David Balfe?? Surely not of "Teardrop Explodes" fame, he must have only been about 12 years old then! As for where they hear it - same as over here I guess, acetates sent from songwriters to publishing companies and then given to management for their clients.

I might be a day out either side mate, that was some weekend for me cos on the friday I "did it with a lady" for the first time and the next night I went to Wigan for the first time...I was a bit pleased with myself

Off the top of my head, I think the writers were Mason/Reed, I noticed this first time I ever saw the Ted Wilson label, therefore the Jason Cord is the original as these two were major purveyors of 60's UK pop.

I would have definitely had these but I've got to pay for 70 ska records, if they are still there next week, I'll have them

My Heart's Symphony has a very nice string arrangement though

April 13th 1976

No Steve it was 100% definitely The Supremes, I had the tape I did for years after and played it a lot.

Thats weird, the first time I ever went to Wigan, Evison played that and I couldn't believe it. Still can't ...

Careful with this one though, there's also a brilliant lookalike vinyl boot which is very rare, would pass off as an original except (like the monarch press) it has p.b. in the run off

"Juggs" - top read

I got a copy of Wess Oliver - Keep the faith and there was actually a bit missing from the record that wasn't in the package

Jimmy Raye

A few days maybe. The only DJ I ever heard play it was John Manship (of all people) p.s. in 1972-73 I was 12-13 so couldn't get to many venues unless I saved my dinner money

I was at a match at Molineux in 1982 and for some reason the dj played "Sherry" by Hugo Montenegro!!!!

Nah I don't get it, very poor then and now

No, I thought it would be funny to say "there's no such record" for no reason at all. In fact I laughed out loud when I read it back. Little things please little minds

This is the same as the one I've got. Got a perfect recording of it if anyone wants a dub cut. Personally, I think it's crap.

What was it anyway? p.s. Proberley

Kev, I don't know if this is true but I was told by someone who'd met him that Mr Wiggles was the black equivalent of a redneck and he detested white people!

I like the backing but the singer is awful. Keeps going flat.

I'm not sure about this idea of turning records into ashtrays. Surely, if you flick your cigarette into a melted record, the ash would escape through the centre hole and therefore be a health hazard. There is also the chance that the smell of burning vinyl could affect your central nervous system. Therefore I ask that the moderators ban BillytheBoot for encouraging such stupid and dangerous practises

No, there's no such record :graynone:

No I can't mate, too busy, still recording dvd's, while doing a tape for the car and trying to get tracks ready for the next lot of acetates to be cut! I'll be back after 6..

I've got Carletta. Honestly don't remember it sounding anything like a Harthon production though. Steve if you want it I'll dig it out but it's on a tape so I'd have to tape it, convert to cd, transfer to pc, make into mp3, post it up, so actually forget everything I just said, I haven't got it.

:graynone:
