I don't know, as LP's came first I assumed they just carried on with the same runout stamp for 45's?

'Long' Play False Back. The flip side of these test "White Label - Not For Sale" - pieces of vinyl have a test tone that plays continually

Let's hope we see this legal reissue played at venues

No, it isn't cultural appropriation. You might want to check the definition of it. That analogy is incorrect. The black and white minstrels or white people sporting dreads, yes. White people listening to or playing black music, no. That's cultural appreciation.

Could it be that there were hardly any sales because of low press runs? Not exclusively, admittedly. When the scene throws around terms like 'discovered by' or 'first played by' it reeks to me of DJ ego and is frankly nonsense as they were neither discovered by or first played by us Brits and it could be argued is disrespectful to the original artists and producers who created the music in the first place. Rediscovered yes, discovered no.

"Those recordings were not wanted by the people they recorded them for." Really? Of course they were wanted, there was clearly a demand and sales, just a combination of small pressing runs, poor resources, funding and promotion. Let's face it the NS scene also 'appropriates' from other genres that's not a criticism just a factual observation.

He's also selling a legit John & The Weirdest which ends tonight https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335199625870?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZQ5z446yTgO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=RbQp7EHTSKy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Never had a problem with tracked and insured

I would only send to Spain via Tracked and Insured. Had too many problems with items going "missing" with standard postage

Just the backing track

Won't affect the vast majority, inheritance tax only applies to the extremely wealthy, about 3.8% of the UK population, so sell away!

Maybe it's a marketing ploy to drive traffic to the website

If the figures being bandied about are ridiculous, why is he asking £150k for it? I get he can ask what he likes for it, but £150k? Now that is ridiculous.

A write up from the liner notes re. The Locomotion

There were a couple of compilations released last year; 17 FROM MORDEN – A Path Through The Forest Of OAK Records 1964 – 1967 From Morden to Wimbledon A Trip Through the Forest Of OAK Records 1967 – 1970 I'll dig them out and see if I can post the liner notes. Sold a copy of the A-Jaes last year but no nothing about the band
