Big Beat Ballads
I know that Brad Lundy and Deena Johnson are the same songs but didn't know that Chuck Jackson did it as well. What is it like?

Big Beat Ballads
well, I did, see post #29. Though I have to say that I'm not too keen on "Never loved her anyway". BTW, I have it on a UK London demo.

Comedy Sale Of The Day
You might be right. I know it went for over $2.000 a few years ago. But don't know what it's going for nowadays

Comedy Sale Of The Day
Sorry, what's your point? Is it that seller advertises simultaneous on SS and Ebay? Or is it that seller's SS is about 300/400 quid above the current rate?* WTF is HTMHF? * assuming that the Sweets are still four figure?

The Records That Nobody Likes
Love it.

Extremely Dodgy?
sure is. looks like seller (or seller's pal) tried to raise winning bid but exaggerated (correct word?) eventually. or seller tested the water to see what it could fetch. 50 quid would be quite cheap tho.

Playlists, Or The Lack Of Them
Been told before that you really suck when dj'ing while driving

Playlists, Or The Lack Of Them
Seems like some are getting too paranoid. Tunes 'getting nicked' by others too lazy to get their own tunes? Bullshit. Period. If you have any 'elusive' tunes you don't want us to see, just leave them out of your playlist and post the rest. NB: stig lindberg, must be a sad life if you could dance to uptempo tunes only. I feel sorry for you.

Billy Harner - Got To Check You Out - V-Tone More Copies Turned Up?
i think he sold 1-2 copies individually and then put a batch of around 10 copies on ebay. makes it pretty rare IMO.

Billy Harner - Got To Check You Out - V-Tone More Copies Turned Up?
Just spotted Billy harner - Got to check you out on V-Tone @ 70 quid on a sales liste from april 2012. Looks pretty cheap to me for a record that is known for a dozen or less copies. Or did more copies turn up since that one find 12/18 months ago?

Why?
Don't you get the same message when trying to bid on an US-only auction?

Love Is Allright - Versions
Worst version I know of is by the Johnson Bros on german-only 45. It's awful, can't bear to even think about it.

Brenda (Lee) Jones (Including - "big Mistake")

The Sparkels - Try Love
Unless this has risen in value again 300 is just about what it's worth, isn't it?

Sam Fletcher
Do you know more about that loophole? I know the guy/guys behind Marginal used it to issue 100s of bootleg CDs. Might be just urban myth but was told that the bootleggers were safe as long as they sold their "products" only in Belgium but one bloke got busted as he sold his CDs all over the world. Any truth behind that? BTW, are you saying spanish Chubby Checker is not legit?

A "modern" Choon Question
From an aesthetic point of view the multi coloured US issue is the one to have IMO. UK Pye release might be the rarest but looks boring (again IMO). BTW, Chris if you really think this sounds like an 80s recording you may need to have your hearing aid re-calibrated

Comedy Sale Of The Day
The comedy lies in the details: "Hard to find 45s with a Low Start Price AND NO RESERVE !!"

Priced Not To Sell
Record sellers can use whatever description, phrase, etc. they want. I can't be bothered. Just don't take it too literally. I mean nobody wants to have "monsters" in his record box? And as the "holy grail" is supposed to be a goblet it wouldn't fit in any of my boxes either. Overpriced records, that really pi**es me off. Guide/Book/Manship prices are usually 200% of the real market value, so where's the point of knocking off 10% from the guide price and calling that "priced to sell"?
