Hi Tim, Hope you're well Matey. I rate a minter at around 100. I've had the opportunity to buy two at 150 and 125 respectively so I'm not far out. There was one listed on Ebay (Twice) for 125 that never attracted a bid. The Chrisima 45 I've only ever seen 2 of. (Not sure of the provenance of this one either, same stampers etc but most definitely a later issue than Tuff). The Pandora 45 I'm lucky to have owned for near 20 years so the Stagemasters would round off a nice trio of records from that particular era. The hunt goes on... Best, Dave

Thanks or the tip Seb. I'd never seen one either which is why I started looking. Still after the Stagemasters ....anyone? Regards, Dave

I'm looking for copies of: Stagemasters - Baby I'm Here Just To Love You - Hit Kingdom Dee and Joe - Who's It Gonna Be - Big Six Will pay 75- 100 each depending on Condition. Please PM or email hitsville2648@earthlink.net if you want to sell. Regards, Dave

As good a definition as any. Regards, Dave

Roger that! (On both counts). Regards, Dave

Ady, Are there any Promos/TPs of the series so far? Regards, Dave

Great Record. Regards Dave

Great info guys. Top Notch! ANSSYBG is one of my favourite songs of all time and I have lots of versions. The Suspension 45 was given to be by my pal Karl Heard and is in my top 3 versions. Always wondered who they were and where they were from? Thanks for posting. Exactly why I still visit SS. Regards, Dave

Hey Up Dave, I'm about half way there is all!! Let a few go a couple of years ago so recalling them home too now. You still 'at it' or things still quiet over yonder? Best, Dave

Watched this......quite enjoyed seeing Eddie Willis still plucking away. Nice one. Nice to see the music being referred to as revered too. Think they tried their best to be true to 'the sound'. You're right about the self promotion, there's no way did they 'reproduce the Sound Of Young America" as Mr Collins claimed. I thought the musicians were good and it was a reasonable attempt but Phil was the weak link I felt. His vocals are way out of synch with the likes of Reeves, Ross, Stubbs, Ruffin etc. Plus...how you gonna reproduce Benjamin, Jamerson, Jones etc. I've heard some of the finished tracks via youtube etc and they are on a par with that other famous soulster Rod Stewart. Worth watching it to hear Babbit play "Tears Of A Clown". 6/10 Regards, Dave

If it's "You're All I Really Need" it came out on 2 labels Burdette and Jerden. Neither are particularly hard to find although the Burdette Demo is the hardest I reckon. I'd say about 30 quid should get you a copy quite easily if you keep your eyes open. Hope this helps. Regards, Dave

Surely this is an oldie from waaaay back. Had one since the late 70s. Thought it was a 50 quidder nowadays. 384? Someone's a happy Teddy Bear eh! Regards, Dave

This weeks last 5 from me: (two off SS too!). Mamie Galore - You Got The Power - Thomas Demo Chuck Bernard - Indian Giver - Satellite Demo Syl Johnson - That's Why - Twinight Jackie Wilson - Somebody Up There Likes You - Coral Mex Pic Sleeve Joyce Lawson - Love Uprising - Mutt & Jeff Regards, Dave

Del Larks - Job Opening Al Williams - I Am Nothing Mel Britt - She'll Come Running Back Billy Woods - Let Me Make You Happy Poets - Wrapped Around Your Finger Larry Clinton - She's Wanted In 3 States Yvonne Vernee - Just Like You Did Me Don Varner - Tear Stained Face Robby Lawson Burning Sensation Lorraine Chandler - You Only Live Twice That'd do me for half an hour. Regards, Dave

Cheers Mick. Thought I'd lost the plot for a while there. I can sleep at night again now! Regards, Dave

Excellent! I've never seen that before. Thanks for posting. Regards, Dave

I also have a minter. If anyone has a Demo in good nick I'd be interested. Regards, dave

Regards, Dave

I think it was booted on both Black and Yellow wax but I've never seen a red wax one. I got the other post wrong...it was Shirley Mathews - My Little Girl that was on the Mirwood red wax boot by SS not Bobby Garrett. So...(sorry but this is buggin' me now) we have... Ckeckerboard Squares - Yellow wax Villa Shirley Mathews - My Little Girl - Red wax Mirwood Lydia Marcelle - It's Not Like You - Red wax Manhattan What was the fourth one? Anyone? Regards, Dave

Not sure where to put this but it's worth watching to the end.... Regards, Dave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpmVg_Ip9Ko&feature=player_embedded

I think that's a different boot alltogether. Del Satins wasn't on a yellow wax disc as far as I can remember? Anyone? The Double Cookin one was pressed along with Lydia Marcelle It's Not Like You - Manhattan, Bobby Garrett - My Little Girl - Mirwood and one other that I can't for the life of me remember. Anyone? Regards, Dave

It was also booted on a yellow wax Villa lookalike label too wasn't it? Not sure of the title on this 45 but pretty sure it was under Double Cookin'. '77/78 ish (?) Regards, Dave

Seems a shame that the likes of 'Hip Jeans' and other gubbins get battered at venues when there's quality new music of this stature around. Needs to be in vinyl though to get played at many venues. Regards, Dave

Anyone know if there are plans to release: Drizabone - Don't Break My Heart on vinyl? Regards, Dave

CLASSIC!
