As far as I'm aware it's not "The Contessas" it's "The Contessa"

It's mental, 200mph.

I think played out, it could sound good. Apparently it was originally a Pat Brady spin, covered as the "Twans"

I don't know who put this up on you tube. But as far as I'm aware there has only ever been one copy of this ever turned up? Guy H spin, then TIm Brown had it and sold it because he didn't like it. Haven't got a clue who owns it now. I tried to find out when I was running Burnley. In fact I remember now, someone told me the name of the current owner, but said he would never part with it. Anyone know any more? https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=1iN1UYIRA_U

I think John bought Tim Browns copy when he had it on his auction. Tim did have a scan up, but I didn't bother copying it. Was quite a few years ago now.

vive la difference Pete, hope you are well mate.

Yes I did mate.

NOW SOLD, MANY THANKS Calm down, calm down, it's the re issue. Actually it's the album with the single in it. I bought it so I could record "Cheatin kind" and now it's for sale. It was sealed, I opened it, recorded the single, and that's it. Just want to get my money back, so £30 and I'll pay the postage as long as it's in the UK. Please PM to reserve, thanks.

Did it! My God, that is amazing. One of the all time greats, but it certainly isn't a rare record is it?

Just saw the latest prices on Tim's auction "I never expected that" Johnny Mae Mathews - I Have No Choice - £1,250

Dun't matter how long you've been doing the rounds, if you ain't got taste, you ain't got taste.

Dance scene, that's why I don't go anymore. I can't dance for more than an hour these days, and can't find a venue that plays what I like anyway.

That was fine when there was only one nighter on in the country. Competition is fierce now and people are spoilt for choice.

See Philippe's post with this link: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/6244989?ev=rb Plenty for sale with double album, and much cheaper.

No mate, you have terrible taste....................I hate all three.

The vultures will be PM'ing you as we speak mate. All looking to get your rare bits cheap.

What's the sound quality like on the repro? I've bought stuff like this before to record for home listening and they have been terrible.

But the reason that people are sitting outside and talking is that they have heard it all before. Bloody hell, I was off the scene for twenty years but it didn't take me long to get bored of the same old people playing the same old records when I started going out again. Some people have been active on the scene non stop since the seventies. How the hell they keep motivated is beyond me. I don't like the funk, but I understand why lots do. It's something new and fresh, and no matter how good the records you play are, if folk have heard them many times before they aren't gonna jump up and dance. Good luck with the new venture, but don't call it Lifeline, new name, new beginning.

I agree entirely with Chalky that funk has taken over, Burnley has gone the same way. I don't agree that there are enough 60's northern newies to continue, but that's just my opinion. I only know this, if I wanted to start again, I would end up buying most of the same records that we played during the four and a half years of Burnley. And I'm not sure on dates, but that must be going on for ten years ago now. Many of those records I still see on play play lists at so called up front venues. So there's not too many quality new discoveries come to light in ten years has there? I don't know why people get so obsessed by anniversaries and the longevity of certain allnighter's. Change is inevitable and good. You can't bring back the past no matter how good it was. It should always be about passion, so start something new if you think it's possible. Have a break then start afresh.

Everything has a shelf life, and everything must end. That's life. Otherwise you end up like the Derby and Joan scene you despise so much.

No f*****g way.

Started to watch it, then lost the will to live and turned over.

I must admit that when I read the "description" I thought I was in a parallel universe. Maybe it has suddenly become a wanted item? It has happened many times before, in that a record you see about for years and thought was plentiful, suddenly becomes in vogue and disappears because it's actually quite rare. Or. Will loads of copies suddenly appear as people try to "cash in" on the latest hot item?

Pretty good, and let's face it she's not hard to look at is she?
