Towanda Barnes (You Better) Find/ You Don't Mean It 1141 Tan Backround
Sounds like an issue copy to me. Quite a scarce thing in my day.

None! Sad ain't it?

Value Please - Charles Johnson
Amazing how often that happens - at the time it was Prince Phillip Mitchell that became my nemesis! The Charles Johnson I had came from Arcade records in Nottingham for 99p - though originally I bought it for the flip side!

Is the colour an East coast/West coast thing? Here's mine; Only ever had one, ain't you lot ever heard of looking after your stuff?

The Casino Years 1973 To 1975 - Part Two
Top drawer Pete! Very pleased that you didn't give in to the temptation to re write history - so many do. I always loved Judy Harris, though having heard it recently it hasn't stood the test of time well. Lester Lanin - like some others played at the time was an aberration, but the scene is littered with them. I am going to really enjoy listening to it properly when I get in from work! Thanks for sharing! RB

Forgotten Monsters From Wigan Etc Days
Just had a thought, probably a Mecca spin originally, but a monster everywhere - especially the Casino in '75; Tamiko Jones "I'm spellbound" www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4pm81uas4g

Forgotten Monsters From Wigan Etc Days
Sounds a bit like Henry Boatwright to me....

Forgotten Monsters From Wigan Etc Days
Carl always had taste though, sold mine around y2k and I would be very curious to know who has it now!

Well at least you have the original boot now!

Forgotten Monsters From Wigan Etc Days
One I had heard of (at the time) but not managed to hear until an odd, occasional revisitation to the casino and Richard played it - best record of the night!

Forgotten Monsters From Wigan Etc Days
I think in this era of ovo it is forgotten for that very reason - I have only ever seen 1 real copy, and I can't remember the last time I heard it out. Massive in its day too.

Rita & Tiaras - Gone With The Wind
Can't remember exactly, had many bargains off Rob over the years, it would have been just after he opened the shop in Hurts Yard. It was a decidedly second hand copy, but as per sleeve note "surface marks, plays fine"...
-
Rita & Tiaras - Gone With The Wind
I think so without a doubt - the issue I had was £12 from Rob Smith - it was long before this new fangled Google though....

Best Uk Tamla Tmg B Side?
Undisputed Truth "You got the love I need" (flip to "Smiling faces sometimes" - which is awesome in my opinion!) I think it is TMG 789, but I could be wrong?

Rita & Tiaras - Gone With The Wind
Thanks Julian.

Rita & Tiaras - Gone With The Wind
Thanks Chalky, that is a first for me!

Rita & Tiaras - Gone With The Wind
I would certainly like to see a demo if anyone has a scan to share?

Instrumentals - Bovvered?
It was bootlegged about the same time as "Afternoon of the Rhino"... about 1973?
-
Lainie Hill - Time Marches On
Doesn't look right does it?
-
Instrumentals - Bovvered?
Isn't it the Contrails (or something like that) I'd rather be lonely? Mike & Ike is called "Sax on the track (or "I'd rather be lonely)"

Are There B Sides You Still Haven't Played?
I have many confessions of this nature, but the most painful is not flipping Bob Relf until Rob Wigley told me about "Girl, you're my kind of wonderful" - missed out on a great record for about thirty years! Then there was Mikki Farrow, Len Jewel and oh so many more. What a numbskull!

Tomangoes Acetate ?
I'm with Macca, it's not a very original topic for a thread is it?
-
Argie And The Arketts
Hi J, hope you are well. Always loved it, but I don't think people were quite ready for it back then! Nice to know you are persevering with it! atb, RB

Argie And The Arketts
Beat me to it JW - I was going to mention that I had heard you play it around '79.

Tomangoes Acetate ?
Richard S recently mentioned on his Solar radio show, playing an 'acetate', supplied by a Los Angeles record dealer, of the 'Bob Wilson Sounds - Strings a go-go' at the Casino in 1974. Would that have been alright?
