  1. he is copying Brian Wilson. now just leave us alone and go listen to your ABBA acetates ;-)
  2. Ed Bruce B. J Thomas and Joe - yes i agree, it is a bloody marvellous record!
  3. And time to take this link to one of the best non-Beach Boys songs written by Brian Wilson - given to Glen Campbel for helping them out touring Glen Campbell "Guess I'm Dumb" &">
  4. 'tis true Chrissie - mind you i double decked with Martin at the end so i guess that makes 3 sets...can you drink that much vodka? PML
  5. I never got paid for DJing the Sunday Snug...mind you i did seem to take the decks over all afternoon/evening and i did win a Mr Potato Head in the darts competition....and i did make Kenny dance to 'Scratchy' and some loser kid asked me when the last time i washed my hair was, Ady spilling nigh on all his Guiness; Nick Brown came in and spoilt a suprise, like-minded people on comfy couches sat round late-on talking bollox; soul quiz - ben summers & crew one side - us the other with, secretly, The Rimmer on the end of the phone...these things did not happen at the same 'Snug', but... i miss the snug... Ken...sort it out and the point being...who wants to be paid for the good times? not me, thats for sure :-)
  6. visitors going for about £60 to £70 and Tony Clarke about £250 to £300
  7. now you mention it, Harry, i am sure that the 70s reissue (or is it a boot) is slightly different... i am not suggesting that's what Andy played (was prob some one off thing),
  8. kinell you'll be giving it away soon Greg! you may have more luck on ebay mate - i got over £125 a couple if years ago for mine (not covering the £150 i paid for it a few years before that mind! lol)
  9. i have seen one Moll (red issue) mike hughes had/has it.

    The Q

    yeah loads of people
  11. be quick...more cool than a fishes cool bits... https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lambretta-GP-DL-125-...A1%7C240%3A1318
  12. it's a re-issue from 1968 and much rarer than the Charger original...
  13. the current price is on the front page...whether this updates automatically or manually...as in is it 'live'? i don't know. JM?
  14. it's private auction now for those of us who already bid it's on the left of the home page now
  15. I DJ'd in Southampton a while ago and took a 50 box - not one of these new Euro 68 count ones LOL, but a 50 with a bit less than 50 in. All went ok...
  16. Guitar Slim PM on its way Flanny
  17. £150 on Shifty's list this week
  18. it was his sisters label
  19. i can't beleive this was 26 years ago!! i was a mere 10 years old, but remember it well... fo some reason i thought weller didn't like this - prob cos when i saw them live in '83 they didn't sing it and i dont think he ever referred to it. i have no backing to my thoughts it's just pure conjecture. brill video (now does the girl say to Mick what i think she says which is why he gets pissed off...) awful scooter control happy days it was originally a Jam recording, but not released.
  20. i was going to win that, doncha just hate it when you are winning for days and days then everyone else decides to join in and gatecrash the party. a couple of people i asked informed me that it was not worth any more than my bid and as i could not find any more info on it i let it go...it seems to be harder/rarer than some think perhaps? anyway - Carl if you get offered two - please send the other seller my way; i would really like this
  21. to save me and others looking back, i will post your other half here, Mike... ...Mike, you are naughty LOL... i did not reply to your second half, because, to be totally honest, my rule-book does not cover LP's...! Now, at the sake of a visit from one of me best mates, who lives 2 minutes 53 seconds walk away, i would say if my rule-book covered LP's it would not cover re-issue LP's as being ok... as for the rest of the LP deabte - it is one that i really do not understand and one that i do shy away from...i have only a handful of LP's with tracks that i could 'play out'...if my 'rulebook' did cover LP's it would be play it off the LP only - non of this 'it's another big box to carry' malarky!! If it's on LP - play the LP.! if you play a carver of the track...then why not play carvers of 45's too. One rule for one format does not cover the other. ...but (and i don't know how i let myself be dragged into this again!) i really don't give a fcuk and haven't done for some time - the venue/promoter will dictate the format of music being played; if you don't like it, don't go - there are two 'scenes' running side-by-side, each needing the other - i have written on this before and if i find it i will re-post it..
  22. not in my rulebook... ...unless the original is like a one-off acetate and it is in the best interest of the acetate and sound quality to carve it...(but then it wouldn't be OVO it would be against the OAO rules...LOL)
  23. don't know it - but i I like Vince Dena's version on Sundi
  24. the start is so very like the beginning of 'naughty boy' and that is where trhe similaraties end, cos 'go steppin' is just so good it pisses allover 'naughty boy'
  25. in that case, just play them on cd...
