My old mate jim smirk(rip) had this on a 45 with white label and handwritten title,small hole,and im sure ady croasdale gave it to him in the 90’s,possibly was gonna be a kent single or sumet?

Damit! Shame!

A version of lynn terry on laselle? To which i love and would love a copy too! And certainly interested in hearing this barbara lynn version too!

Ive always rated the tune,i think its a cool tune whether your a northern fan or not,ive played it to mates whom are into indie guitar music and they love it! interestingly,as rare as it is,ive had 3 copies of this all in mint condition!

Dont know the answer to the question,but i must say im so use to hearing the george smith version that the g chandler sounds way to pacey! Almost like its chasing after itself!

The voices of fred hughes-i keep trying and al hughes-take it or leave it,sound very similar to me,could it be that they are the same person,or related? Maybe brothers? lee👍

This is a first! No replys! I suppose this weeks offerings is a mediocre set of records,nothing there to create a frenzy of opinions😂 although….i do love the ambassadors 45,and it has to be one of the rarest of the oldies that i would normally say was in the 400/500 quid bracket! So to see it nearly hit the 1k mark is a tor curler! Must be cos its mint?

Yeah great feature,it shows im now in the top 3% of all time members! It must be my insight !😂 Congrats soul source on a great addition👍🇬🇧

Dont know if your aware,but “i’ll be gone” is on both releases of 2 45’s by tommy turner! “Lady” is the cheaper way and the other 45 “lazy” is much rarer and expensive!

Nice tune,but jesus i wish that bloody whistleing wasnt there😂

I think with jm’s being the most prominant auction site,the poor bloke cant do right for wrong! If he simply auctioned the ELITE records he would get it in the neck for only catering the wim of the wealthy,and if he simply auctioned every day 45’s he would lose the respect he has earnt over the years,so in the end id say he has the balance right! He caters for everybody! He really isnt to blame for pillocks paying double for 45’s that dont warrant these amounts!

Youll be extremely lucky to get a copy through the back door! I suspect Top end shrine records are gonna end up in the auction process these days! And peter is right! Ive seen that record maybe 4 times,And never seen a mint one,but there are nice clean copies in collections!👍

Haha… yeah now it will be hunted down,cleared off the face of the earth into dj boxes and command 500 quid😂

Great little tune! Sure i had it as NORMAN rickett? I seem to recall both sides being really good too!

Two away! Thats a shame,cos a £500 music centre in 1981 must have been a serious item!

I think its simply to appeal to the collector in us,and of course squeeze another tenner out of you! Which i suppose if its an unreleased track of soughts,then it has its own appeal! But if its a run of the mill tune thrown on a piece of vinyl then i dont see the point of the issue or demo! Just go on youtube for free if you that desperate to hear paul anka or something line that!😂

Do you remember whom the other 3 casino tickets were for? great collection of finds too!👍

I noticed a copy on darren browns site at 1600 quid,in the description it mentions it being a recent play/discovery for ginger and john parker? Anyway i knew the record instantly,im certain it was played around late 80’s early 90’s by a few of the big names at the time? Great tune and defo rare!

Does it ACTUALLY play “knock on my door” on the back? Not just the title on the label?

Ive searched everywhere now,im convinced the wand 45 wasnt issued! Demo only!

Be nice to see a pic of a wand issue! Im not convinced it exists?

Yeah ive had a karma copy in the past,and i think neither karma or wand turn up very often these days,but i dont recall ever seeing a wand issue! So if wand only saw a demo stage,then maybe thats why its turned out to be a rare item?

So does a wand ISSUE exist (red lettering)?

A couple of questions regarding this 45! the wand 45 seems to be rarer than the first local karma release,is that because the wand 45 didnt get issued (red lettering)? Popsike is only showing demos! and is love power on the back of the wand 45? I notice the karma 45 they are called THE STEMMONS EXPRESS and the wand 45 simply STEMMONS EXPRESS! any pics ofthe group anywhere? Other releases? Info?

Also the 2 45’s have different writer credits?
