Let me know, I'll take it.............

Ended up selling for nearly 50 quid...............

Should be an EX-ish US or UK but CHEAP !

I think you could be right !! But be honest no record is worth that, I mean for that kind of money you could cover yourself in Philippine hookers for 6 years !!..........er allegedly.............. Mind you seeing what it does to a dance floor....................................

Not really Pete, I think we all smiled at each other but didn't trust anyone as far as you could throw them. Nigel Martin's connections were far ahead of anybody else's, apart from Ian's I guess. A pal of mine had a relationship with a record shop in LA and he'd supply just one copy of most records he'd ask for, only demos though including I might add a mint demo of Hit & Run................................................. If we only knew then what we know now

No, sorry (BTW know Dave since 1972)

Killer Track

For a few years I thought NS records were on their way down, in terms of price. For sure the £50 records mostly seemed to have their values go down to £20-ish. Having said that watching last weekend's "The 3 Ebay Super Scratchy Sellers", FunkYou!, Burl*one and Sharlow45 auctions, my word didn't they get top prices for their stuff ? Most were ruffa than sandpaper.

When's the end of auction date ?

I have a few mates that sell cheapies on Ebay, they tell me that anything less than $5.00 a single to Europe stopped overnight with a virtual doubling of the postage costs. What I have found is that sellers will (much more willing than before) combine shipping costs, just bought 5 records and seller gave same costs as I single. I kinda wonder if there's a market for selling on UK Ebay cheap USA releases, say Motown for a quid or two a piece ?

You know I've seen about 3 or 4 types of look-a-like boots. Having said that there does seem to be a copy that hails from the US without the stamp. It's always been assumed it came from those 70s boots that Selectadisc sold (Hesitations, Barbara Mills, etc;) these has almost perfect labels and in the case of Jerry Cook and Alex Patten actual original labels. Boots wouldn't have found their way to the US in the 70s. I guess it's so long ago we'll never really know, if you want a 100% guarantee then you have to get it with stamp.

Julian, it'slooking very much like there are originals without the stamp. Read this................ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321062771996?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

There's always the legit Mojo re-issue.................

Try and get it on UK Stateside much better reproduction.

Let us know how he gets on, always useful to pass this sort of info along...............

Can only name a few Pat Kelly - How long will it take Toots/Maytals - 54-46 was my number Clancy Eccles - Fire Corner

Sylvie Vartan - De Ma Vie..................................Rescue me.................

He co-wrote/produced one of my all times favs, the Doctor, best £5.00 you'll ever spend.

OMG Pete imagine those Alex Pattens & Jerry Cook's aren't boots !! :ohmy:

Pete This is pretty interesting................... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321062771996?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Without going too much off topic Nigel also had copies of Duke Browner before anyone I knew.

No Pete but you may remember the stories he told of when he did have them, people used to come round his house asking to buy it !!

I'm talking 1972/3

It's been a very, very long time ago but I do believe collector Nigel Martin had 3 copies. His dad worked for Canadian Pacific and he bought records from Martin Koppel way before Martin K became universally known. Meethinks he asked for "Love you baby" and Martin K said he didn't have it but did have a couple of copies of "I'm gone" (if Pete Smith reading this - Pete this is the bloke you and I once visited - seem to remember he had some pretty decent stuff)

Are they all issues or demos ? A white demo TMG 501 will get you about £100.00 so would a white demo TMG 502
