Got bored waiting for a call so knocked up this quick animation of the last seven days worth of my solar discs.

Acetates are literally 'cut' individually on a lathe basically , no multiple copies from stampers , exactly the opposite in fact as the stampers are made from the acetates.

And have them spread all over the internet willy-nilly , nah. I've waited forty-odd years to do something with them so a little longer won't hurt.

Hi Andy , I'm still deciding what to do with them , along with all the others of bands from those years that I was shooting while most on here were doing Wigan , like SLF , Motorhead , The Undertones , 9 Below Zero , Siouxie and the Banshees , Toyah , Echo and the Bunnymen , The Cure , Gang of Four etc etc. I'm still trawling through the negatives making hi-res (3600dpi) scans of everything , it'll be a while whatever I do as there's loads of rolls to go through. Some were recently used in a film by Brandon Spivey called "Crass: The Sound of Free Speech (The Story of Reality Asylum)" which is doing well across Europe at the moment.

Happy hunting. I don't have any acetates but pretty much every single and album I have is fully autographed after the thirty-odd times I saw them live between '78 in Cambridge and '82 in Paris , as well as umpteen of the photos I shot over the years ...

I know there are some on here like me that started their musical journeys in the late seventies and also like me have a interest in a broad range of genres. There are some real treasures on offer here from a man that had a heavy influence on the ears of many folk so I thought it worth sharing the link for any of the less aurally blinkered members that might be interested. https://bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/auction/details/a259-the-john-peel-collection/?au=205&fbclid=IwY2xjawLcMkpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHhFoOYsW9sPNx1bHEL9Nj1K5bxpcNUCot9zlRr0Rq75Hgh2BXErbHkeiaNZZ_aem_wQqTiNMHd9l1lrvO16kL4A&pp=96&so=0&pn=1

That doesn't finish until the 23rd ...

Lovely to see the font change , it's miles better , thank you Mike.

At about 1:50 in the video she's on stage with the doo-wop group shown in your photo , comprising one black chap and three white fellas so I'm not sure where your statement fits.

.

So it has changed then ... previous to the fiddling it has always worked as Zanetti has instructed in the OP , as in clicking on the image automatically opened the full size image link in a new tab and as you hover the cursor over the image the '+' sign shows and the next click opened the full version , as it always has every time I've posted the results. Right clicking now works so thank you but there's certainly been a change somewhere and it's not my browser or OS.

@Zanetti Hi there , I just downloaded the image and it's just 86 x 750 @ 190kb so presumably not the full image ???

Seems to be a bit of a glitch this time round , clicking once opens the image but there's no enlarged full size image to follow a second click it just closes the image and takes you back to the original post. May be something to do with the 'upgrade' ... ? @Mike

Vividly remember mine , it was the Barbara McNair/Vandellas - You're gonna love my baby/Spellbound on TamTown. Got it at the Oddfellows in Leicester around 1981 for a quid , was admiring it on the bus on the way home with the Ely crowd when I got an almighty bollocking from Aggro , he'd just bought a stone mint British red and white demo for something silly like £300. Makes £50 these days so not a bad buy at the end of the day , if Aggro's red and white had increased in value pro rata it'd be £15,000 now ...

Judging by the tiniest label details it looks exactly like the latest one on Popsike/Gripsweat , which lists it as being from a UK seller ... ?

It pays to ask the question or do a search on here before pulling the trigger.

Boot. The printing is pretty poorly done , no crisp corners and not 'black' lettering. Real one to compare.

I was underwhelmed by it , but I've read all of CJ Sansom's Shardlake series of books so I was over critical.

They wrote it ...

"Stone out of my mind".

" a while " being the operative phrase.

The easy way to tell will still be the physical item the "discovery" was made from , whether that be a 45 , acetate or master tape. None of these have been succesfully replicated/counterfeited to a standard to fool close scrutiny yet , so unless some magical AI robot suddenly appears to do the authentication then there'll be no worries on that score. And even if there were no bugger would believe its findings ... That's not to say that the youngsters down in the west country won't embrace these with open arms.

Doesn't need AI to prompt those feelings , humans do a fine job too. I don't believe half of it now , and haven't done for years ... And some of the most outrageous bullsh*t I've ever heard has been at 3am at all-niters ...

There were 'garage' scenes in the 60s and 70s way before the name was nicked for the 90's genre.
