Sam Dees-"what's it gonna be" The Show Must Go On( well the whole lp really)every soul collection should have one
Curtis Mayfield-"No Thing On Me" (cocaine song)the ultimate anti coke song to me anyway another lp only track of Superfly

hi went here in 1997 and got to know hodge the owner well he was a friend of roy c and millie jackson he died tragically and his son Cookie took over he then died aged 42of cancer his widow majorie took over untill 2009 i think but really struggled all 3 were lovely people hodge rang other people with my wants list and i also gave him and his son my spare copies of voices from the shadows mags the area is run down but there ain't a bad man on evey corner a lot of talk is bullshit i think you just need to use common sense the barbers next door to the Soul Train shop are good guys and one rode with us to record heaven florida seems hard to find much though a mate walked in a store once that looked crap nothing in the racks etc he asked owner if he had anything in the back he said a few old 45s and showed him a small stack and siitig on top of the pile of records non with sleeves was Jimmy bo Horne "i just can't speak"for the princeley sum of $2 strangeley enough the rest of the pile ws just crap and pop music etc not another soul recodr among them
keep digging

I was at the Chandler show he was great that night I thought he was making a beeline to me to shake my hand only to grab my mate Lance who was probably the only coloured lad he could see at the front of the crowd we caught up with him later for autograph etc think it may have been ayear earlier than '83 though
a bit different my case but in the early 90s i bought a $14 cd of a US website and paid appropriate postage week later or so i gets a card through the letter box to collect package at local fedex depot I was asked to pay some kind of payment there to which i told them to well put it bluntly -f*ck off-ive paid for the item and post etc already and i got my cd off them!A month later maybe i gets a letter of a debt collecting agency for about £30 vat and fedex charges so i rung the agency who threatened court action blah blah fucking blah i told they ain't getting it and it'll cost them more than £30 quid trying ie letters court threats all the bullshit they were gonna go through =and to put it bluntly-told em to f*ck off .I never heard another sniff off em I think they are chancing it if everyone pays they are making a LOT of money for nothing any way is 1second hand record subject t V A T I know what Id tell em to do.....
all the best dave
for me
"it takes a whole lotta man for a woman like "top top tune my fave also "make me the woman you go home to"another great tune both on standing qvation lp that has the "no one could love you more"but the other 2 far better imo

last time i was in beverlys records the coloured guy that shows you around wher to look etc real cool guy he was dancing around and singing word for word to lou courtneys "what do you want me to do"but anyway he told me that Patti Hamilton visits that shop every other day so it might be worth visiting just to bump into Patti I sent a message to her via Jack shop owner but he said she didnt seem to believe there was much interest in uk about her!!!good luck and hope you bump into her if you go
dave
