One for the pessimists: Bill Withers - Better Off Dead

Not to my knowledge... Just one person sat on a shed full of em according to the rumour-mill.

I'd recommend getting the UK copy as it has a decent track on the flip - all US copies I've come across are same side demos.

Suprised that I've not seen any mention of this.... https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/obituar...1,1655550.story

Buy copies of "You've Got To Pay The Price" Gloria Taylor - but only different label variations.

Defo Rock & Roll... Not good RNR either, i.m.h.o.

Last track for sale? PM me...

Ditto... but for 2 years....

Bought Sheila Ferguson "Are You Satisfied" about 15 years ago... Heard Roger Banks playing "And In Return" at the Beehive (?) in Bradford a few years ago... got home and there it was on the shelves. What a cracking Result.

It's the Philips copy of Mama that you want... (unless you like the really early Rock & Roll stuff)

Don't know - was passing through to Queen Vic on Saturday tea-time. Had to get someone to pop their head through to confirm I wasn't hearing things due to my weekends excesses.

Tony Clark - Landslide In the Modern room at Prestatyn.

Yep, B-side is different on this to the French/UK issues, but is also on the LP. Was commenting on the rarity of the private press/1st press rather than the tracks availability on other labels/issues. Anyway, it's tucked in nicely next to my other V.O.E.H releases now.

Rod, I have some french Motown EPS - I'll have a quick look through on my return from Prestatyn. Techniques is on UK Treasure Isle Uniques is on UK Island Heptones is on UK Coxsone Good luck with trying to find any of the three on Mintish copies - Uk Reggae/Ska usually turns up in less than VG condition.

I'd query your figures on that - I'd be suprised if it sold more than 100,000 copies... Most of which probably ended up over here in the 70s.

In Pittsburgh they were booting records at the time of their release... (cheaper to press your own than buy them in?) Question is - why not boot a high selling 45? - there's obviously a market for it. Didn't Raymona Gordy boot Motown 45s whilst they were selling the originals as well?

I reckon this has got to be a hard one - E.H.F.Y.A stands for "East Harlem Flatbush Youth Association"

'Cloakroom Kenny' had one of these - swears it's original but I reckon it could be a 60s boot from Pittsburgh... it's definately on Vinyl, and not Styrene like all other Ric Tics.

Not worth the current Manship rating of £100..... £25 should get you one.

They ought to show this clip to Joss Stone, Beyonce, Mariah Carey et al... and then show them where to pick up their UB40s...

what about em?

Just turned up this track - no markings on the label - it's obviously some kind of test pressing as it's not an acetate. Can anyone identify the singer and the song? Cheers. unknown___Quick_Snippet___.mp3

Gawd Help Ya....

Am I the only person who finds Myspace a bit, erm, Lame? Surely it should be renamed ME!ME!ME!Space

Very few origianl TOTP preformances survived the sixties - they were recorded over as tape was so expensive. The stuff you see on You Tube and TV programmes like "Sounds of the 60's" usually comes from the German show The Beat Club.
