What a record though!

Wow no stereotyping in that piece then. Those outfits, once again making it look like we live in a timewarp. The young blokes were great dancers though.

That Ramon Bouche record is possibly the worst thing he's ever auctioned and it must mean my Sacha Distel version of Tomorrow Is Another Day on UK HMV is worth £500, because that's actually really good.

There's not a great deal of bass on the Gold Token release but there's even less on Take 6, very basic recording. You do get Please Don't Go, which is beautiful, but not as good as Deceived.

Well you either called it blue beat or reggae - nobody called it ska and rocksteady at that time

I reckon I could easily sell half a dozen at 600. Didn't know copies had turned up though.

Thank f*ck for that, was going mad without SS

I found out what they were John, all of them. Some were pretty basic like Dobby Dobson - Strange, some New Beats, but also things like Warfare, Tennors on Crab, Delta Cats on Studio One, several on Banana but they'd just had the labels rubbed off. 60 singles sat next to me here, thanks to Daz, now the dust has settled, very happy.

It's an awful; recording though, no bass at all

He's So Fine, not Oh Happy Day

No it works brilliantly. Takes all the crap out of the grooves.

No but the guy said it was cracked to try and get money off, when there was nothing wrong with it. That's fraud in my book. It just happened one too many times on ebay for me so I stopped selling on there. Some buyers on here make me laugh, always trying to get free postage or money off, I wonder if they ask John Manship to give them 10% off or free postage, cos after all, it doesn't cost anything to post records. I bet they don't. I had someone on here bragging about paying thousands for a record then trying to get £10 off a record I was selling for £40.

No. If he's talking about me. he asked for some advice, he sold the record, he was the one who the attempted con was being performed on, he asked me what I'd do and I said I would ask for the record back and refund all of the money, and whatever you do, don't give a partial refund. So you are missing something here.

This is why I stopped selling on Ebay - people trying it on all the time - well done for coming on and saying so.

There's no Hmmm about it, Rocksteady was officially pronounced dead in early 1968, there are very few examples of the rocksteady rhythm being created after 1967, Pat kelly is pure reggae.

No, it's a 70's re recording and reissue. Original Jamaican release is actually on Pama. And it's reggae not rocksteady, to be accurate

If anyone's got info on this Pama Supreme release could they forward it please? Can't find anything. Did find a Jamaican release on a label called Disney though!

I think I'd want £600 for it..

Wouldn't know what to ask!

Reason I can be so sure is because I recorded Pep's spot and on the following saturday, took the tape into his shop to ask him what the record was. Also first play that night for Bell Boys via Alan Rhodes. Four r & g's and four pondrax. I remember that as well. and the being sick next morning

I've got this, but it doesn't have that on the other side, it has Think It Over on the other side (New Beat 063)

Julius Wechter was played covered up as MIke Post - Feelings in August 77, first play at the Casino was 4th Anniversary by Pep, not his copy, someone asked him to play it, you can oput it down but that is one brilliant instrumental. Esperanto was slightly later, end 77 start 78, only played for 3 or 4 weeks before it was booted, thankfully, and I guess if Paul heard Sam play Cartoon candy at Wigan then I must have stopped going, I only remember it from Birmingham Locarno and that would have been August September 78.

I've got a posh accent!

Yes it was played off the LP The Legendary Zing Album (I think thats right) and was massive so they got it issued as a 45.

The Jam box is just ridiculously cheap.
