According to Facebook it's Honky and Mr. Robinson (aka Pomonkey) dj'ing, make your guess ....

Different backing tracks tho they have some similarities. Lee Jennings sounds brill to me, proper northern as they say...

Steve, 15 years more likely. Here's a scan of the tracklist lifted from a previous thread about Art Gentry

A close friend of mine is trying to find a nice copy of Five Royales - Catch that teardrop either on Home of the blues or ABC. Doesn't have to be mint but should be playable at least. Please PM me with price and condition, no "make me an offer" stuff. Thanks!

I agree. Nothing wrong with giving a record a really good cleaning or trying to remove skips. But if a record is so battered only skimming would help I'd rather leave and simply accept it as it is

Another way to spot a polished record w/out even playing it, is to compare condition of the vinyl and the label. Usually only beat up/fooked up records are polished/skimmed. If a record is in bad condition the label is pretty worn/battered/dirty/whatever too most of the time. So if you hold a record with a nice shiny playing surface but a worn label, it's very likely it had been skimmed.

All you need are a magnifying glass, a thin needle and a steady hand. 1) Find the exact spot where the record skips (use magnifying glass). 2) If it jumps because of a scratch going cross the groove*, take the needle and slowly run it along the groove across the scratch to even the scratch. Use slight pressure only on the needle! Repeat it at few times. That usually removes the skip and only leaves a (usually minor) click when playing. * if it jumps because of a scratch running along the grooves or a pressing fault there's hardly anything you can do I'm afraid.

I don't think that a publisher's acetate can indicate any possible german release. Peter Schaeffer's Europaton company did promote songs to record companies all over Europe. I guess your acetate was done for reference or promotion hence the english sticker on it. If it was released in Germany I never seen it or even heard of it before.

For sale: MOJOBA-I KNOW / (same) -POLYDOR WD (strong VG++/EX) £50 SOLD Lovely dancer, check the sound clip. Scans of both sides are attached to clip. Postage from Germany to Europe £3.00, tad more outside Europe, tad less within Germany. Please PM for further info. TRADES WELCOME!

You're right. Blatant bootleg label. As lovely as these multi-coloured 45s look, they're pressings. Surprises me how some that wouldn't touch a bootleg with bare hands now discuss the beatuy of yellow vinyl

Am going to close this thread as I'm sorted now. From what I've been offered the current ral and fair value seems to be about 30 to 35. But one copy was offered @75. I had to decline

-edit-

Wanted: Queen Yahna - Ain't it time - P&P 45 Please PM with condition, price, etc. TIA Benji

DJ Honky?

Here are RefoClips for both sides, taken from the actual record for sale. Label scans are attached to the clips when you open them.

Darren, sorry to read what happened to you, especially as 1400 quid isn't an amount easy to cope with. But was wondering, what exactly happened. In your Ebay listing you said you had all necessary proofs of posting but still Payment refunded that french crook?

Can't see any logic behind that. Why should I state the record is styrene or vinyl?

Postage from Germany is £3.00 (signed for £5.00) to any destination in Europe, less within Germany, more outside Europe. Please PM me if interested ...

Couldn't edit my original post. The highlighted bit makes no sense at all. What I wanted to say was: I've never seen the design of the italian sleeve as posted before.

Back in the mid/late 90s it seemed that each and every dealer at our local record fair here in Munich had multiple copies of the italian press. But they all had the sleeve of the dutch release as posted, I've seen the design of the italian sleeve as posted. I'm confused

List updated. Special deal available for what's left. Please PM for details. Thanks Benji
