The rarest VIP 45s in my experience are the West Coast styrene multi coloured promos. Somey of them are also double sided as opposed to having the same song on both sides. They also look and sound much better. Here's an example, although this particular one is a same song sided demo: Regards, Dave

Once again I'm in need of some assistance and am hoping some erstwhile collector can push me towards the end of this project. Has any Arctic collector got copies of these they could scan for me please: Arctic 103 - Volcanos - Baby b/w Make Your Move Arctic 131 - Kenny Hamber - Anything You Want b/w Ain't Gonna Cry Arctic 157 - Jimmy Bishop - Through The Eyes Of A Blackman b/w Mr Charlie I'm looking for a good scan at minimum 300dpi. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dave

I am currently trying to arrange for promoters and a couple of artists from the Philly Area to be hooked up with a view to performing in UK. As anyonw who has undertaken these tasks before will tell you, there's a million and one considerations and the planets need to be alighned in order to pull it off. Mervin and Melvin have established a musical awards promotion and I'm sure, under the right circumstances could be persuaded to appear in UK. I think Kenny would also be more than happy to appear in UK/Europe again, though I'm sure John (Roburt), will have better info on his circumstances and arrangements. Regards, Dave
-
Eh? No I didn't? What are you talking about? I got to the Steals Brothers via Mervin's daughter. I got Winfield Parker's tel number from Kenny. Anyway, the full and comprehensive story based on a series of live interviews will all be in the upcoming book that should be on the shelves early summer. Regards, Dave

Bit necky I know but.... I'm after a West Coast Styrene Map Demo of: Supremes - Nothing But Heartaches Don't suppose you've got one that you'd like to sell? Best, Dave

If you get in touch with Bev at sales@theresthatbeat.com she'll sort you out a pack of the ones still in stock, all nice and minty too. I'm sure she'll do you a good deal. Or - she can be contacted at bevmoore@earthlink.net Regards, Dave

with 'sol'. Regards, Dave

Had most of the stuff in the 80s when you couldn't give them away. A couple that did elude me though: Roy Hamilton - The Panic Is On - MGM Demo (Missed one at a London Record Fair when Mick Atherton picked it up, at least I think it was Dave - May have been Dave Withers). . Wayne Fontana - Give Me Just a Little More Time - Phillips ISSUE Fathers Angels - Bok to Bach - MGM ISSUE Regards, Dave
-
Like most of these efforts: "Video Killed The Radio Star". Is he singing English all the way through? Regards, Dave

Really looking forward to seeing this. Think we'll see props for the Andantes, Sweethearts of Sigma or Sweet Inspirations? Surely? Regards, Dave

Hi Richard, Yep as far as price in pounds is concerned I'd certainly agree Mate. But the Ad Libs is a Mint- and I'd think they are not as common in that nick as a stocker issue. Plus, sometimes it's not about the cost of a 45 but the value to you as an individual collector. A good example is Dickie and The Ebbtides on GW. Terrible record but hard to find so the cost of it is high but the actual value to me is nil. Yet I've seen many more Dickie and The Ebbtides than, say a Rose Batiste Holding Hands Demo or a Sunliners - All Alone Demo in perfect nick. Yell you what....it's a funnee ole game this collecting lark eh? Regards, Dave PS -I'll try and sort a few more out to contribute next week. Good thread.

Here's a few from the shelves of my record room. Nothing uber rare but you'll have to have a good look round when searching for some of them. I'd say the hardest to find was The Capitols Karen 45. Had owned the stocker for 15 years until I eventually located a WDJ. Some of the Motown Styrene WDJs are particularly hard in pristine nick in my experience too.
-
I suppose with most 45s like this, it's all about time and place. Neither is particularly rare or terribly hard to find, it's simply a case of waiting for them to come along, which they do on a reasonably regular basis. The difficulty with 45s nowadays is condition. If you're a bit of a WDJ freak like me and don't take kindly to wol, sol, H20, etc etc then it gets tougher for sure. Regards, Dave

Have had a couple in the last 12 months as I continue to upgrade. Think last one (Mint-), was around the $30 mark. The other one "I Gotta Get Up" proved a little harder in the same condition. Regards, Dave

Northern Soul. 'Cos that's exactly what I like. Stand Tall - Be Proud. The people who made the music did. Regards, Dave

Cheers Pete, I'll git it a whirl. Regards, Dave

The Melvin Davis Groovesville Demo is nice. I've been looking for a VG+ for over 15 years! Have an issue and had a battered demo but got shut, just didn't look the part with the others! Might do a piece on Demos, their role in promotion and and the psyche behind collecting them for the Bridligton Mag? Think that would fly? Regards, Dave
-
Great stuff. How do I download it Pete so I can save it? Regards, Dave
-
I certainly remember at least one Motown one. Chris King playing a C-90 tape of all the stuff he'd recently liberated from their Vaults. Some great stuff. Come to think of it, think it may have been a Motown one that Kim Weston and Brenda Holloway played in '98? Regards, Dave
-
I don't remember them as a cheesy "oldies fest" at all. Sure, most were known sounds but some great rarities and underplayed 'blasts from the past' are what I remember and the likes of Kenny Burrell and Carl Willingham certainly used to shake it up a bit. These were the last of the 'record bar niters' too in my opinion. Before it all went a bit daft and prices became based on bukreedin' instead of common sense and good banter/bartering skills. Regards, Dave

What years were you in the 'Shot'. I bet we caught the same trains after a full monty breakfast at the Top Hat! Regards, Dave

Chris, It's the Satellite copy you need Mate. The Maverick one is weak. Regards, Dave
-
Yep. Totally separate singers. Regards, Dave

It's on many of the Gamble discographies as a stocker. Also, there's a guy on FB reckons he has one! I've asked for a scan so we'll see if he means a WDJ. I've never seen one nor heard of anyone that has one so be great if it does show. Regards, Dave

Hi Guys, Has anyone ever seen a stock copy of : Gail Anderson - Lets Fall In Love all Over b/w Be Proud - Gamble 206 Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave
