I find the two versions to be too different for comparison (and I think both are great!)

It wasn't the one on Maurci 104

John, I guess my prices were fair: Artistics already sold and looks like Tommy G will be leaving these premises too.

Don't know all of them but aren't they a bit left-field compared to the classic four beats to the bar Northern sound? I think the actual question was, there are hardly any new Northern four beats to the bar discoveries. And with that I'd certainly agree.

Both records are now up for sale with fair prices (IMHO), Artistics @70, Tommy G @ 45, both incl 'signed for' post worldwide. Would prefer cash but if anyone's up for trading against any Ska/Early Reggae discs from my wants list feel free to contact me any time.

For sale: THE ARTISTICS - HOPE WE HAVE/I'M GONNA MISS YOU - UK CORAL 72488 (EX+) £70 SOLD Great condition, plays lovely, immaculate labels! Valued @100 in a certain price guide. TOMMY G AND THE CHARMS - I KNOW WHAT I WANT - UK LONDON 10107 (EX+) £45 SOLD Again, great condition, plays lovely, immaculate labels. Nice 6Ts dancer. Seems to be either forgotten or a semi-known track. No soundfile in RefoSoul but you can check the soundfile on Manhship's site. US Hollywood 45 goes for about £25-30 FREE 'SIGNED FOR' POST WORLDWIDE! Paypal only. Please PM me for any further details

John, thanks a lot Just realized I mixed up my estimations, meant to say that artistics is 60/70 and Tommy G & Charms is about 50.

Although it's not one of my personal favourites but Billy Harner - I've got to check you out on V-Tone is one of the best recent discoveries. Classic Northern beat, catchy break, the lot.

I'm going to put the following two records up for sale but I'm not sure about fair prices for them. Artistics - Hope we have/I'm gonna miss you - UK Coral Demo (~50??) Tommy G & The Charms - I know what I want - UK London Demo (~60/70?) both in great nick, at least EX, clean labels. My estimates in brackets. What do you think? Overpriced, fair or bargain priced? TIA Benji

Here's the flip.

Bump, auctions ending in a few hours...

We're talking US releases aren't we? I have the US Bell one and I recall that I was offered a Maxx copy but couldn't be bothered to buy it as the track listing was identical. Anyway, that's how I remember it. If I'm wrong, so what.

tracks on both LPs are identical.

It is. Thanks for the info!

Good for you but that's not the point of this thread Unless you're going to add that the Red Point release isn't dutch ...

Are there any other 45 releases of Dwight Thompson - Man oh man/My woman is calling apart from dutch Poker? I know it didn't make it on US or UK but maybe other european countries, e.g. France or Germany? TIA Benji

I think it's just a white label issue but would like to have a 2nd opinion on that Has anyone ever seen a coloured issue, e.g. yellow or whatever?

Was wondering, are the white label copies of Little Bob - Are you ever coming home on High-Up issues or demos? Sometimes white label denotes demo, sometimes it doesn't... TIA Benji

From UK to Germany: 7" posted 'insured' on dec 6 - > still waiting for it (usually 7-8 days) One jacket (i.e. bigger parcel) posted on jan 21 - arrived on jan 25 (usually 8-10 days) Looks like getting rid of backlog isn't #1 on their priority list, is it?
