So ..... never seen before. That's 2 unicorn rare, stuff of legend, holy grail items finishing in the same auction week! Will it split the bidding of those who seek the truly rare, iconic items. How do you choose. Tee Shirt of Darrell Banks

I've only just noticed this on the JM site. A Wigan Casino Tee-Shirt from the early 70's. I'd never seen or heard of these before. Anyone here had one, seen one, knew about them??? Any other Casino Wear other than Spencers and badges? Is it a pre-Christmas wind-up? https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/auction/9583/wigan-casino-tee-shirt I can see these being "booted" and on eBay ready for Santa to deliver . If folks are willing to produce/buy a repo-membership card, who knows

I've had records go AWOL for up-to 2 months (delivery to UK). One record from USA seemed to have a detour to Germany for some reason. One from Japan never made it here and ended up back with the seller. He relisted it after refunding me. When I said I'd still like to but it for the same price he agreed and used the same packaging as the first time so I knew he was telling the truth.

I borrowed one for the first year!! There were always loads of kids at school who had a membership card but never went! Here's mine - a bit the worse for wear! Used to get very hot and sweaty in my back pocket and I think it went in the washing at least once. So I covered it in tape to hold it together. (p.s. just found the envelope it came in - strange the things you keep!)

JM has a copy for £30. Artist title Moses and Joshua (no Dillard)

Elusive Dreams in the one on Stateside

While I only have limited knowledge, here's a couple of things I like. Chuck Colbert - Stay https://youtu.be/R05-CU1Kt_s And Donald Austin - Side Saddle https://youtu.be/hK6nRMgL__4

"Don't Bring Me Down"

Is this an OVO event, or will they be playing "boots"

Go on, I'll start... "You Get Your Kicks" "Mr Big Shot"

Any information on possible tour dates for the UK?

Thanks for the update Mark, just placed my order . Kev Bod

Not sure if these are (or are rightfully ) forgotten.. The Traditions - My Life With You https://youtu.be/mzjTMgBToMA Rene Pryor - On Broadway https://youtu.be/S9tFYnm1ydI Gene Latter - Groove It https://youtu.be/Z2uwFHJSKtA As I recall, are were being played about the same time - 1978 ish??

Interesting read Moptopmike has very strong opinions! So, Rouser Frank Beverly in a boot! Also, he seems to have spelled Patten (as on USA copies) as Patton (this in on UK copies) I think I'd trust JM rather than Mr Moptop.

Your either a mad dog or Englishman out in the midday sun!!

Hi Pete, I have an original as per the JM description in his auction in September 2011 with the position of the FW stamp in relation to the 1168 number and the funny number "8". I also have the boot. However someone tried to make it look legit with the FW mark but it's in the wrong place relative to the 1168 and the "8" looks normal proportions. There is a VERY light line through the "e" in "Dame" on the original and a more obvious line through the "e" on the boot. The boot does have marks on the run-out groove but the original doesn't. Here's a scan of both, I think one of them you have is pukka. The boot is a darker yellow and is the one on the left Cheers Kev Bod

I think TOJO was played at The Cats. Here's a picture of Max's copy I bought from him in about 1978. Cheers Kev Bod

Finishes on SUNDAY 21st December. Just in time for Christmas!! I hope the highest bidder can collect as you wouldn't want to risk the Christmas post

Excellent. Thanks for the reply. Please let us know about the future releases and tour dates.

Hi Mark, I bought previous vinyl release by Xiantoni and was very pleased with the excellent product and service. Will there be a vinyl version of the EP for sale? Regards Kev Bod

Also on Tim Brown auction. JM finishes on 22nd October and TB on 24th October.

JOTIS Records was Otis Redding and Jim Stewart. Only 4 releases produced by them. None with Otis as the main artist.
