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....

Arthur Willis ........... If you look out of your window right now you will see a squadron of flying pigs going past !!!!!!!!!

Sorry sent you a pm earlier but don't know if you got it what with all the site update on SS. Hal and Jean on Manship sales site in the Popcorn/RnB records section

Oxford a bit quiet mate, never mind as normal too much on Still enjoyed doing a spot its always nice to be asked. As I said Dave, the copy I am letting go has clean labels but its only VG and it has got this area on the outer edge where its been heated by the sun and is a bit rippled. It does play thro without jumping and is absoutely fine once you get beyond the first half a dozen revolutions. Its really only a fill in till a better one comes but at £30 I think its fine. I leave it to you mate, but if you can let me know either way as another chap is after it . OK

Really sad all this, I too have had dealings with the count. I put a fair bid in on an issue of 3 Degrees - Contact. My bid was the highest but I did not meet the minimum bid so he kept sending me emails harrasing me to up my bid to meet his minimum sale price but I stuck to my guns and after about half a dozen emails from him he thankfully gave up. If he is being so prolific with all the different instances quoted above I will definately put a complaint into ebay if I have another instance like this with him. So beware the 'count' spelt with an 'o'

Hi there, My copy is a vinyl promo I purchased from one of the countries most respected soul sellers in the country back in the early nineties. He got it from a big collection of rare originals that a guy had from way back in the late seventies. My copy has VERY distinct sharp black printing on the label, the deadwax on 'Big Thing' side is capital ABC and like the description in Manship counterfeit/pressing book says the number 12661 the number 2 has no 'oval' and the two number 6's look more like lower case 'b'. The 'Looky Looky' side has in the deadwax ABC - 12660 - again the 6's look like 'b's but note on this side the minus signs between the letters and numbers and the minus sign at the end. I also have the added bonus/interest of having a sticker on the 'Looky Look' side which looks like its been there from day one and says 'THIS SIDE PLEASE, THANK YOU JERRY ROSS'. Looking at popsike most of the counterfeit copies look like the 'ABC' part of ABC - PARAMOUNT around the top of the label looks quite feint and the general impression is that the print of the whole label is a lot more indistinct compared to mine. I dont know whats in the deadwax ? Incidentally I bought my copy for £700 originally, but it does appear to have risen in price somewhat !!!!

Going to Oxford tonite Dave, I have a spare of this and a Volt spare. The Volt spare is -m but the spare Ovide copy has heat damage and is only VG but it plays fine and might do you until you get the chance of a better one. I only want £30 for it and will bring it along tonight if you are coming and you can have a look OK. HAMMIE

No difference musically, tho' I'm not sure what was issued first ?

Paula demo's just as nice and might be a bit cheaper to acquire plus it on vynil. Sold my Paula demo when I got a Vault issue.......great record too which has yet really to have it's day

demo on ebay at the moment if you can go $300 plus Had two demo's and a pink issue over the years, pink issue cost me £25 off Anglo American about 15 years ago. Still have a demo but it's got a warp like a tsunami and need to see if I can find an expert on warp flattening !!!!

Are you sure you dont mean CROSBY , STILLS AND NASH ?
