Why dont you just make the man an offer ! oh..... perhaps you just did

I'd say it was as rare as Lester Tipton, just not as good. Same label as La Wanda Williams. Remember seeing the Melvin Davis many years ago at Victoria record fair, only copy I've ever seen. The one with the link to it looks in nice condition. pottsy

When you mentioned Pete's name & a rare record, insatntly makes me think of a major label, black issue. Shocked when he posted a picture of it. Am I right Pete?

The thing is with these records is when they change hands it makes it harder to work out how many there are. At the end of the day, we're only looking after them for the next person. I would say the flip side "I want to be free" has still got some mileage left in it. "You left me" has been a bit over played ?

Hi Dave, Think Ted said the other day, on another thread, that he has it as the Aspirations.

Ah, that's just reminded me Roger, keep meaning to ask if anyone knows what the score was with this release?

Hello Bill, By chance, Tues & Wed is the £7.95 "Gourmet Night" at the Paprika Indian in Nightingale Rd. opposite the now closed down Orchard & Anvil pub (used to be called the Woolpack). Superb value for money, infact I always have to take half of it home as there's so much Hope this helps ! pottsy

What makes you ask that Tony? Is it because the label colour is very similar to the Quick Change Artist second press? If yes, check out the KAREN letters, plus the distance between them.

This is the west coast design (styrene)......

Hello Tony, Sadly, the one you have in your picture is the re-issue that Pete refers too. They used the original stampers, hence the dead wax markings. (most likely done at the same time as the Luther Ingram re-issue) But I will say the sound quality on these are as good as the first press. £8 was still a bargain. Regards, Ady.

Hello Jules, Is this attachment taken from the purple label? If yes, sounds exactly the same as the red label one. Is the purple styrene (as in the case of the red) or vinyl ?

Think we may have to dig out that old rarer issue's & demo's thread again Roger !

Or like comparing Netto's 99p chicken curry to a Raj Douth no 21 with 38 What's that filet minging like Ian ?

oh blow it, didn't realise it was a 78rpm, been playing it at 45. But it does still sound a bit like that intro Ian, just a bit faster. That now explains why Georgie Porgie sounded a bit gruff

Hello Reg, Wow, what can I say mate. That is the best read I've had in years ! If there is anyone looking in that hasn't read this book, well, all I can say is you've missed out. Go get yourself a copy quick. It will make you smile, laugh, & at times make you low, just like life it self. That's what this book is about, life, one that most of us can relate too. Would love to see it made into a play or a film. 10 out 10 Reg ! Regards, Ady.

Yes Ian, very nice

but the intro does sound like the start of Tubby the Tuba, , honest.

and Tubby the Tuba !

Just noticed this on Johns auction. John, I think you'll find the "Monster Masters" are vinyl Ruby Jean - Empty Words - SBK Jeeze! The very first label! Near everyone has only ever seen this 45 on the styrene, "Monster Masters" label.......

Gene, Gene, Gene, How many times must I say this to you, if it's not broke....don't fix it ! Re-mix it ? Yes ! but don't go thinking you can change the course of this wonderful scene of ours with dodgy Queen type records, or that other thingy. Please stay with what we know, you know it's the way to go. BAMba 3688. You know Tony Hatch was a master at work, infact he was with the KESTRELS on this one.

no, NO, NOOOOOOO! Well there you go, that's the problem with you collector types, one bloody upmanship all the time, never a thought for the dancefloor, NO ! Bollox, where can I find a demo?

Chris mate, you're only jealous because you've not got a Tubby Tuba...oh, hang on, or have you ?

It's multi-colour vinyl

Oh my goodness, I don't believe it I honestly thought I was a collector living all alone in my own little closet ! And yet here am I, amongst like minded people. Especially you Mark...Charlie Drake, well well, who would have guessed it. I truly feel like I can at last come out of the closet, as I'm also a perver..erm collector. Have you thought about starting a thread in lets "Look at your box"? It could be a biggie you know Would you like to look at mine? Here you go. God bless, pottsy. ps do you by any chance wear shorts? white ones? errrm....rather tight ones? No, no no no. sorry, just take a gander below at my 7" Tubby Tuba......

pm'd you gareth.
