Taking It Away (would be breaking my heart) - UK Philips Dutch group (not the heavy rock band)

No it's on an issue as well mate, I"ve had one, it got pulled after a week or something like that

Jon Ford - You got me where you want me - Philips issue £125 demo £250 - £300 not a lot of people know this but the demo is a different mix to the issue Now here is one you may not know, probably a one off JAYBOY BOY 72 hand written test press side 1 Bobby Garrett - I Can't Get Away side 2 Bob & Earl Band - My little girl Bob & Earl Band was BOY 73 so this obviously is a cock up when they were pressing 72 & 73, but it does exist (Mick Smith)

Everything sold removed, practically every record on here now reduced to clear

Not trying to plug my sale honestly but I foundf an interview with Linda Lewis where she talks about getting the contract with Polydor at the age of 14 and recording You Turned My Bitter Into Sweet by listening to the Mary Love version, and that Jimmy Page played on it...well I thought it was dead interesting, start at about 4 minutes in if you want to skip the childhood memories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N3ZcV4fzh0

Definitely Steve.

Robert L Martin = Fluffy Falana "My little cottage" - I realise people know this but on the track list it still has the cover up name

James Walsh Gypsy Band - funny how thats actually got cheaper last couple of years Mickey Moonshine demo is rare, £75

I'd agree with those prices also.

Dexy's Midnight Runners-Geno 7" $4 EMI 77011 Canada 1980 Side A Geno Side B Seven Days Too Long from the quick bit of research I did, not mention of a USA release, just this Canadian one, not on a 7" anywhere else

I dunno mate, it doesn't really have any relevence does it? The record I mean, not your question.

It was. Dave got it off Pete Wid, as mentioned, Mick got it when he bought Dave's collection after he died.

This doesn't really have any significance but thought I'd mention it, on the acetate This Is The House is in stereo and One Step Away is in mono..

I know, I'm one

I'm not convinced about this and I never have been, ever since I first heard about it 25 odd years ago, I'd like to see some proof that that was the single allocated that catalogue number, it does come in a run of Scepter licensed releases but it could have been anything...bit like a "Volumes on Pama" scenario. If someone comes up with a finished demo copy, I will eat my wig.

Only to collectors of poor cover versions.

Yeah someone did mention that earlier. Fantastic record. £250 - £300. Which puts it in the expensive range. Don't think anyone mentioned Skullsnaps - My Hang Up Is You £75 for a demo on GSF.

But that number you quote would have been a 1973 release.

I think it was probably just a Pye studios acetate, if anything it would have come out on Bell, it came out in the UK on the Bell LP.

Pye acetate - I wouldn't rate this as being too collectable to be honest, if it was a vinyl test pressing then yes but as everyone knows, it's so easy to fake an acetate.

Knickerbockers - Wishful Thinking. Still no sign of a stock copy of this. Charles Lamont - I've got to keep moving. Jimmy Seals - Yesterday of our love - best dancer on the label.

The topic is "What are the rarest UK releases of the 70's" but most of these are just semi-rare modern soul records worth £20.

YOu do all know that there is a third press which is a bootleg right?

Bobby Sheen by a country mile...
