THIS IS A DOUBLE SIDED DUB PLATE OF FIRSTLY, AN UNRELEASED INSTRUMENTAL BACKING TRACK TO DONNIE ELBERT'S POLYDOR VERSION OF THIS OLD HEART OF MINE. IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY STORMING TRACK AND IF THIS HAD BEEN KNOWN BACK IN 75 IT WOULD HAVE TORN THE CASINO APART. THE SECOND TRACK IS THE UNISSUED BACKING TRACK TO THE BRILLIANT "SHE'S WANTED IN THREE STATES" BY LARRY CLINTON. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN RELEASED. THE ORIGINAL ACETATE OF THE DONNIE ELBERT TRACK WAS SOLD FOR £500 AND I GOT PERMISSION FROM THE NEW OWNER TO CUT THREE DUB PLATES, WHICH I DID, I KEPT ONE, I'VE GOT TWO FOR SALE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE AFTER THESE TWO GO. HAVE A LISTEN...YOU'LL HEAR MICK SMITH PLAY THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE NEXT 100 CLUB

200 / 225 or thereabouts

Harrison Brothers best and also first played; Douglas Gibson uses the same backing track as Harrison Brothers. Luther Ingram rarest, also a great version but not quite as powerful as the other two.

So I finally watched the film. After all that's been said about it, I was left with a feeling of....well nothing really. It wasn't an hour and a half wasted but it's not one that I'll remember for long, I don't think anyone could call the film anything but "okay" to be honest, I enjoyed the dance footage (though I swear I saw two guys leap about 15 feet into the air in one shot) but I thought the scenes shot inside the allnighter suffered from there not being enough people in. The sub plot with his mate Paddy was half arsed as well. So I think I'll agree with Steve above, 4 or maybe 5, have to say I'm disappointed, though I really liked the brunette lead actress, she was 'right bonny'.

Boot is as good a quality as the original - have had both.

One way to tell, if you've got the record in your hand, is to look at the B side, the title fades slighty on the last couple of words. Also there are a few 'pits' in the run off. Plus an original vinyl demo is very, very rare, most are styrene.

I must have played this a thousand times and I could play it another thousand times without getting bored of it, it's absolute perfection and anyone who disagrees with me must surely be the victim of a cruel medical experiment

I am shocked. It's the best Northern record ever made. In my opinion.

That was the one I had - The Monorays, blue vinyl

I had a beautiful blue vinyl Astra single recently..forgot who it was by though - looked amazing

I agree. I'll remove it.

I'd love to see the £500 one - must have been broken!

Thats the bargain of the year then because this is £1000 any day.

The Turnpikes - Cast A Spell - Capitol beauriful EX copy. £85 free postage cheers

Fantastic record.

I wasn't really commenting on the playing out side, just whether they were UK Originals, but you're right up to a point; I've alsways said if it's the local dance round your handbag night, it doesn't matter what it's played off, but as you get to the more serious end of the scene, absolutely spot on Dave.

Whats the title?

I wouldn't play them as orignals, I sell all of those as reissues - I suppose it's where you draw the line if you are a seller, most of those were issued due to Northern demand whereas original UK issues were exactly that - and they became in demand later.

Yeah probably, I was just pre-empting the people who will no doubt post up outraged comments about me putting mine on ebay.

Spot the mug competition, I saw one on Ebay on sunday and thinking it was the Conversation one, I snapped it up, turns out it was Christmas Parade, what a waste of £3 that was...

I'm going to flog my double sided dub so if you hear someone else playing it, you'll know where it came from.

Already done mate, thanks, and they removed the negative feedback.

Thanks Paul, there used to be a power seller 'hotline' but I can't find it now

Sent this guy in Spain a record by registered postage, he said he didn't receive it and put a claim in after 8 days (if he'd have just asked me I'd have refunded him anyway) so I supplied Paypal with all proofs of postage etc and eventually they found in my favour. So he immediately leaves me a negative feedback saying item not received. Can I get this removed seeing as I did nothing wrong? Oh and in case you want to avoid this buyer, his user name is Funkyroom.

pete.smith@freeuk.com 01902 326306 THE DYNAMICS - DON'T BE AFRAID TO LOVE ME - DYNAMIC WHITE DEMO ON YELLOW VINYL This is a really curious one; not listed in Manships price guide on yellow vinyl, no copy ever gone through on Popsike. It's a white demo with the orbit logo, it has some label wear and has MASTER SOUL written in red pen on the label. Playing condition is VG++ with a few clicks but nothing to worry about. Does anyone know if this is a real rarity or was it just overlooked in the guide? Looking at maybe £60 due to condition. THE ARTISTICS - THIS HEART OF MINE - OKEH Has some crap stuck in the grooves at the start which I can't get out so it has a swoosh noise for the first four or five rotations, general condition VG+ with some clicks here and there. £25 LYDIA PENSE - I'LL FORGIVE YOU THEN FORGET YOU - INVADER Brilliant. Mint minus. £75 JONES & BLUMENBERG - THE RIGHT TRACK - VOLT Fantssdtic version second only to Major Lance, and rare as it's only on the issue, not the demo. EX £30 BOBBY McCLURE - YOU GOT ME BABY - CHECKER I've had more UK black Chess copies than I have of this import. Smal Sticker stain on label. EX £30 JULIEN COVEY & THE MACHINE - A LITTLE BIT HURT - BELGIAN FONTANA WITH PICTURE SLEEVE Looks fantastic and is in beautiful shape. EX+ £50 THE TRADITIONS - MY LIFE WITH YOU - BAR CLAY Fantastic stomper, surprised it's still here EX £65 cheers Pete
