Any Bb Holes In Boots?
As does the WD boot of Walter Jackson - Where Have All The Flowers Gone. I can't recall any boots that have been holed, but as Pete says he's seen some, they must out there. Although I know what the hole is for, why are they called "BB" holes - I'm sure it's obvious, but can't work it out. (it took me many years to find out what c/w and b/w actually stood for, probably as late as 1980 before it finally dawned on me, so I was simply years behind on that. A small digression, but I still haven't got a clue what "sic" means. Seen it a lot in listings etc. is it something to do with a sticker mark ? Cheers Mick

'my Love Is Gone' Shadows
Just seen a White Demo on USA very recently (John Manship or Pat Brady, someone like that) - Don't recall seeing one before, although they are probably out there. Cheers Mick

Rueben Howell Label Scan
Plus two different demos. One with A side (when you take a chance ...) and one as a reserviceable double B side (Can't Stop A Man ...)

The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
Yes I did, Maybe they couldn't find a decent period pic of Frank Wilson (other than nicking one from the net)
-
The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
Yes Mark - this was an early (and wrong) suggestion that the numbers held the key. It became apparent a few hours after, that the numbering had nothing to do with it. You simply have to open them and hope for the best. Cheers Mick

The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
Why not open it - might be full of Marvin Gaye / Spinners
-
The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
The missing record is actually Marvin Gaye / Spinners (my mistake in saying Originals the earlier post) Seems it's the same packing error that keeps occuring. I'm sure to offset this, there will be an equal amount of packs with 2 x Marvin and no B. Mcnair surfacing soon. If that has already happened to anyone yet, let us know. Cheers Mick
-
The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
Might be there's no way to tell, especially if they were packed at a different stage to being numbered. I suspect for every pack with 2 x Barbara McNair, there is a pack with 2 x Originals/Marvin in it - might have to organise a swap centre when the dust settles. Just tried to get a replacement and it's not available anymore, only a refund - Dilema.
-
The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
It appears the high numbers (1800 +) are the "defective" packs, whereas the low numbers (100+) are all OK. Unfortunately that leaves a whole bunch that are either good or bad
-
The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
Just received 2 sets today - one set is all correct with the seven different records, but the other set has Marvin Gaye missing and 2 x B McNair. Is it possible to send just the one pack back to Amazon, or do I have to send both packs back and hope the replacements are both correct.? Cheers Mick

Own Your Own Record Shop
I think it's the same place in Hanway Street, if so this was "Rocks Off". Remember going in there a few times about 30 years ago and dropping records off for the guy to sell. (Think the chaps name was Stan). Cheers Mick

Has Sandy Golden On Masterpiece Been Booted?
John, The SOS boot of the Vibrations - Cause You're Mine, had the writing credit down as J. Manship and someone else. Maybe that's what you're thinking of. Cheers Mick

What Would Have Happened If This Had Been A Hit
A similar scenario could have arisen with the Grapevine releases of Diane Renay - "Can't Help Lovin' that Man", and Construction "Hey Little Way Out Girl", both issued as the cover-up artists. I don't know about the former's sales, but I'm sure the latter sold more than a few at the time. If it had made the charts, would Top Of The Pops have searched for archive footage (if they could find any) of the Del Capris and aired it on TV. And just like Lorraine, any band members would have wondered what was going on. Cheers Mick

Magnetics Bootleg Why So Dear ? Please Explain
Yeah, just tried changed one in turbo lister just to see for myself, and it says £50.00 minimum. That one passed me by
-
Magnetics Bootleg Why So Dear ? Please Explain
John, are you saying to list on eBay with a minimum bid, the reserve has to be £50 or more ? If so, when the hell did that start ? The last time I had any kind of reserve on anything was a good many years ago, and although there would have been records with higher reserve than that, there would most definately have been much lower reserves on lesser items. Glad I don't do reserves, either start it at what I want for it, or take a chance. Cheers Mick

Gemm Having Financial Problems ?
That's about right - Initially they would pay 3 or 4 days after the first email. Around September last year, they were about 2 to 3 weeks behind due to (they said) relocating their base, and in recent months that has now been extended to 6 or 8 weeks, as you pointed out. I learned of this last year through Musicstack forums, couldn't get anything from Gemm directly. At present I think they only owe me two payments (possibly only one) as I tend now to use Gemmpay to buy stuff so I can use the money straight away from my account. It is rare that I let the cash be allocated to me, and If I do it is by accident. Although they gave a reason for the initial delay, I have no idea why there is still a delay, a delay that has more than doubled in timescale - must take a long time to move a handful of PC's / servers. Cheers Mick
