No, never.

Kev Roberts wasn't it?

Paul, there is quite a bit written about Johnnie Baylor in Soulville USA.

Same here.

And they can't spell ballad!

Isn't this James McEachin from The Fury's and Mack IV label owner? Just read the Wiki page, that's the west coast guy.

I've been collecting D-Town for 25 years and never seen a copy for sale.

Cliff and Mark I'm with you both on this one, I'd been after this record for years, first hearing it off Mark, never even heard it mentioned until it turned up on one of the Millionaires cd's, then Manny had a copy which went for around 2G (that wasn't mint either!)..Then I saw it on Ebay, and along with a few others paid a fair sum for it. I must say it was disapointing to pay a premium price, when the sellers were being very shady about the quantity, considering I asked both sellers how many copies only to get the reply "yours is the last one", we've probably all got similar stories? Now the rub!, strikes me most of the folk moaning about it never really liked the record only it's rarity and the potential/kudos that comes with it, then got stuck with a record they couldn't sell or trade on. It still sounds fab to me, and people think on, it will happen again, and does Danny Moore sound any worse just because it is available?

No, aren't they Billy & Betty who recorded on Sagport, Boba should be able to throw some light on this. Oh, and Magnetics for me.

I had both and seem to recall the demo being on thinner vinyl than the issue?

Hi Salmon, It was Ray Jimenez on Columbia, c/u as Nicky Newbery

Stand corrected mate!

Miller Sisters, Guy's Vonettes c/u originally

Turks and Freddie North both Dave Thorley mate.

True, fortunately we were a bit younger, so the extra RPM's were manageable (just!)

Anyone mentioned the Citations? Little Ron & Esquires as Sims Twins Charles Mann Hey Little Girl King George-Midtown Headlines and Penny North on Luau Oscar Perry-Face Reality-Feron Trennells-Blessed With A Love

No bootleg I'm afraid.

I sold one earlier this year on here for double that (and a bit more).

Rob had the acetate from Keb when he (Keb) sold up.

John Manship has one on auction at the moment (no pun intended)!

On Century City, I've got one somewhere, what's your price?

Well it has been out the bag for a long time Phil, and I havent been out much lately.

First played by Andy Rix or Rob Thomas, Arthur Fenn and Marco Santucci also have it and maybe a few others have it now, great record by the way.

Try selling it at £40, I struggled to get £15.

Issue does exist, harder than demo, Butch has an unreleased take that came from Mr Raistrick years back, which is quite different to the Argo release.
