Dave hope u well up there in Leighton…..question for ya….if you had stock how come so very few of the big names from around that time have this on a 45? What happened to the copies? Everytime I play it on 7, I get asked about it…..by generally knowledgable folk. I thought it was as Dave 2 said - done about 3y after the LP? Yours faithfully, Confused of Broxbourne...

Yes Dave - great that he picked the best two tracks from the album too…..

Yes it did Keith, but it's hard. Took me years to find my copy.

Lovely looking 8" Columbia acetate on ebay recently….got outbid mind you it wouldn't have fitted in me playbox….

No it's a v rare original…..bid away with confidence….you won't see another in a hurry….

Thank goodness for that!

It was never around in quantity tho. I originally bought it for the other side back in the 90s

Yes I remember that, and getting some bar-gins off ya too! I went in the actual shop for sale a few times never found any soul in there. Always turgid rock types and hippies in....Rocks Off much better!

Hi Gareth, I think 154 came out with two B sides also....memory talking.

Am amazed at £200 for the Skullsnaps.....

I've got em all Dave, so will check later unless someone else pops up with an answer...

Dave there were a couple of CJ Wand's that had alternative B sides......actually issued with two B sides....

A lot of clues on here now.....8 across. Where is Lenny when you need him?

That's a shame...we could have put Sandy Golden to bed, figuratively speaking of course

Time to lighten this thread up a bit......enough of the serious stuff....Enjoy this mild fun! ...And Ian see you @ Majestic - first pint on me! Beware Record Bootleggers are back.pdf

Must have been a seeding place for local record and film types to dispose of their unwanted wares then I guess being in the West end. What a place to have your local record shop! I seem to remember you working in there at one point Ady, or shouldn't I have mentioned that?

please NO! 35 years ago???…1978. No one was a "soulie" then. Then you were "into northern" or a "northern fan". First time I heard the term "soulie" was in Nottingham in the 90's when someone in baggy pants asked me wasn't I "a soulie"? I naturally replied no, and walked away quickly.

Yes he did…...

No Pete it isn't.

Yeah there's no money in record shops anymore……way overpriced…….West End rates…...and the stock looks like it's largely "un-moveable" too…..the stuff no one wants etc…..Yet there are 20 offers?

FFS. Can you not grasp the simplest of concepts Sooty? The "all sorts" doesn't refer to other types of music, it means all sorts of people into soul. Surveyors, bricklayers, postmen, office workers....and friends of Prince Charles even eh? If you put us all in a room you'd be amazed how diverse we are as a group.

Yes I agree sounds like one vocalist, double tracked.

Why do you need a word? We're just folk who enjoy decent music - all sorts. Don't need a "badge" or a "name", except for the "civilians" of course.

I agree, although I hate the word "soulie" and also know a number of "soulies" who are quite content in their armchairs and bidding up things on ebay / jogging around their record rooms....But broadly yes Terry.

I don't know what info you have on your "members", but it seems like you still have it 15 years later and so should keep it quiet or dispose of yer database rather than talking about it on the internet. If you are hacked....it could potentially be big trouble for Sooty. Maybe not, but you should be aware of the ground beneath your feet is mighty shakey etc....
