Is this actually out yet Dave as I've not heard or seen anything requesting payment!

Last one I saw on a list was £50, but it's the kind of record you can still pick up for peanuts if you're lucky.

Me too! Though in my youth I thought it was a US copy....

Awesome indeed Bob!

I think there's only one on Ebay and it's currently £31 bid with 4 days to go!

Well I quite like it Manus!

Contempo were a UK (and US latterly) label run by Blues and Soul owner John Abbey from 1973, distributed by Decca , Pye and WEA. Quite a few UK only issues and lots of UK productions, some of which I'm sure are fine to play out.

I think it meant to say "No US 45". And £8 sounds good to me.

Yeah go on Steve - you know you want to!

I spoke to John Manship earlier in the week about this record, funnily enough, having just got my sweaty hands on a copy and the proviso he added to the boot descriptions in his guide was that the boots did not have a stereo side. So a careful listen should point anyone in the right direction.

Rob I used to buy ex chart singles in the 1968/69 period from my local record shop and they were 4/- then so new releases would have been more. I reckon these 45s you mention must have been a few years earlier.

I've played the Step by Step side out a few times in the past year always gets enquiries about what it is. Spanish only as far as I'm aware. The LP which also came out on Zafiro has a couple of other more xover tracks worth a play too.

To be honest I don't know but have a look at this photo of the Kelly Bros. Sorry it's in the flyer but I can't find the original at the moment. It's a UK President promo photo c. 1967 /8.

Yep, I believe so.

Here's a scan of the demo

I agree Ady, not a tailormade as far as I'm concerned. Remeber buying both of these from Roy at Black Wax as new releases.

I believe it's a cleaned up slightly remixed version of the Henseforth 12".

Now that Chris is sorted - I'd like one of these too!

Last saw the Johnny Nash listed at £50. Robert Parker about right. Don't know about the others Cheers Paul

Hmmm... I'd say closer to £600. One was offered on here last year at £500 and sold.

Don't be so cruel to a mere pensioner:whistling: See you Thursday!

Anyone got a clip please?

Craig Moorer has a Columbia one for $35 Mark.
