This maybe a futile attempt but here goes: i'm looking to trade a lovely copy of Fluorescent Smogg's - All My Life on WG for an equally lovely copy of Sag War Fare's - Don't be Jive on Libra. ???

whoa heavy. I actually know someone who has the sag warfare and wants a flourescent smogg. don't know if he'll trade but i'll show him this thread.

I bet there's a few out there who would do that trade ?

Yup I would have done if I didn't have FS.

Well if there's anything in my box that might tempt you Steve

my friend is pissed because apparently he just sold his sag warfare and has been looking for FS for a long time, even contacting the group.

Hi Antony

You being from Antwerp ...you might like R&B ?, as many do over there , excuse my ignorance if not .

I have got shit loads of R&B a whole box which I would swap your FS if you are interested plus it would come to the best of homes and I would polish and smile at it every day and it would save me spending all that money so I could feed my 8 starving children.

Come on folks you can't blame me for trying..... Well it worked to get me Larry Laster from that lovely American chap

I was about to go ahead with your nice and heartfelt proposal until i read your last line. That sort of put of me off .... ..

I actually read it wrong with my 1st post ... I thought you had a sag war fare and wanted a F .smogg

Don't think I could swap even if I was lucky to own a sag war fare

Good luck with this and please don't take Carms post too seriously ,she's really a nice lady with a sense of humour

I know, its a tough one.., you sort of need both to feel..."complete"?. But the FS is my spare so i feel a bit greedy holding on to two of those. I just want Carmen to know (and never forget) that she almost scored my FS and then ruined it by running her mouth!.

Me and my big mouth thanks for your kind words Nev , Nige has told me after having it a bloody fornight that he has a CD from you to me .... can't believe he has only just remembered he has got it , and he still has it in Stafford !

Antony I hope you have sucess in getting your record.

Have sent you a pm few days ago

Thanks to all, for the effort. I have resolved my problem. Unfortunately it has cost me hard cash instead of my FS. but perhaps i'll offer that for trade again soon enough.., Best and have a lovely weekend

Well if you got a Sag War Fare you did well my friend.

What the hell is a Sag war Fare? I mean, what do the words mean?

Surface Action Group - a kind of navy commando unit I believe that go in and 'mix it up'. SAG Warfare (one word) then would make sense?

It's a group from orlando Pete.

Big thanks for sharing that info with us Antony ...

really pleased it was you who won the ebay copy ....a lot of overseas bidders left it alone when the seller insisted on putting full value on the package

That makes it the most expensive copy ever

Pleasure. I had it shipped to Miami. They repack, neutralize and forward so i wont pay taxes, It cost me dearly enough.., Bidding that much is usually a combination of impatience and stupidity.. and unfortunately i am aware but not in always in control. Still, no risk, no fun. But i'll be happy when it arrives..in one piece..

Well done mate. It's a nice record to have won.

Thanks mate, When i played the sag war fare to my wife yesterday her face dropped with disgust, i think the noise and crackle of the vinyl put her off immediately...., she replied by playing me Alex Clare - Too Close...., You cant have it all can you......,

Noise and crackle or did you mean noise and cackle when they go into the rap .lol

Good on you for the smart move shipping it to Miami ...almost like a home coming for the 45 eh

But seriously it did look like one of the best ever copies that's turned up so far ,can't believe it plays with crackle

sniping instead of bidding early removes a lot of the impatience and stupidity from the equation

what does "neutralize"ing the record mean?

@Steve, I never knew the SAG thing, thanks for the info

Here's my little addition, spoke to the daughter of the guy behind the record. He died a long time ago, his wife continued to live in the house for many years after, when she died the house was cleared and sold and anything to do with her fathers music business was thrown in a dumpster. I asked if she knew any of the other people involved in the group or if there were any other family members around that still might have a copy of the records, the reply was no.

Bob ... i would assume he means remove the customs packaging and info that was put on the parcel so the value info is no longer there

We should all have a pen friend in the USA who will be happy to provide this service

Nev , just let me know if you're still interested to buy my copy for 10000 £.......

......I need this money to buy me a new henhouse !

which is fine just as long as the buyer doesn't need to claim for a lost parcel...... Let's hope not.

This side was always rare - paid 300 for mine in 1997/8 ish I think at Victoria Record Fair. Boy there were some good records there.

300 in 1978 ... That would have been a months wages Steve !

Didn't know people were spending so much for records back then ??

I bought the clash lp for about £1

i remember them fairs Steve,found some great records there especially in the pop/rock section downstairs lol.Got a feeling i was offered that record,turned it down cos of the band title sounded pants/ like a rock record lol. Was the seller from Herts??

There`s been many over the years Nev . At the time,was doing `the Knowledge` so my head was jammed up with roads and things .

No Wayne sorry, it was in a "special" Soul Bowl box.

In all honesty I actually bought it for the slower side.

So was a `done deal` before you got there . I used to buy off John there,was always interested in the `special` sales box lol. looks like there may have been 2 copies at Victoria unless John got it in a trade?

I am sure there was only the one Wayne. I'd have questioned him about it if there were two copies in the same box. John got it from the States not a rock dealer at Victoria.

Sorry Steve, the one I was Talking about came fom Mike of St Albans. I can't remember if he actually had the record with him or knew where he could get hold of a copy.I just blanked it cos of artist. Name , kinda had more important things on me mind at time( see previous post with Nev) . Fair play you got this and F: Smog.

Mike from St Albans? He wouldn't have known it Wayne, no way. Think you may be getting confused with another title - Sag war fare was an unknown at the time (97 ish).

Edited June 9, 201213 yr by Steve G

I still find it hard to believe anyone would pay $300 let alone £300 for a copy of sag war fare in 1978 ?

I recall just recent post by Mark Dobson regarding the William Cummings 45 ,being so cheap cos it wasn't the right tune back in the mid 70's ?

You must have had a very good job or crazy with money to spend that much on a tune that unless I'm mistaken wasn't en vogue until after 2000 at the earliest ??

Nev what are you talking about 1978?

1997 you prune

Sorry Steve ,just realised my major cock up ...not 78 ,but 98 ..DOH !

Apologies for my impertinence

no worries Nev .....in time honoured tradition the "A side" wasn't quite 'right' back then

Sorry Steve ,just realised my major cock up ...not 78 ,but 98 ..DOH !

I was going to put you out of your misery Nev - but didn't!

I thought i would have caused that misunderstanding... I hope it is still finding its way to Miami Nev. It was that noisy, crackling and cackling youtube version that i played her.., She wasnt much impressed with the video either ;-) (neither was i with todays football i might add..) But it was a pleasure to read the entertaining discussion that followed below!))
