That is f##king awesome! One of the greatest soul records ever!! Well done Tats & Gilly

Signed the petition. Bloody corporate bullies

Thanks for clearing that up Sebastian. I was already under the impression that most of the copies around were in somewhat less than M- condition, so you did well to find one! Seems strange it went to the US though if its getting big spins on the soul scene!

White Cliffs demo went on ebay for $586 (£471) yesterday see link below https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371863196029?ul_noapp=true I know this one was M- and the demo I had and let go for £30 a couple of years ago was only VG (and that was with a £5 profit ) but is it now really going for such big amounts and is it as described in the auction as Mega Rare, extremely in demand and getting big spins. Is it, or was this just marketing talk? Perhaps it shot up in value following the death of the great man last year? Great uptempo record though. Can't say I'd heard it before Des Parker gave it a spin 5 or 6 years ago at Solid Hit Soul Anyone know whether it was an oldie from back in the day, or who started spinning?

pm'd you!

pm'd you

Bloody hell that is some list Phil

So your memory is not completely f***ed then

Continental Coffee Bar in Bradford circa 1968 - 1971 - Lots of Twisted Wheel plays, Motown, Stax, Atlantic!

Seen this venue mentioned numerous times in threads but can't find one specifically related. As an ex West Yorky in exile I very am interested to know more about the venue particularly in respect of it's soul history, i.e. years it ran, dj's, popular plays, or records which were broken there, characters/faces who frequented etc. I'm sure Kegsy will be along shortly

I've also got one on Atlantic for sale VG+ at £20. pm me if you're interested BTW it's Delacardos (not Delcardos)!

Original release was 1970 on Invictus - US, UK, Australia, NZ and various European countries. No sign of any Atlantic release per Discogs!

Hi Mitch, Have they got to be demos? I've got a Darrell Banks Revilot issue if you're interested.

Just over 2 hours to go and it's now at $4,650 with 41 bids!

Matthew, Got an Exits on Gemini 1004 - white DJ Copy. I bought it as a VG- from a well known dealer on which he had written "play with a few clicks, rare WD, fine to DJ with". To be honest I'd grade it conservatively as a G, (Soul Source gradings used), but it has a better label on it than the last one on Popsike which was graded VG+ and went for £65, so I'd take £25 for it. Let me know if you're interested.

Was that the West Coast - John Manship exclusive invite find Chalky?

It certainly is Peter, massive tune and IMO one of the best five records I've ever heard and I'd love one myself. Whenever I bump into Steve Woomble at Cleethorpes he just knows that I'm going to ask him to play this (and he always does)

Know what you mean Chalky but his VG- is described as: "The record may have some deeper audible scratches. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently than that of a VG record but will play without skipping." $3,900 seems a hell of a lot of money for a record with clicks and pops which you probably can't dj with? On Popsike there was a VG++ with a slight warp which went for $6,643 back in October 2014. I'm sure there was a more recent one sold which was talked about on here but can't find it a the moment!

33 bids and up to $3,900 (that's £3,189) and it's only VG- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/70s-Soul-45-HAMILTON-MOVEMENT-Shes-Gone-LOOK-OUT-HEAR-/232182199649?hash=item360f233561:g:pPoAAOSwImRYWytF

I'm sure Dave Greenhill will know if he's still got his! Would have thought £1k at least!

Me too!
