Well I can put your mind at rest about GSL being played in the main room, Russ played it after Alan Rhodes set saying that it was the original of the then very popular Taj Mahal "A lot of love", I've got it on tape.

Well it didn't hang around because it wasn't offered to anyone else - I sold two huge collections to one guy - but I promise, if it was worth £300 I'd have asked £300. John Manships auction copy went for over £400 - before that, it was a standard£150 to £250. Thats why I mentioned it.

I remember doing a Brighton record fair with Mick Smith, around the year 2000, and this local Brighton lad came up with a Parisians and said to Mick, do you want this for £125, Mick looks at me and says "Is this any good" and I said yeah, pretty good, so he looks at it and says...nah, not interested, so I said I'll have it - I think I sold it to Warren, might be wrong, £300 or something like that. Never, ever back then thought it would go higher than that.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

You often find this in Northern collections of 'older' guys, it was played just before it charted so I was told, Chateau Impney etc

That was the guy who originally had it Steve, Ian I think it is, from Yorkshire, been a long time since I dealt with him but remember him sending the scan to me

I didn't think it existed until I someone sent me a scan about 12 years back, I think Tim Brown has it....got to be 2 to 3 grand?

For a start, it's on vinyl, there may be original vinyl demos but every copy I've had has been styrene, the counterfeit has some light bubbling in the run off, kind of pitted marks, also the print definition isn't as sharp as it should be on the counterfeit.

It's an out and out counterfeit. Have to admit, I sold mine for £150 but I said I'd never said it's my all time favourite NS record but when this guy offered me £150 for a £5 pressing, I thought I'd be mad not to take it. I would want £100 for it now myself.

Sorry that's rubbish, just because Manship auctions one for £400, doesn't mean people are like sheep and have to follow, I sold this last week on pink Turbo in VG++ for £175, if it had been mint I'd have maybe asked £250 absolute maximum, it's a brilliant record but it's not worth anything like you lot are hyping it up to. As for it rarely cropping up, I think if we go back through my lists we'll find 5 in the last 5 years, which is only 1 a year but that's just me. Stop hyping prices up for no reason.

The book is superb Gary, you should indeed be very proud, fantastic research. And that was only chapter one. Get your monies out everyone, an absolute bargain.

Many thanks guys

Is this anything - Frank Mitchell Jr - Booty Look - Disco 45? Never heard of it - was in a load of stuff I bought - but can't find any for sale. Presuming it's a newish release..

Don't know about late 70's Steve, neither version was played until end of 77 start of 78

Spot on, vocal was never played, yet when booted they put the vocal on both sides!

It did, there's a clip of people dancing to The Champion, some 'proper' dancers from m/c were recruited for it

I buy from the on ebay mate, hang on https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/soundswholesale?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2754

iPhone 4, mint condition except for tiny tiny dent at bottom, no scratches front or back as has always been in a cover, 16gig, and it's UNLOCKED and jailbroken. Second hand unlocked one like this would cost you upwards of £180 in Game and CEX. Selling this for £135 plus £7 registered post. I can put 3000 or so audio tracks on it as well if required and any apps, sat nav etc.

Loads. I buy in bulk from Soundsunlimited Wholesale. MIles cheaper than anyone else.

Reason I said I didn't want to get into debate about the dates of these records is because yes, they may have been played before, but they were popular in the 80's, that's all. I know you're right Ian / Chalky cos Ian Levine briefly mentions it in Black Music.

No what it was; Preview was a label that advertised song-poem facilities where for a fee, you could send them your poems and (however bad they were) they would make it into a proper record. Rodd Keith was the main artist and recorded hundreds of these records. At least four have the same backing as Like The Lord Said.

Must have been a mega flop then! First person I ever heard play it was Pep on Dave Evison's show
