The pictures are upside down because you held your phone/camera upside down while taking the photos. Use the rotate function in windows photo viewer to turn them the right way round.

I would have left that Radio Station sticker on mate - it's part of the history, gives it 'provenance', and looks better than the picture in post #69 where it has been removed.

Good man - I used to hate anything on record labels (stickers, writing) and then somehow changed my mind totally and really love the various adornments that there are on labels - mainly on DJ copies of course - especially official stamps, stickers, dated etc. I often seek out these things now

Here's what came through the door in december....On an RnB early soul tint.

Willis Sanders and his Embers Honey-Bun Unart records. United Artists Doo wop rnb mover. great stuff.

The Cliques I wanna know why Modern ( blue issue ). RnB, group sound mover.

Jimmy McCracklin The Walk Checker. Old standard still sounding fresh.

Buddy Knox Ling-Ting-Tong Liberty. Later, Big city feel production of this cover of the Five Keys.( just searched this on the tube, and the only versions i could find sound nothing like the 45 i have, which is a relief.)

Bobby Hendricks I'm a big boy now Sue. Bit of a mover, with a feel of Bobby Adams' Don't leave.

D. Graham and the Crackers "the Big Al Walk" Dymo demo. Great drivin' Brass throughout on this up beat Instrumental belter.

Ray Charles Eleanor Rigby ABC-tangerine. ( Love this version from Ray, Full of soul and muchly under appreciated.)

What a tune ! I bought the 12 when it came out. It's the only song I know that has one verse and nothing else, not even. A chorus. So good, I played it on my radio show two weeks ago !

I used to think this (well still do really) but Royal Mail have to pay Customs & Excise to release the mail on our behalf, so obviously they have to get that back, not sure what the handling charge is for though
