Does the WD copy skip?

I'm old enough to remember when bootlegs drove down the price of originals. Jeff King and his Soul Sounds, Simon Soussan, Selectadisc, OOTP releases etc. I snagged an original Sandi Sheldon demo around 1971 for £8 only for it to be booted and available for 90p the following week. Nobody was then interested in the original😪 Thankfully things have changed for the better👍

If he has, it's his first 'original 45' purchase!🤣🤣🤣

The vg copy on ebay didn't take long to sell at $3700 earlier today

Nothing to do with the query but 'Docker' from Gloucester (I think that's correct, my memory is going a bit) had the first copy that was played at the Wheel. He brought it to Lord Jim's in Huddersfield where I gave it a spin! Happy days

I get asked to play this by the organiser of a local event, which I do for charity, as it is her favourite tune. Last time I was there, another DJ played it on a 'bootleg. The organiser was absolutely furious and told him to $%#& off!🤣

I used to own an emidisc machine. Twink (Ian Bottomley) would go to Wigan and come back with orders which we cut and he then sold them the following week. I can't remember what we charged, it may have been based on rarity value but I can't remember. The blanks cost 50p when 45s cost 38p. Happy days🙂

Don Covay See Saw - UK demo buy it now at £30 or best offer. Sold for £31🤣 You can't make these things up!!

Another dealer in Leicestershire always 'flipping' records. I've lost a couple recently to him only to see them on his website at 30% or more than paid! I haven't bought them.

Many thanks forvthe information. The SWONS !

Photo I took earlier

My copy is signed by Jackey. I was told that he signed a few 'give aways' at a car saleroom promotion. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi Dave Yes, the Accrington boys were around at the Torch and Mecca along with most of lancashire if I remember correctly! Speak to Tom Handley from Southport on a regular basis. I have an old address book. When I get time I'm going to list lots of names from back in the day to see if anyone knows where they are. Cheers Julian

Graham did bring back some great sounds from the States. Enjoyed buying, swapping, haggling with him back in the day.

There are 6 but I can't spot them all either! My excuse is that my eyes are old🤣👍🤣

Bee fest - can you spot the 6 bees on the yellow flower?

Never had one myself either. Spent 2 weeks in Torquay listening to one with Les Cokell, Tubby (RIP) and the Chorley gang. Happy days.
