They Sold A Million
Already agreed with what Kev said Pete, just that you get these rumours etc. The reason I said that is that I'm sure when I got my first copy, John Anderson had said that he had spoken to (presumably) Joe Welz and that it was pressed in much more of a multiple run than normal. Maybe I have that totally wrong and I'm willing to be corrected as always. Not taking away from what everyone has said, the fact that there is evidence (which I dont have to hand) that it hit the high end of the R&B chart, does this mean that whatever was at number one sold 1000 copies and Jimmy Mack in all his glory singing about his world being a bit high on the celcius scale sold maybe 300 copies, possibly giving him a number 7 spot on the chart. Was it really that cut-throat back then numbers wise. I don't know so I'm willing to throw the forum open and be shot down in flames. Humbly yours Steve

They Sold A Million
Kev, I do trust you. Not arguing Like I said originally, I don't know how many it originally sold Steve

They Sold A Million
Heard differently Kev but bow to your superior knowledge if Joey said that. Seems strange though that it should do "so well" by selling nothing. Best Steve

They Sold A Million
Really wish I could get my photographic memory working but its all out of film at the mo.... John Anderson at Soul Bowl had countless 45 Gold Discs hanging around (or just stuffed way) and I can't for the life of me remember what they were, needless to say they all related to massive sellers. Actually there was a Mel & Tim track (presume Backfield In Motion) and £Cowboys To Girls" but thats all I can remember at the moment. Jimmy Mack "My World Is On Fire" (Palmer) hit the high end R&B charts in the States. Don't know how many it sold but it must have been a fair few to do that. Best Steve

Bbc Documentary - The Joy Of Disco Bbc4 Friday 02/03/12 21.00
Question for Mr Dewhirst or any other knowledgable fellow who doesn't shy away from the commercial side of things. The guitar work in the clip that featured A Taste Of Honey was very very reminiscent of that in Babe Ruth's "Elusive". Was there a connection between the two? Answers on a postcard to.......... Steve.

Vickie Baines Ebay - Nice
Ive had the two at the same time. Had the demo and then one day walked into John Manships shop in Melton and he had an issue sat on the shelf along aith a Cecil Washington. Bought both of them for less than £100 (think it was£80). Sold the demo years ago and then let John have the issue to auction about three years ago. Great record as far as I'm concerned... the epitome of the Casino sound. Steve

Ann Perry On Theoda Thats The Way He Is
Ditto and as I'm working my way through the stuff to sell, there will be an original vinyl non rosette coming on the market along with a similar boot. So what prices are we talking about. Surely the boot is worth less than a tenner and the original....£200 or am I way off the mark. Honest answers please and you may get a bargain

Two Things I Never Knew About Tony Hester
Watch Yourself was booted. Met with Tony and Popcorn many years ago, they were both somewhat annoyed at the boot business but seemed to accept that it was going on. Shame really but at least Richard (Popcorn) got something out of the scene from John Anderson, Neil Rushton etc. Steve

Who Is Gonna Give Me The Best Deal?
Be careful now....James Dyson moved to Malaysia for one reason only. He wanted to expand his factory in Malmesbury to create more jobs and products (at his design centre). The council would not let him expand fearing he was moving too close to a green belt area. He had one option open to him... re-locate and it became clear that it was going to be much cheaper to re-locate to Malaysia. He does however, maintain his design centre at Malmesbury, along with the help-line call centre. For the record (45rpm of course ... ha) the hand dryer is known as the Air Blade. The fan is not a fan at all as it doesn't have a fan, it is in fact the Air Multiplier and finally the heater version of the Multiplier is the Dyson Hot which uses ceramic plates to create directional heat. Anybody want to buy one.... and if you don't want to spend £200 on a Dyson Hot, how about a UK copy of Frank Wilson "Do I Love You". See you in sales section By the way, I also do Panasonic Steve

Who Is Gonna Give Me The Best Deal?
You're spot on Bob. Most of the big dealers would say value your collection and then take 50% off. Then another percentage to allow for the 45's that sit on the shelves as duplicates for ages because nobody wants them. So if, for example, Cookie's collection is worth £50k, a realistic buy price would be £18 - 22k for a dealer, depending on condition and, dare I say it, the dregs in the collection that nobody wants.
