Rudzy, not actually playing this as yet out and about mainly due to the fact that I've not DJ'd anywhere since February....lol however different story on the radio show with a few spins of this superb double header on the cards. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Lovin' Lies is the stunning flip, be good if you can post the sound clip Baz. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Andy if it's a 'Head Nodder' then it must have a little something special there....lol great term mate will have to dig out a few more 'Head Nodder's'...love it...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I can't believe no one has snapped up the E.J. And The Echoes here, a steal at £280.00 an outstanding Detroit record which is as rare if not rarer than The Tempos on Diamond Jim, had mine for years stunning record simply stunning. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Who mentioned anything about being a 'Dancer'? I certainly did'nt, simply said it's good enough to gain some turntable action having a nice crossover feel to it which goes down well in some areas of the scene, good call though with the invention of the 'Head Nodder' term lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Great little record Andy, plenty more out there too like this which don't cost an arm and a leg either, will dig out one or two more to spotlight in the future on here. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Some further reductions, list updated and a quick bump. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

With you all the way Steve old son, spot on with every comment above, apart from not being the done thing how do people actually feel when they don't play the real deal? or do some people simply don't care? once I deside to move a record on the deal is done I pack it in a mailer and it goes to the buyer with no thought of 'I must still have a copy no matter what', as I said sell it, move on and find something else to fill the gap or if you want the tune that bad don't sell the original in the first place. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Simple that one don't play it, play something else. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Jez the thing is you could have answered him as you had the answer in your 50 box mate....the original! Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Fair enough Bazza but this was mentioned mate. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Third Guitar - Sad Girl - Rojac 120, stunning sleeper of a record that needs waking up, not that rare but may prove a little hard to find but well worth the hunt, certainly will be giving this some turntable action in 'The Soul Shack' and out and about at the odd gig, so right for today and never really been played that much as I recall, fantastic production and just holds that something a little special, should find copies of this knocking about for under £40.00 but even the top end it's worth every cent. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

If this is true then it's a disgrace in my book, bit like having your cake and eating it so to speak, I've moved loads of rare records over the years and it never entered my head to get a dub/carver cut, cheating really, sell it be done with it and move on with something else, far too many short cut's being taken these day's and it really goes against the grain being that the basis of this scene is about rare and hard to find records in many instances, unissued and preserving rare one off's etc. is common sense and a different issue I'm talking about doing a carver of some shit rare hard to find gem like some of the stuff being sold on Ebay for example, total bollocks for pretend DJ's and shame on anyone who cut's a dub off their original and sells it on and even worse if they did'nt own the record in the first place, holding these dubs/carvers or whatever you want to call them is a total nonsence they have no collectable value, they are as already stated totally illegal and playing them at a venue holds no substance or credability it's just being totally lazy and void of any passion or respect for the records in the first place, just another shitty little practice that seems to go on. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Let's do The Ebony's competition in the next few weeks Steve, cheers mate. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Great show lined up for tonight Sunday June 1st, the beat goes on www.starpoint radio.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

List updated, couple of new additions May 30th 2008. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Have 'Show Stopper'/'Don't Let The Door Hit You Back' - Hem bought it when it was really exspensive at £50.00 in the early 80's, fantastic double header as is 'Finally Waking Up (Bashful Man)' and the superb flip 'Fairy Tales Just Ain't True' - Ninandy, stunning record. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I buy a lot of records off friends and people I know well and tend to not haggle that much, record prices and friendship 'never the twain shall meet'.......lol at the end of the day a record is worth the same money if you know somebody or not and tend to think that friendship and cutting a deal for a record should not cloud the issue. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
