Got a white test too, nice one. How much is "good money"?

Great group soul double sider worth every penny! But blue eyed? Don't think so...

Now on Ebay: THE VELOURS - I'M GONNA CHANGE / DON'T PITY ME - MGM D/J (Original!) THE LOLLIPOPS - LOVING GOOD FEELING/STEP ASIDE BABY - IMPACT W/D LORRAINE CHANDLER - WHAT CAN I DO/TELL ME YOU'RE MINE - GIANT See all items here

Great Garage double sider, sounds brill played out loud (tho I wouldn't play it at a soul dance...) Anyone knows how the song ended up in Australia?

Ortofon 2M Red cartridge and matching stylus is by far the best value for money set up! Reduces surface noise and scuffing on styrene presses and has an all around brill sound quality. Highly recommended! Thanks to Sebastian for the tip... Don't know how much Ortofon stuff is in the UK but I guess around 100 quid for cartridge and stylus?

Google's book search site is a pretty good start for getting release dates. If a certain record was featured in say Billboard magazine a result pops up. E.g. Velvet Satins was reviewed in Billboard magazine on May 8, 1965.

Paper sleeves they're selling fit very well. Also these card board covers fit in any record box, be it ADDA or aluminium flight cases. Never had any problems at all. Been asked by PM how to navigate on www.musictools.de here's my reply: "once you have entered the site, click on "single-zubeh¶r" on the left menu. then click on "single-cover karton" (karton is german for cardboard), ArtNr is 2002A. On the right site type in the number of sleeves you want to order. the site automatically leads you to your "warenkorb" (shopping basket), choose postage ("per DHL innerhalb EU, 19,99) and proceed payment from there. Postage seems a bit expensive but I understand it's a fixed rate so it shouldn't matter if you order 100 or 1.000 sleeves, it remains the same." cardboard sleeves are 0.25 EUR each, paper sleeves are 0.04 EUR each. You can find them in the "single-zubeh¶r" menu right above the card board sleeves, ArtNr is 2002

You'll never stop learning! I always thought it was demo only and the last release before label went bust. What's on the issue's flipside? Same as on the italian release?
