Looking for a copy of this at the right price for a friend. The less expensive of the labels would be ideal. Cheers. Mick.

Have PM'd you Picky. Cheers.

I'm also after I'm A Devil foi. Agree about it being obscure but both JM and TB only have it at £30 or £40 - not that it matters what they think! Definitely played in the late 70's, first by Soul Sam as far as I recall. I bought my original copy, which was also clean and hiss free, for no more than £10.

Some bits & bobs for sale.

Hi Neal If you still have the Billy Jones I will have it. PM me details. Cheers. Mick

Andy Mick Howard here mate. I'm just off the phone with Mark Bicknell & assume that its your copy that he has agreed to buy from you. If so, then he apologises because he is having trouble with his PC which means he has been unable to PayPal the money. He still wants the tune if you're prepared to wait until he's back on line but it might be a few days yet (talk of routers and the like) but if you've sold it then never mind. Will PM you on FB too. All the best Mick

Pete Didn't know it was shown 4 weeks ago - assume then it was shown as part of the Reggae Brittania week which is strange as I don't recall seeing this in the line-up (must have missed it somehow). It's logical to assume thats when it was recorded for the DVD I've been given. Anyway, to your other point about its original showing - I sort of agree with you because my recollection of OGTW is as a showcase for rock - the first time I ever saw any reggae artist on it was when the (original) Wailers came on and did Stir It Up which certainly was after the Edinburgh show. Nice to see it after all these years though. Mick

I have just watched a 'lost' episode of The Old Grey Whistle Test featuring a whole reggae concert filmed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1973. Featured artists included Nicky Thomas, The Pioneers (who oddly did Soul covers), Denis Alcapone and The Cimarons, Winston Groovy, The Marvels & Malaka and hosted by none other that the big fella himself Judge Dread. Has anyone else seen this, does anyone remember it airing and more importantly was anyone on here at the 'gig'? Mick

Again thanks Pete Mick

Cheers Pete Don't have it actually but someone I know has one that I'm interested in. Mick

Anyone give me a ball park figure for the following please Don't Call Me Daddy - Derrick Morgan - UK Ska Beat Ten Commandments - Prince Buster - US Phillips Big Five/Musical College - Prince Buster - UK? Prince Buster Cheers Mick

Anyone got a ball park figure for this on original UK red/white Island? Cheers Mick

Not sure if I dreamt it but I'm sure someone (Mick H perhaps) played an alternative version of the Lee Garrett/Preludes Harthon tune at Lifeline a couple of weeks ago - if I didn't dream it can anyone tell me what it was? Cheers Mick

He regularly gigs over here & has done for years. I also saw him a few years ago (maybe on the same tour as you Pete) up here in Scotland & he wasn't late. He was in fact the consumate professional & I enjoyed it immensly. Disappointing as it no doubt was, there might have been underlying reasons for him having to do the radio interview (maybe it was contracted, maybe he was wrongly advised, maybe, maybe....) on that day. People shouldn't be judged unless ALL the facts are known - people are wrongly hung for stuff like that..... Mick
