El Michels Affair - too late to turn back Joseph Henry - who's the king?

Charles Bradley - The World

Sugarman 3 - Funky so and so

Great tune, was going to buy the shaped picture disc but could justify the £15 postage, same with Colemine releases. Shame really but I guess we've got the private postal companies for lobbying the US government for that 🙄

My better half is a photographer so I can appreciate the price of lenses (extortionate) but 4.5k for a stick to remove a fish from its natural habitat to dry land is insane!! PS: she has also recentley dropped her 'camera' for her mobile phone to take pictures and they are fantastic none the less, she takes mainly macro images.

I thought the Eastern Europeans were cheap to employ??! Seriously, if we think vinyl prices are crazy at the moment then 4.5k for a fish removal stick is bloody crazy!

Bootleg of a bootleg or legal reissue of a bootleg?? Unf*ckingbelievable!!! 😂🤣

From everything I have read/tried they are on for good I'm afraid. I did read someone suggesting sliding a razor blade or scalpel underneath but it's hit and miss whether it will rip the label. Does anyone know if applying a heat source would loosen the type of glue used on dymo tape??

As other members have said on the site re. Bootlegs: "they were just doing it for the love of the music". B*llocks

From the 45 that is listed on eBay it states that 110th and Lenox Avenue is an instrumental take on Twist and Shout

Here's a full list of the tour:

Howard Guyton for me too, a much more interesting arrangement IMO

Edit, sample, makes no difference, royalties should be paid and credit made. They are bootlegs, as in not officially licensed, if they contain a whole or sampled part of a song. Whichever way it's dressed up the original artist/publisher is being ripped off.

Here's the full original LP version for comparison with the 45 'edit'...

It's off this Greene Sisters LP 'Whatever's Fair' on Mankind Records: Greene Sisters The track is actually called - Theme For Sisters Greene (Build It Up) and has long Shaft style percussive intro and outro which have been edited out of the Moton 45. As for the legitimacy of the Moton 45 I don't know but I suspect it's a boot? Not heard of the JLM release either but the Mankind LP can be picked up cheap on ebay with a bit of persistence and luck!

We have a winner!! 👍

Received a record from the US today and opened it up to find that instead of the usual cardboard stiffeners the sender had used two other 45s each side of my purchase to protect it. Not that unusual as you used to see it a lot years ago and occasionally still do. Emailed the seller just to be sure he hadn't made a mistake and he replied that "I've stopped buying cardboard stiffeners and use old 45s out of a big box of $1 bargain bin junk". One of the said "junk" 45s was Alexander Patton - A lil lovin sometimes and another was Aretha Franklin - One Step Ahead, both near mint!! The other two were a Slim & Little Ann 45 and a thrashed copy of Ruby Andrews - Casanova, both probably deserving of the $1 bargain bin! Made me feel slightly better about the $24 postage charge! Anyone else been lucky and had a similar experience? One man's water and all that....

Last Night Changed It All (LP version)

Great tune but it should be in the 'under £20' forum section. Why would you pay a ton when you can pick up an issue minter off discogs for £15??

This Egyptian Lover 7" is on triangular vinyl with a magnetic sleeve that can be formed into a pyramid The star wars soundtrack which projects a hologram over the vinyl is quite cool and although not vinyl, this Spiritualized album packaging is in the style of pill form medicine with each track on mini CD having to be popped out of the blister pack to be played

As Keb Darge used to respond "you don't know anything!" and if they asked for something we can dance to...."you can't f**king dance!!"
