Old Flyer 1979
I've seen a Topless Tony go for much more than its book price. But its not worth as much as a Bottomless Clarkie.

Crap Label Designs
What about Jay Walking - the red label logo looks like it was taken from a third generation photocopy. Although it does have a certain primitive charm! (says our art correspondent)

AMNESTY
For some odd reason I hate Kiss my love goodbye - Bettye Swann. I will have to own up and confess that I did play some right crap during those far off days at Yate, but as I was blocked at the time I couldn't help myself (honest)

Albert Jones "Up To The Sun"
Good to see this record getting some recognition at last. I first heard this in the mid 70s at ace Detroit collector, Dick Watt's house. I picked it up shortly after that for about for around 3/6d on Bumpshop. (the price of a good fish supper in those days) That's all really, I just wanted to boast about how cheap I got it for... Tony
