(As good as you're gonna get condition-wise) Gritty-edged double sided monster (whatever the feck that means LOL). Can't find IBW on you tube, just the dodgy flip to Black Wings and this version is 1000,000 times better! I've seen / had more copies of the Resist 45 than this; rare record and two great dancers.

That real-live bat was the most impressivest thing I've ever seen at any venue anytime, anywhere Phil. I know of promoters who strive and pull out most of the stops but that was in a completely different league and a masterstroke mate. I didn't care what bloody records I heard after that

They're 'all' the same Carl, trust me See you in a couple of weeks

Absolutely adore the Turks - you turn me on. Can't do the clip thing but Ty Karim - all at once Don & Juan - heartbreakin' truth Not many better, to my lugs anyway. Great thread btw

Was gonna mention Roy Wright. Still got mine thankfully, don't seem to see it much these days.

Don't even know whether he's in the market or not Nev, obviously. (Do know exactly what you mean about things getting lost in translation though - I thought that very thing when posting earlier on actually). Anecdotally, for what it's worth, I've dealt with him on several occasions in the past and my impression is that he's a genuinely nice bloke with a taste for quite rare records, with the means and will to feed it i. i.e. a complete b*stard

The frustration for me is that records like CODs and Combinations are essentially out of reach for us mere mortals; as Joan says, ultimately it comes down to money. Once upon a time, it could be argued, knowledge, commitment i.e. time spent and passion, contacts you'd built-up etc were bigger factors in the equation and it makes me a bit sad that those things are no longer the primary determinants of what you can and can't get your hands on. Maybe that's a tad rose-tinted on my part, I have previous in that respect for sure ... It's been said before that technology has changed the way collecting works forever and whether that's a good thing or not is a matter of conjecture. I guess we all get to know about pretty much anything major that comes to market these days. Some would say that means you can at least have a punt and I've certainly picked stuff up over the internet in recent years that I never, ever thought I'd own so swings n roundabouts. With stratospheric 45s like these though it makes me feel like a lottery winner who can't find the bloody ticket! Maybe I'm tragic and need to get out more. Absolutely none of my business of course but I really do hope that whoever wins them absolutely loves and treasures them, that they get em out every single day to look at and play and that the hairs prickle on their neck when they do. Not casting aspersions on anyone here, that's life; all's fair and all that and good luck to everyone who is realistically in the frame. If money was not an issue I'd be owning both of them. It is and issue though and it ain't gonna happen LOL. All I can say is, come the end of the week ... ... you lucky, lucky b*stard Bloody collecting, who started it anyway.

if I had enough floating around I'd pay really serious money for it. One of a couple of my 'own it before I snuff it' records, it's got absolutely everything IMHO

cheap as chips that Phil

aaaarrrgh! Had Intensions before but never t'other un. Hope you're both well mate

Been after these two a wee while. Drop me a PM cheers Phil

Never got down there nearly enough in recent years to be honest for various reasons but always loved it when I did. Cheers and the very best of luck to you lads whatever you decide to do; hope to see you out and about atb Phil
