I think Shifty was moving them on after most people were aware that there was quantity.

Aren't these something to do with Neil Rushton?

You have to meet him in person and ply him with Red Wine.

I've heard this played at a Northern do - the Metrodome in Barnsley to be exact, and it was by a female DJ - Sam Evans I think she's called? Great record but wrong place, wrong time IMO - however, it was funny watching the Roxy Threads and Circle Skirts doing the slidey side to side dance to a uppy-downy record... a bit like watching a piece of film with with the wrong soundtrack.

That's the one.

It's called Stiffed - I still have your copy here - about two-thirds read...

John Anderson has a great tale about a big distributers just outside Philadelphia, where he was buying tea-chest size crates, contents unchecked as they were coming in off the trucks returning them.

There were plenty of shenanigans going on with distribution. The cut-out resale scam, where records were bought at sale prices then taken back to another distributer for a full refund was rife (and a way the mafia laundered a lot of money) - to the point where drill holes / cut corners and label paint/stamps were introduced to prevent it.

Lamont Cranston is the alter ego of "The Shadow", a popular pulp book/radio serial from the 1930s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow My head is full of useless crap like this - it's a good job I've never used it for the power of evil...

Dave, your must have put the wrong auction number in... the number above takes you to this auction: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180729607536?

You'd be looking at around £20 - £25 for an issue. Never seen a demo - were these demo'd? - be interested in seeing one if so.

Today it was Brad Lundy - I'm At The Breaking Point.

Issue or demo? Which label? Globes or Block Title?

mine is still available for offers.

Rent a car online for the best rate, bearing in mind that they will try and sell you 1001 different insurance add ons if you book when you arrive. Also rent one with an 'empty tank' - that way you can return it empty - and they won't charge you the earth to refill it. You can turn right at red lights so long as there isn't a sign on the light telling you otherwise (obv giving way to any traffic).

My number one want for my collection - but unfortunately too much for my pocket at the minute - think it was a bit ott as well to be honest.

not a chance.

I've never heard of this happening. U.S. flights - you can carry just about as many 45s as you can fit in your hand luggage - it's down to size not weight. It's the budget airlines you've got to be careful with - they like to scrape every penny they can in additional charges, hence the weight limits.

You can get about 60 - 70 through as hand luggage on most budget airlines, even in a sturdy (and heavy) Swanflight box (just under 10 kgs). There are loads of 7" record "bags" on the market it's just down to personal preference.

Mike, Thought this was some kind of Northern Soul / S&M crossover thread. Pah.

Here's a true story that I've been dying to tell, and this thread is as good a place as any, and it sums up the 'parallel scenes' for me... A female friend told me this - she's been attending Northern nights since the 70s, mainly an Oldies fan but not close minded.. and it made her cringe. Whilst at a local 'oldies' do she was approached by a woman in her 50s wearing a circle skirt etc, who complimented her on her dancing. She got chatting to this woman, and was told that it was the first Soul night that she had attended and that her friend had told her about Northern, and she was planning to visit her first Weekekender (Skeg) but only ... cue muted trumpet... wahwahwaaah....after her friend had shown her how to dance 'Northern'.. In a nutshell it's full of middle aged Divs, who are aware that it is a 'sociable' scene, and think that they are taking a dip in the fountain of youth by singing along to Lynn Randell. And for that reason I'm out.
