'Ton of Dynamite'..what is this?
Just got the link to work (link is fine, it was me). Yep, that's the one. I used to have an Eddie Regan H&S that was just un punched. Still got a few like it now.

'Ton of Dynamite'..what is this?
Can't use the link, but could be the US release without the middle being knocked ouy. It happened a lot with just about anything New York. (we always called then New York presses, but there may have been similar occurances in other places) I know Richard had TOD in that format.

Aurora was spelt wrong on the plain grey copies. something like Arora, or Aruora. Also record was booted on plain white OOPT

Brilliant. Love it / them.

No Kev, do you?

seen it all now (or have we)
I just wonder if this wasn't a well crafted script the two people did, just to make a funny video. If that is the case (just an impression), I think it's brilliant. However, if these two are really looking for records, then I wonder if they asked the flight attendant on the flight over, if they had the airplane song. "Or owt" "No ??" "Bet Arthur Fenn's grabbed 'em on the last flight" Either way, great to watch.

Marice Williams.AGAIN
Hmm, as you pointed out, the Nashville Matrix does looks wrong on closer inspection. It's also in the wrong place relative to the runout, so I'm not so sure now.

Marice Williams.AGAIN
Don't know about the seller, but the record is real. Hard to tell from the first image, but the Nashville Matrix is clearly shown on the third image, as is the Gold tint to the text. Actually, as Chalky pointed out, the Nashville Matrix looks wrong on closer inspection. It's also in the wrong place relative to the runout, so I'm not so sure now. Cheers Mick

Sweet Things - I'm In A World Of Trouble - Date bootleg?
To be honest that looks like a hand printed label stuck on the record. maybe because orig label was damaged, or maybe it's a soultown copy underneath. Whoever did the label used a Date blank and only changed some info, using different typeface etc. The 45 RPM / ZSP150490 / 2:05 and the Arranged . . . etc. are unchanged from a different record (was the Steelers mentioned ?), whereas the rest of the text is a new typeface (you can see the difference in the Van McCoys).

Sweet Things - I'm In A World Of Trouble - Date bootleg?
30 seconds difference, and a different ZSP number.

Audibly off centre. What does that actually mean?
Just means the middle has been punched out off centre (as per the record in the link) - to play it you'd have to align it yourself each time, or make a new middle to centre it up yourself

Any Help in identifying this?
I only remember "the crisis has yet to come", I see it is the other side (of Paulette)

Early 80's Boogie/Soul Track To Identify Please
Sounds a bit like an 80's Solar track, someone like the Whispers - maybe it's an LP track by them.

marvelettes question
All demos are this way - It was released as the correct titles on the labels (Reaching / Here .. ). It's just the demos that have the wrong record in the groove

Ronnie & Robyn
To answer the other half of your question, the pink copies were bootlegs.

Jimmy Delphs - Almost - Label Variations
I used to have an ATCO copy, but I think it may have been Canadian. Gave it to John Pugh many years ago as it was one title he was trying to collect all the label variations on.

Bill Brown - Apple Tree - Demo
Looking for a copy of the Bill Brown / Soul Injection demo of "Love Under The Apple Tree". I missed it on when they were released a couple of weeks ago at £20.00 Quite happy to pay a bit more if someone has a spare, maybe £30 (Is that reasonable ?) Cheers Mick

pva glue record upgrade or scrapping
I've also used this method many times and once you get the hang of it (ie. leave for 24, or even 48 hours, and make sure the covering is 100 percent on the play area - into the runout but not up to the label, and right up to the outer edge), then it works great. It should look like the picture from Russ. Solid white / cream when it is wet, and going clear when it begins to set. See about 3 o'clock on the One-Derful record. If, after a long time you still see a single spec of white, don't touch it, just wait until it is fully clear. When done, gently tease off a start on the outer edge and it should peel off. If it flakes and little bits stay on the record, just recoat it and the flakes will bond with the fresh glue. Remember, this is a deep clean method, it won't repair damaged records. Cheers Mick

Songs That Use Same Arrangement /backing Track
Did a re-edit of Dante for Soul Sam a few years back, but never clocked the Curtis song. Really like it.

There are a few of the 5531 without "The Mirettes" printed on the label, but most are printed correctly.
