Sounds good, but I can't get it from that link. Ady

Moody sod, I'd been going since 1974 and always spent a fair bit with him and got on very well, then ten years down the line he accused me of bringing my record box in to nick stuff; I wasn't gonna leave it on the pavement outside. He nearly got lumped. I never went back. Got the first Jimmy Andrews out of there for $3

Thanks Tabs, I think you're right. I'll have to check when I list any more. Yep Saturday was good and great to see you as ever. Ady

My listing isn't allowing a foreigner to bid. It says it's on Ebay UK only. How can I change this please? Ady

Wot he said!

Thanks everyone, most helpful. I went for the Swanflight 100, the records will be safe now as long as I don't get pissed and leave them on a bus! Ady

Can't find a decent one on Amazon or Ebay Ady

There have been 79 schools of thought on the George Jackson issue and it's been on and off ever since it came out. However ony rouce and Dean Rudland played it to George when they met him and he said he wasn't on lead but is on the backing vocals, so he's there somewhere. He couldn't remember who the lead was. We press 400 copies of the single approx. I agree with Russ about the Judy Clay and also believe its flip, Johnny Taylor's version of Please Let Me In is magnificent too, both sides could go massive one day.

Kent's memory ain't the best but I'll ask. I had a feeling the guys in the photo were just local chaps who looked cool, not particularly musicians

Oi, Russ didn't play a CD set, we didn't have one set up.

It would depend on the crowd that was in and the theme of the night and the history of the venue. I'll be playing a different set at Lifeline to Sunday night at Cleethorpes.

That's the one, I think Sam was playing it recently. Has yours got the BT on the flip? Mine's an uncatalogued one with a funky flip, not sure if they're the same version.

Is it biggish for Sam yet? Should I spin it at Lifeline or does anybody else play it up there?

Could anyone loan a very good or better copy to Ace for dubbing please? Ta Ady

My mate Denbo just told me about how a big downloading type company was claiming all sorts of copyrights that hadn't been claimed by anyone else and was getting them registered as owners on You Tube to get the revenue from them. I was worried this was related.

No worries Bob, we don't need them for the current project. What the hell's this about? How can a company remove an image they don't own the copyright to? The label design and wording is owned by Kent Harris.

I don't think any of them are Aileen Frances and the Francettes, it was some wrong discographical info. I think it's either or. Would love to see your alternate Besche design Bob

One last try, there must be a few copies lying about. Ady

Thanks, but that's the only one I don't need!

I'm guessing these are all pretty hard.

Thanks Robb, it turns out we own the master as part of the Bernie Besman deal for the Sensation label. You buy John Lee Hooker and you get girl group as a bonus! there were a couple of unissueds too. Any chance of sending the scans to me as an attachment for future use please. Is there a story to how and where you picked this one up? Ady

Anyone got it, or the Kentone one by the Francettes?

I'd love to see any of their 45s except Romark 1006 and 106; Where Did You Stay Last Night, Someday I Won'T Be Blue.

No and it's just as well it didn't come out on a Kent 45 or I'd be in for a Lifeline lynching!

Incidentally I've noticed Butch playing Toni & The Showmen recently. We put it out on Kent 4 years ago because of the demand for it (and we own the label) and it's still available. If Butch can go with a sound like that that is in the shops, I don't see why other DJs can't carry on playing their originals of sounds that have been re-released. At OVO dos which is mainly the venues they attend, nobody is gonna be playing the reissues. However I'm more than happy to play the Hopkins Bros at a general soul party or evening piss-up do (not the likes of Solid Hit) and maybe a dancer will enjoy it, ask what it is, look into the story behind it and be a convert to the scene or at least enjoy some of it. Stranger things have happened.
