this was discussed here recently, but mike noriega was close.

[Tricky]

As per telly last night the Yanks may not have put a man on moon!Andys hopes put back.

[Ted Massey]

Mick H has

Mick H had

[Chalky]

Martin Adams has one apparently.

[Marc Forrest]

A "buyer from the states" has, Martin Adams has, Andy Rix and Tim Brown are/were close. A millionaire from Japan tries really hard to get one accomplished. Andy and Tim may have sold some bits lately so they might be not as close as they used to be ?

wonder who`s feeding JM with those tasty Shrine bits at the moment though... one of the above mentioned or somebody else ?

The Japanese fella has been offering silly money to Martin for his collection..... Watch this space!

[Phild]

I had them all with the exeception of Bill Dennis.

I let The Counts go this summer though, so now I'm two short

Some of them are crap through

"Japanese fella" needs to hit me up

[Gene-R]

I'm sure Nick Brown has (or had) a near complete Shrine collection.

[Chalky]

Think the question was "has anyone got a full set" not who is close.

Andy Rix has them all albeit one is in pieces.

How many was Tim short? He's sold some now hasn't he?

[Andreas B]

Doesn't Honky have the complete Shrine catalog, or was I dreaming that?

[Guest]

ooooBob have you got the full collection including the Prophets?

remember being at a party in north London in the 9ts, for one of the 100 club regulars and Nick and dawn Dj'd... I asked him about the shrine stuff and he handed me a pile of 10 or so records, all the big ones...first and last time I'll ever be in close contact with them I guess... it was quite a sight I can tell you.

And I know were talking about the full set...

think the counts was missing at least he offered to buy mine

[Dave Pinch]

john manship had a full set up until a few weeks ago when the counts went.....although he`s probably selling them for a third party...wonder who that is

[Andy Rix]

I've got them all still.... As we all know The Counts is in bits but nobody said are they all playable !!

[Tony Smith]

Counts?

Prophets?

Cavaliers?

J.D. Bryant?

Bill Dennis?

The 1st three weren't even known when Nick was collecting Shrine, so I'd say it was far from complete.

Ha! HA! I think that's quite an understatement. Several are really very, very good. But quite a few of the other cuts are "drek" (as we say in Holland). They are "worshipped" because of their rarity.

[Pomonkey]

Ray Pollard and the Chansonettes, rest are filler

the chansonettes is probably the worst one (and I even own it so I'm not talking down stuff I don't have).

no, japanese dude needs to hit me up if he wants to buy a massive collection of all the remaining records he's not specifically looking for...

I disagree. Chansonettes, Enjoyables, both sides of The Cairos (particularly Don;'t Fight It) are great as is Cautions (No Other Way, deffo NOT Watch Your Step which is at best mediocre). Eddie Daye is pretty great too. I alternate between loving and hating The Counts which is why I let it go. But some days I really miss it

19 I forgot to count 100!

Jimmy Armstrong "I'll Believe I'll Live On" is unissued.

[Ted Massey]

Just counted and i had 14 so it wasnt unlucky 13 got 6 now. the least i paid and the first i bought was Cautions watch your step of Dave Rastrick for 10 quid and the most £700 DC Blossoms. Think Andy got them for next to nothing ( i might be wrong btw ) but loads of trans altantic phone calls

Sure I got a WYS off Dave too, £4 or £5! No that was £10, Epsilons was £4!

Epsilons......is this the easiest to acquire?

Flip watch your step over for isn't it right, (i told JM about it at the Stute), a great 45 , wish i had the Prophets - one gold piece, the best record on the label IMHO

Shirley Edwards is one of the greatest records ever made

& it's my wifes fav. record

[Jumpinjoan]

No way? I love it!!

[Samplat]

If someone is collecting the whole lot don't you have to include the mispress

[Tony Smith]

If someone is collecting the whole lot don't you have to include the mispress

And the remixed versions!

[boba]

for the record, in order to not be all negative (the chansonettes is terrible), here are my favorite cuts on shrine (there are still some other good ones, but these are my favorite):

Cautions - Watch your step

Epsilons - both sides

DC Blossoms - I know about her

Cairos - stop overlooking me

Eddie Daye and the four bars - guess who loves you

Cautions - poor loser

Prophets - huh baby

Enjoyables - shame [wish i had this one!]

Cavaliers - Tighten up

[Guest Bearsy]

wish i owned the whole mediocre awful filler label run would settle for just seeing the lot of them together

[Dave Pinch]

Cairo's filler?

its no silhouettes thats for sure

[Dave Pinch]

Yep the easiest i got mine for £30 (think it charted in the USA), then leroy taylor takin my time

no never charted or anything silly like that but i agree theres been more on ebay than any other shrine 45....the hem release is better and much rarer by todays standards imho
