Continuing the need to purge 45¢Å¾¢s from the sales boxes to bring in new I have listed a few tasty tunes that you can wrest from me for the right price. Conscious that getting valuations right is difficult in tough times, you have the chance to offer what you can pay, quite simply if it¢Å¾¢s near or on my sales valuation you get the 45. REASONABLE OFFERS ONLY. I have added Manship¢Å¾¢s book price as a guide only to assist your sums, at worst I can only say no!!! Please don¢Å¾¢t take the mick, it¢Å¾¢s a genuine opportunity for both the seller and buyer to get something from it. If you want a laugh there¢Å¾¢s plenty of auction sites offering so called rarities and getting well over book prices. I¢Å¾¢ve added as many scans and sound files as SS will allow, happy to send sound files or scans not included here. Conservative gradings as well! Please PM to reserve, I will reply to all.

Just thought I'd remind everyone why the post started!

Would like a decent original copy of the brilliant Ska tune, Ken Parker - I can't hide - Treasure Isle. Thank you, Lee

If I am not mistaken he also claims for those high maintenance eyebrows as well!

Bought a copy of a Lovables track on Toot a few years back, only to find this smashing miniature promo shot came with it. Regards, Lee

Another satisfied customer!!!

Kev, many thanks for confirming the Delta dating, ties in with earlier suggestions. Roger, I tend to side with your west coast theory, it's the likeliest explanation as to why all those copies I have seen in scans have not matched this one, only when Richard posted his scan earlier was there a match. As a Detroit 45 is there some sense in there not being much demand for this style of soul on the west coast, its not typical, perhaps it went west some time after its earlier successful issue, no need for a white demo, but a need to get Dj's to plug it hence the addition of details to the label and as such a much smaller run than you see in the other label designs. Pure speculation of course! Just glad the x appears on the instr side, couldn't stomach the idea of the vocal being 2nd best... Gene, appreciate your comments as well, all of this is helpful. Regards to all, Lee

Richard, took your advice to go through the archives (tried before but perhaps didn't scroll down enough). Me and my missus (who detests my love for this stuff) fell off our chairs with laughter. Simple question turns into world war 3, unless of course all the main players to the string really, you know, REALLY like each other but don't want to let on? Must admit, it puts me off wanting to engage in any forum. The only shred of comfort I got from it was the orange label Alan Pollard had, it's about the only decent Detroit 45 I didn't sell him!!! If I knew then what I know now! Of course, not knowing the answer to my own question puts that statement into contrasting perspective. Regards, Lee

Richard, Ken, Julian, thanks for takin' the time to reply. I have attached the scan of the topside (vocal), the flip is exactly the same as Richard's offering. In the close up I can see the delta number 64973 is exactly the same. Finally, at least I can compare something to mine. I don't have the reference to deltas numbers, my old fanzines that contain them are in the loft so I'll assume the delta number holds the key. Richard, I get your point a white one would have saved me some concern! Thank you again and regards, Lee

Ken, many thanks, Lee

I am looking for some advice concerning a copy of Luther Ingram on HIB that I have to clarify if it is an original or other! As you'll all appreciate it's titled "If its all the same / Exus trek". Before we run down a rabbit hole I would make it clear that I have studied John Manships latest price guide, which does a good job of covering all the "known" variants of this label. I have also visited the popsike site to cross check the label against all the scans available and there are about 40-50, both John and Popsike show boot, repro, 2nd issue variants. Neither Johns guide or Popsike has any label scan that matches what I have. I've had a previous copy but can't locate my scan. I will upload a scan of it later today, but for now the details are: Green label, styrene, title at the top with (Wylie) under, HIB Records running vertical on left side with Detroit address under, artist name at the bottom with distribution by Atco plus address under on 2 lines, The right side is where it all gets confusing, record number 698 with publishing, track time and record serial number under. Above that block it says PLUG SIDE, beneath it says PROMOTIONAL NOT FOR SALE on 2 lines. Remember its a Green label that does not correspond to any label I have seen. I appreciate there is a raised X on green copies (can't remember if vinyl or styrene), although there is no mention of a raised X on white demos, is there an MR stamp on these? This copy has a etched delta number. In lieu of an X it has MR machine stamped in, presumably Monarch, who I believe were West Coast. Whats bizzare is it has everything that every other label design has on one label, but its a green, stamped PROMO Copy. Any help? Lee
