Daz I've got practically all of those, let me know what you still need and I'll do you a set sale list, no auctions, no offers, decent prices mainly 5 to 10 quid. Anyone else need any pressings, I picked up another 300 in the week so I do have a large amount in stock, 6 or 700 US & UK I should think.

The tune, it's a mess with no hooklines and no decent chorus. It's also badly produced. I know others like it, it's just not for me.

It was never that popular even when first bootlegged. Probably because it wasn't very good.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/mayfairmenthol/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Impression stock copy is the rarest version. As Kev says, from my memory also, it's a different mix.

Had loads like that, one last week in fact, someone gave me a bag full of records, it really was the worst pile of rubbish you can imagine, Kylie & Jason, Cliff Richard, horrible 80's stuff, and one 60's record - a rare skinhead reggae record called "Organism" by Anonymously Yours on Duke. Seen this go for £75. No other 60's records at all. How did it get there?

Dave I can give you the software you need to mix the podcast and show you where to upload it. You just need to get the music together on a cd or usb. As your decks seem to be miles away from your pc, I doubt you can record directly into the pc.

From a list in sales yesterday - what? 32* THE FOUR VANDELLS THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN BOARDWALK 100

Indeed, well done for listing them all Kev, I asked Ian to but never heard anything, lazy sod

I know this above is an old post but I have the same problem as Kevin above, I'll Get Along Somehow / I've Forgotten How To Cry, Hour Glass HG 009. Can't find a value (if any)

That's whatsisname...Barry...Baz...can't remember...used to sell only originals, had lots of good stuff off them over the years

Well I think at the end of the day, Ian is going to be quietly pleased at the reaction to this podcast. Only a handful of out and out slatings, people split 50/50 on the content and lots of positive comments. And over 5000 views generating a lot of publicity. Saturday will be interesting I'm sure.

About 8, 10 years ago maybe. Always done in time for the weekenders they were.

Mick it's got a completely different artist on the B side...

I've got loads of 70's motown green and white demos, I wouldn't start any of them off at more than £9.99

Blimey!

Dunno about Italian, it appears to be German only and it came from Ebay Germany so it was pretty hard to find. I don't like it either though.

It's not one of those doctored recordings is it, James Fountain with the pitch changed to make it sound like a woman?

Ah right, well at least I can say ' featuring mel Britt' now

That's because they're the same company..

Probably before your time Eddie but that Kenny Williams record was actually from a tv advert of the time for 'Babe' perfume, people liked the music so they issued it as a single and it went top 30 soon after.
