Top post Adam - the above highlighted is an unanswerable question which frustratingly I fear we will never know the answer to. Sympathise with the promoters

You must be Joan If you live round here, these two records are so typical of the element of the scene who just want to go out and hear/dance to the same familiar tunes that they heard last week, month , year........ad infinitum Another in the same bracket is Home Is Where The Heart Is, plus alot more that I cant be bothered to list. Personally I'd rather boil my bollocks in treacle than listen to this kind of stuff

Thats strange Pete mine's cracked as well Oh well plenty more to go at

Why do you want to close it? Doh!!

Thats true Chalky, its other people who take it as gospel that annoying IMO ( especially American sellers who have a start bid close to the book value) The reality for us small fish is very different

The loretta williams version is the dogs bollocks of a tune IMO Out of interest when would this have been played first?

bump, come on I need some cash to fund a serious vinyl habit...

Thats the one. thanks Chalky

That sounds promising Lenny. Anyone got a sound clip of this to confirm?

Got an old tape from ( I think it was Saus ) the early 90s with Eddie & Ernie - "You Got What It Takes" c/u on it. True identity of this anyone?

Kev, got this on a tape from Garrry titled "Big sounds from '86"

Count me in Rob Make sure its not a 1st Saturday though

Have you been out since 1974 Mel?

Its been hammered to death round this way for a few years Simon

Just got all mine sent out and the others are starting to drop through the letter box now. Lots of stuff I dont know which I'm looking forward to hearing, its gonna take some time to get through them all though Dont worry about yours Joan, sounded great first play through Also glad none of my tunes are on the other so far. Cheers everyone

Wait til you've heard it fifteen thousand times JB you'll change your mind then

Just running mine off now, my printers decided to act up at the right time so need to buy a new one to get the lists done. Apologies for the delay

Very true mate I've already assumed who it is but you know what they say about assumption......
