Then there was the time when I was dancing at the youth club and it was the time of acrobatics etc, I intended to kick out, pull my leg back, swivel the opposite way, kick out the other way then drop into a back drop, except on the first kick out, my shoe flew off about 50 feet into the air and I was laughed at by everyone sitting around the edges of the floor who "couldn't dance"

Amazingly I think they did!

I'm sure Goldspot is a legit first issue. Different take as well.

Think the original has a Nashville Matrix stamp (sold it now so can't check), the colour boot has a wider label and no stamp.

Only ever seen one of those, ever. Didn't even know about it til it was showed to me, had an original with me and we compared them.

Micky Cope dancing near the back at Wigan and some comedian threw a banana skin onto the dancefloor and I don't need to tell you the rest, although they reckoned his was one of the best displays of acrobatics they'd seen there since Footsee was first played.

Sound Plus and 77 are definitely legit - not sure about the "white demo" Sound Stage 7 one. Probably not.

Maurice Williams got pressed twice, one was a counterfeit green label but with silver lettering instead of gold, second was a maroon label that looks nothing like the original. £10-£15 each.

Can't believe I forgot this, bought it when it came out, the version on that youtube clip sounds a bit remixed? Added echo maybe, not enough bass.

No, nothing can help mate, sorry - I can't listen to any jazz music whatsoever, but I do appreciate that many people love it and many people probably can't understand why I like reggae and ska music. Like you say, different strokes. Actually there was what I thought was going to be an interesting documentary on jazz last friday on BBC 4, 1959 The Year That Changed Jazz, but the music was so awful I had to switch it off (it was Miles Davis and the narrator said it was the greatest jazz record ever made)

Can honestly say I haven't had one of these since 2001 now - went for £250 then. Wouldn't think it had gone up much though.

Yes that one is rare and always has been. Another very rare one, I forget the artist, it's on the Goliath label - Nat something?

Theres at least 3 pressings of Little Ritchie, the one above, one on 77 Records and one on Sound Plus (thats the first one)

I'm not differentiating between bootlegs, official releases, they were just known as 'pressings' and The Inspirations was one such, at the time..

He's on about boots, reissues, pressings - USA ones. They make up most of my collection, sell the originals, keep the pressings. Very precious to me. Except the UK's, obviously.

No theres loads of those about Paul. Rarest or rather most expensive at the moment sppear to be Yum Yums 1st press, Inspirations on Breakthrough and John & The Weirdest.

Anyone heard "All the time in the world" by The Paper Dolls? Same track as Stevie Kimble on Decca though not as wild. NIce though, dancer.

In what context, a pile of crap? I must be the only mug who saw 13 of the Glass Spider concerts and all of them ended with that.

Has anyone got the Dream Babes series of cd's that they could sell me or I'll swap you for something of mine (I have at least 2000 cd's, all types of music) and I also need release on the Psychic Circle label: file under male vocal the british blue eyed soul series, get ready uk floorfillers and so on cheers pete

Tone, it is actually the proper backing track though, it's not actually recorded by SS

It hasn't got the instrumental cut of I Have Faith In You on it, it has the vocal, the instrumental wasn't released until about 1993 on the flip of a Barbara McNair bootleg, and even then it was at the wrong speed

Doubt it but it was definitely played at Wigan - I have a tape of the instrumental being played. p.s. I always thought 5000 Volts were fronted by the actress Luan Peters, when I did a bit of research I found out that Luan Peters recorded in the 60's as...Karol Keyes! (Did versions of One in a million and You beat me to the punch)

The Jam put out a cd called Extras and it had a fantastic demo version of "Solid bond" which was out and out Northern. There's a couple of great Bowie tracks from the Pye period which are suitable, the best is without doubt "Can't help thinking about me" but the real Northern style one is "Do anything you say". I'll try and find that Iggy Pop / Supremes mash up, might still have it.
