For Sale: Betty Wilson and the Four Bars - "I'm Yours" (Dayco) VG- condition. £900 £750 (postage at additional cost). The good news is that the record still has lots of gloss and there is some residue on the vinyl itself which I haven't tried to remove (but looks like it could be removable). The bad news is that the label is not the best (see pictures) and the record does play with some pops and crackles throughout (although the pressing is fairly loud/good). I have DJ'ed with this record so it can be played out, but definitely not a mint copy! PM me to purchase/for a soundclip. Many thanks!

Thanks very much for your help Neal. Is anyone able to please give me the run-out numbers on their copy of "It's Everything About You"?

Any help much appreciated...

Hi all - I was hoping some of the very knowledgeable people on this forum maybe able to assist with a question I have in relation to records The Pretenders cut on the Carnival label. I have owned a copy of "Just Be Yourself" for a while now, but recently managed to also acquire "It's Everything About You". As far as I am aware neither of these records have been booted (there is a reissue of Just Be Yourself), but I noticed some differences between the two records which worried me and I was hoping for confirmation that the copy of It's Everything About You is an original. Differences are as follows (picture below): different shades of red between labels; label text looks clearer on Just Be Yourself; vinyl itself is noticeably lighter (feels flimsy) on the copy of It's Everything About You; and "Just Be Yourself" has 'FW10', 'CA1111-RE-1' and something else illegible in the run-out (and has 'Bell Sound' stamped on the other side), whilst "It's Everything About You" just has 'CA-1113' Many thanks! Tomas
