There are few things to keep in mind here. 1. You could mention to this seller that, although you feel that would be out of order, "2 can play that game" 2. If they did bid, it could push up the finish price that a genuine bidder pay's - thus a good result for You! 3. Just take no notice of someone being childish.

Also, with the 70's boot, the volume on the intro goes down for a brief moment. Have a look at the one Tim Brown has for auction to see if you get any more info. All the best, Kev Bod (p.s. If it's orig and for sale, let me know )

What!! Even the Pink the Pink One for £55!!!!!!!!

.

Selling out via eBay very quickly!

Hi Dave, I've just emailed this scan. Hope it's OK, if not, just delete. All the best Kev Bod

I'd also be interested in finding out more on this. The Blue copy above went for about £1,000 on eBay yesterday.

All done Ady, All the best Kev Bod

This any good? Let me know if you need the other side or without the sleeve Cheers Kev Bod

I liked Elliot Small at Wigan, but ....... about 37 years on and in the cold light of day... However, on the PLUS side, nice to see someone has found some film of Mr. M's and some of the dancing to add to the youtube version.

There may be some truth in this. Currently on eBay, there's a copy of Lou Ragland on ERIC with bidding at over................................£205!!!!!! (SS member selling, must be very happy - good luck )

The 70's Boot/"Reissue" was styrene. The original Demo and Issue are vinyl.

Spotted this on popsike. The seller says that the one's without the anti-slip edge are a 90's repress. https://www.popsike.com/ORIGINAL-1976-45-JAMES-FOUNTAIN-SEVEN-DAY-LOVER-WITH-ANTI-SLIP-SUROUND/251890648556.html

I think the Ronnie Forte record arrived here in volume in the UK in the late 70's. Similar to Frank Beverly on Sassy and John Bowie. Certainly Pep in Wolverhampton had load's. All mint condition and sold for either £3 or possibly £5. That's when/where I got mine. So, plenty out there but likely to be sitting in dormant collections. And if they aren't circulating and there is demand.......

Blimey, dance floor etiquette isn't what it used to be!

Looks like a great LP. Was yours the Australian MCA as on the JM site? (As with the 45, I think the UNI copy is widely available)

John Manship is selling the LP for £100. Don't know if that helps at all . Great record. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/200455/GREEN,_GARLAND

Sorry Jim, no offence. The John Manship Auction page in post #1 is an ISSUE for £133

This latest one is a DEMO. I bought a demo from Mick Smith via EBAY which has an information/promo page which was originally glued to the sleeve.

I'm sure it must just be me, but every time I return to this thread, this image keeps springing to mind.... https://youtu.be/c3BGWJ8s82Y

Following on from the comments earlier in the thread, you really can hear how it's slower/the vocal was "speeded-up". Seems to give it a different "feel".

Thanks for posting this scan. Must be super-rare. It that yours

Is there an Arctic ISSUE of this? Was it ever issued? I've only ever seen Demo's. I'd be interested to know or see a picture if anyone has one

That was an estimate from DC "Swallow"

Hi, I just checked and Dave is correct. Also, the handwriting style is different on the 2 sides Much neater and more visible on the "Alone" side.
