How many are there? (I can't be bothered to check, lol.) Do you want to sell them as a job lot? Do you want to sell them individually? How much are you thinking?

Picture of the White demo of "Open The Door To Your Heart"

Yes we were, late 71 onwards for me.

Soul Sam played the Jimmy James version for a while circa 75. l bought the LP after hearing him play it at the Cic all nighter in Burnley.

The 1st record l saw/had with BBC stamp on it, was a Stateside demo of "That's What Love Is Made Of" Picked up in 70 or 71 and sold to the Late Dave Ellson

That's my old copy, l sold it to lan

Yeah there is that one and one of the Hot Wax ones as an extra track on, not sure which one without checking. It's maybe 20 plus years since l played it, but l think it's Hot Wax three.

Hi Rick, trust you are well, yeah l bought loads of stuff off Bob circa 74/75. As for the Johnny Baker it was "Shy Guy", l got a few and sold them on, sent for some more and when they came they were pressings (he said they weren't) lol. Same with the Servicemen, got the cartoon design, then the 2nd lot was the plain label. My best buys were, Mickie Champion when it was still covered as Jody Williams and a nice green issue of Alice Clark. (all WD's around at the time) Celest Hardie was a good seller, because it was popular at our local venue (Accy Legion) and maybe nowhere else at the time. Yes he was a character, known as Disco Bob, Neil Rushton and Ian Dewhirst could tell you more. Yours Dave.

It did get spins at the Mecca mainly last hour, but both me and Phil Duckworth were playing it at Accy Legion before that and it was a floor filler. It became more popular nation wide with the crossover scene years later. l wish l had kept back a few copies, l was selling them at two quid each, and the last couple of copies l sold at 50p each. lan Cunliffe also had copies for sale around the same time.

Soul music late 60's. Northern early 70's.

Bought 21st Century for the "Coming Right Back" side back in 74 to play at Accy Legion. In 76 flipped it and played "Shadow Of A Memory" at Accy Band Club.

Yeah to both Mick.

l sold it to Ian, a few years before Ted got hold of it, yeah he is from East Lancs.

Ted Massey as got my old copy.

Yeah very sad news Pete. Just got a phone call a few minutes ago. Yet another one taken too soon. RIP.

Are you saying that the 1974 boot of Dana Valery on Pussy Cat, been booted again recently?

Yeah, as Double Cookin says played in 74.

Yes it was a big tune, played 1st at the Mecca back in 74.

If you think that's a bad list, you are lucky you didn't hear some of the stuff played between 75 and 79.

Simon did them, lots of the in demand sounds at the time and even a few that he had as unknowns. The 1st patch hit the UK in 75, then in bulk in 76.

Yeah it is a classic and it got booted back in the day.

Yeah it was a Mecca spin, but most clubs played it at the time.

Danny Wagner "This Thing Called Love" Played in 74 Mr Bloe "Land Of A 1000 Dances" Played in 73

Yeah, played around our way as well, also a Woolies thing with inst of "Band Of Gold" at the same time.

Back in the day loads that were LP only Four Seasons, Mike Post Col. Outsiders, Robert Knight, Gladys Knight, Total Eclipse, Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band, Betty Wright, Al Wilson, Exciters, Danny Wagner, Detroit Sound, Metros, JJ Barnes, Mr Bloe, etc A few that l could think of off top of my head. P.S. how did l forget Bobby Hutton
