I've never really taken much notice of British stuff unless it is only available on a UK release. (although a white demo with a big red A on it is aesthetically very pleasing) I imagined that those who do collect British do so because they started in the late 60's, or before the importation of USA issues of the top sounds of the day. However, relatively recently .I have noticed an increase of UK records for sale particularly on auctions for quite high sums of money. So..... 1 has British collecting never been away, just prices are going up in general? 2. is there an upsurge to collecting due more money being available post mortgage, kids etc and the effects of "supply & demand"? 3. are records being embellished to inflate prices in order to keep dealers in an ever increasing supply of pork pies?

Ruby Jean - Empty Words ?

Check out 'The British Invasion' which was on BBC4, about 18 mins in

Wasn't this made at Motown for all the 'thousands' of Motown fans in the UK, and on the strength of the large number of UK fans, the Tamla Motown Review tour was give the go ahead and financed by Berry Gordy?

I'M sure that the Blue Plaque Scheme closed down earlier this year due to lack of funds

ubs. For 'jingles'

tiny scan, but you'll get the gist

Is there a list of 'PB' pressings? George Blackwell Salvadors Johnny Vanelli and.........?

I thought there would have been several as wasn't the 7" single was the main medium for buying music in the 60's for the youngsters?

bit off topic, but out of interest, what years were bags & circle skirts in vogue back in the day? I seem to remember my sister who went to nighters had some 'oxford bags' in the mid 70's

Bootleg a record, why would anyone want to do that!

I had a tape entitled 'Dave Rod Sounds '82'. It's got loads of their Stafford plays, inter-dispersed with all the 'Motown U/R' tracks. The whole of the tape play a tad too fast. However, all the Motown stuff play way much faster than they should.

Does anybody know who Pb was? Was he the bootlegger or just someone associated with the production of the lacquers etc at the pressing plant?

So are the 600 sold on Jerden sort after?

Some of them HAD...... Once rumbled, some had scratches in the run out, drill holes & stickers / sticker marks, especially the pb boot of the Salvadors

Well keep up the good work and tell PB he should have been a bit more imaginative with his C/U names; I bet there's more Joe Mathews C/U's than JM records!

So that's 'Northern Soul', looks like fun. Who do you get to score the gear for you, your kids or grand-kids?

The Kingsmen - Louie Louie Apparently it cost $50 to record and sold a million to get a gold disk,
