I love doowop. Bit samey, but still brilliant.

That's 6 items then.

I'm dead. * I liked the two guys at the start.

I fell asleep, what happened in the end?

Enjoyed that, thanks Dawn

Neither would I, but so many people do buy fake clothes because they want to keep up with the Joneses and they can't afford to buy the real thing. And I sit here thinking of a top I've got in my wardrobe which I don't think I've worn more than once, it cost £175 and thinking about it now, thats an absolute disgrace and one of the reasons that I now shop at TKMaxx

What I can't understand why there's never been an outcry over those white labels being sold on Ebay - no actual record, they just list a title then if someone buys it, they cut it onto vinyl.

I watched this again and there are actually two carvers in there, Ralph Graham and The Hytones. Oops! ">

Yes I spent 3 years making exact facsimiles of all the labels, cut them out and stuck them all on, and I'd have got away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids. The real answer is because my pressings are for me to play for my own amusement and nobody would be interested in seeing them and I wouldn't be interested in showing anyone them.

Very good point that actually

The point you were making is that pressings are shit apparently, whats that got to do with me, nothing, so why did you quote my post? p.s. £15 actually

Because of the very fact that it's Jamaican, and easier to find n.b. I did mean AT LEAST £125

Gayfeet never owned Doctor Bird, they are two separate entities, but Doctor Bird in the UK used to release Gayfeet product until Trojan set up the High Note label then UK Gayfeet for their releases.

Gayfeet is the original Jamaican label. Must be worth £125. Sold my Doctor Bird one via JM went for something like £250.

I sell mainly original records. I've had more original records than a lot of people have had hot dinners. I cannot afford to keep the originals. So most of my own records are pressings and they may be shit to you but they are a lifetime of memories for me, so up yours

"CAN'T COMPLAIN, MUSTN'T GRUMBLE, HELP YOURSELF TO ANOTHER PIECE OF APPLE CRUMBLE" ABC - How To Be A Millionaire oh sorry, thought it was for the worst

I think you may have put this in the wrong section Rob...this is Wants!

There's an alternative vocal version by Mill Evans - totally different song - acetate sold on ebay for $$$ a few weeks back

Anyone with records is a dj nowadays - I preferred it back in the old days when the dj's were a league apart from us mere mortals. Last time I dj'd anywhere I played both The Ster-Phonics and Court Davis off carvers, I had the originals, sold them, made copies for myself, nobody complained and if they had I'd have told them to get a life.

Aw, thanks Dad

Leigh I am sitting here waiting for the Wolves match to come on and I haven't got anything else to do apart from contemplate going to KFC so apaologies if I join in this topic too often!

Rubbish 35 years ago and still rubbish...

Probably the Chosen Few or The Devonnes. You're making the point but missing it at the same time. Why do you think these classic oldies nights do so well? It's because that's what the majority of people want to hear - they want to hear records that remind them of when they were young and are not interested in hearing newies and unknowns. That's a fact, it's not an opinion. I went to one of these so called Northern Soul & Motown do's that they hold in our village every 3 months, it was rammed, and it was terrible, I've never been since because I personally do not want to hear Do I Love You and The Night, however, the other 300 people in there really did want to hear them. And who am I to slag them off?

That's because 40 years ago £5 was worth £100 now.
