OFFERS: Gwen & Ray: Build your house on a strong foundation (BB223A) / If it makes you feel good (BK223B) One of the rarest oldies around and one of the oldest rareity in terms of, this is a Mecca Record which has never turned up in the almost 45 years since first played. Condition isn’t mint; I don’t think any around are, coz the vinyl is such poor quality. I would rate this as VG looks and audio. There is some background audible surface hiss but not enough to override the vocals (which fortunately are quite prominent and loud), or the instrumentation. It is what it is; a MEGA RARE record which is impossible to find and especially in great condition. Of course also it has the all important authentic numbers in the run out groove which differentiates it from the boot: BB223A. & BK223B (Bootleg has different numbers) Video file available.

Cheers Andy, I’d love to do more, and will; life just keeps getting in the way! Lol.

Thanks to all for your support for the mag; much appreciated, always.

For Sale: Chuck Jackson: What’s with this loneliness: Kent (Horace’s) 6T8. (Pinkish colour) Forget the Stardust ‘reissue’ this is the Original 6T’s 13th Anniversary Special; Promotional Only release. This is mint minus; absolutely pristine. Very possibly the finest example around. I would grade as mint except that mint for me means unplayed; this has been played twice maximum! Just a few weeks ago on 19th December this sold for £335 on EBay. £300.

For Sale: Tracks to your mind Fanzine: New Jersey Special. £10. This is a 22 year old fanzine put together in 1995, following a trip to New Jersey where I interviewed Paul Kyser and Earl Morgan about Robby Lawson Burning Sensation, The Superlatives,The Superbs On Catamount, The Shalimars and Ronnie Goodson. It’s a bit dated but the facts hold up still and the stories herein were unknown before the publication of this fanzine, some 30 years after these records were made and a good 20 years after they were first played. Sales were so poor at the time that I lost hope and never followed it up with a further fanzine, despite having 100’s of hours worth of taped interviews to do many such fanzines. The appetite back then was for pics and label photos and discographies, not background stories. My instinct is that things have changed, and that a deeper understanding is now being sought. So I’ll try again......22 years on! Lol. Go on, take a chance; learn a few things about what’s behind records we all love, and keep yourself off the streets for an hour or two! What’s a tenner in 2018? Two or three pints in the pub if that; leaving you with what? A bigger belly, a broken New Years Resolution possibly, a full bladder and not a lot else!
