WOW !!! my Gob is smacked !! I am so envious , if you decide to knock some 'SOUL PACKS' up Ian let me know

Ian , do you still have a record collection or has it been sold off over the years? Also how many records (roughly) did you have at any one time and do you regret selling them (if you did). Hope this makes sense Cheers Swifty

anyone ? Please Swifty

Just bought JESSE LANKFORD - WHAT'S A MATTER BABY/WE'LL TAKE OUR LAST WALK TONIGHT - POLYDOR DEMO Offa e-bay , trouble is I'd had a few vino's and to be honest I've never bloody heard of it (Just looked nice , if you know what I mean ). Can anybody put me out my misery and tell me if I've just wasted me money (as usual !) will have to stop going on e-bay when I'm p*ssed Cheers Swifty

Chris , mine arrived safely in sunny Lincolnshire on Saturday am , not took it out of car CD Player yet! Great mix of tunes , right up my street and hope to tie a night at the Three Greyhounds in with a trip upto the 'Theatre of Dreams' in the not to distant future , once again , nice one mate Cheers Swifty

Yesterday lunchtime got home just before the wife and saw that postie had left me a little parcel, well you know that exitement feeling you get (yes you do ), so I'm trying to unwrap this very well wrapped parcel (loads of card and 3 miles of tape!) before she arrives , anyway could see her walking up the street and in my haste to open the parcel managed to snap the 'kin record in half !!! All because I didn't want her to know I'd bought 'another bloody record'. $15 down the pan !!! Swifty

And Me !!! Swifty

Al Green - How do you mend a broken heart (Makes me fill up everytime) No not the car !! Swifty

AL WILSON - PASSPORT (album Track ) what a belter , forgot all about this Swifty

Thanks mate , didn't realise it had been covered before, any idea what sort of prices they fetch as wouldn't mind collecting the lot at some point Cheers Swifty

Thats the beauty of threads like this mate , the old memory boxes start working (a bit! ) Swifty

Or am I thinking of 'SOUNDS SUPERB' Label or is that the same as MFP , Doh!

How many different Albums on MFP (Motown Related) are there ? I have a few , Marvin Gaye/Mary Wells/Smokey/Stevie/Isleys but I pressume there are a few more. Did all/most contain unissued tracks? Are they still a reasonable price to buy? Are any of them now rare? Cheers Swifty

Billy Butler - Right Track - Okeh - (Still gives me goosebumps!) Harold Melvin - Get Out - Landa (What a begining!) £4 Soul bowl Edward Hamilton - Baby dont you weep - ( Lyrics !) Mary Jane £8 Soul Bowl If only we could go back in Time!!! Swifty

but I was born in Altrincham , lived in Bury & Tupsarse ( Ramsbottom ) so do I qualify Swifty p.s. we now have roads in Lincolnshire !! (and Tractors)

No Problem mate Cheers Swifty

I'm Linc's as well Swifty

Nice One pm'd you mate. Swifty

Just looking at another thread regarding UK boots which reminded me of a record I had probably 20 odd years ago, it was a UK style 45 (i.e. pronged centre/ridged if thats the correct terminology!) of ' Ski-ing in the Snow ' with a white label no print (can't remember what was on the other side) anyway in my wisdom I decided to wash some records, as you do and when I dried it I noticed the Vinyl peeled back a bit from the label, so as you do (bit like when you've got a scab I started picking it and to my amazement the 'kin Vinyl came away to reveal another record underneath, decided to try and play it and could just make out Creedance Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon rising (I think) - My question is 1/ were many records booted like this 2/ how the kin 'ell did they do it ? Cheers Swifty

Cheers Mate Swifty

Yup! then I'll have an opinion Swifty

Thanks for the replies Folks , how do I tell if its a demo ? on mine It does show the date under the MAR-V-LUS wording but looking on the Gemm one that is spelt SAYLES that also has the same date printed and looks Identical , are these both demos? or do all MAR-V-LUS records all have the date on. Still worth $10 for a mint one eh? Cheers Swifty

Sorry if this has been asked before but can somebody help a confused man , just bought a copy (Blind) off e-bay of JOHNNY SAILS - DONT TURN YOUR BACK ON ME - MAR-V-LUS 6000 and just been looking on gemm to see if the $10 was well spent and noticed some other ones for sale and looked at the label scans but they were printed JOHNNY SAYLES (Same Label/No. etc.) Obvioulsy a misprint , does it make one rarer than the other Cheers Swifty

Sorry to hear that mate , hope your son is ok . Swifty
