Love the Astors and Barbara Acklin Aussie 45's, dont have those ones.. But have allot of their other releases, I fish em out..

Kev, thats folk from the south not understanding that there is a place called the Midlands in the Uk... in my book the North doesn't start till you pass Nottingham, and well on route to Sheffield or Manchester...

Kent Anni single was is the first release. Mal

absolutely no contest... someone once told me there were a million pressed of Spyder Turner... One of those things you hear at all-dayers propping up the bar, I dont for a moment believe MGM actually pressed 1 Million of this track... or did they?

Anybody got a nice copy of 'Leno Phillips - Confusion / Dash' Happy to pay £80 for a nice copy, issue or demo.. doesn't matter which.. Kind regards, Malcolm

I think we should be boyed by the fact that there are still folk that buy and sell at realistic prices, if we keep making our voices heard on this matter John Mamships auction will remain a playground for people with more cash than sense, they are welcome to it, I've got along quite nicely for over 25 years of collecting pretty much without paying his extortionate prices, and let's not forget certain folk on this site that sell daily on here, don't contribute to the debate what so ever, and still list the same records well over a year since they first went up... Malcolm

got a mint Vinyl White Demo on San fransisco, double as I now have it on Aussie Green Atlantic, its there if you want to make an offer mate? Malcolm

funny one, its been listed everywhere at £100 for years, but you can pick it up cheaper recently, regrettably I think £40-£60 is about right for the amount of copies in circulation... personally I'd never sell it, his tracks on IPG, one of which is dog rare on JW, are all brilliant... 'I Work So Hard' is that the flip of Tears of a Lover, or a separate 45 on Solid? anybody got a JW copy of Forgive Then Forget / My Lonley Girl? Ted Massey tape sound for me from the Old Vic... Mal

well cool, like that one...

you need to reduce the size of those mate, they are well over 4000px in size...

oh shit, thought you were selling them, are you? mal

never mentioned 45s Steve, my comments aimed at Lps, I don't know mate, I'm not a dj, but I do know lugging a 100 weight of box about is a pain in the arse, that said if older Djs are still doing it, then it's OK then.... I prefer OVO myself, it's just the silly arguments about it that makes me resist, if this bloke wants to cut carvers, then good for him, he must have a good reason, either that or his doctors told him to keep off the left leg after the last hip replacement... Malcolm

I flogged loads last year, made some good money as well, be honest I've still got thousands of records, so I've hardly missed most of them, those I did regret selling I've bought back... But I must say I've wrestled with flogging all of it bar a 300 or so box, I listen to my I-tunes in the day, so playing records is a night time treat after a hard day, what's put me off is after I've been cherry picked of the so called ' money records' it's bloody hard to shift the small things everybody has, but I don't want to go through life not having Edwin Starr - backstreet and so on.... So I'll keep em... But sell to buy, that way I can actually start saving for my retirement....cause I cant foresee how much they will be worth once the early generations of collectors sell up and move on, that has already started I'd say... Tricky, and bloody addictive!! Malcolm

Its a funny one rare British Issues, they are on the whole, pretty dull really, but due to us not regularly seeing that track on that label, it excites us... (Think Golum)... Shame it never came out in Oz, I'd go crazy for that, as it is my preference is a Yank Demo.. but agree you UK boys should get hot under the collar on the above, a right visual UK Paradise that... Mal

think this is where the 'Original only' argument falls down... basically because its very HEAVY to carry around!!! dont get me wrong, I'm 100% all the way at home, but if I had to lug stuff as some of these Dj's do about like a 50 box of LP's, I'd certainly look to make that easier... Mal

who Dave Flint?

dont ask why, but having been upto 3 last night working, and flat out this morning, I took the time to restore this lovely 45 to better times... basically I do it every day to keep up my basic Photoshop skills, its something I do in down time.I .strangely enjoy restoring scans of Rare soul records... so here's Buddy in better days... dont he look the business!! mal

My Manship guide used to live on the deck, doesn't not anymore, I find it useless pretty much, Ive read these things for years, like we all have, can think of better things to do than waste marker pen ink... In fact it spoils the handmade crocheted doily Liza dropped on there.... now they are a waste of time!! mal

never seen an issue, can you post a piccie up? Mal

We have all been there Jason, if you know the guy well you will know I guess, if it's somebody new, ask for immediate payment, or perhaps a holding deposit, I've done that before, non refundable and good to set a time limit for the full payment. Something along those lines perhaps, not an easy one and some on here don't hold at all these days, first full payment gets it. Mal

Samantha mentioned this 45 recently to me, said she had never seen it... do you want to sell that TSU? malcolm

did it go for the full price asked Kirsty? Mal

I shop there when I'm around Newport, had some good stuff over the years...
