Tommaso The only result I got was that someone bought the Twisters off JM's 2 hours later I asked it (and this got to be the reason, because that one has been there for a while and today it suddenly disappeared..!)

sonnyboy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 You should have bought it off of manship then before letting the cat out of the bag Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hope you find one.. ps reads like I bought it I never Edited November 18, 2008 by mischief Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tommaso Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 I know, I'd probably buy one of JM for 100£ now but I wanted to check if anyone had a cheaper copy.. that's still an unknown record and 100£ is quite e high price for my standards. The problem is that there are some people reading this thread that have no other way to find new records than buy other people's wants.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
michael-j Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Times Square and Moerer both have the Twisters on sale for $400 (and listed for the a-side 'Truly', sounds like a ballad with that title) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Have you ever heard it btw? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

michael-j Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) i'll admit that i've bought records that people have posted as 'wants' - that's the risk of posting a want! you draw attention to it... some were new records to me that i checked out and liked, others were ones i'd forgotten about while concentrating on newer wants, but seeing the 'want' post reminded me and so i went a found a copy. i don't see the problem, it's just one of the many ways to hear about new tracks. if you're just following certain people's wantslist then that's different of course... Tommaso - i haven't heard it, but sounds like my kind of thing (an uptempo doo-wop b-side) - what's the Sheba thing about, is it Egyptian themed at all? guessed you wouldn't want to spend $400 on it, but those dealer suggestions were to show that you might have better luck searching for the A-side if it's a known doo-wopper Edited November 19, 2008 by michael-j Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

sonnyboy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 If you want something kept a secret then dont post it on the internet. Simple as that. If there is a record that i really want ,which is unknown( a phrase that is over used as you yourself must have heard it somewhere) then i usually ask close friends to keep an eye out for it and troll the internet and lists.

Have you ever heard it btw? Heard this on JM's site some time ago. My feeling is the price is a reflection of its rarity more than anything else. Soundwise made me think of The Ideals - Gorilla.

Soundwise made me think of The Ideals - Gorilla. The Ideals?? It sounds completely dfferent to me, and far superior btw. Anywya, not everybody's cup of tea for sure! Yes michael, you understood what I meant, anyway next time I won't do that again to avoid disappointment. I'm now mostly looking for the a-side, but it seems pretty hard 45 to find..

pow wow mik Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) The only result I got was that someone bought the Twisters off JM's 2 hours later I asked it (and this got to be the reason, because that one has been there for a while and today it suddenly disappeared..!) almost like buying a Lenny Johnson record blind just because someone asked for it on here! Which you did by the way. Edited November 27, 2008 by mik parry Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Corbett80 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 The problem is that there are some people reading this thread that have no other way to find new records than buy other people's wants.. pop over to the states and get digging then you won't have to ask on here?
