Just wondering, has somebody found a bunch of Al Gardners?

Seen them come up for sale a lot recently, and price dropping a lot, so wondering if a lot turned up?

anybody know?

Posted

how many you seen then? have noticed a couple of beat up copies, Ian Cunliffe got a ridiculous price for one :lol:

Thank fook for that, i nearly bought this off Ian when i saw it in his box the other week (cue a smiley saying 'phew')

I think the "less than minters" are actually the same record, it sold on ebay then was offered in sales on here. Certainly looked like the same record.

I hope loads have been found then I might get a copy within my record buying budget! :lol:

Posted

If Anglo are listing it at £350 then I wouldn't be surprised if some minters start popping out of the woodwork

i'd agree with this most of the time but tim also lets a few goodies out at much cheaper than current market values.

his list is always worth a look IMO.

an over rated over priced tune if i ever heard one...

yes its not great but its not a terrible record either.

"watch yourself" on sir rah is a better track by him IMO.

Googa Mooga or Gooda Mooga - do any Googa's exist or are they all typos / some other reason etc?

Mines a Gooda

Is this the same Al Gardner that we had under Pied Piper/Just Productions? Sweet Baby sounds awfully familiar! Can anyone upload a copy of the record?

Thank you Dave f.,

I haven't heard this in a hundred years! I was hoping it was my Al Gardner. Poor baby, the very thing that made him so good was his curse! He sounded too much like Marvin Gaye. Any knowledge of his wherebouts? (BTW, E. Lewis is L. Chandler.)

Forgive me for not addressing you personally, but sometimes you all forget to sign your names. Anyhoo, I will stand on my two boxes of Sepia, Sweet Baby on the grounds I will not incriminate myself! :shhh:

You are absolutely correct! Wow! Even the the melody (and lyrics) changed slightly, both sound good. I believe Bobby Croft helped to write Ooh, It Hurts Me, just off the top of my head. It sounds like him.

Would you know what quantity would have been pressed of a tune like sweet baby, Lorraine ?

Usually, 200-500 copies are initially pressed. That would be the minimum, especially on the SEPIA label.

...and how did the French get to hear of it and release it?

I would like to know also. Bootlegging is the illegal use of distribution of someone else's material. It's too bad the only person who gets paid is the seller. It's so difficult to track them down and sooo expensive. It's not worth money you put behind it.

Steve,

It's good to be acknowledged and appreciated. I'm just giving back to what I'm receiving. After all, you can't take it with you and I want the record (no pun intended) to be straight. I thank you all more than you could ever know.

Lorraine, its great that via the UK NS scene you can be re-acquainted with some of your old work ... & that you realise how good it was & how loved the old tracks still are.

Your detailed knowledge of what went down over 40 years ago is astounding (so we KNOW you turned up to the office every day in 'full working order').

You are also a truly lovely lady as I can personally attest from meeting you on both of the occasions that you performed at Prestatyn.

MORE POWER TO YOU.
