Thanks guys

Hi An old Mecca/Torch pal has asked me to do a CD for him. I've never done one of these before! I was given a new and unused 'Sound One' USB deck a few years ago. Some of the 45s requested are worth a few bob and therefore I'm wondering if it would be safe/OK to use this deck whilst preventing damage to the records. Am I being paranoid? Also, can anyone recommend the most suitable CDs for this endeavour? TIA Julian

I must have got one from Dave. It wasn't really well known at the time and I swapped it to Martin Koppel on one of his trips to Blighty for a copy of Bob Relf which I sold to Keith Minshull that weekend for £20. Happy days😀

Sorry, don't know. Maybe Frank Elson, Franny O'Brien or Ian Levine could help. Unfortunately one or two who may have known have sadly passed away.

Yes, interesting one this. Manship says acetate only and Record Collector only 2 know copies. The label, which I recall was white, black and orange ( not 100% on this) was designed by John Bollen originally from Skipton/Earby area ( he is pictured in Blues and Soul on the Dave visit to the Wheel along with Franny O'Brien and Lesley Brown from Huddersfield) I was obviously not photogenic enough to make the pages!!🤣. Folklore is great but I cannot recall seeing it on vinyl, and I was in the 'know' at the time. Happy hunting to find one.

Hi everyone Just found these two letters from Dave. He was definitely going to issue Sam Nesbitt ( I did have some pre issue prints of the label but heavens know where they ended up). Maybe someone on here has them or knows where they are. Second letter at the bottom eludes to the second proposed issue as Sandi Sheldon!!! Pity he never got round to it😓 Thank goodness I didn't bin these😁

I was only listening to Rob Thomas and Ian Wills discussing this cover up on Saturday night. The SWONS?

Still looking for this 45. Any help greatly appreciated 🙏

Certainly helps but has anyone ever seen one or have a photo?

He does state 'very likely a second press etc' as the bottom of his description page. Probably someone has already told him in not a real one ( if he didn't already know🤔)!

Thanks to you all for your input. I could only mark Benji as the solution but you all deserve the same accolade. I can now advise my pal accordingly 😇 Cheers Julian

Just had a conversation with an old Blackpool Mecca guy who is convinced that there is a version of this on A & M records. I've never heard of this, only ever heard of ( and owned the issue and demo) of the Omen copy. I'm thinking he's wrong. Please confirm. TIA

I sincerely hope so! Julianb (Bentley)👍🤣

Bugger!

Just found my copy. Only markings in deadwax are A-1-A and something that looks like NSG in a circle ( scratched in). B side has the same but the A-1-A has the B over the A ( if that makes sense?) It's styrene. Is this the legitimate reissue?

Here's an interesting copy. Monarch readings 64973

Yes, the white promos. Not sure about styrene or vinyl but they do look very convincing
