CR Jr came from John Anderson I think I recall Shaun telling me. Mostly 'oldies' sixties wise for sure but can recall Marsha Gee, pyramid and a handful of other bits which weren't at the time. Really enjoyed the more modern side of Morecambe when I went but for me Stafford was a complete game changer musically.

Everything possible crossed for you mate x

Got to pay for other things so these three up for grabs. Willie Kendrick - change your ways (RCA w/d) immaculate!!!! £300 You won't see a cleaner copy and both sides awesome of course Luther Ingram - all the same / exus trek (HIB green vinyl) vg++ £300 Some label fade (looks like feint water mark actually) vinyl is as clean as I've seen; just a couple of very, light marks Lorraine Chandler - can't hold on (RCA w/d) £120 ON HOLD More pounding Pied Piper magic! WBBZ stamped and date written on label in red biro. Looks like a small sticker has been removed at some point too but nothing too orrible at all. VG+ is way too conservative really but I'll err on the safe side. You won't be disappointed at all at that! cheers Phil

Can't help with new inners Mark I'm afraid, would like some myself if anyone knows where to get em. For 'outsize' acetates I use LP inners and mailers, cut to size across top and down one side and then re-tape em into an envelope / sleeve. Couple of packers cut to size popped in for good measure and jobs a good un. Bit crude but it keeps em safe. Enjoyed the book mate

Remember you playing this down the phone Franc, blew me away! Found a reissue Cd which, needless to say, doesn't satisfy lol

Toni W clears floors now we're old farts lol

It sounded better with Carl on backing vocals Steve. See you August mate I hope

Carl, we're hugely reassured by your steadying influence mate; we're in safe hands with you at the helm. It's a winning formula!

Yep, helpless laughing

Thanks Carl, absolutely top drawer. Frank foster, f*ck me! On the other matter, as I recall, "shaken not stirred" was the phrase when you showed it me. Terrible behaviour (and that's without mentioning the vocal accompaniment, 'live', to George Lemons). Absolutely pmsl
