Looking for a good playable copy of Jackie Wilson, Who, Who Song and Big Maybelle Quittin Time/ Just Can't Wait Any Longer on Rojac. Would also consider Just Can't Wait on a demo or the other issue with Turn The World Around on the flip. Please PM if you can help. Thanks, Steve.

Put up a want for this a couple of weeks ago and thought I was sorted but it has not quite happened. Looking for a VG+ or better. Thanks, Steve.

Looking for a copy of Spiedels, Dream Girl, in VG+ or better for sensible price. Cash waiting! Cheers, Steve.

A while back there was a whole programme on Radio 4 dedicated to this very subject including interviews with big named artists of the time. It discussed the interference of the US Government and how they banned certain releases as they felt it was not in the interest of the war effort. I'm sure this must be archived. I think it was early this year and it was on a weekday around 12.00am. It might have been in more than one part. Hope that is of use. Regards, Steve.

Volumes please if it's still for sale. I like to do my bit! Thanks, Steve

Now sold! Thanks for looking.

Porgy and the Monarchs - That Girl on Musicor black issue copy. Condition is VG+ ( light scuffs but plays fine) £85 + p&p. Please pm if interested.

If anyone has a copy of 'You shoulda held on' for sensible money, please PM me. Not looking for a 'minter', just a nice playable one! Cheers, Steve.

Bang on the money Dave! If anyone sets themselves up with an article like this, it has to be bloody good, and quite frankly this just isn't. Nothing personal. Regards, Steve.

Hi mate! Some good points but have to disagree on the 'cool for the youngsters' point. The quality of the music will always interest new listeners to the scene. It's up to the promoters to keep it interesting for new and old alike. You should know, look how many younger faces keep appearing at the Pembo! The events that struggle are nearly always a combination of, Poor venue. Bad organisation re flyers and publicity etc. Crap sound system. Poor quality DJ's. Unimaginative music policy Over saturated area. (most of country) The other problem is often the management at venues. We have encountered this only too often, dealing with power crazed petty officials and spotty kids who display an amazing inconsistency and incompetence. A perfectly good event gets ruined as a result. Or venues being closed down and sold off for development or change of use. Such a shame for hard working promoters who have put in years of effort building reputations etc. What amazes me though, is how when one shuts about 3 others spring up in its place. Not depressing really as the good events will hopefully keep the flag flying high until long after we've shuffled off the dance-floor for the last time .

Me and Jem run The 'Pembo' in Rushden. Never had any 'pissheads', never had any security either. We have had a few people come in not knowing what the night is all about and have either left after about half an hour or have enjoyed it and asked when the next one is on. In a couple of cases people have said they expected it to be a 'Motown' night and expressed dissapointment, so we apologised and refunded their entrance money! I can't imagine any major problem occuring that we are not capable of nipping in the bud or handling with a bit of tact. Never seen any major problem anywhere I have ever been to, to be honest. Cheeers, Steve .

Thanks Shaun. It is sold already but I have been offered one now so should be sorted! All the best, Steve.

PM'd ya. Thanks, Steve.

'Barbara Lynn, Movin on a Groove.' Looking for a reasonable copy for playing out. Does not need to be a mint collectors copy! Please PM if you can help. Thanks, Steve.

This guy Salamone took me for around £150 on e bay. I sent him a money order so have an address (not sure how much use this is). Maybe we could pool resources and get the UK police to have a look. Or better still find him and give him a damn good kicking . I am very happy to share what little info I have on him. Regards, Steve.

Interesting debate guys. On the one hand I would love a copy of Joe Jammer but on the other it is no way worth £1500 for a beat up copy. Or is it? Loads of different bidders chased it to that price in open auction! I agree with Jem, there must be plenty out there in Tex Mex land yet to be discovered. As for its merits as a record, well that's just down to personal opinion. Pop versus Reggae? Pop for me i'm afraid. Sadly poor old Joe will get hammered to death so not sure that it's a good investment. Funny how the feel good factor, dance floor fillers get panned by the critics. Steve.

Well guys, there must be loads around as I've been offered about 8! It would be rude to say how much and from whom but I got fixed up with a nice copy for well under £200. Thanks to everyone for your help. Soul Source does it yet again. All the best, Steve.

Looking for a nice copy on M-Pac. Anyone got one for sale, PM me. Thanks, Steve.
