Anoraks Corner

...and here's a nice WD label variant on Keyman:

Never been that tough to find on a WD...stock copy anyone? The flipside is vastly superior...awesome mid-tempo beat-ballad...imo. Agree with Pete circa £125.

Ths flipside is great too.

Watch out for her unissued GWP stuff which will (hopefully) appear on a future Kent CD...awesome...and miles better than her Kapp 45 for sure.

Fortnum has/had the vg copy from Eddie Holman.

I haven't got my set to hand, but wasn't their a partial list within the Malaco CD box set? >>> CLICK HERE <<<

Without the credit copy below. Agree that this is quite possibly the rarer, contrary to some guide valuations.

Love this early number...a great double-sider.

I've just sold one for £20. Also sold an original of SSLPTM for £60 not too long ago...mint stock copy. Still have a clutch of various D.Town and Premium Stuff discs by him for sale on my site. A great artist.

Yep, I've got it.

No mate, my copy came from elsewhere. By the way, this thread has reminded me that I picked up another disc on the label that was new to me...quite a good 'Greater Experience' style dancer...I may even treat the Tokyo collectors to it this weekend at our little get together! I'm sure they'd love it...if I played it at -6 and turned it into a Deep Soul track!

It does exist. There are also two different presses for Shirley Edwards.

True, it could do with an instrumental break mid way through, but I'm happy enough with the way it is...and can always fade it out if it begins to drag on! There are stock copies and demos, but both are tough to obtain...a safe £1000+?

Superb LP. US Dore label copies pop up over here fairly regularly and normally sell circa £50, though they never seem to be in tip top condition. The Japanese P.Vine label copies aren't exactly common, as they are now 20 years old themselves - they have duplicate original sleeve design and came complete with obi strip and sleeve incert. The sound quality on the P.Vine copies is spot on...but...I personally prefer the 45 mix of their awesome moody mid-tempo, 'It only hurts for a little while'! I think I may have a spare copy of the P.Vine release...will check tomorrow, and if you need sleeve/label scans, I can do tomorrow...as it is nearly 1AM over here now and I need my beauty sleep...resist the comments if you will?!

Ex 'Carl Hall' c/up. Superb track outta Texas. Was a popular spin at the CSC/Dome.

Hi Des, yea I think I saw that copy too...but was told by another collector that the one Pat played it off had a yellow label and was vg+. Was the one you had Lo-Fi and with a blue tinge to the acetate?

Also on Japanese London.

Simon, can you recall the colour of the Audiodisc label your mate had...better still anyone know for sure the colour of the one Pat played?

Got a Japanese copy of the, 'A little Knight Music' album...not sure if, 'Standing ovation' got a release over here. If it did, I will get one, oh yes I will get one...it is my destiny!

Yep, it sure is...the Columbia one with the orange sleeve behind it is the original 60's release/cut we all love to pieces.

Wouldn't be a true anorak thread without me pointing out that there was a Japanese issue (or two) too!

No 'telephone-ringing' sound effect in the background, either.

With y'all on this one...no bootleg and no styrene copies, but it isn't on the Gamble album, 'The Gamble Records All Stars***'...but 'Let's fall in love all over', the beautiful, beatiful flipside to the Salvador 45, is. (***- A great album with some alternate takes and gloryfied stereo mixes...quite rare.) The Salvador red stocker used to be around in quantity and never went above £40, whilst its WD counterpart was always a lot tougher and a £100+ even back then (mid 80s) to those of us inflicted with the dreaded, 'Must-have-a-demo' virus (no known cure). Over the last couple of years the stocker has crept into three-figures too. Tangent time...never seen a WD of the other track on the label that got a few Stafford period spins, Mel Vena Allen's, 'The bigger your heart'...red stockers/DJ Copies, only...anyone got a WD?

I recall almost choking on my coffee when I first heard the relevant smple on their superb album, 'Three feet high and rising', all those years ago! In fact, I do believe it happened in a record store called, 'Backs' in Norwich, back in the Spring of 1989...a great shop in it's day and a place where us record label reps would happily stay for a coffee and chat after the sales pitch...halcyon times! If I hear any track from it now, its guaranteed to put a smile on my face...a classic album indeed.

The album also came out in Japan...luverly gatefold sleeve too! Love, 'Love, love, love'.
