Just have the one Teresa, Mel Carter - Wonderful Love / Time Of Young Love on Derby 1005. It's a bit of a Sam Cook sound-alike, if you don't know it. I don't seem to be able to post images on here I'm afraid. John

Nice enough I suppose, though not exactly exhilerating. I don't think Dean's version is likely to be overshadowed. :-)

Sent you a PM.

What was an average weekly wage in 1973, about £20? Apparently it's now £500, so mulitply these up by 25. Still not bad, some of them, and others have gone the other way. Great stuff :-).

Flipside is brilliant too IMO - Homesick.

Had one on here a few weeks ago. He said he was interested in buying the whole block of about fifteen records - all dirt cheap. He haggled about the price and the postage, then, when I'd offered him a pretty fair deal, he said he'd go away and think about it. That as last I heard. What a waste of time.

Yes, the H&G is in a good location. We alternate with them at the Washington Sunday Soul Sessions, and many of the same group attend all three venues (Horti included), but that's about it for rare stuff around here. Shame about the Cumby Arms. There's a small do in Rotherham at the Three Horseshoes and they struggle for numbers as well. They keep going though, 'cos they just love playing the sounds, and good luck to them.

Our view at Darnall Horti is that we play what we want - mainly rare and underplayed, all on OVO. Our guests are under no instructions. We fill a niche that does attract a regular, though not massive, solid level of support, some of whom travel quite long distances. Those that don't like what we play go elsewhere. We don't feel under any particular pressure to fill the dancefloor, but it is, of course, good to see when it happens. We have recently noticed a slow trend towards appreciation of our DJs and music. Hopefully that will continue. We don't have issues with anyone else, we just provide an alternative. It seems to work reasonably well, though we would, of course, love to welcome a few more along.

Yes, I suppose it's a balancing act for them. How much can they screw from the punters before usage levels start to fall too far as customers look elsewhere.

It's a bloody rip-off. Time to sell more privately, or use another site.

Ther are a few about Pete

Just quick story that I think sums up the situation with some auction prices. A couple of years ago I was spinning a particular record, when a guy jumped up on the stage. He looked at it and said he had a copy of it, and told me what he had paid for it. I told him that my near mint copy had been only half his price. 'Ah yes', he said, 'but I bought mine from Manship.' With that he stuck his nose in the air and pranced off. I have no issue with John Manship, he's a legitmate dealer, and good luck to him, but he does attract from very strange customers.

All in excellent condition or better, many near mint. Postage £2, additional items 25p each. Paypal preferred. Any questions, please ask.

Yep, can't blame the seller in any way. Just sold my boot of I Can't Get Away for £7.60 - probably about right.

Has this one been done? I pass no comment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121067759655?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
