I wouldn't have thought when a package says fragile on it in big letters you don't drop through a hole 4 feet off the ground? They could try knocking on the door first? I think the point is they simply don't seem to care these days.

He was killed by the mafia.

Playboy October 1968.

Look forward to last night and last weeks on Monday

Arthur had one then around that time, Andy and Richie Conn got one a year or two later.

Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

There's been two or three at least through ebay. Still very rare.

Our postie used to be a collector and always knocked and hand the records over but we seem to get different ones now who just don't give a f*ck. Hope I'm not in the house and he or she posts a 45 through the letter box!

Most of us are the right age for one of those

Magma do a great lp trolley.

Our postie posted one through the door for me, letter box is half way up the door, tw*t.

If ypu can't alter the volume quickly amd efficiently then I would suggest you shouldn't be behind te decks. Many 45's are recorded at different levels so no different really. Dave, how many do you want doing and what tracks? I can send whoever the sound files for you if you pay em. Just let them know me or someone else would be sending the files etc? I can only do it really at weekends.

There's plenty who do like it, that's the beauty of this scene all have differing tastes. It would be boring if we all liked the same. Too many here seem intent on giving an opinion for everyone and slagging off DJ's and dancers or accusing others of scraping the barrel simply because a record isn't to their taste. Chuck Flamingo, I 've seen many a full friendly dancefoor to it. It certainly isn't as bad as some of todays so called progressive records, some shite funk and gospel masquerading as progressive northern soul.

Make your mind up. Your above comment should be dance floor friendly and rarity then ;) Not everything is judged by the dancefloor, not everyone who buys records are northern soul fans.

What's driving the price of Chuck Flamingo then? Didn't do bad for a record that isn't a good dancer?

Timmion charge 33 euros or thereabouts for a two sided acetate. Proper acetates with metal centre. Better sound quality than carvers too in my experience. You have to send the sound file, best quality possible, wav for instance via sendspace or something similar. https://www.timmion.com/cutting/dubs/

I can remember The Icemen fetching 900 quid or so, i can't remember if that was a black or blue copy? I can't remember Chuck Flamingo fetching 300 quid or so though, not on recent times prices, always been tough.

There are 21 copies of the Icemen on popsike from the last 18 months and only two are over 400 quid. The one yesterday seems to be comparable to other auction prices in recent times. If it was blue vinyl then yes I would have expected it to sell for more. As said it isn't as rare as some make out and it wasn't an absolute bargain as suggested but probably the going rate for a black vinyl copy. How many more the guy on ebay has is open to speculation unless someone has inside knowledge.

Keb did play it Stafford time. Believe it had the odd spin mid 70's?

To give this some perspective how many sales has it taken to achieve this?

I remember at one time 50 copies turning up would render the 45 practically worthless, 5/600 for Icemen with 50 copies coming onto the market, maybe more, not IMO, it'd be less than the auction figure IMO. Been plenty of copies around in the past, not common I grant but nevertheless.......

There is also a radio two tribute tomorrow night at ten, Trevor Nelson I think doing it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04b3pvx

A pimple protrudes, a dimple is an indentation (goes inwards) ;)

Top bloke and so sorry to hear this. Hope you are back to your best soon Rick.

Magic Touch is the sound track yes, but the record on the deck when they show Guy when it starts isn 't Magic Touch.
