Be interested to see a scan of this, does it have its original sleeve? Add a sound file, can't find this on you tube, is this chap a NZ native? Very interested, like to know more.. Mal

Apple anybody?

might I suggest the flip of the revilot 45 as a talking point, as it seems to get ignored Mal

Ok two nice ones left for swaps, Interested in Esther Philips - Just say goodbye or Denise Germaine - little lost lover, or something along those lines.... I rate both at a very fair £80 each which is what I was selling them for. Mal.C

Hi all, looking to swap any or all of the below for an Atlantic WD of Esther Philips - Just say goodbye or Denise Germaine - little lost lover/ UA or Ray and Dave - Wrong,Wrong, Wrong. Act III - To-Day I Want to Stay Inside / I can feel the Tears / Harley Records M- Quality "¨Crossover track, with a very nice deep flip..."¨"¨very very Mint copy Gracie Darnell - The Bad Guys / RUTH VG++ Sixties Clip clop dancer, very instant track, label is a tad dirty but it does not detract at all.."¨"¨ Cheers Mal.C

Is this the same group as did 'Blackbird in despair' ? Just wondered Mal

indeed, and if somebody asks to buy it straight away, make is a bit more spesh...

Too true, they preferred to pick on younger kids on the comfort of the bull ring, bunch of.... The rigger was great though you would get kids from as far as Telford, Nuneaton, Black Country but never anybody from Coventry...

Nice copy that....my Gypsy woman is on the same press label design which i bought in san Francisco. Do you want to sell it? Mal

I had some friends from your neck of the woods, allot would go to the outrigger, especially when the Saturday sessions started, and there was always the mod cafe on summer row...

Good thread, Clara Thomas - love among people, and William bell - I forgot to be your lover, not two that spring to mind but they are both sublime... Mal.c

1982, Arden high school birmingham, class 1c, early morning break seeing all my class mates in fish tail Parkers, then the Kent lp's started the rounds, especially in music lessons where you were invited to bring your own music in, I borrowed 'soul class of 66' of my mate bazer... And I've never looked back,,,,, the tommy hunt LP took effort though, but I tried and tried and eventually I gained taste, if that makes sense... Hard work when your up against madness and DM clad skin heads..... I've never liked skin heads...even now, but I think it was different in Birmingham back then, they sided with rude boys and zulu's (blues fans) especialy up the bull ring...and young mods were easy prey... And you could get a kicking and loose your Parker in an afternoon, but the soul stayed!!!!! Mal.c

I think prices are coming down due to the amount offered for sale at the moment, that said the rare ones are holding their own.... Deffo think the bottom will fall out of it in the next 5-10 years though, disconcerting though that may be, there will be no revolution in the music industry like the cd to totally reignite the collecting scene as with the 9ts, but you never know the 'Mod' trend/style in the uk is as strong as ever and is ever present saw merc outlet on house of Frasier yesterday... So the northern scene stands a chance in the future... Although, We may all be past it when that happens...and our collections living in oxfam shops and market stalls.... It was like that on the late 8ts. I think postal charges won't chane things in the long run, the mother country has too much to offer to stop collectors buying, we wil just get smart, buy on account, keep the additional charges down and all that Mal.C

Hi all, need the following sleeves, must be in Ex - M- condition, no tears or marker pen / names etc I've put the front and back of the Tamla Motown and Festival / Has the hits / sleeves, they will all have aussie addresses, pretty much the same as their UK counterparts... If you have anything come back to me Cheers Malcolm

It's a great track this one, slightly strange one for me, I bought it in the 9ts for a fiver, and it came the day my mother died, in fact I got the news seconds after signing for it, so its for ever tied to that moment, I know thats a tad strong but I still play it, but I don't have many other 45's that take you to a certain moment in any other way, strong stuff I guess... Mal.C

Charles Spurling ahh, was that you Mark, beat me to the punch, rarer on WD as apposed to a yellow me thinks, good price as well. If your looking to sell it, you have my number. M
