I don't know Paul, I can only go by what I read on here : "Sorry Pete, I honestly didn't realise you were living in a box. It just goes to show how bad this economic crisis really is. And I hope it's a nice warm box because winter is approaching" Also, please don't post up someone elses name (that I do know) that has nothing to do with what we are talking about. pottsy

Ah gotcha Ian, thanks. I'll buy a copy of the 45 then, & put the copy of the dvd on hold for now. Would like both, but finances are a bit slim at the moment Regards, pottsy

Well there's another 2 Detroit records (Ke Ke's) that "were" super rare. You can see the problem that Brad has, he's governed by what the person tells him that is releasing the records to him. He can only relay what he is told. I've talked to him many times, & like what has already been said on here, always found him to be a very honest & sincere chap. With super rare records, it makes me sometimes wonder if all the 'stock' of what was pressed is sat on a shelf somewhere, minus the copies that went to the singer, group, mum, dad, aunty, local dj, etc. But I must say, those stone cold Mint Lesters sure look pretty. pottsy

Erm, hang on a minute Ian. I thought this thread was meant to be about you? "Ian Levine, Motorcity, Centre City, Blackpool Mecca, And Swons - Part Two, Continuing on from the Sixty Pages in Part One" Is this not the title of your thread? Now I'm confused. I think the new part of the thread about Ian Dewhirst & the Cafe Regio thing is very interesting, unlike some of Paul Mooneys arrogant (but let me just get my name on this thread one more time) posts. But now the thread has got me completely confused. Is the Cafe Regio your thing or the other Ians, ah hang on, or are you becoming one & the same? Kind of, one big Ian....& a Paul Mooney? Now I dont know what to buy, I have just enough for your dvd but now I want a Cafe Regio Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, decisions, decisions. Yours, A very worried & confused pottsy.

Paul, For an intelligent fella, you don't half talk some bollox at times

Yeh, something called Cafe Regio's !!

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.......
