree with myself on these lists. Recall contributing to a list on here a while ago, was it Your own Top 20 or somehting like that? I compiled a list and a few days later I'd completely changed my mind. I still put on an old tape or CD and think "Oh this would definitely be in my top 20". My Top 20 consists of around 200 records. However, that doesn't stop me criticising others and this list doesn't sit well with me, but as Pete S points out, I would be questioning myself if it did.

Losing most memories but these remain rigid: Notts Palais dayers circa 76/77 - Idle few, People That's Why Samantha's - Earl Wright Thumb a Ride Old English Matlock - Fats Domino, Keeps Raining Wigan - Richard Searling's intros , waiting to hear the next great sound Clifton Hall - Herbie Hunter, Born to Love You (thanks to a girl dancing in a white dress)
