IT DOES!! (I don't think this is the worst either. Plenty more ahead of it in the queue - Dalton James & Sutton is also in the mix) -
It must be just me that likes it then!! "Blue Max" Millward played it at the Catacombs. I bought his copy from the Cats (on 20th May 1980!) in my quest for "something different", that still continues to this day. Admittedly, by that stage, most of Max's old collection had been well and truly picked over with the remainder not being the best. (p.s. I also have a Demo with a picture cover)

Mr Dyson had been booked for the event we had to cancel and will no doubt be on in 2025)

Still looking for Major Lance - Monkey Time - UK Columbia Demo, Please (I think you lot are just being cruel now, keeping me waiting for so long!!)

We look forward to seeing you. It really is a great venue (I know EVERYBODY says that about their event!!). Smart and clean with an "in-house" speaker system. Also, the venue provide a Sound Engineer. He sits at the back with a mixing desk to keep things as they should be. Here's a photo of things being set up prior to opening time.

Hi, thanks for considering our event. With regard to music policy, the intention is for the Djs selected to play a WIDE range of styles. This is in the "spirit" of Lea Manor. So, there will be "Rare and Under Played" 60's tunes. I'm sure all the DJs, and particularly Andy Dennison Ted Massey @Ted Massey have the experience and records to fit the bill. A few "Oldies" may be played, but not the tired, "same old, same old". So, it's "Yes" to Crossover, 60's, Rare and "Rarely Played" and loads of other categories. But it wont be a night full of oldies. Kev Spittle records the sets "live" and posts them on his Mixcloud account. Most of the DJ sets to date have been posted which you can check out. Feel free to give my set from March a pass as I did include more oldies, but this was just get things going!! Here's Arthur Fenn's set from March 2024

I've had the following update from Kev S: - Just over a week to Lea Manor The Renaissance and things are all coming together. All the DJs are confirmed and ready. We're looking forward to catching up with Ted Massey, and Andy Dennison, and listening to what they have to bring to the decks for your enjoyment. Listened to Natalie Nicholls, a few times of late and she always brings something different. Mr + Mrs Wood, its been a while, but always a pleasure to catch up and listen to you both, be great to have you both back behind the decks.. You can still take advantage of the £7.00 advanced purchase. It's £8 on the night. Fantastic dance floor and sound system as usual at this fantastic, smart venue. Regards, the Renaissance Team

I think as time goes by there are lots of variations and anomalies that come to light. Personally, I wouldn't have noticed many of them and Brice C in particular, without this thread. I'm still amazed at that James/Jimmy McFarland thing that cropped up on here recently (although that wasn't a subtle difference!!)
-
I think you might be OK. I've checked discogs and Youtube. Please have a look at the Youtube video posted by John Manship in August 2024. There's a still picture at 2mins 09 secs. The label layout looks like yours with printing over the picture of the Green Hand. If you're still concerned, give John a call. He's very helpful and has time for a chat. Good luck. Kev Bod

They are the German and Dutch issues with the picture sleeve. I have a Dutch one. Released in 1972 according to Discogs https://www.discogs.com/master/1306458-Frankie-Valli-The-Four-Seasons-The-Night

I do like the French Fries - Danse A La Musique" but understand lot's of folks don't! However, the B side must take some beating in this category. Have a listen. It's BAD.
-
He also appeared in in the film version of Porridge!
-
Agreed, also "Construction" seemed to really suit being played at Station Road. (p.s. I have both "10 miles high" and "Hey little way out girl". They don't come close to being the most guilty of "guilty pleasures" in my record collection!!! I feel much better now I've said that)
-
Glad you found it. I didn't realise that was a thing - humming into Google!!!
-
Is it possibly this one? (not eighties but sort of fits the description!)

I think it's a difficult one to fix a price. There are a fair few about BUT, very often, they are "tatty/well used/kicked around a warehouse floor" type things - also know as "OK for DJing with! I've seen plenty of lower grade one's go for £500 to £1,000. I'm sure that a nice copy such as yours would coax out a MUCH better price. So, an auction would be the most likely best option. Lot's of people are happy to pay a high premium for a top copy. With regard to John Bowie, I remember in the late 1970's when someone on a trip to USA came back with LOADS - just like Frank Beverly on Sassy. Pep was selling them at something like £4. So, to see these at current values is incredible

Stoned Love is one of my favorites! I've never seen a black vinyl one. Not sure why, but the LONG version has 1969 on the label and the other side (SHORT version) has 1970.

Hi, I'm still looking for: - Major Lance - Monkey Time - Columbia DEMO. I have posted this previously but thought a new thread may get more attention than another post in an old thread. Please get in touch if you have one for sale. Thanks

We seem to doing OK. There are dozens of Sparrows and Dunnocks. I made a few more nest boxes for the Blue Tits early this year and 2 of them had residents! So there are also lots of both Blue and Great Tits. Sadly, a Sparrow Hawk has also worked this out! There was a Green Woodpecker who bought the new addition to the family. This was a month or so ago. The Hedgehogs seem to have moved on. I think they got the hump when we stopped putting Dried Mealworms out. I think we do OK with the wildlife as we put lots of food out. I was thinking about doing a pond but couldn't decide. Wildlife Pond people (Joel Ashton does lots on youtube) seem to want to avoid having pumps. But, I'm not so keen on having a swamp at the end of the garden. ANY ADVICE?

Hi, I posted a scan of my copy in the previous thread. However, may as well add to this one so they are all in the same place. On mine, they went slightly "rogue" and used a red pen with dashes between the numbers !

Hi All, We have just been contacted by the venue. Apparently, part of the roof has given way/collapsed and rain has been coming in. Therefore, they have cancelled the event as repairs cannot be guaranteed to be completed prior to the 20th. Please accept our apologies. We were all looking forward to another night at the Town Hall. We are looking at an alternative date to fit in prior to the October event already in the diary and on the Soul Source event calendar. Thanks for your understanding.

I came across this on youtube and it made me smile! Any members who are not happy with what their boss or customer asks them to do could email them a link to the video. Also, perhaps imagine any politicians who are no-longer employed saying this to the press! p.s. - It's also worth checking out some of the other tracks on the channel

I'd forgotten about this. Genuinely great set of songs and videos. Really enjoyable. Thanks @Mike

Hi @Robbk I was just having a look and John Manship current auction items and your old thread came to mind!! I know it's 7 years too late, but is this what you were thinking abou James Brown / Bobby Byrd - Fight Against Drug Abuse / Fight Against Drug Abuse - King PSA 1 DJ James Brown / Bobby Byrd Fight Against Drug Abuse (James Brown) / Fight Against Drug Abuse (Bobby Byrd) King: PSA 1 DJ Artist: James Brown / Bobby Byrd A Side: Fight Against Drug Abuse (James Brown) B Side: Fight Against Drug Abuse (Bobby Byrd) Label: King Format: 45s Condition Vinyl Condition:M- Label Condition:M- Sleeve Condition:M- 03/07/2024 18:00 UK TIME Promo only "Public Service Announcement" 45s, one of James's rarest singles. Apparently only promoted by Starday-King Records, Inc. mail out exclusively to "Black Radio Stations". Incredibly elusive and in flawless condition. In repetitive "Trumpian" style JB preaches in "Drugs Are Super Bad, Super Bad, Super Bad, Super Bad..." On the flip Bobby Byrd, repeats the message over a proper hard hitting FUNK rhythms track. Ideal for Breaks, Beats and comping... both the menacing vocal and the edgy music begging to be utilized. For the serious JB collector this is hard to find, in mint condition very hard. Condition Report Two clean promo labels, full gloss mint minus vinyl, still housed in birth-sleeve.
