Do you have a "pic" of that ? My searches on the net were not conclusive and I'd love to see that. On the same matter I was told long ago that Betty Lloyd 'six days til Xmas' on BSC also had such a "rare" sleeve. Can anyone confirm this ?

My share on this; to have those beloved and sometimes worth their tidy sums records and to play them on cheap and dreaded phono gear is not only scary to the eye but indeed "contradictory" in it's own term and definitely with time and age unworthy of them rare records. In our teens one had to do with what was either shared home or given to us by elders. It was for most the only way to go. Only once one could start saving some dosh to go and buy some second hand "better" gear. But one had to "think" as to what should be the good gear. And yet I too have friends into their 4T's that still have a barely functioning phono set-up home with 1000's of really nice and rare records sitting next to IT. The financial situation is for most the reason of this desperation. I am afraid it became a habit as well. So the "phono education" and/or understanding is for most lost in the lazy cloud. The consumerist culture annihilated the basics analog knowledge with their "plug & play" products dished by the general public phono industry. Hence a general "rightful" disregard of the audiophile "geek" in the popular mentality. Yet it is this geeky maybe but necessary understanding of "how does" that work in order to fix, convert and improve my set-up that forced me to understand the elementary of physics at stake in there and afterward appreciate my records more than never. So a "good" turntable will never "spare" your records from bad wear. Bad groove wear will be inflicted by an inappropriate, bad, cheap and/or damaged stylus and/or from your bad cartridge alignement and the classic wrong VTA and/or VTF adjustments ! A good turntable should mainly be silent running and spin at the right speed continuously. Other specific requirements depends on it's use, need and taste. Switching to vintage turntable after turning 40 year old, I am now a belt drive on suspended sub chassis turntable believer. How odd is that ? Well those well build, I admit, Techniques turntable are too dampened for my liking in comparison. Home I don't DJ anyway. I play my 45's one by one with a phono set-up half vintage and half Y2K+. My vintage turntable, tonearm and speakers are DIY tweaked to wonderful playback IMO. To get some descent gear second hand nowadays is also expensive I find. And it does require some notion on compatibility between the components and to have fiddling fingers and a curious mind to sort out tech issues will be an advantage of importance. Finally the most important factor that should lead our choice on what to get as phono gear, should be the fact that we play mainly vintage MONO records ! And this is a real factor that those STEREO/MONO switch on amp are merely fooling by "blending" the channels. Not good really. So to get the best out of them capricious records is a whole matter on it's own. Whatever the higher-end gold platted, pure silver, rarest exotic wood and NASA developed material turntable all the money in the world could buy, if not adapted to the support, it just won't perform good. In the analog world the best universal gear just does not exists. Don't be fooled by the commercial messages that is bashed or the bitterness of the prideful few. I'll add that the "contemporary" DJ phono gear if robust is not the best to get the best out of our vintage records from my experience and understanding.

Grapevine UK in 2004 published that unissued version or go for the better IMO and affordable 1969 edited version on Roulette by Little Jimmy Gandy.

Really nice Ex condition copy of this oldie of massive orchestral proportion. Faint sticker mark on "PLUG SIDE" and very few superficial marks on vinyl NAP Scans and soundclip with needle drop and lift from both sides of actual record for sale. beverly ann.mp3 £100 FREE SHIPPING ALL OVER THE WORLD Grading through M - EX - VG - G...

And what title is it you are offering for sale of this rather prolific band ?

Original French release on BYG with picture sleeve. Sleeve should be down graded to VG due to a small pinball pen mark on top right and a "sticker" mark on top left corner of the front sleeve and overall residual stocking wear. Where the vinyl balance the Ex to an almost EX+. So one of the better filler or awaiting a Mint sleeve but those rough printed on cardboard (sleeve is not paper soft but board hard !) never come clean even fresh out of the print... Sound clip and BIG scans from actual record. £75 FREE SHIPPING ALL OVER THE WORLD dee dee sharp.mp3

VERY CONFUSING RECORD

Yes but evidently very inspired by the Impression's song baring the same title.

'I want to thank you' Mr Danny Woods ! RIP

OK, I just don't know so I believe you.

Yours above is a definite recent bootleg. Original promos (with green horizontal lines on vinyl !) and stockers came out both on styrene and vinyl pressings. Old Simon Soussan boots I don't know any of them that bad since I disregard them and spare any little room in my memory for any other better purpose.

Totally right. I did not pay attention to that. I always ask if the sellers would consider to re-listy the item skipping that Global Shitting Program and with as many reasons and as to whys that no rational thinking human could not consider dropping that rip off game the eVilBay is pulling. But still, some don't want to. But there it also syas "No additional import charges on delivery" ! It's the first time I see that. And how can that be ?

It's the real deal on styrene. Generally the Atlantic styrene copies are OK quality if not worn. This guy says this copy to be mint (unplayed)...

Taking to OP to a little slide-off... Indeed I can appreciate some mike also as I can absolutely deal with none. I go to listen to the DJ set and await a musically enjoyable journey. No DJ chat is mandatory for me... I don't use a mike as I have compassion for my kind and likes LOL !

I never use headphones nor mike BTW. I don't have to hear my records as I hope to know them as I love them. When I play out, it is as "selecter" and not "mixer" or whatever. If my mix transitions are not so precise, I am not too bothered honestly. When I do DJ out, I only use the visual of the stylus into the groove. Then as explained here above I check the volume gauge, selected the headphone channel of the mixing table on the desired turntable, to know precisely where the tune kicks in. Winding a half a revolution backward, I am finally ready to push the "start" button after fade-out of the finishing previous record. I know, but I feel the fade out is also most of the time the most soulful moment of the record and it allows people to clap hands if ever...

RIP

Rarer red label variation of this plenty good Chicagoan deep soul-blues tune flipped with a funkier mid tempo dancer. This copy's vinyl is super clean with only a little tear on label and two 'X's and a faint '120' under the title word "fun" in pencil on the flip.

I don't have the Ronnie Love but I heard the YT clips with slight differences in sound quality but it's nothing to do with the Peps in terms of sound fidelity. Find hereby a soundclip of both sides I've done of the copy of the Peps I've just got in and judge by yourself; peps detroit.mp3 Even the flip side 'never had a love so good' doesn't sound so "bassy". It's only poor on the studio mastering mix and likely a bad template mastering job then pressed on cheap styrene.

Ronnie Love is not particularly Lo-Fi IMO. Most D-Town's masterings are rather "brute" and simplistic in their sonic productions with saturated highs (trademark ?). But in comparison to Ronnie's Love the Peps 'Detroit, Michigan' is all bass-ed up to give it a muffle sound. The tune is fun like a good "boys chant" theme and likely there must have been some commercial expectation for it to go bigger. As it sounds it could have been. Maybe Ronnie Love's "grumpy moaning" singing à la Contours 'do you love me' was considered "out of date" by March 1965... maybe and more hypothetical theories... ...a "rush" dub re-recording (that could explain the "muffle" backing track rework erasing the vocals (=highs) echoes from the tape) by the Peps was done. The pressing plant couldn't follow the schedule for this "rush" release and for the first time they went to the Chicago's Columbia Recording Studio to do the masters and pressings...

I don't have the Ronnie Love but heard it and indeed it's a loud "banger" that kicks in and Ronnie sings like "moaning grumpy" in there. A little too much to my taste... Where the Peps version is more "sung" but indeed the whole mix is sadly a bit muffled down. This Peps on D-Town is also the sole D-Town number to have a styrene release but no vinyl counterparts release...
