Thanks Mike, I will keep looking at the event guide. Seems to be an area short of advertised events.

Gonna be travelling to the UK early May 2025. Wondering if there are any events on in that area. Any info appreciated thanks. Sue.

Would like a nice one of these with birth sleeve if possible please. Condition fine if its VG++ or better. Black and colours USA label. Please let me know shipped to a UK address. Thanks, Sue.

Eventually sold the Nolan Chance to a UK collector. The others I kept for my collection. The store in question is still there and as far as I know still has over 30,000 singles to be sorted through. I live in Spain now so probably no chance I will ever get back to have a sort through. I guess they will languish there forever. No regrets though, I managed to find a few goodies.

Yes thanks for that Jacko, much appreciated mate.

I told my story on SS a number of years ago now about how I discovered the ultra rare Nolan Chance on Bunky in Australia. I would like to retrieve the write up for a new book being published in Australia by Johnny Redpants. Sadly I never had a hard copy. Anyone please tell me how to find it, I have tried many avenues, maybe I´m not so good on computers. Many thanks, Tony.

I have a demo of this, its black print on a white background, was it released legally in this format? Also have the red print on a light cream label which I bought as an original. Any help, advice appreciated thanks. Apologies if its been covered before.

Never seen one of these, just wondering did they ever do it on promo? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Why is the Despenza spelling of the artist different to the Wand version, was it a spelling mistake that was never picked up at the time. Any info appreciated thanks.

Thanks very much, but can someone please send me the full version, if its not breaking any site rules. I want to add it to my hard drive. Sue.

Sold my copy of Emmitt Long a few years ago and never ever played the B side youre puzzling me. A few mates are now telling me I should have played it out. How can I get to hear this as seems nothing on the YT or anywhere else. Does it get played out ´by anyone now? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Will be flying to Huntingdon in the U.K. for our young blokes 40th bash on Saturday 22nd July. Will have a box of records with me, anyone have a gig on the Friday 21st and need a guest deejay. As they say, if you don´t ask, you don´t get. Happy to travel within a reasonable distance of Cambridgeshire, will need to book accommodation. Thanks, Tony T Bone.

The white label as I stated in the thread please. as most are this one on Popsike. B side is This is goodbye.

Looking for a nice clean copy of this on white M-Pac label. Looking at previous prices on popsike it has sold for 30 to 40 pounds, albeit a few years ago so may have gone up by now. If you have one for sale please PM only with condition and a price shipped to a U.K. address. Thanks, Tony.

Just how rare is the Chartbound 45' as you hardly if ever see one for sale and there is no clip from anyone on you tube? Cracking tune IMB and needs playing out more IMO. Any info appreciated, thanks.

Looks like this unreleased track appears on quite a few 'unofficial 45 releases' Is there any of them classed as 'official' on the scene? Thanks for any info.

Is this track on his album 'the kindred soul of Danny Wagner' an album only track?? Shame if it didn't come out on a 45. Cheers for any info.

Hi, Looking for a nice clean one of these Canadian RCA demos, if you have one please let me have a price and condition, delivered to the U.K. P.M. only please. Thanks, Tony.

I have some really fond memories of ferreting in record shops and second hand shops while living in Australia. The best find was the unplayed copy of Nolan Chance on Bunky. Spent 12 weeks over there recently and every weekend i traveled back to those old haunts to see just what i missed the last time around. It was amazing to find all the records were still there in the boxes as i left them.....untouched and unsorted for over 35 years. There were over 20,000 singles to go through in the upstairs attic of one shop alone, most of them in mint nick. The owner said spend as much time as you want so weekends later i came away with over 300 real beauties. Here are a few, San Remo Strings, I'm satisfied, ric tic, Barbara Mason, if you knew him like i do, NGC, Ronnie Williams, no sin to lie, roxbury, Willie Hightower, because i love you, capitol, Cliff Nobles, the horse, direction, Bobby Bland, if i don't get involved, mala, Triumphs, joust about, swan promo (with "reversion clause") stamped on label, Frederick Knight, lean on me, stax, The Seeds, try to understand, crescendo, Lillian Briggs, boogie blues, epic promo, Bill Black, closin' time, hi, Four Tops, yesterdays dreams, pink motown new Zealand, Deon Jackson, love takes a long time growing, atlantic, Len Barry, like a baby, brunswick, Mel Torme, comin' home, London, April Stevens, wanting you, mgm, Bill Cosby, little ole'man, warner bros, Lynne Randell, thats a hoe down, cbs, Bobby Hebb, bread/sunny, phillips, Jerry Butler, aware of love, top rank, Freda Payne, he's in my life, invictus promo ( never heard this one before i found it), Inez Foxx, Mockingbird, peak, Dooley Silverspoon, let me be the number one, seville, Len Barry, it's that time of year, festival, Len Barry, it's a crying shame, festival, Doug Parkinson, soon as your thing is done, SRS (still only a handful of copies known to still exist), Flirtations, little darling i need you. Plus a whole load of Motown all in mint nick, and many many more too many to list all of them. We stopped in Athens on the way back to Kefalonia and visited a couple of record shops. There are literally hundreds of thousands of records there, many of them on the flea markets and all nice and cheap too. One shop had a basement dedicated to soul albums only and there were some amazing rare things down there. Greece is an untouched area as far as records go and we will be back there asap to do some more ferreting around. Picked up a mint Carla Thomas, the puppet on Atlantic among others. They are still out there, it's just a matter of time if you have it to spare. Happy hunting!!! T Bone.

How can you come up with that assumption when you have no idea what my reserve was ??

It didn't quite reach my reserve Steve so the 45 came back into my collection. Yes there was a lot of hype and quite rightly so. It was a very important find and hopefully will eventually go to someone who will cherish owning it as much as i do. Keep an eye on the sales section !!

Dead right Bob, probably the biggest story and most important find in the last 20 years. I still have the record and might be tempted to put it up for sale once the book is released. So much mystique surrounding the 45 and a true collectors piece that can only increase in value. Tony. OZ.

Hi Kris, there was the full story on here late last year mate. Just tap it in and have a read, Tony.

Hi Nicola, hopefully you managed to grab the story of ' HOW I FOUND THE NOLAN CHANCE ON BUNKY ' from the thread on here last year. Looking forward to reading the book. A.T.B. Tony. OZ.

Sad news indeed John. Can't see the logic behind their thinking. Sue and i had a great time last year and it looked like the holiday camp made a small fortune, after all who else will be there out of season ?? Oh well mate onward and upward as they say. Good luck finding a new venue. Hope to see you in the U.K. in September. Tony and Sue. OZ.
