Hi, i used to have a Silhouettes white label boot, bought at Wigan, probably about '76, dont think i've still got it, cost 50p at the time, if i remember rightly. Would have been better off buying the Goodway orig that my mate bought for £5!!!!!! Think i've got a Eddie Taylor somewhere, with the highly collectable biro writing on label!!!!

I noticed someone selling white label pressings of Martha Reeves - No One There on Ebay a while ago, so obviously the tradition lives on!!!

I've got a Hollywood Persuaders "Hollywood A Go Go" B/W Marsha Gee "Baby I Need You". Not sure if that had something to do with Pete Lawson?

Those were all pressed at the wrong speed! Way too fast.

I Know, but this was done to give it that allnighter feeling when at home.

Has anyone else seen Prince Philip Mitchell I'm So Happy b/w Benny Troy I Wanna Give You Tomorrow on Silver Top, large centre US 45? I remember Manship saying this was rare on one of his lists around ten years ago, had this since the mid eighties, no idea when they were done though.
