Tomangoes, Ellingtons, Popcorn Wylie Etc Grapevine Demos
Dave you're thinking of something else, this was a legitimitely released 45 which made it into the shops, albeit only a few of them in Detroit.

Tomangoes, Ellingtons, Popcorn Wylie Etc Grapevine Demos
The only thing actually wrong with the sound quality is that they dubbed it off an original disc which is not mint on the intro, otherwise, no problem

Scooter Rally Single
Wasn't that an Inferno release? You might be optimistic about that £2 value

Tomangoes, Ellingtons, Popcorn Wylie Etc Grapevine Demos
It was withdrawn, John Anderson said he wasn't happy with the sound quality, so they sold the pressed up demos and stock copies for pennies.

Ike & Tina.....jm's Suggests That The Promo Is Rare...is It?
Wouldn't say it was 'very rare', nice though. £40 or thereabouts I'd have said. £25-£30 for the second design.

" Psycho " Podcast (Soul Doo-Wop R&b 60's Etc)
https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/psycho/ I was watching an episode of The Simpsons the other night and there was a 20 second clip, obviously from a film soundtrack, I knew it but just couldn't place it...after a couple of hours I realised it was from the movie Psycho and I consequently tracked it down. This inspired me to search for some other psycho-inspired mayhem and the results are this podcast featuring all sorts of crazies, psychos and madmen. There's a bit of everything: rockabilly, rocksteady, punk, freakbeat, rock & roll, soul, doo-wop, ska, punk and popcorn and it hangs together really well does this one. Give it a go, you'd be mad not to... BERNARD HERRMANN - PSYCHO (SUITE FOR STRING ORCHESTRA) BOBBY HAMILTON - CRAZY EYES FOR YOU THE CONTINENTALS - GOING CRAZY THE CREATURES - MAD EYED SCREAMER THE FIVE ROYALES - CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY THE FROGMEN - THE MAD RUSH GENE LA MARR - THAT CRAZY LITTLE HOUSE ON THE HILL HUGH GODFREY - MAD WORLD LITTLE JEANETTE - CRAZY CRAZY NELLI MANOU - CRAZY GIRL PRINCE BUSTER - MADNESS ROCKY BILL FORD - MAD DOG IN TOWN JOHNNY OSBOURNE - MUDERER RONNIE LAVELLE - CRAZY WAYS OF LOVE THE SONICS - PSYCHO THE CLASH - SOMEBODY GOT MURDERED THE COUNT FIVE - PSYCHOTIC REACTION THE CRAIG - I MUST BE MAD THE UPSETTERS - MAD HOUSE THE FALL - PSYCHO MAFIA WANDA JACKSON - HOT DOG THAT MADE HIM MAD WILLIE MABON - I'M MAD WINSTON'S FUMBS - REAL CRAZY APARTMENT THE EPSILONS - MAD AT THE WORLD

I sell that for £6. On the subject of postage, someone's just charged me £8 for three singles, 2nd class recorded. Actual cost is less than £2. I'm not paying it.

More Blatant Bootlegs ?
He's not using a picture of an original - THAT is the bootleg - one of around 200 mainly R&B records pressed up 18 months ago by someone in the UK, they also include very good lookalikes of Charles Sheffield and Shirley Lawson but are always sold as reissues. Phil (Enthucol) specialises 99% of the time in reggae and ska, mainly reissues.

Would Anyone Grade This Record Ex+ ? (Bought On Soul Source)
I mention if it's got one 'pop' on the intro or maybe crackle before record starts, anything to help describe it better, things that people never mention to me when I buy off them LOL trouble is, they think if you point out a tiny pop or single click, the record's actually going to be shagged. Can't win.
-
Would Anyone Grade This Record Ex+ ? (Bought On Soul Source)
It is vg minus but if it plays better then thats when you have to double grade. Visually vg minus, plays ex or whatever.
-
Would Anyone Grade This Record Ex+ ? (Bought On Soul Source)
He said definite no-no Chalky - that's tarring everyone with the same brush. Most of my sales are on commission, 20%, that's why I ask for paypal gift. But I suppose if you don't know the person it's best to be cautious.

Kent Previously Unreleased Track On Lp's And Cd's
Think you're right, there's a fault on the intro on the original, the only difference on that acetate though is on the backing vocals though I think.

What Did Toni Washington On Kon-Ti Go For At Auction?

What Did Toni Washington On Kon-Ti Go For At Auction?
Anyone know, this was on one of JM's auctions recently, whether it went all the way or withdrawn I don't know but I can't find it so does anyone know? It's TONI WASHINGTON - GOOD TIMES - KON TI, a really fast dancer.

Kent Previously Unreleased Track On Lp's And Cd's
Ady - when I first heard that I'll Be Loving You, having only got the mono 45, I also thought it was a totally different recording. Especially the guitar intro. If I could find a list of the first 50 or so LP's (not cd's) I can throw some titles into the ring from memory.
