So the ridged label is a sign of an original? That's the kind of information the buying public need!

His feedback is good, but it just looks too damn new!

I was asking about this in another thread. He seems to be selling the slowed down version, reading between the lines in his description as he's got a normal speed and slowed down soundfile...

No opinions? Think I'll just give it a body swerve all the same...

Born Under a Bad Sign by Albert King (or maybe Homer Simpson) and I'm also a Gemini

Now here is a perfect example of how a producer can mess it all up... https://video.google.com/videosearch?q=more...;emb=0&aq=f#

Here we go again...is this a genuine copy? Looks very new and I am told that there are many boots about in the white demo form. Opinions? https://cgi.ebay.com/MIKE-PEDICIN-BURNT-TOA...id=p3286.c0.m14

How accurate are Monarch records delta numbers when it comes to dating a record? And were pressing dates from the factory and release dates by record companies sometimes months if not years apart? It's just that a couple of 45s I own seem to have been made earlier than any release date that I've seen.

Can we get Stephen Hawking to explain how a hour of modern tunes often seems to last over three hours whereas the same time span of RnB tunes only seems to last 10 mins??

Why would London release a record in the UK that hadn't been a US release - let alone a US hit? To cash in on the UK blues boom in the 60s?

Are the Tommy Tucker and Syng McGowan sale prices bargains, OTT or average?

There's a Sonny Boy Williamson in Ebay https://cgi.ebay.com/Sonny-Boy-Williamson-H...id=p3286.c0.m14 Otis Rush 45s seem to be hard to get - took me ages to find All Your Love and even longer to get Homework.

I think Guy Hennigan is still in a state of shock over seeing the folk who couldn't get on the dancefloor actually dancing on the tables around the room. Love to see footage of that. It was a great time - when Fife was one of the UK's centres of soul!

I'm eagerly awaiting jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell's biography where they discuss his owning one of only two copies of 'Do I Love You'...

Remember it well...Kennoway is in deepest, darkest Fife and the coach driver kept saying "I'm not sure where we are, I haven't been to Fife since the war!" - and we were coming all the way from Edinburgh...

What about Ray Stevens? Certainly 'Bridget the Midget' is about a - rather small - soul singer, and 'Ahab the Arab' with his camel named after Clyde McPhatter. 'Gitarzan' is quite amusing too - "Let's hear it for the monkey!"

What about the first record I ever bought with my 10p pocket money in 1974: 'Please Mr Custer'...well I was only nine! And is it true that Peter Gabriel out of Genesis was Charlie Drake's record producer?

Ah Kenny Burrell the guitar great! Just as well I'm not your editor - you better do some more in-depth research next time Terry. Still not as bad as the girl I worked with who edited a piece about David PLEAT'S kerb-crawling charge and changed his name in each instance to David PLATT.

Here we go...

Have a book which has got a pic of Alan Freed at an R'n'B show in the 50s with a two-deck set-up which looks not a million miles away from what DJs use today. If I can get the scanner to work I may put it up!

Oh great, now we're all going to have 'Last Played Clip': Footsee; Wigan's Chosen Few!!!!

You also get a lot of 'auto-hate' without any real consideration of a tune's individual merits - i.e. "It's RnB crap", "It's 100mph stomper crap", "It's blue-eyed soul crap", "It's beat ballad crap", "It's Wigan crap" The list could go on! And I should say that I would bet most people have been guilty of this at one time or another...I know I have
