Baby Reconsider - intro is better than the rest of it put together

Confused.

How about this - it's a bootleg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hesitations-Im-Not-Built-That-Way-Kapp-hear-/281544362586?pt=UK_Records&hash=item418d5a0a5a

This - Joe Buckman

None of them are rare Stu - even the one on the Mod label is only £20 or so

The one underneath is another attempted fake of Rufus Lumley with the artists name in massive capital letters LOL https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RUFUS-LUMLEY-IM-STANDING-STATESIDE-RECORDS-521-NORTHERN-SOUL-/111560938883?pt=UK_Records&hash=item19f98cd583

Uses the UK Island catalogue number so I'd say there's a good chance it's Irish

Bought this for 3 quid off Mick Smith last year, out of his rock and roll box. Made my decade. Not the record, just getting it for £3 off Mick

Bugger - thats the version I knew too, not Hall & Oates

Reposted it on Facebook - credited you with the picture

Great work! I'm going to have to nick this...

Bargain!

I was thinking of that, I think, I'll go and check - yes it is, but I wouldn't have got the artist, just the song - well done mate

He does seem to like Queen a bit too much though played it every day I think Radio 2 has been brilliant this last week or so And there was some interesting and quite remarkable news announced yseterday - Tony Blackburn's Pick Of The Pops old chart show, gets double the listeners of Radio 1's top 40 rundown. Twenty years ago, the top 20 rundown used to get over 15 million listeners and 40 years ago I think it was over 20 million.

Thanks everyone, and thanks for noticing the three or for lesser known things mixed in - I mean for instance, that Freddie Gorman, a record I've had but never actually played, and it's phenomenal, this is the exact case of someone not playing a record because it's cheap, and I am so guilty!

That's due to the compression used on the lp to make 20 tracks fit on one LP though. Plus how could Tony Hester record vocals to Spaceland if he was dead?

But it hasn't has it Dave?

Record companies like London / Decca didn't make bootlegs

Lots of records get withdrawn for whatever reason though - Wayne Fontana for a start - you wouldn't say it's not the original British issue though

First boot 1976, pale blue, second boot 1977 or 78, dark blue and white, this boot pictured on the thread above, spanking new 2015 boot

John Anderson made the records in 1977. It's not an original 60's release. It's a legal, made for the scene special pressing. It's no rarer than any of the other pressings from the 70's that had 300 copies made. What is there to actually argue about? Look if people want to pay £400 for a pressing then that's absolutely fine. Next time I get one, I will list it as a pressing a price it accordingly, like I always do. I might stretch it to £75 this time.

It's an original British issue - nothing cloudy about that one.

NORTHERN SOUL FREESTYLE Well after a month of nothing but “Wigan” based podcasts, I took this opportunity to go freestyle, not really sure what that actually means but basically I just played anything I wanted to with no theme or running order. I also kept the Wigan stuff to a minimum so most (but not all) records on here are either sleepers, or where big AFTER Wigan closed, so anyone who thinks Northern Soul died in 1981, I hope this will convince you otherwise. I think the last 30 minutes are so is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever done. But I’d had about 5 pints and 3 cans by then, so I would do!
