I agree but because some do not like what the some or do or other things they get up to it doesn’t give anyone the right to troll, abuse and insult others. No one insulted or abused them. Of course there was plenty new to the music, it was essentially a proms audience.

More lazy journalism, you’d think with all the info out there including the full story on here by Andy Rix if memory serves he’d get it right.

Interesting reading and again some excellent information.

Another great topic with super info. Never seen the Summit release before.

I’m friends with Jack on there. I’ve asked him a few questions over time, last one last week but he rarely can remember anything.

It is real one. The stamp is M.S.I. Co, Philly pressing plant

This week Phil Beckwith makes a welcome return to the studio.

There are plenty of common records that are hard to get, they are now scarce with insufficient copies to meet any demand. No one was disputing that Eddie Parker was "hard to get", we was disputing the claim made by you and Frankie as to how many copies there actually was. I said myself earlier in the topic it was stuck in collections, too good to sell. It has been up for sale once in a while too, maybe not on major dealers lists. Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean one hasn't sold. There are other ways records are sold.

Sad news seems to be daily/weekly Nice guy Jim, both in his company and online. R.I.P. Jim

It doesn't confirm nothing, maybe the 45 RPM guy just wasn't aware of the Eddie Parker being an archer press, other records missing too. Elusive and rarity are different too.

He wouldn't go to the trouble of demos and then only a few issues, the costs would be far too high. They were after all trying to make money. Jack did say to me yesterday that he thought the record was ahead of its time.

The differences/variants were known to those in record bars to my knowledge

Jack cannot remember anything, long time ago he said.

as for the other "plant" from 45 cat

Popsike isn't THE guide for sales of any record. Not every copy sold via eBay is on popsike. Many deals for this record were done before popsike was a twinkle in the sack of the owners and away from eBay. Only records over $20 are included and copies before NS became popular again probably sold for less in the early days of the internet. I dare say the vast majority off any deal for this record were done at a venue. There was more than a few issues IMO, had a copy myself back in the day as did others and most will be stuck in collections, it is too good to sell. If demos were pressed and given out then I doubt they would go to the trouble of a "few" audio samples, any test pressings would be done before the demo stage. I've asked Jack for some clarification.

Spent most of the day with him watching him rehearse at Yarmouth, fantastic.

Tommy Tate. Why he is never mentioned is beyond me?

Kin. 'kin brilliant .

It was Dave and Sean who broke it on our scene. Not sure they had it first mind, did think George at first?? When was the AOTN piece written cause it was a lot longer than 7 years ago.

Two of the busiest lads on the scene, Simon Ingham and Baz Maleady join Dean for two hours of quality soul music.

Have to agree about the quality off finds in the 70s, records like this, hearing them for the first time.

I've seen more than 3 or 4 with the genuine Archer stamp, plenty more. Whilst tough to find it is by no means super rare.

Used to see loads and for not very much

Great bloke, a proper gent. He and his camera has been and will be greatly missed. R.I.P. Dave
