A played out oldie then?

As Neil said earlier, these were quite cheap as bulk buys and a lot of London record shops had multiple stock and were selling them individually from between 50p and £1

Thought it was, will have a check. Its in storage, so will be at the wekend

I think my US demo's vinyl and my US issue's styrene. Are these Jamaican issues vinyl or styrene?

get both

He still does have some hiccups, but most of the time he's spot on. I bought a record from him a few years ago, it was marked as VG+ and the picture and sound clip were both really clean. When the record arrived the label was marked and there were lots of marks on the wax that affected play. Contacted them, they apologised and offered me a full refund or replacement. As they admitted that it was their error on the grading, they refunded my return postage, which I think was fair. Sadly that’s not the case with a lot, but not all record sellers.

Regarding Wilson Love I think Moerer has some and the ebay seller cannedmusic2011 had/has multiple stock as well as others such as Sandra Wright Midnight Affair. They were selling it as low as around £100, but it looks like as their stock is drying up so they've been incresing the price. They've got mint copies of Wilson Love for a buy it now for $250. Irrespective of JM's reputation, cannedmusic2011 is a long standing highly rated seller, so why would someone spend £386 on a record when you can get it for around £160 + import duty - Sheer madness

But it's the second pressing if it, which I thought was about a ton

The Eddie Hinton Dear Y’all CD has a secret track at the end. There’s just under 2 mins of him being interviewed and was asked about his work and what he was most proud of and how he was a fan Mavis Staples.

Unless its marked M-, irrespective of where the seller is located I now always ask, if there are any pops, crackles or marks that affect playback quality of the record. That way hopefully they're answer honestly and for me in most cases that's been the case.

Are there any Parkers you would travel to hear Steve or do you just hate the surname?

The west coast demo's of Oliver Bush look like issues except for the silver text "Promotional Copy"

That’s what I've been noticing more and more when reading playlists posted here and on facebook. People are singing the praises of OVO sets that contain very expensive records and I have nothing against people owning and playing expensive records. But they do seem to be the same ones played over and over again.

Andy Davies (Andyd on here and old Soul Bowl employee), plays percussion in the group

Was defiantly a retrospective release, as there were quite a few miffed people (including me) who’d been playing it from the LP as at the time the LP was in-demand and quite tough to find. Also, UK Portrait changed from a grey to a black label in the early 80s. Sly and the Family Stone’s Family Affair/Dance To the Music and Barbara Dickson’s Caravan Song originally UK Epic releases also got re-released on black portrait as well around the same time.

That was reissued in the mid 80's on both a 7" and 12" after it was being played by the likes of Norman Jay. Is the 7" an edit or is it the same length as the original LP version?

It was a fine example of how much quality was released on major labels

Always thought it was a nothing tune. Now its up for auction, I think its FANTASTIC......

With financial regulators clamping down more and more on the back of money laundering concerns, financial institutions are performing a significant amount of data mining on their accounts. The highlighting of large volumes of F/F payments on paypal accounts is probably a by-product of that process, so I wouldn’t be surprised if more people get a mail.

A while back I recieved a package and on the customs docket it stated 7" Single Nicky Newarkers - Woman, I was a bit shocked when I saw it.

I'd buy it. "Head Games" is a big boogie tune, but for me its the slow flip that i'm after. The B-side "No Way" is an earler/different version of "Ain't No Way", which was the A-Side of their next single release, the other side being "Can't Let Go".

That is a seriously rare record and doesn't turn up. I thought I put in "a serious" bid a couple of years ago, but that was blown out the water.

Les Fisher's early spots were fantastic, he always dug out some surprises. It's a shame those late 80's London nights, seem not to get the recognition they really derserved as some great music was played. I also picked up some really nice bits there. I also have a fond memories of Ivor head bobbing up and down, when playing Jessie Henderson.

Yes, unless your a 7" obsessive, get the 12" its the better version and cheaper.

Also the one with no address and horns has Glad I Found You is the Official A-Side, whereas on the version without and the address, Glad I Found You is the B-side.
