Yup, it’s great salesmanship, and it works. The next copy that comes up will likely be the more desirable east coast VINYL press.

I still buy original 45s but not nearly as many as I used to. Two reasons, some prices seemed to be getting ridiculous and I'm at an age where my ownership of these items will now be less than half the time I've actually been chasing them. Sure, there may be a younger generation of buyers behind us, but I think the demand/supply ratio will significantly even out. And what of the current crop of record dealers themselves? They won't be here forever either.

My sister is a volunteer in a large British Heart Foundation shop, she tells me that theft is an almost daily occurrence. Shoplifting is nothing new, but theft from charity shops shows how far we have sunk.

I trust that you’ll get a full refund from the seller without any problems. Good luck my friend 👍

According to Discogs, there is a 2014 boot of this 45. These are photos of my copy. The width of the run-in area is considerably wider. So the copy on eBay is likely to be a boot. Note that the original is quite thick and flexes very little. Strange thing is, the seller kicked the auction off at £180, so it appears he thought it to be the genuine article.

Your latest one is the whole thing, so if @Mike feels mine should be taken down, that suits me 👍

You're correct, but I can understand why the question has been asked about this one. The label is exceptionally clean and the other stuff the guy was selling was either 'reissue' Northern or cheap Pop records. If it is the genuine article, it was a bit of a bargain...

There's no point in repeating what is already uploaded, so this takes up where the one that Chalky has ends and also features a quick chat between Janice and John Peel on the subject of NS at the end. Some of the music has been chopped in order to get the file size down. Guy Hennigan Interview.wav

Agreed, his recollections do sometimes seem a bit off the mark 😊 I was in the process of throwing the cassettes out, but thought I’d park the recordings here before doing so.
