What's the most desirable ? The white demo, plain blue label or darker speckled blue Constellation ? (yes I know about Bunky)

Like this....................

And yet US albums do have small hole centres

Arrived today....................................

Thing is that Nigel had the only copies so it only got played when he was there.

Both got played at the Torch, Nigel Martin had three copies. His dad worked for Canadian Pacific Airlines and used to buy on behalf of his son from Martin Koppel long before he became a known quantity. The story is that Nigel's dad asked for "Love you baby" which Koppel didn't have at the time but offered him 'I'm gone' we all know the rest.

Issue or demo, anything from VG+ upwards, a drillion thanks amigos................

You wonder how such a major artist on a worldwide label can be so rare !!

I once had a Chilean Little Richard - I don't want to discuss it, reckon there was a "Southern Soul" scene back in the 70s ?

The original has a narrower run-out and the "66-3088-B" is in larger letters, also "H" stamped in run-out. The boot has a wide run-out and the text is smaller than the original. The run-out width and stamped letter "H" is the best indicator. Here are label scans. Original Boot One can't trust the Manship/Brown/Knowitalls of this world 100% The books they publish are great guides but I've yet to find anyone who'll stick his head and say that all the Los Angeles issued Okeh singles are stamped in the run-out. Arthur Wright say not he would know won't he? Good luck. PS : Don't know how old you are, I know instrumentals are not in vogue this day and age but bewt this shook those wooden floors like no other did in its day. Chris

Supa Dupa Scrumpy Bumpy...............

There's only 1 book you need to read

Will dig them out and post.

I have an original and a boot. The original came from Graig Moerer and the boot from a very well known UK dealer. I'll try and scan them and post them up. Don't ever believe everything that these "experts" say, challenge them heavily.

Yes

£5.00 - £10.00

Demo or issue, condition not that important as long as it plays OK. Thanks

Not really sure I understand this the complaint is that instead of making a top 40 of records he's owned, discovered or likes, he listed things he'd been involved in ? The rat..........................

Was for me

Pete, I really don't care what anybody says about these tracks and clips. They were done in true Northern Soul fashion, people on the ground, soul fans, people who danced to them and collected their records. Some of the singers like Ronnie Walker and Alfie Davision were really down on their financial chin straps, the exposure they got made it possible to get some recognition and a few gigs, for that alone Ian stands in the Northern Soul Hall of Fame.

I was actually, calf steak and white celery........yum, yum...........

When there's no money you do what you can and with what you have. Besides watch this, as proof we removed the cheesy effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&v=4G5esoHzYgk&hl=en-GB

This debate is now some 15 years old. Here's one indisputable fact : NO-ONE else was making anything anywhere, he did it, not happy with result ? go do it yourself.

I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about.
