Premium Stuff

The old Sandpiper club in the Nottingham lace market for me was the Damned - plus loads at that place at the time - S & Banshees, Stiff Little Fingers, Dickies (US), and the Ruts were especially good live Missed the pistols there under a pseudonym but hey!

The Damned in their early phase - pre TOTP - were great - and great live too Good to see Ace releasing more of this kind of stuff. Cheers Richard

It only takes 2 nutters on ebay - so as long as they are both still alive I will be able to sell I reckon. Cheers Richard

Produced by Burgess Gardner and Monk Higgins. Arranged by Burgess Gardner. Cheers Richard

Think he means demos Pete - but even those on both labels designs are fairly easily picked up. Cheers Richard

Tim Brown has one on auction just now - just recently listed and minimum bid £500 It's written by Popcorn Wylie. His Ala-King company is in on the publishing credits - but he's not credited for production or arrangement on the label - those credits go to others. The auction write up says it's Barbara Acklin on vocals. Cheers Richard

Dunno - but the pic in the middle is a grand piano - any clue there? Cheers Richard

Dave - I meant the 'Scott's On Swingers' single sided mate - not 'Agent 00-Soul' - there's a single and double sided version of 'Scott's On Swingers'. Mind you, the 'Agent 00-Soul' is pretty rare too Cheers Richard

This is the local Detroit press I believe - same kind of label as Sharon McMahan and the Gambrells - with an 803 prefix I have this variation and a few others but not my scan (lifted from internet). Cheers Richard

:lol:

Plus, there was another one on aBay only a couple of weeks ago Cheers Richard

No mate - I think it's just more eBay madness (and a nice clean copy) Cheers Richard

Single sided Scott's on Swingers (with the blank side) is pretty rare I would say. Cheers Richard

Have this somewhere - it's not very good I don't think - the scan is not my copy it's from a quick google Cheers Richard

That Otis Clay is brilliant Cheers Richard

OK - I'm up to track 10 - The Pied Piper Players "That's What Love Is" - what an absolutely awesome track - it's got me tingling with gosebumps - brilliant That Rose Batiste is also sooooo good! Cheers Richard

Look on this link and tell me which one mate and I will see if I have a spare on that label design. There are a couple of different blue ones with lines https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=capitols+cool+jerk+karen&hl=en&tbo=d&rlz=1C1SVEA_en-GBGB472GB473&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ygwMUarXJIqb1AWPsYCwCQ&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAA&biw=1920&bih=955 Cheers Richard

Also got mine this morning - thanks Ady It's a lovely promo copy with a really nice embossed promo stamp on the cover - brilliant stuff The booklet and other artwork is just fabulous - love it - very smart Just about to give it a first play - and I can't wait to read all the info in the booklet Cheers Richard

I find the Detroit connecion to Darrow's work interesting. On Jacklyn there was "What Good Am I Without You" - Mike Terry etc. On Groovy there was "Gotta Draw The Line" which was a Solid Hitbound Production. Any others please? Cheers Richard

Sure Robb - no problem Richard

Rose Batiste WDJ easily the toughest out of those two as far as my experience goes I have had a few Please Let Me in WDJ's (maybe even still have a spare) Not seen that many Rose Batiste's - have one but would like a minter Richard

Hi everyone I know it might be a long shot but Little Ann - What Should I Do (Kent) came out on a DJ copy. Would really like one of those. Any one of you lucky people willing to part with yours please? Please just PM me if you can help Cheers Richard

This is a little project for me at the weekend mate - on the 'to do' list and will send you the sound files Cheers Richard

Dunno mate - maybe Robb knows? Cheers Richard

I also have a record on Dynamics D-1101 by Johnny Adams. It is on a silver label, with black print, and has a similar design to some of the other releases with 'Dynamics' in a box. The label address is shown as 5603 16th Street, Detroit. Titles are 'I'm Grateful' and 'Going To The City'. This was also released on the Gone label. Never been sure about it's provenance, date, originality etc. on Dynamics. Cheers Richard
