ROBERT TANNER                                 TELL ME YOUR NAME                                              MEGATONE                              VG+          £2,750

Started playing this one back in early 2000’s, caused me loads of confusion with punters and dancers as Andy Dyson coincidently was playing the other release ‘Sweet Memories’ at around the same time. I’d get requests for Robert Tanner, so I’d drop this disc. Next thing, people were up saying ‘that B side is brilliant, can you flip it and play Sweet Memories’ ???? I finally worked out what was going on…. Doh 2 releases. The strange world of northern soul.  Both releases are 5 star quality

and very rare, this one edges it on rarity. This copy comes in at VG. Vinyl has a number of superficial marks, but retains gloss and plays loud and strong with no problems. Labels scans below.
