Looking for a decent playing copy of this LP Get in touch if you have one youre looking to move on. Thanks

VG+ issue of The Dramatics - All Because Of You My old play copy - Does have some surface marks but plays brilliant on both sides Looking for £115 Price includes postage

Was really gutted to hear this, brilliant artist who's often overlooked by loads of people especially in the UK due to his big hit. There was a thread not too long ago discussing him where people were posting all sorts of great underplayed sounds of his - when I checked at the time that thread was floating about he was still touring which is possibly the saddest thing) Here is one I like and play from time to time which was also done by Major Lance but this is the superior version...

Looking to move on this brilliant obscure Stafford gem in EX condition, some very minimal cosmetic darker patches of discolouration on the label which do not distract what so ever along with with an immaculate playing surface. Last one sold on Manship for £570 - Looking for £500 or nearest offer. Happy to supply audio/video playback and images for anyone who may be interested.

Tim Ashibende played it both times he did the 100 club a few months ago when he did the consecutive bookings.

Ex condition NM player Was £450 reduced to £400 Feel free to contact me to request audio / images or video.

I was wondering if anyone had the where/when/who played this out first in the UK?

I have a copy of Rod Dearlove’s detroits collectors guide that might be of interest to some people who may have not seen that before, definitely worthy of a digital version

This was why I actually put the request out… if anybody else has any other fanzines feel free to share in here.

Thanks Chalky!

That would be ace Chalky! Could you re: here once you’ve gotten round to that and share them in the thread?

Funny you’ve mentioned that… I’ve said this to friends already but I’m expecting people to start using it to generate alternate versions with different vocalists and pressing them up

Does anybody have scans of this or a copy they can upload images of? I've found a few photos online of the articles but would love to have a look at what else was in it.

Think some do get caught up in looking and dancing like they’re from a specific point in the history of the scene rather than just enjoying it for what it is.

I beg to differ, this take sounds so much better and more interesting. Especially when hearing it over a decent sound system. Another great example of this is the Lou Johnson's take of The Panic Is On... A much more sparse and spacey production which sounds infinitely better when played by through proper means.

Wondering if anybody knew who is singing on this track that was uploaded yesterday? Has some incredible instrumentation and arrangement, especially the faster crossover uplifts not to mention the singing... Even if it is about Christmas, it's a great piece of music that i'd like to hear more about / hear more by the vocalist.

I actually don't reckon AI will ever have the capacity to challenge authentic creativity... Saw something the other day that people have already noticed when brands are using AI generated advertisement & already initially think that the company can't / won't be great and is a reflection of their business practices in general because they are too cheap to pay for an actual designer. I genuinely think it'll be seen as a novelty fad within the creative sectors. I just can't see AI being able to even begin to replicate, never mind synthesise something like Love Was So Easy by Sidney Barnes on Sids Kids. Not even due to the usual comments of lived experience etc. I just see AI being something which will benefit lots of systems within various industries that will hopefully free up a lot of monotonous day to day stuff within businesses. The less of it we see and hear on the scene, the better.

Wondered what people's thoughts on this might be...
