Ian Seaman

Only 6 stone ya lying get i had some of them 42" patchwork jeans, jesus they were that heavy i had to wear a belt and braces to keep the buggers up, round the back of the left leg was a crotch area complete with working zip, one night outside the Casino some knob head DS pulled the zip down, put his hand in, grabbed my leg and said "whats this in here then" - pillock Oh and a nice bowling shirt to match, shoes were called sellatio's i think, brown and maroon were in vogue, and as Malc said a leather bomber to top it off Ian.

A mate has heard this at 2 or 3 Yorkshire Northern venue's recently so somebody is giving it some !

What a stomper this is !! Not heard it out but been told it has picked up a lot of plays recently, anyone know who or where ??

Yeah i would say the Blue ones came out 1st, the orange were the re issues, the blue one always seems to make more money and if you ask around i bet 7 out of 10 peeps have an orange one !! Grapvine stuff seems to be selling at a vast array of different prices these days I noticed Sam plays Flame n King off Grapevine

T D Valentine sold now thanks.

Royal Esquires & Betty Lavette sold now thanks.

Great tune, needs more plays imho

anyone know who all these bidders are on ebay. ie. m***s, a***l , w***n, etc etc etc ???

If you look at the 2 lines on the boot they are higher in comparison to the centre of the record, on the original they are central and equal to the centre hole don't think the thin vinyl bit is right cos i have had thick & thin ones.

wheres he from mate ??

Cheers Simon, didn't realise it was so close , Ian.

A mate of mine wants to read up on the Shrine story. Last time i read it , it was on the Washington Post website but thats gone now Anyone got a link to and any emailable info i could have please Ta. Ian.

Think the blue bootleg had Italic writing on Uptite bit, original was in capitals and had 2 lines, although last of the 3rd presses was in Italic too !! all were vinyl and flat run in's Ths stamp is very hard to see and make out on a lot of copys as it looked like it missed or was stamped on a bad angle. Original vinyl was flat too, the bootleg had a bevelled run in JM guide says original blue copys were thin vinyl but i have had thick & thin ones. the last boot had a bright blue label and was styrene.

always wondered about that pic, there seems to be a lot of people just standing about on the dance floor !!! Weren't we a bunch of ugly muthas back then I met my 1st wife there and she always claimed to be in the pic, i can't see her but then again i don't want to Angela Mularkey from preston, anyone know her ? or see her in the pic ??

This is getting more plays out now, i have heard it at a few venues recently, Skeggy, Horncastle, Notts area venues and seen it on a few playlists on other forums. It,s an 80,s recording, 1st played by Paul Seward from Barnsley i think !! Paul has some fantastic stuff and spends a lot of time searching for new stuff and finds loads of new good soul records from all over europe etc, mostly pic sleeve stuff too, he,s gotta be one of the best in this country for digging stuff out !! Anyway enough blowing of his trumpet what do you think of it ???? Just doesn't do it for me at this moment, i have a demo and have played it loads of times to try to get into it but just can't It,s not a pricey sound, seen it at £5 and £20 recently. Over to you lot !!

Good luck to you Sue If you can get more for them then good on ya, as long as people know what there are getting it,s ok in my book, i list reissues on ebay sometimes they sell for £2 sometimes more and some a lot more, all the luck of the draw

Ohio Players version LP only, was on 2 LP's (Superpak & 16 Greatest Hits) TB version is same, she was singer with OP her 45 release is a re issue Another good version is Herman Hitson, played late on at Wigan by Richard Searling, also unreleased, now on a CD of his, i have it on an acetate to play out. The great Sam Williams version too on Tower records although have been told there is no such person as SW !!! Ian.

And by that i meant that she had a sound file, was happy with it so she knew what she was getting so no need to sort of thing !!

Did you not offer her a full money back guarentee if she wasn't happy ?? you normally do mate !! Ian.

£81 at the moment, got to be one of the worst bootleg pressings out there for sound quality !!!

Alston Ken, you sure ??? Ian.
