P.M.'d you. Tony. OZ.

Hiya Guy's, wonder if anyone can please help out with a really nice copy of this. It's Sue's birthday on the 1st of May and she would appreciate me putting this in her card lol. Anyway if you have a copy to part with please pm me with condition and price. I would like at least a EX to mint minus. Cash waiting via paypal. Many thanks, Tony. OZ.

I seem to remember this was discussed on here a while ago and my suggestion then was this... I went to my local D.I.Y. shop and purchased some metal toolboxes. These hold about 200 singles, have a hinged lid, carrying handles on both ends and have a lockable clasp on one side. They are quite light too being made of non-rusting galvanised 1.5 mm steel. Cost me 18 Aus dollars, about 10 U.K. pounds so they work out nice and cheap. Best thing is you can stack them as high as you want without doing any damage plus they are light enough to move around when loaded. Suggest you try your local D.I.Y. shop and see if they do them. Good luck anyway. ATB Tony OZ

I have for sale a mint re-issue ( purchased in 1975 from a U.S.A. warehouse ) on the capitol label. Stunning record and seemingly one thats hard to find in this condition. Price 30 pounds includes postage anywhere in the world. Payment via paypal as a gift please. Please P.M. me if interested. Thanks for looking. Tony, OZ.

Sorry i don't know the actual address as some friends took us there but it is just 2 minutes walk from the Victoria shopping centre which is smack bang in the middle of the city so should'nt be too hard to find. Just ask anyone as it's a real popular place. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did, oh and take a camera. ATB Tony. oz.

While in the U.K. recently we went to the Soulville Steak House in the centre of Nottingham. They have an old type jukebox with stacks of Northern and Motown singles on it AND the best part is you can press the buttons and play them for FREE while partaking in the eating of the best steaks i have tried ever. They have some fantastic memorabilia too as well as a nice Lambretta parked in the window. Well worth a visit if your in Nottingham. The owner is a real nice guy too and loves his soul music. The place is alway's packed out with soulies old and new. Defo be in there when we come over in September. Stay soulful.. Tony and Sue, OZ.

Hiya James, Sorry to hear about your unfortunate predicament mate, let's hope all ends well for you and you get back on your feet pretty sharpish. Did'nt manage to catch up with you at Prestatyn. Do you have a copy of the Gentlemen Four, you can't keep a good man down, on Wand ?? I will have a good look through your other lists and let you know if there is anything else of interest. Stay soulful and try and enjoy the Easter break. ATB Tony, OZ.

Hi there Anyone got a copy of Reggie La Mont, "How lonely can one man be" I understand its on the Blue Rock label. Please PM with condition and price if you fancy selling me your copy. Thanks Sue

I have a pair of Micks old underpants and you can just see where his Mum wrote his name in the back. They won't fit him now tho' lol. Can't quite make out whats in the groove as it's a bit caked on but tell him he can have them back at Skeggy in September. Tony. OZ.

Hiya Dave, yes i did see your reply on my wants thread when i was asking for the Bobby Valentin version. Your reply prompted me to buy the Tony Manero version and i love it. The dancers proved just how good it is. Thanks for putting me onto it, you saved me a fortune and i got a better tune. ATB Tony. OZ.

I recently picked up the Los Fulanos version of this great latin dancer and played it at the Prestatyn weekender to really good dancefloor response. Sean Chapman then played the Bobby Valentin version on the Sunday. Gotta say the cheaper one sounds perfect to me and has a really great Latin feel to it, you just can't help dancing. Just wondering who else has played this cos at about a fiver against 300 quid there does'nt seem to be any competition between the 2. Has this been overlooked by the scene in general cos it's cheap and have you heard it out ???? Be interested in your comments. Tony T BONE. OZ.

Would anyone with a really nice copy of this Wand classic be tempted to part with it for the princely sum of 700 U.K. pounds please ??? P.M. me if you have one for sale. Thanks, Tony. OZ.

Hiya Ken, is this for the mint copy of Gentlemen Four you are sending me cos i would like it to be signed for mate lol. ATB Tony.

Would that be THE bottle by G.S.H ????????? Red, White or Rose ? Oh fook it let's just get pssssssst.

Belt drive or not Brett, some of the crappy decks some promoters are using nowaday's actually need to be sped up slightly to achieve anywhere near the original speed the records were recorded at. This is usually down to poor maintainance or a general lack of care plus some of the decks i have seen are pretty naff makes and only good for occasional home use, not constant use over sevaral hours. It's Technics or nothing for me.

First one of my big ticket items to go on sale, this is the very rare Billy Hines, Ling Ting Tong on the pink Wa- Tusi label. As far as i know there are only about 4 known copies ( tbc ). I know Phil T play's his copy out at Burnley. This one is stone mint apart from a very small x on the play side. I have played it once at Rugby to fantastic dancefloor response. This record rates as a FIVE STAR RARITY in Manships million dollars of soul guide, alongside stuff like Walter Wilson and Don Gardner. It WILL become a monster in the right deejay's hands. I am happy to let it sit in storage if i don't get a good offer or i will put it on J.M. auction. So am looking for SERIOUS offer over 1200 pounds please. Cheap considering just how few copies there are and mine is mint. No tyre kickers, thanks for taking the time to look. Tony T BONE OZ.

I have this in the wants section and was wondering what the going rate would be as it say's 500 pounds in Manship's guide ? It's the Gentlemen Four, you can't keep a good man down, Wand 1184. HAS ANYONE GOT ONE FOR SALE ?? Thanks in advance, Tony. OZ.

As Chubby Brown say's ' that Garyoke is in every pub in town, just drops his gear and fooks off ' Barsteward !!

That's nice to know mate, give my regards to Jimmy. Has he still got his denim jacket with all the patches on ?? Tell him i will be back in the U.K. next week, coming over for Prestatyn. ATB Tony. OZ.

MAKE IT A FULL CARTON MATE AND YOU CAN HAVE THEM ALL WITH PLEASURE. PICK EM' UP AFTER PRESTATYN COS I'M SICK AND TIRED OF LUGGIN' EM' HALFWAY ROUND THE WORLD LOL.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you at Skeggy in September, love to Sue. Tony TUNA BOY. OZ.

Apologies if this has been discussed before but with the ever increasing amount of records for sale where would be the best place to sell any really big ticket numbers IF you wanted to get shot of them. I see ebay has some 24,000 items for sale now as apposed to this time last year when there were around 8,000. S.S. sales also have mountains of the stuff and John Manship's auction continues to carry loads of quality vinyl ( not alway's the really rare stuff either ). So with so much on offer do i detect a mass exodus to get rid of collections ? Is this due to scare tactics about ' how long the scene may go on for ' or ' how long will our vinyl be collectable ' ?? There have been a few threads recently discussing those 2 questions. I hope there will alway's be enough serious deejay's / collectors around to keep the value of the really great records at a level where they should be. Stuff like Al Williams, Billy Hines, Calvin Grayson, Honeybees, Lester Tipton et al. No i'm not getting worried about my collection but i think it's an interesting topic that needs to be addressed. Thanks for reading and feel free to partake. Tony T Bone. OZ. Spreading the Faith down under.

I used to go to the George Hotel which was near the railway station in Peterborough in the 70's. They had a northern soul / motown night every Sunday night in the bar. It was run by Steve Allen and used to get absolutely rammed. Was well advertsed and well known by everyone. Great nights, shame it ain't there now. Whos' your Dad ? I might have known him before i migrated to Australia. Tony T Bone.

Ouch !! just hooked my finger through the centre hole of Lester Tipton, dipped it in boiling water and now have third degree burns to my right hand. Won't be using it for some time to come ( not an intended pun ) Am i doing something wrong ??

Would appreciate any help with the following please. Just P.M. me with condition and price. Must be at least VG+ and good labels. The Rivingtons, I love you alway's, vee jay 649 Bobby Valentin, Use it before you lose it, fania 458 Jimmy 'preacher' Ellis, I'm gonna do it all by myself, movin'136 or jewel 770 Thanks for looking at my wants. Tony. OZ. JIMMY ELLIS NOW SORTED THANKS BUT STILL NEED BOBBY VALENTIN AND GENTLEMEN FOUR.

Anyone please help with a copy of this ?? I really would like at least VG+. P.M. me with condition and price. Many thanks, Tony.
