To save on vinyl costs. Mingy bastards.

Yes it does.

Don't back down now Sean. I think you DID 'mean' record and NOT number in your original post. I know, because that's what we all did then and to a certain degree, we still do now. But more perhaps with American Imports now.

I completely agree with this Sean. Well put. I'm pretty sure that all UK releases on sale at Manchester's Mazell's Records back in the early days had their centres pushed out because, if memory serves me right, they were all stacked together by sliding them all onto an iron rod that had a padlock thingy on the end.

That's MY fault Ged, not yours. Still, it was good to be reminded.

I agree with you Pete and have had some very successful goes at it in the past. Except for those damned Demos.

What about very carefully glueing back in a perfect replacement centre that matches the host record?

Is that what you think it'd safely / max sell for? Or how much you'd like to buy one at, in order to turn a profit?

Not even a REALLY rare UK 45 Ste?

Good to put a face to a name Saturday. Thanks for coming over and introducing yourself to me. So, what would you value a UK Timi Yuro on Liberty with centre popped out Ged?

Thanks guys, I'm beginning to get a better idea now.

I'd be guessing.

Thanks Pete.

How do you do that Jason? I'd like to do the same.

Great show Pete, really enjoyed it.

Yes, well done, that's the one.

There was a similar thread to this a couple of weeks ago tops. Or was it on Facebook. No, I'm pretty sure it was on here. Can anybody else track it down? The other thread that is.

Gotta be for export. Question is, which country?

Did anybody take a recording of the Chairman Of The Board record, only I kept trying to listen to it whilst at work, which I can't, and kept forgetting to listen to it when I was at home. Would love to hear it. If the new owner fancies sending me a recording, I wouldn't say no. Please PM me if you're reading this. Thanks.

I guess you're right about the very early Okeh stuff on UK Columbia 78's and 45's, I probably wouldn't want to bother collecting them. Having a list of what Okeh recordings did get a UK release would be good to know though. For instance, didn't know about that other Johnnie Ray 78. As for the Chuck Willis Ep, I think it's on my list, can't check, in London, but I can't remember ever having seen one. Is there a scan of it anywhere? Btw Tony (& Gene), thanks for all this info, chuffed to find others even remotely interested in this kind of stuff.

That was good info Gene, something to work on. I knew about the Johnnie Ray 78 on UK Columbia, or at least it struck a chord, but not the Moran & Mack. Thanks for that little snippet.

Somebody please pass me some tissue.

Thanks very much Gene and Tony for all the facts and information above. A damned good read. I need to alter my Wants list accordingly. Do either of you have an extensive list of all Okeh recordings released over here on UK labels?

These JK Series 45s Gene, were they UK releases? Well, produced for the Juke Box industry but not for general release?
