Hi Salmon, It was Ray Jimenez on Columbia, c/u as Nicky Newbery

Stand corrected mate!

Miller Sisters, Guy's Vonettes c/u originally

Turks and Freddie North both Dave Thorley mate.

True, fortunately we were a bit younger, so the extra RPM's were manageable (just!)

Anyone mentioned the Citations? Little Ron & Esquires as Sims Twins Charles Mann Hey Little Girl King George-Midtown Headlines and Penny North on Luau Oscar Perry-Face Reality-Feron Trennells-Blessed With A Love

No bootleg I'm afraid.

I sold one earlier this year on here for double that (and a bit more).

Rob had the acetate from Keb when he (Keb) sold up.

John Manship has one on auction at the moment (no pun intended)!

On Century City, I've got one somewhere, what's your price?

Well it has been out the bag for a long time Phil, and I havent been out much lately.

First played by Andy Rix or Rob Thomas, Arthur Fenn and Marco Santucci also have it and maybe a few others have it now, great record by the way.

Try selling it at £40, I struggled to get £15.

Issue does exist, harder than demo, Butch has an unreleased take that came from Mr Raistrick years back, which is quite different to the Argo release.

W/D is west coast isn't it?

Where you could buy mint unplayed store stock of Fab Apollos "Some Good...." as mentioned in other thread for £3.

What about the Ray Pollard it's even worse, these people must've had their brains removed!

Try selling it and see! Didn't Kitch sell one a while back? Never heard it played out much at all, prefer the Conquistadors "Can't Stop Lovin' You" myself, both seem to be hard these days.

No it's just not as rare as some of the other releases.

Being that there were at least 3 different chicago pressings, would suggest it sold well enough locally to tempt Wand into releasing it, why they never went beyond demo stage is probably the same reason why a lot regional "hits" picked up by fairly big labels faltered, mob money, tax write-off, or lack of funds.

Nor mine....vinyl not styrene.....

I'm in agreement with you there Rod, the only "Oldies" that Rob was into was rare soul and whatever 60's newies were called before they were thus named! Mind you he did love classic stompers..is that another thread.

on a slightly different tack, were MGM uk demos R/W?, yes they were sorry, just checked! they changed to pink/silver in '67 along with other EMI changes.

In a word, yes. swirl design blue & gold.
