  1. If its a session when there's beer present then it has to be feelgood, singalong, handclapping, upset the neighbours kind of records. That means oldies like Lee David, Volcanos anything on Arctic, Casanova Two Silhouettes............
  2. John Manship auctioned my copy (lovely condition) and got about £850 for it. About two years ago. Steve Jeffries bought it and then almost doubles the price on his website! I'd say £8-900 was about right.
  3. I have an album by the Love People on Guinness, which I believe is a very tough album anyway. In the middle of the ballads and the sweet soul is a storming version of "Call on Me". Took me by total surprise when I first played the album. Maybe it could even be the Presentations under a different name. Must dig the album out but I cannot find it at the moment.
  4. Up for grabs is this rarely seen, lovely condition old school style Northern dancer. Probably mint minus but lets call it ex+. Labels are spotless. The other sides sounds pretty good too! £850 ovno. Plus postage. Any payment form is ok but please allow time for a cheque to clear. PM me or dgreet211@btinternet.com Cheers, Dave
  5. Remember getting nicked for drink driving in cannock, on the way up. Was only bump starting the bloody thing. We were kept in tthe nick till about eleven at night then Alison H's dad drove up from Cheltenham to get us. He was'nt too pleased. First heard Richard play Al Williams at Cats Whiskers. I'm sure it was covered up as The masqueraders. Can anyone confirm?
  6. Hello Tone. Just had a couple of beers, saw your name. Thought I was hallucinating!! Hope you're well.. Dave
  7. Used to be a long journey from Southampton in a minibus in those days, but worth every mile. Six hour trip then through Newark etc. Not the miles of motorway you have now. Great memories of the Pier vibrating. For the information of Rick Scott. An old buddy of yours, Paul Rowan, lives about two miles from me in Reading. Thanks for some of the best nights of my life Mary.
  8. These are the sort of threads that keep you awake at night. From the top of my head. Marva Jones I got your number Ski Hi The Parfays. You got a good thing going. Fontana Marvin Holmes You better keep her. The Contacts You're gonna pay Quadrant? Thats it, my heads hurting.
  9. Todd Rundgren. Excellent choice Pete. It does'nt always have to be Soul!
  10. Well done Nickinstoke. A man with admirable taste. Do you believe in Magic by the Loving Spoonful. The greatest feelgood record (non Soul of course) ever made. The lyrics could easily relate to all nighters. What a brilliant demo to have!! If you ever want to sell it sir, than look no further.
  11. I've posted something on a similiar thread a couple of weeks ago. Lewi from Runcorn was Colin Lewis and he lived in Cedar Avenue in Runcorn. His record sleeves were always stamped Lewi Northern Soul Keep the Faith. Don't ask how I know his address. Hi Denny, see you in Spain.
  12. Hi D. You might be interested in A Sly and the Family Stone "Dance to the music" Columbia demo I have. Looks worse then it plays I could only grade it at vg. £25 or perhaps we could work something out. ATB Dave
  13. Cheers Dave. See you in Mojacar.

    Nice clean copy of this serious West Coat rarity. Clean labels and vinyl at least vg++. £600 ono. PM or email at dgreet211@btinternet.com Cheers, Dave
  15. Does anybody have details of hotel and gig tickets please? Thanks
  16. Forget President Obama! A proper celebrity. Like Mark I met you at Stafford way back when, a treasured memory. Welcome aboard Maam!
  17. I was there too and I do remember Betty sang a lot of slower numbers that did'nt really go down too well. There were a few comments along these lines made in Blues and Soul. But the night itself was brilliant.
  18. I remember Lewi very well. I used to send him gear back in the day and he got nicked and grassed me up. I can still remember his old address. But he was a good lad though! I believe he sold up around 78/79 but he kept one record, Eddie Parker "I'm Gone". Boy could he haggle I'm sure his dad must have been an Asian market trader!! I remember at Yate spending about four hours behind the decks trying to get Cheryl Anne off him. Dave
  19. Two very nice additions to a dj's playbox. Ernest Wheelwright "In your arms" Gaye mint minus. £800. Mel Williams. Burn Baby Burn Star. ex. £600. Cash/cheque preferred. PM's please. Best wishes Dave

No offers, thanks very much. Would prefer cash or cheque. PM or email dgreet211@btinternet.com. Best wishes Dave
  21. Remember Stuart McConie playing Exus Trek one Saturday afternoon.
  22. Just found a copy on the shelves. Vinyl is generally ex+ but has a couple of light scuffs from where it looks like it has been out of a sleeve. Plays with a couple of pops and crackles but overall a very nice copy. Certainly a lot cheaper then I've seen it for lately. £15= p+p. Paypal as gift or cash/cheque please. PM or email dgreet211@btinternet.com. Cheers Dave

    /That was a good night out. Records you've heard so many times before always sound better in a club environment. Met Martin Fuggles as well. Really nice bloke, Very well attended to for a Thursday night. Lot of old mods from all over the place.
