I reckon you're not too far out Mate as far as true value is concerned. Seen a few at 700 and walked away. Go back later....still there. I'd pay 350 for MINTER and have had that offer turned down a couple of times. No dramas....I'll wait a few years and pick it for even less. Plenty more to keep me hunting/going until then.

Yep, just popped by to say congratulations an a great interview. Enjoyed reading it immensely. Nice one.

In our house there's no such descriptions. We do however have our own descriptions....Guddies and Shyties.

Valid point I reckon. When I started collecting I didn't have a credit card. (Not many did! ) Over the years, I've managed to keep my family finances and my vinyl fund separate. NEVER bought a 45 on a credit card. Can see how that could lead to some disastrous 'deaf and dumb' dinners at home though! I think credit cards and the influx of people who have returned to collecting and want to DJ are two of the main catalysts for the high prices of averagely rare 45s over the last decade or so. With the credit crunch about to bite big time in the next 2 years, maybe we'll see the bubble burst? Can't see why vinyl collecting should be any different from other parts of the economy.

Here's a peek inside this latest issue... ">

And it's ALL in full glossy colour - Just how it should be. I'll let SS subscribers know when their copies are in the mail.

Hi Doug, Stop bootlegging and I'll willingly sign your petition.

Yep, you're right. Could be another John Atkinson. I've edited the reference to him accordingly.

JOHN - PAY THE GUY HIS MONEY YOU TIGHT GIT! YOU MADE A MISTAKE - DO THE RIGHT THING AND PUT IT RIGHT.

Even if the seller made a genuine mistake - FULL REFUND is the ONLY action he should take. Advertised as original. It's not - simple. Full refund or name and shame so we can avoid him.

I'll STILL take the skip Cunningham at 20 inc postage to UK.

Don't wish to get involved in a slanging match. What people do and how they do it is their business. Perhaps someone from the 'organisation' that is asking for our support could elaborate on their bootleg policy. Not just playing them but 'make your own CDs' in a completely bogus/sly way that tries to slip the copyright issues.

Same people who operate the Bootlegging site on the other (Charity Auction) thread. Can't sign I'm afraid. Bootleggers are bootleggers no matter how they dress their event up. Sorry.

Chalky, Just checked my notes and you're right. The other pic is of three members and it's the same pic that shows four of them but has been cropped. The pic of three is in Issue #2 of There's That Beat! I've posted it below. I think the pic of four that this is cropped from is in the liner notes of Hadleys CD actually which I appear to have given away.

I think there's a ballad version of Need A Helping Hand on Hadley Murrell's CD. (Unless I've heard it somewhere before - I tend to buy CDs, listen to 'em once and then stash 'em ). There's also some question as to whether there were four or five members of the group. I've seen pictures of four and five but I believe it was the same picture but cropped. Still not been verified. Anyone?

May well be right as far as the JM is concerned as far as price is concerned but I think they're both available in the same quantity. Certainly seen quite a few of each over the years. Demo collectors eh??

Took me longer to find the MINT Demo of BM. Had a few issues, two demos but only one MINTER on Demo. 45 that's hard to find in the right condition imo. If anyone has the Map Design US 45 on MINT W/DEMO I'd be interested too.

Is the cover actually a pic of Al Gardner? Has anyone EVER seen a pic of Al Gardner apart from the one on the Gooda Mooga pic sleeve? I know there have been a couple of people trying to find out who/where Mr Gardner was/is but to no avail. Many of the Detroit artists from back in the day have been asked but no one seems to remember him. Any info gratefully received. TTB! #8 at the printers and should hit the streets shortly.

Jimmy Mack - I wouldn't have thought there was much in it. Barbara McNair - Demo harder, especially in MINT.

Anyone got any details for Al Gardner? Was a rumour for a while that it may have been Marv Johnson but I'm sure if that had been clarified we'd know all about it. Anyone know where Mr Gardner is? Any history at all?

45 arrived today Mark. Much obliged, Sir.

Hi Christian, Out of interest was it an orginal stocker? Second issue stocker? W/Demo?

BOOK HIM QUICK! Before he gets snapped up!!

Apologies. Put foot in gob. Have now extracted it.
