After having both versions side by side here is what I posted on Discogs Be careful - there are two versions of this LP. They look totally identical - label and sleeve, track listing etc. but one copy has a slow version of the Sadie Sadie track and one has a fast version. The fast version is the one that is getting played. I've had both - here is how to tell Run out groove numbers: 'S-9014A' = slow version 'S-9014A(-2)' = fast version.

Thanks - I found it on Discogs. mystery solved

Blank

I found a White label single sided 7” single of:- Collins & Collins - ‘Back by popular demand’ I can’t find any sign of it being released. It sounds a bit Motorcity/ Ian Levine production. Does anyone know the origins of this track and this dubious looking 45?

A registered delivery parcel I posted to Japan on March 28th arrived today!!!! That’s 76 days!!

Thanks - I just saw it below- doh

ignore - found it Hi Could anyone tell me what Roy Roberts - I know what to so to satisfy you - TINA sold for please

I’ve listened to both Cressa and Martha and yes deffo the same vocal. The Cressa is clearly a badly edited copy of Martha with a clear chop at about 1:20 in removing the 30 second instrumental break. Martha is almost 3 mins, ‘Cressa’ is about 30 sec shorter

I always send 12” or LPs with two stiffeners with the record taped into the stiffeners. For cheaper items I use the self sealing envelope mailers and for more expensive items I use the full cruciform - both from Sounds Wholesale (I cut my own stiffeners tho’ from boxes and pallet trays found in Costco) VERY expensive 7s go in full 7” cruci with stiffeners INSIDE a 12” cruci with stiffeners. Pretty much bullet proof unless it gets run over like the infamous Don Gardner - Cheatin’ Kind that Mr Manship had the mis-fortune to post I have NEVER had an item get broken in the post (touch wood).
