Prime example of a big void price wise between the issue and the demo? Stocker dog hard to find. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Perhaps not a mega rare 45 but a nice issue and pretty hard to find, fantastic double header and i reckon i had a stroke of luck picking this up last year for about twenty quid? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Great double header - The Legends - "Fear Not" B/W Gotta Let You Go - Locket 756. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

How about a 'Northern Soul' version of 'Big Brother' now that would be interesting....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

No problem Rod, it's not that difficult.....lol took me ages to work it out though, see you soon. Mark Bicknell.

PM me i have a VG Capitol Demo copy which i may let go. Regards - Mark Bicknell bicknellmark@aol.com

Cheers John, i stand corrected, always passed on the 'Craked' copy but now seems my information was wrong, sorry to Craig as well. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Craig, I think you will find that the 'Craked' spelt copy of this is infact a bootleg/pressing as the original is spelt correctly as in 'Cracked', pretty sure this is correct. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Pete, like i said somewhere in my tiny brain memory banks i thought it was issued, we must have seen it way back and not really taken any notice as when i got my demo about 25 years ago i had no reason to seek an issue, quality tune on either copy. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thought so, i hate doubting myself...lol Mark Bicknell.

I reckon you could be right there Pete, but having said that i bet Mr Massy has a stocker tucked away, but thinking about it i can't say i've ever seen one but i'm sure it must have been issued??? defo seen Jackie Lee going for a bit of dosh recently on an issue and i guess i should have been a little more specific sorry, these type of threads are far more interesting than the negative stuff, we all seem to share and learn with postings like this, brilliant, let's have more of the same. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Two nice ABC Demo's, hard call on if stockers are harder to locate, seems even in terms of value? Demo's look yummy though...lol

And bloody happy i was too mate....tune!!!!!! Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I think mine could be one of the same on the 'Art Freeman' Pete, as on the flip it say's 'Plug Side' but no other indication that it's a demo...any ideas mate? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Someone mentioned the Red 'Art Freeman', 'Cooperettes' for Rod....yes it looks better than the stock/issue, 'Think Smart' Old Town stock/issue is nice and i think harder than the demo and last but not least stocker of 'The Dynamics' on Top Ten now tell me thats not hard to find....lol Fun this thread. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

So right for now this tune, i fell onto a copy last year for a straight £100.00 of course i knew about the tune way back but never picked it up when the price was 12 quid....lol the likes of Mr Plumb at The Orwell, Cressy, Neil Jones and others, and a few spins on Solar perhaps have finally helped this quality tune gain the status it so richly deserves...top record and creeping up in price so it would seem. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Cheers Phil for that, i have the record it's just not in very good condition just looking for a better copy and i know it's played out and about i was joking with Sean...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sean, don't big it up mate or they will all want one....lol so have you got a spare one then???? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sorry just noticed i've listed this request in 'Sales' should of course be in 'Want's' so perhaps one of the Moderators can move it coz i don't know how too...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Wanted - Nice clean copy of the 1968 belter from Shirley Karol - Just To Make You Happy (books at about £75.00) Dakar 45-600, if anyone can help please contact bicknellmark@aol.com or telephone 0161 330 6267. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Neil & Dolly, Fantastic idea but i think Ady requested everyone to hold fire until he has talked with the owners again etc. i feel if any spanners are thrown in the mix prior to this then it could spoil things rather than helping, i think we all have to trust and respect Ady on this one. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

My Seven Souls - I Still Love You - Okeh Stock/ Issue, took it out of it's sleeve about fifteen years ago at a gig and it just flapped around at me with a crack right the way through it, has a nice piece of sticky tape on the reverse to hold it together, never bothered to replace it just took it out the box and stuck it on one of the shelves...records don't you just love them....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Derek, As much as i would like to help....i just can't part with my demo or the Album it's also on....lol infact i have all the key Hesitations 45's.....i'll ask around should be able to locate one i'm sure. See you soon - Mark Bicknell.

I've not been to The 100 Club in recent years due to work, family life etc, last time i had the pleasure of DJ'ing there was about 3 years ago, i never missed an allnighter there from day one for about the first 15 years, Ady gave me one of my first Allnighter spots way back which i have to thank him for publically, the venue was like the 'holy grail' to DJ at and i was lucky enough to play a few tunes there many times over the years, this is a very sad day indeed, chin up Ady and if it helps just remember you have run the longest running Northern Soul Allnighter in the history of the scene, i hope there is a turn around on this one. Legendary.....simple as that. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
