Yeah, found that site by tapping into the image you posted up of the Twin Singer 2 but can't see the images due to some kind of bloody Firewall here at work. I'll check the site out later tonight. Cheers.

That's brilliant. Thanks Flynny. Where did you find that image? Also, I remember the cassette configuration more at 90 degrees to that image with the top of the cassette nearest to the hinge and the recording head pointing in the direction of the turntable. Having said that, perhaps age has played tricks on my memory. :o)

Hi Flynny, Yeah, I've seen one of them too, the Sound Burger with a built in cassette player / recorder? I think it might have been Mick Smiths but I'm not certain. Have never met anybody else who even knows what I'm talking about, never mind someone else who has actually seen one. Thanks matey, was beginning to doubt my own sanity. :o)

Hey, I asked first.

Anybody out there with an old Sound Burger that no longer works who would like to part with the battery cover? Please PM me if you do. Thanks. Denbo.

Nobody?

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT, NO WAY IS THAT TRUE

1) 'Frador' - A mouth ulcer treatment applied using a purple coloured liquid from a small glass tube via a cotton bud stick and telling this poor gullible punter in the toilet whilst treating a couple of troublesome ulcers, that it was a 'new way' of taking amphetamines. Honest, it's true :lol: 2) Getting jumped on by 3 Coppers as I approached my car for using my Mother's Tax disk on my old clapped out Morris 1100. 3) Buying great British released records from the days of the Twisted Wheel and earlier for 50p and less. Bought a Billy Harner - What About The Music instrumental on UK Karma Sutra for £2!!!

1 - Alan Day (or was it Colin Curtis?) circa Mecca / Torch days - Great records but just as good was his clear voiced style of banter in between the records, keeping the audience informed as to what was being played and to what it was they were dancing their heads off to. 2 - Liverpool's Billy Butler circa Mardi Gras / Cavern days - Great records (mostly British) with a hilarious style of banter in between the records. 3 - Ian Levine - Just brilliant records!!! QED.

Hi Mike, Was great to be introduced to you last night by Ste Cato, there seems to be so few Scousers on our little scene these days. I can see from your posting that you may not be too much into the R&B scene, but I hope I'm wrong. Anyhow, if you can make it down to the Gerard on the 14th August for the Rhythm Shack, you'll hear some great early 60s Soul too and we could catch up a little and chat without having to shout; was very loud in that small room last night. Take care. Denbo.

Toys or Crystals?

How many of these have you got?

"Richard also talks about another occasion when he reversed his car over his record box (!!!!!) and trashed a copy of the very rare single containing the instrumental version of "What About The Music" - Billy Harner." I'm sure Richard told me once that it was just cracked, how badly, I can't remember. Let's hope it isn't actually "trashed".

This link does not work, the user has removed it. Is there another link available somewhere?

Hi Mike, I suppose you know you just missed one a few days ago on eBay? I was looking at it myself, it went for $139. What about this Stateside 'sample' Lp, is it the same recording / take as the UA 45?

What lists? I haven't seen any lists of Sales from you Tony ................ Have I?

'That Beer' is down to you Tone. 'When and where' is all I need, providing it's midweek and on a Tues, Wed, or Thursday. :o)

Yes, that's how I discovered the fact about One Horse Town being listed twice. Very odd.

Also came out on British pink Island. With the track 'One Horse Town' listed twice.

That was nicely put and preempted my next comment, which would have been, my mate John Kelly picked one up (an issue) on eBay from the States for $3 'Buy It Now'. Incredible!!! Went to a big Wand collector back in the States for $4figures. Not a bad profit, or what. :o)

Unless he has a Demo or Test Pressing or Acetate, then it it must have been released?

Has anybody else seen it, or have it on US Polydor???

Is it just me, or is anybody else having problems using the LISTEN button on Manship's sight for this record? It was working fine last week when I first took a listen.

Hey :-) And wow, doesn't time fly. Good to see you in Manchester a few weeks back. Take care. Hang on, I'd better make a contribution to the thread. My copy is a White Demo and the only one I've seen. Got another great record by this guy on blue and silver checker. Not heard it played out anywhere yet???

Don't reckon you wanna hear this but, I played that toon (cheers Ste) early set, early doors, at OOTB in Manchester last Saturday night and it sounded great. Well, to me anyhow. Might have been first, or second track after my opener, which was Earl Grant's version of 'Fever', super cool. Good luck with finding a copy and if I come across another, I'll get back in touch.
