https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SHEPPARDS-/160480286096?pt=UK_Records&hash=item255d5ed590 Here's a copy that went through Ebay last night. It was VG+ As an aside to ask how much something is worth without stating condition is pretty meaningless in most instances. ROD

My surname is Shard not Hawking so I've no idea how they worked. Im going for pixies or very small elves but no doubt there's a more prosaic explanation. Here's a link mentioning Supremes US eps https://www.diana-web.com/discography/textusa.html Should have mentioned the jukebox strips that are often inside these eps. ROD

I have this recollection of being at the Wheatsheaf in London around late 72/early 73 [when I lived down there] and looking at a Sousson list which contained some highly dubious titles and Im wondering if that was on it? ROD

I understood they were for jukebox use. ROD

You may be confusing this with "Cigarette Ashes" by David Graham started by Dave McCadden in his mag. Rumours of Tony Turner "My room is [6 by6]" have been around since early to mid 70's. ROD

Hopefully picture

GONE Thanks ROD

Best way to go I think. As for the assertion that "modern re-issue" is clear. Not to me it isn't, on first reading on this thread. I assumed it meant re-issue of a modern soul 45. It's only clicked now that it probably refers to "recent". As there is some doubt as to it's legality I think the description is ambiguous. "Bootleg from ...." would have been perhaps more accurate. ROD

If it's a legal re-issue then the bidder is at fault. If it's a boot then he is within his rights to refuse to complete the deal. ROD

If anyone stumbles on this old ad and wishes to order anything I will be in France from Fri 6 August until Sunday 22 August. Thank you.

Glad that got sorted. I was beginning to wonder who I was. ROD

It was a Wigan c/u for Richard. I think though it's a white pop group, maybe from Connecticut.

Well that's the kiss of death for that suggestion! But thanks for kind words. It may be wrong as I kinda assoiciate Glories with the Torch, long time before Morecambe [unless it was an oldies do?] ROD

Reverse lines and it could be Glories "I worship you baby" Im beggin' you please, Im down on my knees ROD

OOTP [green I think].

I have one. This 45 was around over here cheap years ago.

An ode to the Rolling Stones "Is this a Jagger I see before me" Bit stuck for the rest of it ROD

Have a word with Mark Bicknell. He had a copy up for offers in June. Think £1000 is very ambitious. Maybe £500? Doubt wdj or regular makes much difference to most prospective buyers. ROD

It was in Affleck's yes. I've googled "All about Eve" and they appear to be a rock group and I only sold soul/R&B/hip-hop/house so it couldn't have been me. There were a few other record places in there. However had you sauntered up with an "All about Eve" rarity under your arm and I'd noticed it I would have had you escorted from the building. I had Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin and Ron Tyson in one day so obviously I had standards to keep up. ROD

"this job would be perfect if it wasn't for the customers" My experience exactly when running that stall in Manchester. People putting records away and not turning up to pick them up. I am, despite scurrilous rumours, very easy-going but sometimes even I had had enough and put stuff back on sale. The then buyer would eventually show his face and you'd think I'd chopped up his children and fed them to his wife. I'd point out that when he said he'd be in Thursday I'd kinda assumed he meant within the current fiscal year. Most, after an unseemly tantrum, were apologetic so I usually relented and they'd then buy a couple and put another lot away which they didn't turn up for either. Coupled with "why didn't you tell me you had that" and "why did you sell it to him and not me" plus their inability to solve even the easiest clue in the Guardian cryptic crossword has contributed to my rather juandiced view of record buyers. Having said that though only one guy on here has failed to stump up and as it was only £8 no big deal. ROD

Yes, but she's probably big and fat now with varicose veins whilst he's still got the Eddie Garrigan. ROD

The point about it being a UK release was to give it at least some legitmacy.BITD some of the very first club tunes were played off of Stateside etc...... All Mike has to do (with LJH) is wait 30 years or so for acceptance.... Yes Kev but the reason for that was because at the time they were new to our ears and that was the format they were found on. They weren't some 30+ year old oldie on a re-release label. I think context is all here. If Mike is doing an oldies night then I see nothing wrong with playing a legitimate UK re-release. If it's an "upfront" or something different" or underplayed night [or whatever the term used to differentiate between the two camps are] then I think it was Russ who pointed out that Mike had loads of good records that would fit the bill a bit better than a re-released LJH.

Try Souljer6 on here. He had one a while ago he was thinking of selling. £75 may do it. ROD
