    During 1972 and 73 I used to go to Bostock's in Bradford and later the stall in Leeds at least once a week. The titles in quantity are probably fairly well known but of the ones that I didn't see loads of are, (although they may have been very small quantities of some of these)

    MGM

    Tony Middleton- To The Ends Of The Earth

    Lou Roberts- Everything You Always Wanted

    Jewels- We Got Togetherness

    Roy Hamilton- Panic Is On also Count On Me

    Verve

    Youngblood Smith- You Can Split

    High Keyes- Living A Lie

    Howard Guyton - I Watched You Slowly Slip Away

    Robert Banks - A Mighty Good Way. I found one copy of this on a demo so there may have been a few more of this but not hundreds.

    There must be others as well that weren't there as the records seem to only cover those issued around 64 to 67 so no blue and yellow MGMs .

    As to why some weren't there it could be that there weren't any overstocks and returns on some titles as they managed to sell the initial pressing without enough demand for extra runs. The titles in quantity were all issues and they were packed in 100 count boxes, there must have been thousands of Spyder Turner- I Can't Make It Anymore but none of the hit- Stand By Me.

    I thought Bostock's got them through Soul Bowl but others may know more. @Ian Dewhirst would know a lot more about Bostock's and there are some past threads on here, somewhere.
