Dream senario that one ted, this was when searling was still playing it at wigan, never saw an issue for many years after did many of those turn up?

Used to get loads of stick from the york crowd for spending loads of money on these records, think the qoutes were they`ll get booted n loose there value you must be mad, MY OH MY HOW WRONG THEY WERE, n what are they all buying now ! BUY OLDIES HARRY THEY DON`T LOSE THERE VALUE

I was well fed up when dave raistrick had a copy of larry clinton for 115 quid, n i only had 110 quid with me by the time i`d scrabbled round for a fiver he`d sold it DOH!

Got kids this weekend mate, but hey got me driving test on 27th so will be down for defo, Back to thread didnt nolan chance on bunky sell for a lot of money back then?

Good thread this one trev how ya doing matey? had a long weekend in york getting over it now though saw tony/tracy sat at junction, shoulda seen patto

The ultimate tail of embarresment, new nothing about frank wilson back then, still thought it was eddie foster, looking through jonathan woodliffe`s sales box at wigan pulled out frank wilson asked how much, he just said four mate, so i passed him a five pound note, promptly got back NO MATE FOUR HUNDRED on wich i promptly dissapeared into the shadows curled up n died

I paid 100 quid for vickie baines in 79/80 off searling, then week after bought cecil washington off colly from selby for eighty qiud, back to vickie baines the week after buying it went into the record bar at wigan used to buy all my records off dave withers so allways looked through his box first, first five records all vickie baines all photo copies, my arse twitched slightly

Those were the days eh, was at wigan ron pedley was talking to a lad who offered him frankie beverly on fairmount for twenty quid,ronnie asked him to bring it the week after for him, only problem was week after ron was barbed, n when the kid took him the record ron told him to get f****ked along with other barb fillied abuse He was sick when i told him what he`d done though.

Same as me mate, first heard it at clifton hall rotherham got one then, then got rid, been looking for it for about two years now, an old mate phoned me this morning n sold me his think he`s skint for xmas

Looking for a copy of MARVELLOUS RAY-WHIRLPOOL-ABNER THANKS HARRY

Thats what i was told but there was no indication of this on the label, was told later it was just a plant error where the middle hadn`been pushed out in manufacture, but as i said in a earlier reply would they put the label on before pushing the middle out?

Nice one ha ha think me mams still using my old uns for kitchen curtains

Probably right there dave, i also thought although a great record JUDY FREEMANS HOLD ON was a bit of an odd ball at the time.

There were a few wern`t there KING ERRISON-ZOLA, Dare i say MICKEY MOUSE CONCERTO IN B FLAT, feel a bit ashamed to have remembered that one

TOTALLY AGREE JUST NEARLY CHOKED ON ME YORKSHIRE PUDDINS HA HA TOP MATE

Wasn`t there also a version of the velours i`m gonna change on that label if i remember it was IMO awful

Wasn`t the gerri thomas the one when they first played it almost impossible to aquire without waterdamage on label ?

Was it covered as little carl carlton?

Many thanks guys for all your info on the inspirations track, as i said earlier don`t know where i got it from, good old carling lager!

Totally agree great record, first time i`ve heard this version though, can`t even remember where i got it from,HMMMM STRANGE
