I remembered that this topic has been covered a couple of times before, but not for a while.  Here's a link to one thread, which refers to more previous ones...

Top drawer Rich, you had me flipping through Manny's guide not quite believing some of those tunes were cheapies    Most enjoyable x

I'm tuned in so I can heckle Colin

Colin you just made that Trey Js jump you fat-fingered big girl's blouse!

I thought it was S&M , or am I off track here

 

Swifty

Sadly, at our age Swifty we've more chance of MS being multiple sclerosis than S&M

It's not all bad news for Mark ...having £12k set aside for rare records ...he could now grab that Dibango - hallelujah to console himself

Nah, he's an old Wigan boy - he'll be wanting a rousing tubthumper of the highest order

Yes, plenty watching I'm sure.

 

But only one new bidder in the last nine days. Took him just two cracks to get it, in the last two minutes.

Yep, interesting bidding pattern, but let's face it, just not that many folk with 10k+ to play with at the moment.

And Mark Harrison let me know if you need any help with that 12 grand burning a hole in your pocket now pet, lol   

I think the candlelight flickered across the whole of Porkpieshire just then, there were so many people watching!

*Dons school uniform, packs MS in satchel and prepares for oriental trip...*

If I win I won't expect any clothes to be worn at all throughout the whole process. That includes the entire staff of John Manships Records when handling my (potential) property.

Joel Maslin you'll do it in your vest and pants and see me after class.

Well, time's ticking away.  Will the inscrutable gentlemen of the East come from behind with a late entry?

Oi Flynny, any jobs past Magaluf are mine mate! 

Please note there will be a small additional charge if I'm required to wear a uniform for the delivery

You're right Tee - I would probably rather have £15k (or whatever it goes for) worth of sticker demos for cheap Ric-Tics, Golden Worlds, Groovesvilles etc. than have one copy of the Mello Souls 

I can see where you're coming from Kung Fu boy.  Likewise, on the right day of the month I'd rather have 15 grand's worth of Haagen Dazs.

You'd have to be a very confident circuit DJ to buy this and play it out I think, as it's such a big signature tune for someone else.  I can just picture it slipping with barely a whisper into the hermetically stored crisp pristine sleeves of a minty completist collector, never to be heard again.  Hope not though

Look Richard, I think you'll find that lowering the tone has always been MY job!   You just stick to stickered demos and whatever it is that you do best

P.S.  I AM the woman with the ice cream tub!

I'm still laughing at 'tub thumper' but it's so apt     I've listened to it countless times the last couple of weeks, and I cannot help myself thumping hell out of an imaginary tub, lol.  It just sounds better every time and is the distillation of my misspent youth at the 100 Club whilst never sounding old and hackneyed.  What a cracking find for the geezer who turned this copy up.  I doubt it'll dislodge FW from that 'most expensive' perch, but if it did it'd be poetic.

A creditable attempt Johnstone but often distracted by the boys at the back.  Must try harder.  See me after class

Sounding great so far

I didn't know of the previous name?  I've only known him for the last 5 years, in which time he's been Gee-Field.  But yes, I had the pleasure of spending some time with him and his Dad when they were last in Europe, he's charming.  And fit as 

Well any mistakes can't possibly be Gez's fault, as he's such a talented man he can do no wrong in my eyes, lol, so Wednesday's scapegoat will be Dizzy Dean or Random Richard.  Can't wait

I'm SO gonna be heckling you Rich!  Now let's have so slip-ups, miscues or faux-pas - remember, we're not at home to Mister Cockup

G-Filla?

Gee-Field (Garfield Green III)

Mind you, he can filla me any time he likes, he's a damn fine specimen of a man

I'm friendly with Garland's son on Facebook Richard, I'll drop him a line too, see if he can nudge his old man for the info

Never heard of it!

It's that place where you go for a life of Pi

Bonjour Philippe

It's Liquid Soul - Threadin' The Needle

You'd need back up T.

There's no doubt I'd need someone with a safe pair of hands Kev.  And if you could just warm them a bit, that'd be good 

Though knowing our luck, we'd get through the rigorous tender process, secure the Mello Souls courier contract, only for it to be bought by someone in Leighton Buzzard

Manny if your Third Under-Secretary is reading this, my fees for couriering to Tokyo are eminently reasonable.  Just sayin' like

Unfamiliar with the venue, I remember saying to Jeff as we approached the site for the first time, 'I wonder what sort of a place it is?'

As we drove in there was a banner over the entrance saying that a four-day chalet break for a family of four was £9.  I think that told us everything we needed to know about the facilities    Happy days.

I've done a few but my memory isn't what it was

Ady I actually wrote you & Sylv a letter after the first one, thanking you as I'd had such an ace time, and advance reserving a ridiculous cardboard chalet with hip bath of rusty water for the next one.  Found a copy of it the other day
