Birth Of A Playboy, How Many Versions ?
The Crown Four and Chosen Few releases of "Birth Of A Playboy" on the three labels LEE JOHN, MAPLE and CANYON are all the exact same recording, they are not different versions. The LEE JOHN mix has got a lot more treble compared to the MAPLE and CANYON releases though. The release info for the 3 releases is as follows: Crown Four - Birth Of A Playboy / Love Of My Girl - LEE JOHN 619 Chosen Few - Birth Of A Playboy / Taking All The Love I Can - MAPLE 1000 Chosen Few - Birth Of A Playboy / Taking All The Love I Can - CANYON 1000 "Love Of My Girl" and "Taking All The Love I Can" are not the same tune. As far as I know The Crown Four, The Chosen Few and The Adventurers (on BLUE ROCK) were different names for the same group (bar one member or so).

Gerri Hall - Who Can I Run To
There must be some difference in the matrix markings between the two different versions. Would be great if anyone of you who currently have a copy of this can post up what it reads in the dead wax and specify which version you've got. Thanks in advance!

King Tutt 2nd Issue ?
It can't look exactly the same as on the original so it would be great if you could post up some pictures of the dead wax matrix info. And focused pictures of the labels as well (turning on the "macro" setting on your camera should do the trick) Here are pictures of the matrix details on an original copy. "D-A-N-C-I-N'" side: "YOU'VE GOT ME HUNG UP" side:

Al Mason Madness
From what I understand the BUNKY 7" issue is legal but was issued in 1990, ten years after the original 12" release on AL & THE KIDD which was issued in 1980. The FYNAL VYNAL 7" is also a legal reissue done in 1985.

Keep your eyes peeled on eBay and do constant searches for it. It turns up every now and then and I've seen several cheap copies sell during the past year. Here is one of them, which ended 2 months ago at £23: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=180298370436

Really nice to see that video! Nearly fell off my chair when he showed that "Schytts" LP! They're a schmalzy swedish schlager type of band and one of my relatives used to be their singer... Have never really thought about what their name sounded like when said in english...

45s & Lps On Ebay: Johnny Watson 'i Say I Love You', Little Beaver, Nate Calhoun
You have a point there, and I agree with you to some extent (I still consider it to be one of the rarest Johnny Guitar Watson 45s though), but those "cheap" copies from 5+ years ago that you speak about have now been snapped up and they are not leaving collections by the look of it. There haven't been many copies offered for sale of this 45 during the past two years. How rare a record actually is seldom plays a big part as far as the price goes when a record comes up for grabs that otherwise seldom comes up for sale.

45s & Lps On Ebay: Johnny Watson 'i Say I Love You', Little Beaver, Nate Calhoun
Obviously I was the person selling this record so might be a bit biased... but you've got to be kidding? Why should that Johnny Watson record sell for £30? Over 60 people had it on their "eBay watch". There's big demand for it and it doesn't turn up for sale often. Those two factors combined usually result in high record prices. And having been included on a very popular recent Kent compilation CD helps as well. It is a rare record despite the fact that you haven't payed more than £10 for any of your copies. The actual rarity of a record usually doesn't become apparent and it doesn't start to fetch big bucks until they've become popular and more people know about them. Judging from the e-mail I recieved just about an hour ago from the buyer, it would be a big surprise if he doesn't pay for it (or the other record he bought!). Ofcourse he will. Almost everyone pays for the stuff they win in eBay auctions. The non-payer ratio is about 5 to 1000 in my experience.

The Eliminators - Loving Explosion - Brc
They only had one 7" release on BRC as far as I know. This one: Eliminators - Give It Up / Blood Donors Needed (Give All You Can) - BRC 113 Might be the one you're thinking about?

45s & Lps On Ebay: Johnny Watson 'i Say I Love You', Little Beaver, Nate Calhoun
Thanks for pointing it out, I've posted in the wrong section and didn't notice it until now! Big apologies, I usually always post in the auction section. Any of you moderators: move this thread to the correct section if you feel like it. Sorry, I don't sell records set sale or for "offers" on forums at all anymore. Why not set up a sniper tool to place a bid for you? That way you will not need to have access to eBay when the auctions end.

Senator Jones On International City
I just found out that Senator Jones passed away in his sleep on November 29th this year and his funeral service took place this past saturday (December 6th). Very sad.

Senator Jones On International City
WOW! Great stuff! I can't quite make out the full title of the "... My Baby's Back" side on the SAPPHIRE 45. Do you know what it is? Thanks for pointing that out. Salena also got an issue on UK Columbia. Have added the additional/correct info to the discography in the first post now. I'll post up some clean scans of the Whurley Burley 45 when I find it... (have searched a couple of hours for it, have no idea where I've placed it! )

Senator Jones On International City
Thanks for that! I have added that info to the listing above. Also found another Bell 45 plus one on Sapphire. Can it be that the "The Sheriff" 45 in R&B indies is in fact the 45 released as WHURLEY BURLEY 101? Is INTERNATIONAL CITY 729 mentioned in R&B indies?

Senator Jones On International City
I've just found a Senator Jones 45 that I've never seen mentioned anywhere. It's on the INTERNATIONAL CITY label and has got two good sides, especially "Eenie Meenie Miney Minnie & Moe" which has got gritty vocals and second-line drumming all the way through. Has anyone of you come across it earlier? I thought this label was fairly well researched but can't find a mention of this disc. While I'm at it, here's a discography of Senator Jones 60s solo 45s: INTERNATIONAL CITY 729 - Eenie Meenie Miney Minnie & Moe / Country Soul WATCH 6337 - Sugar Dee / I Think Of You HOT LINE 120 - Whatcha Gonna Do / Boston Fleet WHURLEY BURLEY 101 - Call The Sheriff / Let Your Self Go SAPPHIRE 913 - Baby It's Too Late / My Baby's Back SHAGG 713 - Do You Love Me / Who's Loving Her Now SHAGG 801 - The Fat Man / Today And Tonight BELL 687 - Miniskirt Dance / Sweet Thing Has anyone got anything to add?

This Guy Selling The Four Tracks
You're thinking about Lester Tipton on La Beat. There have been at least 25 copies of the Four Tracks 45 on eBay sold by the same seller during the past year.
