Hi all ..

A little help please if you could ? I've just come across a copy of Jimmy James & the Vagabonds ( spelt Jimmie on the label ) Red red wine / Who could be loving you on an Australian ASTOR label . A little research on the net dosn't really throw up much info about its release other than its Australian ! Label is back with a yellow diamond and its release number is AP-1581 . I could possibly scan a photo if thats any help ?

atb & thanks in advance

Jeff

It's just a straight Aussie issue of the UK Pye single Jeff. Astor issued product from loads of UK labels.

Thanks Pete ..

Shant be booking my two weeks in Dubai just yet then lol

Nah fraid not. Obviously there are people who collect these 45's, if it had been This Heart Of MIne you'd have got a good price for it!

Just in case any one wanted to see a scan ..

here's one of the better Aussie Astors, Spyders on MTA... and the brill Ebony Keys from the Pye stable..

Ebony Keyes, hmm never liked this but that Spyders is eye-popping! What a find.

my mate found an eboney keyes on astor for peanuts and sent it to JM to auction and got what i would say is the best price on this 45 in any shape form or fashion

What do you think of it Dave, as a kind of 'connoisseur' of this type of record (i.e. UK produced Northern) I think this is a terrible record

i kinda like it ..never gonna be an all time fave but i dont dislike it,,,,i wouldnt pay any money for it. never had a uk copy. i had 3 german pye copies in p/s all bought for a couple of euro each and moved them on for good profit and at the moment i have an italian pye copy with orig sleeve which is cool that cost nothing....that may go when a decent want comes along but ive had that quite a few years now..maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10 45 imvho

It is a nice Label, I recently acquired Bettye Swann. Been looking out for a copy for ages.

I sure did Dave JM got about £260 for it . Never seen another since. I,ve also had 3 German 1 Italian and 2 Turkish copies which together made about the same as the copy on Astor.

I have this too Roger.

Don't know if you've noticed... its a different take with no backing vocals!

HI ALL The OZ copy is the same as the CONTEMPORARES ain't it? also the great PYE LP LONDON SWINGS, has extra trax, again not positive about this "this heart of mine" is on the ASTOR OZ LP?
