What a fantastic record THE VISITORS is..... hope you dont regret selling it !!!!

Got a spare VG to VG+ copy if anyone is interested

Hi there, I have a mint unplayed Grapevine white promo of this, very hard to find I want £45 for it If your interested (I also have 20 other mint unplayed Grapevine demos in the series)

Trust me to get it the wrong way round

Steve, got copies of all 3 things I listed above, sold the Mel Britt and Salvadors for what I paid for them but literally had to give the Danny Monday away

I thought this and a lot of other things were pressed up and sent over by Soussan in the 70's If I remember having a copy of the list advertising a lot of rare titles on their 'original labels' Like Mel Britt, Salvadors, Danny Monday etc.....all NOT 'original presses' but of course that was cunningly omitted on list

Copy just gone thro' Ebay this afternoon @ £114 from a UK seller (11 bids) !!!!! Anyone still got a few of these ....now is a good time to sell em

FANTASTIC !!!! TOP QUALITY TUNES, HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE

Do you know that there are rare originals and very good official re-releases of this. Original goes for I think £250/£300 ish, re-release should be available for £25/£40 ish I think both look exactly the same label wise but I think the original has a tapered down vinyl outside edge and re-release has a squared edge. Unless an expert somebody like Dave Thorley can tell you otherwise.

Thelma Houston - Don't Leave me this way Tavares - Don't take away our music Jodi Mathis - Don't you even Care Reggie Garner - Hotline Any of these fit the bill ?

YES, I GOT MY COPY OF THE FAMOUS 'FRONT PAGE FOCUS' OF JOHN ANDERSONS SOUL BOWL LISTS IN MID SEVENTIES FOR A PRINCELY SUM OF £1-25p....... Hav'nt got it now

Nice one, looks good Smudger mate, I had a british red atlantic back in the day which previously belonged to Mr Levine and have had a black US issue more recently.... not got one now

2 copies of this on Discogs at present. Great record, far cheaper and with the same backing than the rare version.

YOU CAN FIND IT ON YOUTUBE BILLY. I must say I much prefer this version to JUAN WILLIAMS version.

Hi there my Yellow promo of this is stamped in the deadwax with a matrix number how can mine be a boot !!!!

Guiness book of RECORDS would be ideal

PM sent

Instead of some idiot spending £100 on a worthless piece of plastic like this and encouraging the bootleggers to press up even more, why did,nt the auction winner spend a £100 on a what could be a really nice original instead you can get some good records for that money Here's some great nice condition originals all well under £100 I've bought off ebay in the last few weeks... MONORAYS - LOVE £30, MARTHA STARR - NO PART TIME WLP £50, DEALERS - YOU GOT IT £55, LEE TILLMAN - SHE'S THE ONE I LOVE £40, FANTASTIC EPICS - LET'S GET TOGETHER £57 ADVENTURERS - I CAUGHT YOU CHEATIN WLP £75, WORLD COLUMN - SO IS THE SUN £20 none of these will instantly be worthless and you can play em at a gig with you head held high Can't believe PATTI & EMBLEMS went for £450, paid $70 ten years ago for the copy I have now (Sold my first demo in the 70's for £6-00!!!)

Hi there, one on Manies site under Northern for sale section in the 'H' SECTION just depends how much you want to pay for it !!!

One just gone on ebay as well

Jock Mitchell original issue rarer agreed but I have all the goodies on demos including Jock mitchell, I just think the demos look nicer and more distinctive. Incidentally a clean demo has just gone through ebay at over $1300 If you are fortunate enough keep em' both. Bet you ont let Duke Browner go on a demo if you have one

My copy is fine and loud and clear and so is a mates ............'or just bad luck' I think

Have a white demo of BUSTER AND EDDIE, had it for a while and got it off ebay. The guy selling it to be fair said it had a nasty edge warp BUT it DID play thro with a lot of weight on his record players tone arm. Hardly any bids obviously, left well alone too risky ? I put a speculative bid of $75 and actually won it. When it arrived, sure enough it had a bad edge warp and for the first ten or so revolutions it would jump wherever at the start grooves i placed the arm. I had to heavily load the tone arm to get playing success. So I thought oh well I didnt pay a lot for it, it was worth a punt, then I just stuck it in my record box and forgot about it. Over time however, and having been asked several times to play a request for BUSTER AND EDDIE it started to get to me as I would'nt interfere with peoples Dj equipment to weight up the arm on a deck so I could risk playing said record. So I had heard of a crude method to FLATTEN the edge warp so I thought 'he who dares' just give ita go..... Taking a domestic clothes iron set at the lowest heat I cut a foot square area out of a newspaper(most of the sheets thickness) and folded the paper in half to a thickness of about 2-3mm. Letting the iron (switched off) cool for about a couple of minutes I placed the record inside the folded newspaper (2-3mm thick) either side of the record vinyl area effected by the bad warp. Laying the record with paper either side on a hard flat surface like a kitchen work top I the applied the nearly toucheable iron plate to the top layer of paper covering the record.Then with a gentle ironing motion locally over the warp for a minute or two transfering, not to hot a heat thro' the newspaper, I was able to gradually flatten the offending warp. Doing this did leave a kind of light sheen on the vinyl, obviously apply heat to B SIDE of record but after a couple of goes I was able to play the record successfully without having to add any weight to the arm. RESULT !!!! I now have a BUSTER AND EDDIE to play out at gigs, bring on the requests Incidentally I dont recommend trying this with a STYRENE record, I just think vinyl is a bit more workable with a heat process. If you have any records in the same state maybe a cheapie, then give it a try, remember be patient better to only put a 'warm' heat into the method and keep checking your record and gradually trying a little more heat and a little longer with the ironing pressure. It worked for me

I'm amazed there's 5 known copies...... none of 'em are gonna get off loaded tho'. Oh I'm after King George & Fab souls - I need you c'mon I must be able to get one surely, its only on a common label A. Arts anybody....
