I once came across a small clutch of Bell test presses including the Rosey Grier and Hal Miller OMOTF.

I wonder what they were used for?

Thought there was only one copie of the brenda Holloway jobette acetate (autographed at Bretby by her) sold by Pete Lawry to Simon Hunt ( Sharmo 1 on here ) about 15 years ago i know sharmo's still got it so who had the one you sold ? what size plate was it ? any B side .Respect .molly .xx

sold the two on ebay,probably 6 yr ago on ebay,both were 7 inch acetates and both single sided,the brenda holloway-lonely boy was beige with typed text and a big middle hole,where as the patrice acetate was a blue and white label with a small hole,again single sided,that acetate eas from a different company name.

theres at least two as I have one too. bought it six years ago after an allnighter in leipzig shortly before I went back to the hotel...a deal in a rush, which sometimes can proove the best ones. on looking back I must say I am quite happy I did that deal despite the vg at best condition. its not a jobete acetate but a motown 7inch acetate with the known look and feel to it, red and back typing.

Sadly not near my scanner, but how about two weird ones.

I think I have the only acetate in existence of Van McCoy's guide vocal on I Get The Sweetest Feeling. April Blackwood 1967. Ironically, I got it from Rich Rosen in 1978 for $3!

When I worked at Magic in Leeds in the 90's, I bought a DJ's collection from the 60's and found a EMI disc of Shotgun Wedding- Roy C!!

Proud to say that You'll Always Be In Style- Ad Libs came from me. Who has it now?

Hi Kev,

Quite an achievment getting a bargain off Rosen mate. The guy would skin a fart! :0)

Just while you mention Roy C, howabout this Rare issue.

Not an Acetate... but interesting...

Will put up a few UK Acetates in a mo.

Don't think I've ever offered these two up before:

  • Dotte Cambridge aka Dorothy Moore unissued double-sider...both good Northern!
  • Larry Banks GWP file copy.

:hatsoff2:
