Guess that's why he wants 'em?

Well, like I said, keep me posted, as I'm happy to cough up another £tenner if it's needed. But give everybody a chance. They probably haven't seen your posting yet. I can take a peek at SS on and off throughout the day, for others it might not be so easy. Having said that, come on people, if you've not donated before, do so now . . . . . or when you next login and read this.

Oh, okay. But let me know if your request falls short of your needs and we'll take it from there. Denbo.

Released in the UK on a UK label? What label was that? STIBBE? Is it in the Record Collector Price Guide? What's it worth on the UK label?

I'll donate another £10 Pete. How do you want it?

Also try Roger Banks. I'm pretty sure he stocks them too. And your money will be going to a Soulie.

Yeah, no probs Keith, I was just reiterating whilst trying to get my point across. I only collect the 'flat back' G font style on TMG releases and am trying to complete my attempts at having the first one hundred with that font style. I MAY attempt to do the same from 600 to 699 once I've completed the first one hundred. I am looking to obtain the following TMG numbers, with the original 'flat back' G font styles. If anybody can help, please PM me. TMG 509 TMG 518 TMG 520 TMG 521 TMG 522 TMG 529 TMG 544 TMG 549 TMG 551 TMG 557 TMG 572 TMG 580 TMG 587 TMG 589 TMG 593 TMG 599 Can't be sure 'cos I'm not at home but my palmtop computer suggests that I have original 'flat back' G font styles on TMG's 650, 662, 669, and 699. Will confirm that at the weekend, one way or the other. Cheers, Denbo.

The Jimmy Ruffin scan on the left is not an original label print release and can only conclude that it is a re-issue with the same number. The Four Tops scan in the posting above is an original label print release. Look at the back of the 'G' on the TMG. If it's 'flat backed', it's an original label print issue. If it has a 'rounded back', then it's a re-issue, or a 'repress' if you prefer but repressed after the font style on the label design had changed. Can't say when that actually happened? Hope this makes things clearer? God, I feel like a right nerd now but hey, we all collect for a bunch of different reasons.

Nice

Sorry Tony, the following extract doesn't make sense? I also have all the non-reissues through to the end of the 600s and none of them are tall type. I think that EMI must have stopped using that font around the time they started to make more 45s with solid (i.e. non push out) centres. But didn't you just say you had a TMG 639 in 'tall type' (my 'flat back')? Sorry if I missed something??? PS - Off to the Belgian 'Lowlander' on Drury Lane tonight if you fancy a pint, or two?

A notion I believe to be true. As for the "Sold in the UK. . . ", I'm not as certain about that aspect of the label design. Might there be some with 'round back' G's also with the "Sold in the UK. . . " printed on the push-out centres? If so, then they are of no interest to me. It's 'flat back' G's or nothing for me, with or without the "Sold in the UK. . . ". Nerdy or what?

There you go, that's one more issue with a 'flat back' G that I didn't know about. Ta.

Nah, you're definitely incorrect there. I know I have one at TMG 620 or perhaps even TMG 624. And there may be later ones than those. Nice thought though, ending the 'flat backs' with the last of the first 100.

I could do better if I were at home but off the top of my head, the latest one I might have is TMG 620. Why? Do you only collect the 'flat back' G's as I call them? Now the Demos continued with the 'flat back' G's for some time, even after the last 'flat back' G issue, whatever number that actually turns out to be.

And all listened to, if not known already, via your newly acquired Crosley Revolution. Let me know if you find anything out regarding wireless earphones Gaz, using the wireless capability of the afore mentioned 'Revolution'. I'll do likewise if I find out how to make it work first. Just imagine it, Sound Burgers with wireless headphones. Oooerrr!!! That'll save a lot of heartache / accidents won't it. Denbo. PS - Thorsten was there. He was EVERYWHERE!!!

You had to post it up didn't you. You bar steward!!!

Hi Tommy, Hope all's well with you and the rest of Oslo? Does your copy actually have printed on it somewhere, Promotional Copy, Demonstration Copy, Advance Copy, etc? Only, my understanding is that all the Glad Hamp records released around this number are white labels, having nothing to do with the fact that they may, or may not be Demos. And no, I did not find another copy on my recent visit to the States . . . unfortunately. Neither did I find anything from your Wants List I'm afraid. Denbo.

It is.

Has anybody got a discography of Albert Washington's recordings? Would appreciate a list or a link to one. Denbo.

Sorted now thanks. :o)

Can somebody please direct me to a Mercury Record Label Discography that would include those in the 71000 series? Thanks in advance. Denbo.

£270!!! What a good price. Mind you, it looks very well looked after. I'm still after a couple of battery covers for my Burgers, as well as the record centre thingy, you know, the black rubber thing that allows us to play American 45s and it also acts as the holder for the stylus arm when it's packed away. Can't remember what it's actually called? Anybody?

Did you win it Pete at £91? That's a BARGAIN!!!
