Actually, I've thought of more tips for Francis. While those nu groove comps wouldn't be a bad place to start, if I remember rightly, they're aren't cheap these days (£20?). Alot of the ep's are available for relatively cheap, and it may be worth taking a gamble on a few I'd say?
Francis, Russ and Duncan (who got a load of it off Russ) are the men to speak to really. Russ knows pretty much everything there is to know about old house music. and duncan just has a shed load of it at home. (come up one night, I can show you the delights of the red lion and we cna ransack duncs records) Also, Vinyl get loads of Nu Groove, and you can pick bits up too, for say a fiver or so. Might be worth having a trawl about and listening to a few on a sunday or something. or check the site while at work www.vinylexchange.co.uk also, the friendly peeps at Vox Pop had some Chi/NYC bits lately, infact I think I got something on NuGroove from them a week or two ago? www.voxpoprecords.com Failing that, surfing the information superhighway (thats the internet, not teletext) could bring some positive results. You often find little shps hidden away in daft towns like loughborough or something that have the entire back catalogue at £4 a throw. Meanwhile, I'm waiting on more Burrell tips to find the ones I'm missing that are good.
