Whole Thing - How Many Versions Out There
It's an advert for alka-seltzer, hence him being in trouble because he ate the whole thing. It is, honestly.

New Podcast Site - Something A Bit Different
I got 1G free bandwith and it's been used up within 12 hours, too many people downloaded it! so the site froze to a halt, I've upgraded to a pay account now so it should be working again.

It was, long ago, but sadly not now - glad you enjoyed it though, had a few people said they liked it, made a change sort of thing.

Tainted Love
I've sent a message to this arrogant seller, anyone else fancy telling him it's a bootleg, he might get the message.

Worst Northern Soul Lyric
So look before you leap, And count your blessings, Instead of sheep "Shear" poetry!

Worst Northern Soul Lyric
It's a horrible record full stop...though Cliff on one of the crossover threads reckons the pinnacle of soul music and I'm mental for not appreciating it. Pile of sh*t.

THIS NEW ONE, I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ON DOING THAT BUT ALSO PUT A FEW MORE ODDBALL THINGS UP, LIKE SAY A FREAKBEAT SHOW OR A PUNK SHOW WHATEVER.

Here's an interesting fact. Maybe. The actual singer of I'm On Fire was the girl once known as Karol Keyes who did a great version of One In A Million on UK Columbia and also did You Beat Me To The Punch on Fontana. As for a US version - there must be one, a sizeable UK hit like that would have got a US release I should think- Robin Rice
Bet the Ellusions was about £75- Robin Rice
OK, well I think Nancy turned up the first metro copy and sold it to me, I played it and could hear immediately it was different. If it had been turned up before, nobody had spotted the difference!The Metro version has a lot more echo on the vocals - it's great, I prefer it to the Crackerjack one. So yes, absolutely a different mix.- Help, Please Buy My Records
James if you're really going to sell your rrcords you've only got one option - ring John Manship - he'll give you a fair price, quickly.- Help, Please Buy My Records

I've got a few of these, one has a passable version of You're Ready Now.- A Reluctance To Move On?
never mind- A Reluctance To Move On?
Rob, you may be interested to know that you were dj'ing at the first allnighter I ever went to - Sammies 1975 - so you certainly have put the time in!- Email For Us Dealer R.resmini?
Keep it, that guy is the worst dealer on ebay, sent me a Marv Johnson record which hissed for the first 30 seconds and when I complained he literally said "What do you expect, it's 45 years old". He has more negative feedbacks than anyone else on ebay and what an attitude. Click this https://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=thuds&Dirn=Received+by&ref=home- Patrice Holloway Rare Uk Demo
No reply- Bicknell's Big Tasty List Revised
Why don't you just put SOLD next to it then and stop bumping your list to the top every time you sell something? Just thought I'd ask...- Patrice Holloway Rare Uk Demo
