I agree the postage is too much from the states but even with the extra it is usually cheaper than a UK dealers copy. There is a record advertised on here at £40. On Discogs there is one at $14.99, just under a tenner, even with postage it is still half the uk price.

Why are uk sellers of Lp's in particular far more expensive than European and US dealers. Even with postage they often work out cheaper to buy from abroad. There was one Lp on here last week that I wanted and there were five copies on Discogs half the Uk sellers price or less. Do they want to sell, are they in it for what they can get out of it? This wasn't or isn't an isolated case either, time after time Uk sellers on Discogs are near the bottom of he list for sale.

This should be 30/40 quid, maybe twice as much for the demo. There was a demo offered on here other week for £55. Some people just aren't prepared to do either any homework and look for a valuation or even look for a copy at the right or a reasonable price.

Maybe so but this has always been played. It isn't rare by any stretch of the imagination.

I shall be at the Stables on Saturday for Lifeline (blatant plug) and there is nothing sterile about that place. Plenty of great venues about although there are some places that need a bulldozer. Dunno why most promoters feel we are more than happy shit holes with flea bitten seating. The Wilton is one of the best venues I've been in, nice clean and ideal for an all-nighter.

It still is rare in the grand scheme of things and I dare say most of the copies up for sale are copies that have been about for a long time just doing the rounds. £250 you are having a laugh aren't you?

Probably due to the quality of the recording they used Franc. Pretty sure the soundfile used was for the coy sold via here last year. Wiggy, almost certainly a cut/emi/carver or whatever name people wish to call them by. What is the acetate label name, any markings etc?

Was done about a year ago.

I was told it was a Mecca spin first then a Cleethorpes biggie?

It isn't the same George Clinton (Parliaments etc). He's white for a start. There was a previous topic and I think photo of him if you search SS.

I've missed the Wilton so can't wait for this. Debbie Taylor and band, gonna be one great night.

TFK always had taste. I've downloaded and got it on he iPod...will be listening today.

Again....Carl Carlton has been and done Cleethorpes. Great he was too, real showman full of energy. Think he was on is arse finance wise back then as well? Ady will know more.

Who is Kala?

It was a year ago just under......

Carl Carlton has made a weekender appearance here, 2006 at Cleethorpes along with Darrow Fletcher I think.

Sad to hear this news. "Lay this burden down" one of my favourites and like others great memories of her at the early Weekenders. R.I.P. Mary.

Stafford had finished by this time Pete. Stafford closed in February 1986. I have at least three podcasts on my mixcloud page of the 100 Club about a year later, maybe a bit longer, about 4.5 hrs of it I think?

I'd like to see the list too

Hi Krissi I know of photos used and written consent was gained, that is a fact as I was involved in some way with some.

From Don't Forget The Motor City..... Past Time Lover (Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Freddie Gorman) publ. Jobete Marvin Gaye; recorded Hitsville, completed 23-Aug-62 ; produced by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier [rel date unknown] [acetate]; 45 (M): [no catalogue number] 14-Dec-12; (M): (MP3 release) Motown Unreleased 1962: Guys, Vol. 1

Acetate only.

I don't know I didn't write it and to be honest it is nothing to do with me. I was simply passing on that the book is scheduled for publication. I presume it means that photos, memorabilia and memories belonging to contributors depicting certain periods and venues have been used.

Sherry is Geralene Toomer and she is definitely lead on Look Out Love. However not so sure on Time Will Change but I'm only listening on the iPad so not easy to listen properly.

Gonna have to go and have a listen now
