John Manship is adamant that it was, I just think there are two different pressings of it

Once upon a time maybe, not now, knock 100 off all of those prices. I once had correspondence with the guy who either pressed or financed this record, can't remember if I posted the info up or not, but he said there were equal amounts pressed of L Allen and Larry Allen. Funny how the latter seems rarer.

PLAIN SAILING * * * * * https://podcastmachine.com/podcasts/4425/episodes/28921 This is another of those non-soul non-reggae compilations. People love these, honestly, they tell me so, but they get the least downloads. Still, it's what I set up the channel for, to broadcast anything, so here's some more of my favourites. Quite a lot of this stuff charted so we've got classic pop as the main theme. The TRACY THORN track is a beautiful acoustic near-hit circa 1983. DUNCAN BROWNE is a forgotten single from 72 which just about troubled the top 30 at the time. The intro of PETULA CLARK's brilliant I Know A Place is remarkably similar to Rufus Lumley's "I'm Standing"! THE ASSOCIATION are possibly the most underrated US 60's hitmakers, I've never heard a bad song by them. Three tracks from DAVID BOWIE, Quicksand from my all time favourite album Hunky Dory, the great John I'm Only Dancing 45 from 1972, and the at the time unissued ballad cut at Sigma Sound for the Young Americans LP but dropped in favour of Across The Universe - boo! * * * * * BOY KILL BOY, don't know who they are but they've done a note for note copy of the fantastic Joe Jackson song It's Different For Girls, it's excellent. THE JAGS, THE STRANGLERS, ELVIS COSTELLO, THE POLICE, WRECKLESS ERIC; reminders of that fantastic period from 78 to 81 when Punk and PowerPop ruled. Early singles from SLADE, MARC BOLAN, CHRIS FARLOWE and PINK FLOYD. And 38 years ago, if you'd have told me that when I was 50 I would be including a DAVID CASSIDY record on a compilation I'd made, I'd have said you were mad. * * * * * There's some classic 60's music from THE VELVET UNDERGROUND and THE BEACH BOYS, a rockabilly belter from the JOHNNY BURNETTE TRIO, an excellent early NIRVANA radio session track, good 80's singles from THE BEAT and JOBOXERS and that's about it I think. We end with a very underrated tune from THE TEARDROP EXPLODES. Goodnight. * * * * * * * * * * Tracy Thorn - Plain Sailing / Duncan Browne - Journey / The Beat - Save It For Later / Petula Clark - I Know A Place / The Association - Along Comes Mary / Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper / The Police - Can't Stand Losing You / David Bowie - Quicksand / Boy Kill Boy - It's Different For Girls / Wreckless Eric - Whole Wide World / Nirvana - Molly's Lips / Johnny Burnette Trio - Train Kept A-Rolling / Joboxers - Just Got Lucky / Dexys Midnight Runners - There There My Dear / The Jags - Back Of My Hand / The Stranglers - Nice 'N Sleazy / Tyrannosaurus Rex - King Of The Rumbling Spires / Chris Farlowe - Out Of Time / David Bowie - John I'm Only Dancing / The Velvet Undergound - Venus In Furs / The Pink Floyd - See Emily Play / Marc Bolan - The Wizard / Elvis Costello - Alison / David Bowie - It's Gonna Be Me / The Beach Boys - The Warmth Of The Sun / Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love / David Cassidy - Daydreamer / The Teardrop Explodes - Tiny Children.

I'll see what I can do - I've got them, it's just the quality might need tweaking a bit

No I like both of those Eddie, did then, do now!

I still don't believe that there is a counterfeit, one has a dip towards the centre, one doesn't as far as I remember.

Thanks Paul, I shall indeed contact Simon.

No denying that Dave but the first post asks if he dj'd on 24/9/77, which I don't think he did

Thanks, will do

OK thanks Kev!

I went to that and taped most of the night and no way did Ian Levine do a spot. Martyn Ellis did but apart from that, same dj's as usual.

No.

Believe it or not, Gap have started doing these straight leg Sta-press trousers of their own, bit expensive at £35 but fit nice and look good too. I really need a suit jacket or two!

I'll move it if you think that's where it should be, but it wasn't really actually All About The Soul!

What did you think about tbis particular instance then Chalky?

If they are, it contradicts you posting it though Dave, if they already know, why bother telling them again? I'm not having a go, the opposite in fact, the more info the better I'm just asking if it should be done or not.

I refer you to this post here's someone trying to sell a record but (at the time of writing this) there are two comments from other members about it. You can look at this a couple of ways. Firstly, that's wrong to comment on someone's price and possibly scupper his sales. But secondly, it's letting people know that the same record is available regularly on ebay for less money and in better condition. So really it could be seen as being in the interests of the site in general. The seller os obviously going to be upset that people have commented negatively about his sales post, but other people may be glad that they may be able to get the record cheaper. I don't think there's any solution to this really. I know I've wanted to comment hundreds of times after seeing massively overpriced records for sale or records in VG being offered for the price of a mint one, but I can't remember the last time I actually did. Any thoughts? (Changes are possibly in place for a radical reworking of the entire sales section).

I've got some lovely colour footage of The Blues Busters, it's late, around 1983 recorded at an oldies festival in New York but they are tremendous, with their matching outfits they look like a throwback to the 60's. Can't remember what they sang unfortunately. Big Youth is on the same show, as is a very drunk Delroy Wilson who is so bad that they cut his set short after he appears to drop his trousers!

I might just take you up on that!

Thanks for the link reg. £45 for a Brutus shirt. Last time I bought one I think it was 7.99

OK mate, cheers

PETE SMITH 4 BLAKELEY HEATH DRIVE WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WV5 0HW Pete.smith@freeuk.com 01902 326306 or 07784 507360 MORE WOUNDED RECORDS FOR SALE If you remember, I did a list of wounded records back end of last year, some hissed, some had cracks or scratches, anyway that was an amazingly successful list for some reason, so now that I have accumulated a fair number of records which fit the above description, I decided it was time to try again. All are USA originals and all have been graded honestly and to the best of my ability. EDDIE ALSTON - GONNA GET ME A WATCHDOG - BARRY To all intents and purposes this looks like an EX copy but it is cracked around where the run off meets the label. You cant see it or feel it unless you slightly bend the record. 20.00 DON COVAY - SOMEBODYS GOT TO LOVE - ATLANTIC Vinyl is VG++ but has a water damaged label 5.00 THE CORVELLS - HES SO FINE - LU PINE DEMO Vinyl strong VG++ but has lots of label wear especially at top and to the left 10.00 THE CARTER BROTHERS - SHES SO FINE - JEWEL SOLD Looks like sh*t, plays fine with a bit of crackle in the background. Label has ringwear. 5.00 CANDY & THE KISSES - THE 81 - CAMEO Scruffy looking vinyl, sticker on the label over artists name 5.00 BETTY EVERETT - IVE GOT A CLAIM ON YOU - ONEDERFUL SOLD Looks VG+ and has a few marks but plays EX 20.00 THE ETHICS - THERELL STILL BE A SWEET TOMORROW - VENT DEMO Not much wrong with this - nice glossy copy with a couple of marks and one or two tiny background pops 25.00 THE EMPIRES - COME HOME GIRL - CHAVIS Looks VG+, plays with a little background hiss which can be eradicated by turning the treble down. Nice doo-wop type sound 15.00 THE 5TH DIMENSION - CALIFORNIA SOUL - SOUL CITY Nothing really wrong with this, has a bump on the run in which makes a noise on one rotation 5.00 LOWELL FULSOM - TRAMP - KENT Marker pen writing on the label, VG crackles mainly at the start 5.00 KELLY GARRETT - LOVES THE ONLY ANSWER - SMASH This one is even more upsetting than Ellie...looks solid mint, until you play it, and it hisses all the way through but only in one channel. If you switch to the other channel, it plays mint! I can only describe it as a non-too aggressive hiss as by the time she gets going you dont really notice because the music is so loud but yes, it has styrene hiss in one channel. 50.00 GLORIA GAYNOR - SHELL BE SORRY - JOCIDA This ones cracked right across and has been repaired on the B side. Plays with light tick throughout 5.00 DOLORES GIBSON - I GOT A FEELING - ELLOMA Very light background noise otherwise a pretty solid performer. Mild ringwear. 25.00 RONNIE GAYLORD & BURT HOLIDAY - LOVE WHERE HAVE YOU GONE - PALMER Hardly anything wrong with this one..couple of marks, bit of label wear, otherwise..fine! 15.00 FRED HUGHES - BABY BOY - BRUNSWICK Lots of ring wear on the label, vinyl VG to VG+ 5.00 HIGH VOLTAGE - COUNTRY ROAD - COLUMBIA DEMO Nice copy but has a little half inch crack on the edge, plays with barely a noise at all 15.00 IMPERIAL WONDERS YOU LIVE ONLY ONCE SOLID FOUNDATION Crackles all the way through 5.00 JOYCE JONES HELP ME MAKE UP MY MIND ATCO DEMO Crack right on the run in, otherwise fine 10.00 JIMMY JONES YESTERDAYS MISTAKES TWINIGHT Light background noise and marks on the vinyl, rare crossover 20.00 WALTER JACKSON DEEP IN THE HEART OF HARLEM OKEH Some marks and the odd pop VG+ 10.00 WALTER JACKSON SPECIAL LOVE OKEH Same as above 10.00 NORMA JENKINS ME, MYSELF AND I CARNIVAL Same as above, bit of ringwear and wol 15.00 BOBBY JONES TALKIN BOUT JONES EXPO Some very light marking but barely anything wrong with this 15.00 GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS GIVING UP MAXX DEMO Some clicks and pops 5.00 AL KENT YOUVE GOT TO PAY THE PRICE RIC TIC Edge crack which hasnt gone through, if you know what I mean, plays perfect 5.00 KEITH AINT GONNA LIE MERCURY Cant actually see or hear anything wrong with this one! EX 5.00 HOAGY LANDS IM YOURS ABC DEMO Light crackle at times 15.00 THERESA LINDSAY GOTTA FIND A WAY CORREC-TONE Detroit address. VG+, not much wrong with this one. LITTLE RICHARD POOR DOG OKEH SOLD VG 5.00 MAJOR LANCE EVERYBODY LOVES A GOOD TIME OKEH VG+ 8.00 WILLIE WEST DONT YOU WANT A MAN LIKE ME RUSTONE SOLD Great R&B, looks a bit used, plays great, wol 20.00 MARVIN SMITH WHO WILL DO YOUR RUNNING NOW MAYFIELD Scruffy copy with edge crack, plays really well and crack barely sounds. Easily get away with DJing with this. 30.00 KELL OSBOURNE YOU CANT OUTSMART A WOMAN LOMA SOLD Has a warp which does not affect play, and the beginnings of a crack right on the edge (not gone through) but seriously this plays EX minus at very worst. What is it, 150 mint? 35.00 THE NATURALS DONT JUST STAND THERE PATH Cracked all the way across but not gone through ring wear but plays with barely a click. Another 100 quid plus one. 25.00 ROSCOE ROBINSON THATS ENOUGH GERRI This looks absolutelt fine but I p;layed it and it skipped a groove at the start, cant see a scratch so must be a pressing fault. Shame. 25.00 THE LOST GENERATION YOURE SO YOUNG BUT YOURE SO TRUE BRUNSWICK Lots of ringwear and small writing on label, vinyl is EX 10.00 VAN McCOY BABY DONT TEASE ME ROCKN Known or not? Listed in JM as the ballad side, this ones a good early dancer. Ring wear and VG, plays VG++ 10.00 JIMMY McCRACKLIN LET THE DOOR HIT YOU MINIT Background hiss throughout 5.00 THE MARVELLOS YOURE SUCH A SWEET THING LOMA Little chip on outer edge, not anywhere near playing surface, vinyl EX- plays great 15.00 BOBBY MOORE & THE RHYTHM ACES I WONT CRY CHECKER VG+ and wol 5.00 THE MYSTIC MOODS ASTRAL TRIP WARNER BROS Has a minute crack right on the run in, took me ages to find it, otherwise an EX condition issue stock copies of this are tough to find 25.00 THE MASQUERADERS I AINT GONNA STOP AGP VG plays with background crackle at times 5.00 THE NOTATIONS I CANT STOP TWINIGHT Big scratch on A side which is audible at times 5.00 THE NOTATIONS I CANT STOP TWINIGHT WHITE DEMO Couple of marks, no problems with this one really 10.00 THE OVATIONS THEY SAY GOLDWAX Again, no real problems with this EX- 10.00 THE PLAYERS WHY DID I LIE MINIT Very minor background noise, lovely track, mild ring wear 15.00 PATTY & THE EMBLEMS MIXED UP SHOOK UP GIRL HERALD VG++ plays fine 10.00 PATTY & THE EMBLEMS AND WE DANCED HERALD EX- nice copy 10.00 THE PLATTERS SWEET SWEET LOVIN MUSICOR SOLD EX- no problems 10.00 THE PRECISIONS NEVER LET HER GO / A PLACE DREW DEMO VG/VG+ 5.00 THE RADIANTS AINT NO BIG THING CHESS VG wol 5.00 JACKIE SHANE ANY OTHER WAY SUE VG/VG+ ring wear 8.00 BRUCE SCOTT SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR MGM Scruffy VG 5.00 BETTYE SWANN MY HEART IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON CAPITOL Marks, vg+ 10.00 THE SOUL BROTHERS I GOT A DREAM BLUE CAT VG+ 5.00 PERCY SLEDGE ANY DAY NOW ATLANTIC VG++ 5.00 THE SHAKERS ONE WONDERFUL MOMENT ABC SOLD Edge crack, ring wear, good DJ copy though 5.00 IKE & TINA TURNER POOR FOOL SUE VG++ plays great 6.00 THE TABS TWO STUPID FEET WAND Little wrong with this, has an S written on label and a few marks but plays EX/EX minus 10.00 TOP SHELF NO SECOND THOUGHTS LOLO VG+ 5.00 THE TWILIGHTERS ROAD TO FORTUNE IMPERIAL DEMO VG 8.00 THE VAL-RAYS IT HURTS DOESNT IT GIRL UNITED ARTISTS DEMO Bit of noise right channel, wol 8.00 THE VIBRATIONS PICK ME OKEH Ring wear and vg+ 5.00 THE VARIATIONS YESTERDAY IS GONE BOB JOY Really nice uptempo crossover(?) dancer, looks used, plays great 25.00 WALLACE BROTHERS I NEED SOMEONE JEWEL Light background noise, f*cking big drill hole through the run off groove ELLA WASHINGTON STOP GIVING YOUR MAN AWAY SOUND STAGE 7 Surface noise 5.00 LEE WILLIAMS & THE CYMBALS GET IT TOGETHER BLACK CIRCLE VG++ 5.00 LARRY WILLIAMS BOSS LOVIN OKEH VG+++ 15 THE WHISPERS I CANT SEE MYSELF LEAVING YOU SOUL CLOCK VG+ WOL 8.00 LITTLE JERRY WILLIAMSM BABY YOURE MY EVERYTHING CALLA VG++ 6.00 JEAN WELLS WITH MY LOVE AND WHAT YOUVE GOT CALLA VG++ wol 10.00 BOBBY WADE FOUR WALLS AND ONE WINDOW WAY OUT VG++ wol 10.00 POSTAGE 2.00 RECORDED.

It is mate, came out on 2 labels in Jamaica in 65, don't think it got a UK release - though it looks like they re-recorded it in 1980 for EMI!
