    The instrumental was played out as Artie Lewis - Struttin' Time, I think. One pressing is on styrene out of the Monarch pressing plant with a delta number of 101569 which makes it made in the mid 70's. The original came out in 68 or 69. Another pressing has it by 'Joey Dee and The New Starliters' on both the vocal and the intrumental side.

    Do they come in a picture cover like this? (Like my security spots? Apparently there a lot of bootleging going on!)

    If anyone does want to name names, just post up them in the freebasing section under 'common British names' or something like that. According to a friend ,who is a QC, you would need a very large sum of money to get it to court for liable and would most probably lose anyway. Also, Mike will have a disclaimer somewhere about 'views of posters not expressing those of the host etc etc. so there would be no reprocussions there.

    Sorry I not interested in swapping / selling owt these days unless it involves me getting Eric Mercury- Lonely Girl and Fred & Turbines - Bernadine, so the chances are very slim! (i don't need the money cuz I rob banks) Which leads me onto another strange Northern 'mental' thing; has anyone noticed that if you paid £100 for it and can get £200 now it's much easier to let go than if you paid £5 and can now get £500 for it?
  10. Simon T
    Yes. It's a odd mental hang up associated with collecting northern, I think. When you first get involved you don't give a monkey's about what the tunes on. Then you start traveling to hear Sam's and Serling's spots becasue they're the only ones playing something. Then you finally get a record where there's a couple of versions e.g. 'Gonna find a true love', 'I don't want to lose you' , and one's a fiver and fab and the other is a £100 and shit; but which one do we hang on to....... (don't tell me you haven't done the same :-) )
  11. Simon T
    Bottom & Co is by far the better record, but with many cases the rarer version is tauted as the better; after all this must be most elist 'scene' in existence! (And guess which one I (elitist t***) own?!)

    Trouble, you're in trouble! I've snapped everything in my box and **** me they seem to have all been originals apart from a one real heavy one that smells of wax crayons with Trident Studios written on it!! Anybody got any supper glue?!
  13. Simon T
    One and the same, I believe.

    How wierd! I had a vg+ black philips issue on vinyl which seemed to have another label underneath. When I got a mint Blue Rock issue (on styrene) I sold the philips copy to Carl Fornum, we peeled the label back a tiny bit and the one underneath was exactly the same color as the Blue Rock copy, but we didn't lift enough up to be totaly sure it was a Blue Rock label.

    'Wait A Minute' sold 30,000 copies in its first week of release according to this site www.keener13.com/timtam.asp Perhaps they all emigrated to Wigan?

    "switch around"?

    Come on and put me out of my misery - "name that tune"! Is it Jimmy Radcliffe The Thrill of Loving You?
  18. Simon T
    There's at least one that doesn't, lucky me, but it's probably only been played half a dozen times. Also, they are on that really rotton vinyl which seems to "wear out" very quickly, worse than styrene!
  19. Simon T
    Mark Bicknell had one for sale recently

    Lowell Fulsom - Talking woman blues & Jack Hammer - Ode to a discotheque (a former 100 club spin, by Mr Smith?)
  21. Simon T
    Yes. I saw one many years ago, Robin Salters's? (It was about 20 years ago!)

    You can get several minutes of music on to a 7", I can't remember exactly how much, I'm sure it's over six minutes, but the volume is low. That's the reason 12" were ''invented'' in the mid 70's for disco. The needle moves from side to side to generate the sound and heavy bass lines need the most movement and hence you often find short tunes pressed up on 12" e.g. "dance hall" ragga stuff. On the Northern side check out the difference between the volume and the track width on originals of Gwen Owens; the first press is very quiet with the grooves very close together and that's the reason those buggers skip!!

    Before the universal the nomenclature system was introduced in organic chemistry, major polymers were given a name, STYRENE being one of them (e.g.polystyrene). So was VINYL, as in Poly Vinyl Chloride (? flexi discs of the fron of NME?). Studio / EMI discs are made of a polymer ACETATE. And finally, for anorak like me, nylon is a polymer that was patented in NY & LONdon.

    It was www.hometown.aol.com.stsleuth/ , but I think it's defunk now.
