I (probably) was there Terry and I'd still like to hear all those records again, nowt wrong with that. I'll be able to nail some of them that I didn't know at the time so educational for me, all part of the never ending learning curve that this is

Yes me Phil

Thanks John but I've still got the copy I bought in 75

Yes me, love it

How many do you have to post to make it cost effective?

It was played at the Wheel apparently Chalky, much to my surprise when I found out. As with other tags/labels it seems theres some differences to peoples definition of what a beat ballad is

Yeah but like benji says the Artistics isn't a beat ballad

When was this first played/known?

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of something like death by a thousand cuts would be more appropriate

Being shot would be too quick and clean

I'm Spartacus

Put a want up for this last week and was offered a white demo for £40 Great record

A timely resurrection of this thread with the new one about a venue closing because of people moaning about an OVO policy being introduced

you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself, I'm never speaking to you again

Why would anyone complain about you playing original vinyl? The other way round yes but this is a new one on me

Theres a previous thread bout this John if you do some searching around. I think the consensus was that this was an 80s pressing. Its strange that JMs book doesn't mention it

Lydia Marcelle sorted, thanks

80 quid (ish) I'd say

Lydia Marcelle - Its Not Like You (Manhattan) Tony Talent - Gotta Tell Somebody (Vando) Anyone got these to sell at a competitive price? Must be M- though, not interested if any marks at all and labels must be near perfect Cheers Both sorted now

OK Roger I just assumed it was a monarch pressing, so much for that theory

Can anyone post the delta number? (the soussan pressing) then we can date it?

Jesus, I've just thought in two years that will be 40 years for me

I know its not kosher but I still think its a great instrumental

My first exposure to northern was in the summer holidays of 74 at our youth club and one of the first records I've always associated with that time is The Same Old Thing instrumental by Fred Smith Orchestra. However John Manship's site has this down as a 76 pressing (which should be accurate with the delta number) Was this played on anything before Soussans pressings were sent over here? Is my memory playing tricks on me? Was it played pre 76? Any memories of this appreciated

I remember a thread from a few years back where doubt was cast on the legality of some UK label 60s issues that had always been thought of as cast iron legit. A can of worms indeed, I suppose 100% certainty isn't possible in any of this.
