Craig Simpson replied to Chris Cameron's discussion 'How is the Mod scene in your Area ?'
"I Don't think its too bad Andy, i bought mine about 10 years ago for a fiver, but i reckon that you'll still pick it up for about £30. Do you want me to find you one?"

Profile Information

About Me:
Been an avid record collector since my early teens, starting with punk and Psychobilly but later maturing to rockabilly, black rock n roll, into Rhythm n Blues which kinds lead me on to the Mod scene in the early 90s where i got more of a taste for 60s freakbeat, psych, latin & the 'blow-up' kind of euro-pop club sounds. I've been guest Djing & promoting clubnights spanning 'Mod' styles, rhythm & blues, funk, reggae and rockabilly for the best part of 15 years, and have met many great people along the journey. Music is always on the agenda, pursuing new sounds, picking up 45s, and trading stuff with other dealers.

Top 5 tunes at the moment:
Always hard to pin it down to five, as i collect all styles of music. Here's five im likely to spin

1/ Reggae - Azie Lawrence - Pempelem
2/ R&B - Skip Robinson - I just Can't Wait
3/ Psych - The Golliwogs - Fight Fire
4/ Rockabilly - The Gee Cess - Buzz Saw
5/ Soul - Little Nicky Soul - I Wanted To Tell You
