Guest Pete Griffin Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Jammy git, where'd you find that? No issues spotted as yet I think, and the one I had was on styrene too. It was off ebay at a high starting bid, but no one bid on it, so i emailed him about a month later and bought it, just over £600, probably to much, saying that i did check popsike first on the price. Dj with it last night, fantastic. and played it on our radio boogaloo radio.
Guest Pete Griffin Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 velly nice. could we have some info on billy as well, please? Dont know who he is, but he had good taste in music
Guest Pete Griffin Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 So we dont know if it ever got a major release, or did it just go out to djs radio ect. Or is there a big box of issues sittin in a corner of a ware house?

Ian Seaman Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 A loose link I know, but has anyone seen a JD Martin - By Yourself on a Tower issue? Mike. Yes i have Mike, i have a mate who just bought an issue for £250 and can remember talking to Henry Atkinson about it and he has had 2, both warped, 1 was sent back to seller and the other was straightened out and looked perfect and then sold on for £200 he thinks !!!!! sounds very cheap for what seems to be a seriously rare issue and on the other matter i have a Sam Williams Demo and i,m sure i have seen JM with an issue a few years back !!!, there was a scan doing the rounds at one time of it i,m sure !! Ian.

Dave Moore Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 So was there ever a issue then Pete, Never had one personally. Of either JD or SW. Demos plenty but never a stocker.
spot Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 A loose link I know, but has anyone seen a JD Martin - By Yourself on a Tower issue? Mike. Yes Mike as a matter of fact my mate Smiggy had one & sold it on the other day, first one I've ever seen, can't remember who he sold it to but I saw it again (same 1) in a box at Skeggy at the weekend. Spot.

Guest Johnny Mack Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 John "Let's talk it over" by Sam Williams was also issued on another label, the name of which escapes me at the moment - its a red, New York label. I'll see if I can find it. Best John Flip it over..... Lets Talk It Over is fabulous.

Gilly Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Got mine from a collector friend in Detroit 1994 when I was there with John Kingham. it was less than $10 from memory
