********ON HOLD******** Managed to pick up a minter of this brilliant and tough item. One which has gone down well when I've played it out. It has some very faint heat damage along the right hand side (can't see it in the scan and it isn't that easy to spot anyway). This does cause a small amount of 'swoosh' in the opening few bars but once the music kicks in fully, it doesn't notice at all. Otherwise a very clean record with faint label wear. I would look for £175/200 for a minter, £125 for this posted within the UK (overseas shipping extra). Paypal F&F or bank transfer.

Eddie Kool "Where There's A Will There's A Way" on Dore. Please PM. Thanks

"Got To Get Myself Together" on Make It Thanks

Greg, they were indeed best of times. Great laughs and as you say, the music getting played around London then was just brilliant.

Levanna's mother, Eve from Bristol behind the camera. She probably would have travelled up the M4 in my car from Cardiff. Simon Green from Swindon outside at the end with me chatting away and singing Dean Parrish! Can briefly see Tina Wilkes from Newport inside and outside. Andy Campbell from Cardiff walking off down Oxford St (would have come up in my car I guess). Brummie Mick is dancing. Not sure who else was there from South Wales and the West Country apart from me, Eve and Simon. Around then could have been any number of us - John Browne was living down South Wales around then, Dave Farrell, Jason Starr, Mush and Kim from Weston, Scouse, Klair from Ponty, Billy Jones, Tony Voyce - loads of us regularly heading to London for the 100 Club or the Dome each month. Great days, great music.

There's a number of things in your list which there aren't pics for or title details. Best wishes

Just gone up on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/1073235511?ev=bp_img Cheap in my opinion for such a rare and good 45. I'd want a grand for my copy if I was selling. Good luck.
