Greetings Record Collectors, just thought you might enjoy maybe browsing my blog site to have a look at some of the rarest / most interesting UK releases from the 60's. The only rule is that they have to have been in my possession, no copying off other websites. There are a five hundred scans of rare records and I have just added the following: BETTYE SWANN - CBS DEMO LITTLE RICHARD - COLUMBIA DEMO PHIL PRATT - CALTONE THE HIPPY BOYS - TROJAN EARL VAN DYKE - REDIFFUSION ACETATE EBONY KEYES - PICCADILLY MARVIN GAYE - ORIOLE DEMO BIG JOE - DIP RIGHTEOUS FLAMES - FAB THE MINSTRELS - STUDIO ONE CHRIS CLARK - TAMLA MOTOWN DEMO THE BLUES BUSTERS - DOCTOR BIRD A BAND OF ANGELS - PICCADILLY DEMO BARBARA LYNN - LONDON TEST PRESS JACKIE EDWARDS - IDLAND DYNAMITE ORCHESTRA - SUE and breaking with tradition, the first two USA records I've ever put on the site, DEL LARKS and THE SALVADORS. Find it all at LOST VINYL WORLD OF THE 60's https://lostvinylgemsofthe60s.blogspot.co.uk/

Check the matrixes again if you get chance Dennis, I thought they were the same?

He knew mate

Had loads like that. Sold a Linda Glass recently with a very long dedication from her to her neice I think it was. Had a Holly St James where she had dedicated the sleeve, was to her sister I think. And a Pye UK issue of "Joe 90 Theme" signed and dedicated by the great Barry Gray.

That looks like it was a white demo, been coloured yellow LOL - also that is a West Coast pressing and he wants Chicago press

That Fork In The Road Ember stock copy is ten times rarer than Timi Yuro as well - yet I only got £400 for it - it's so off the radar hardly anyone knows of it.

Think it might be blue plastic label or early 70's blue/white shaded

Actually I don't agree with this, I had both in my hands and although it only lasts a minute and a half, there is no massive run out groove.

What about the UK Liberty LP?

I see! Used to be lots of do's in Eastbourne though :-)

Runs from Dover!

That Betty Lavette is torturing me

In that case I"m going to start a campagne to get me to read all threads

I'm going to start a campaign to teach you how to spell campaign

First Choice doesn't actually exist on a Pye Int demo, it's a Pye acetate. I remember Mick showing it me along with another Pye acetate of a Disco Demand tune that never actually came out, can't remember what it was now but I definitely sold it to him. He also says he still has a Ben E King - Can't break the news Atlantic test press. Both sides yellow labels. One side has the title typed on (Goodnight My Love) the other is blank. Says he has had 4 copies and they have all been like that.

Jimmy Robins - I can't please you

Am happy to do so, I hope you enjoy yours too. In peace. Pete

No but what I meant before Ian, if it's say an unissued 2 copy only Pye Disco Demand test press of say Stemmons Express, it's not going to make the juices flow as if it were a 2 copy only 1966 Pye International test press...just because it's from the 70's. And as for not saying what is is..really..Alan Klein's dead now you know

No but what's the quote about not being able to see the future unless you know the past...or something like that. And whatever age you are, there are just some records that you have to have as an essential part of a DJ's toolkit, in case of emergency break glass and play "Cause You're Mine" sort of thing.

What do you mean, pushed him to that point? original post: I do. It was a totally different world back then. Can you imagine being threatened to be beaten up for wearing a soul patch to a venue you'd never been to? I was. You could not just walk in and think you were the dogs nads, you had to do your time. If that's not the case now, and it obviously isn't, then that's great for you, but don't disrespect people like Chalky coming on here trying to explain what it was like back then, it won't do you any favours. Young flash gits with money will never get any respect from me. Nev you've become so predictable you're like some weird stalker-cum-troll, you can guarantee if I make a post, 90% of the time you'll be there with a negative or mocking comment, and noticeably not just on my posts either...except it's usually at night.

Didn't say it was, but his original post was quite disrespectful to anyone older not in his clique, as is this one. We obviously see things differently. But I have to go to Aldi now.

Neil did that the other day with Tommy Neal, I did tell him :-)

Sorry if it sounded out of order, what I meant was that the majority of people who go out on a friday or saturday night wouldn't know most of those records, simple as that - if we say 90% of all venues are oldies / handbag, it'd go down like the proverbial lead balloon.

So did your Mommy know you'd been to a club or did you sneak out? I haven't got any badges, but I did have some, from the places I visited, places you can only dream about. It'll take you 30 years to catch up with the knowledge and experience most people on here have so enjoy the ride, but nobody really gives two sh*ts whether "young people" dj or not.

Mick wrote his own credits on his first one though so was probably blank both sides, I've got a scan of it somewhere.
