  1. Usual rule is DJ and one other helping them out.

    However - There are some dj's who feel coming in a car with 4 people each carrying a record box is acceptable to shuffle in and say there with me.  Yea right

    Remember this is a hobby

    Philip Kinorra (born Robert Cromwell Anson,[1] also known by his other stage names, Julian Covey, Julien Covey, and Philamore Lincoln) is a British drummer and singer who performed with Brian Auger and the Trinity, Graham Bond, and Don Rendell, as well as with his own band, Julian Covey & The Machine, for which he drummed and sang. He also played as a replacement drummer for The Who's Keith Moon after he hurt himself in 1967. However, he only played one concert with the band before being replaced by Chris Townson, who filled in for Moon for four more concerts.[2][3]

    In 1971 and 1972 he produced two albums for the British progressive rock band Paladin, but he became disillusioned with the music industry and moved to Dorsetwith his wife. As of 2015 he was living in Oxford.[1]

    CareerEdit

    Born in Franklin, Tennessee, Knight made his professional vocal debut with the Paramounts, a quintet consisting of school friends.[2] Signed to Dot Records in 1960, they recorded "Free Me" in 1961, a US R&B hit single that outsold a rival version by Johnny Preston.

    After this initial success, their subsequent releases flopped, resulting in a breakup of the group. They also broke their recording contract with Dot and were prevented from recording for 4 12 years.[2] Knight attended Tennessee State University, where he studied chemistry and sang with the Fairlanes, a vocal trio.[2]

    In 1967, after Knight was seen performing with the Fairlanes in Nashville at a Vanderbilt Universityfraternity, he was offered a contract as a solo artistby the Rising Sons label.[2] His first recording, "Everlasting Love", written by label owners Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, was a success, reaching number 14 on the US R&B chart and 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. This enduring song was an even bigger success in the UK the following year when a version by Love Affair reached No. 1, ironically preventing Knight's version from progressing further than No. 40.[3]

    Knight scored two further pop hits at home, "Blessed Are The Lonely" and "Isn't It Lonely Together".[2] In 1973/1974, thanks to heavy rotation by Northern soulmusic admiring deejays he hit the UK Singles Chartagain with the re-issue of his late 1968 recording "Love on a Mountain Top", reaching #10 in early 1974 in the UK Singles Charts.[3] The song was also written by Cason and Gayden. The re-issued "Everlasting Love" went even higher in the UK in 1974, reaching the Top 20.[3] His final UK chart record was "Better Get Ready For Love" which reached #53 in May 1974.[4]

    He also worked for Vanderbilt University as a chemical lab technician,[5] a chemistry teacher, and a member of the grounds crew.[6]

    Knight died at home in Tennessee, aged 72.[7]

     

     

  4. Brian Rae - still on it at 74, always good for a chat about the old days - who played what record etc etc, I remember years ago I cornered Russ W and Brian ran out of questions of who played what at the Casino , in the early days 73 / 74 - someone really needs to interview all theses jocks get the history written down - legends

    So was Mood Mosaic played at Wigan then ? ... I know it gotta plenty of spins in UK soul clubs between 66 & 69 .. thought it would have been 'old hat' by 74/75ish and later ... after all it had gotten 2 UK releases on 45 by Sept 69, it was available on the UK LP and on Canadian & Euro released 45's. 

    100% yes - mid late 7ts yes, if it was played in 66 it comes under the twisted wheel - pre 73 - so deffo Northern Soul - weather you like it ir not - personally it just went on tooooooo long - not sure if it was pressed one of the other guys am sure will jump on that - they use to use it as a background theme on radio 2

  6. Zed - my best guess is - it looks like it's right at the start of the night see the guy on the left hand side arrive with his bag also people usually put some bags at the front of the stage.   I would say it's the camera man lighting check for the Wigan casino documentary - just my 2 pence

    Well I have started to list all my stuff but it is hard going, they have not seen a turntable for over 40 years. So far up to number 343 so only about a thousand to go. The next step will be to get them all cleaned (any ideas how?), then the problem will be pricing, is there a web site that lists current values?  As for grading that will need a lot of listening as well as a proper classification system. Another problem may be spotting the dodgy ones as I don't have the knowledge about second issues reboots and pressings so will bow to someone's greater knowledge when selling. I don't want to be selling in small amounts and would prefer to sell the lot in one go as it would just take up so much time. So when I have the complete list I will post it and try and answer any questions that arise.  So hope to be in touch soon when list completed.

     

    PS I live in Cornwall now so coming to have a look might be a problem for most people.

        Not sure what you're looking for, as top prices will take time to assess, original, condition, research etc you've got 1,500 even at a lowly £5 a pop - that's £7,500 in your pocket - either way if you brought them back in the day you're quids in.

    top money will take longer or you sell the lot to a record dealer , quick sale - have fun either way

    What to help the sale or for you to remember what you've had in the future ?

    Both - you can save either into you picture album soul records sale - then list what you sold it for (I also put what I brought it for , where I purchased it, venues I've played it at, where I can remember - swapping for a deal of speed is acceptable) - that allows you to see what you had, 10 years from now after a few beers like a sad old Sod you can sit round with you're mates on one lap top going through and on another you tubing the clip - I guess for the £5 don't mean anything records I wouldn't go into detail.

        You're retired mate, do a back ground searches on price see what they go for and knock em out. Ask on SS for price if in doubt if you're 68 most if you're sounds would have been picked up back in the day for £5 , £15 anything higher that £20 was rare. You're quids in - I sold a few on here a few years ago - I paid £18 for gene Woodbury sold it for £360 and now it's £1,000 plus - it's mad - take ur time group a few rare ones together - if you've got TMG numbers the Motown numbers guys will love it - hope it makes you a million 

  10. IanP - not sure how much you paid or if you buy high end records - try and use the experience of some of the older guys on here - Russ , RobbK and PeteS have all been around the houses - if in doubt PM them before you buy - I know. You're concern maybe / well then they might buy this super bargain from under you - but they won't, your know why coz if they wanted it they've already got it.

    I hate it where people scam others into buying something that's incorrect, return the record, name the dealer- and draw a line under it.

    just because of one bad dealer, don't mean there all at it , remember it's a hobby- enjoy

    Hi

     

    Does anyone know the difference between the boot/reissue and the real deal of Eddie Garrigan - "I Wish I Was" (Fontana).

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Brad

     

    The boot is on thick vinyl, blue moulded on label, no machine stamp in the run off. Original is on styrene with stuck on label, blue label or white demo, with appropriate machine stamps.
