I'd buy Billy Vera I think. Love the Idle Few.

IF you decide to buy UK Tamla Motown's you'll pay tons more than US ones...

Black issue??? Semi black do they mean?

Well if it's been reissued it's not going to have the proper stamped details in the run off like on the 77 release.

Not bad but there's better versions..

Yeah about that.

No if it's purple stock copy it's a reissue, official, from 1974-ish. If it's a white demo on vinyl, then it may well be a boot.

No but my missus does!

A friend of mine has a mint red and white demo WITH press release and 'cartoon' (they illustrated each title with a cartoon) in a Polydor promo folder. Neh-neh! But that's To The Ends Of The Earth. Paris Blues never came out on UK Polydor. If you want to know anything about British, you only have to ask me

That's interesting, "35 secs that's all you're getting" he said...wonder who posted it?

I think Billy Vera wrote the song so maybe this is his demo?

It's the one mentioned above mate, The Four Winds, it's absolutely shocking.

That's brilliant, think it's the only one of the great Hi tracks I hadn't got.

Slow day?

I can't reply for Toad.

"then surely a bit of rnb isn't the end of the precious wigan northern soul scene is it? ;-)" cut and paste of the tongue in cheek quote that Toad is referring to

Oi! I thought it was relevant as there was a deliberately provocative comment about Wigan crossed out in that post.

It is unusual for a buyer to only use one seller Rod. I pointed this out with someone who was blatantly shill bidding a few months back, sells records then they mysteriously appear again weeks later. I reported him and I hope he got kicked off.

Yeah it's a quote from John.

But it wasn't a joke!

Yes, I threw it away and just kept the fluid!

It's all over
