The buyer in the long run, cus as long as someone will pay more than some-one else then most people think that is it's real value.

I'd sack the Dee Dee Sharp and go for the Frances Faye version. Pete Smith outbid me for a promo copy on ebay last week, so get in there quick!

PMed you back mate....already gone I'm afraid. For the price of 3 pints and a pack of pork scratchings...

Nev is pretty much spot on with his prices imo Martyn. On saying that I've got an Ex copy of the Rhythm Rascals on Roulette for £10 if anybody wants it.... P.S. Why does 'Rhythm' get spelt wrong so often on this site

Original has a raised MR stamp and a tiny scratched in CK3 in deadwax.

Hi Jim, long time no see, hope you are well mate. Was reminiscing recently about how we used to regularly turn up at your house on scooters, and get 'educated' by your good self on so many quality tunes.....was that really 20 odd years ago! I've still got the Kell Osborne I managed to prise from you.....good old days indeed! Hope to see you somewhere soon. Regards Mace

Canadian releases tend to go for less than the U.S. ones (probably because the U.S. copy is usually the 'original' first release) I prefer to have the Canadian where possible (especially Sparton/Regency/Reo/Quality), purely for the fact they are that little bit different from the norm. They don't tend to show up as often as U.S. copies though, even on more common releases such as Impressions etc.

Emailed ya!

Anyone shed any light on this 45. I have Sue 726 promo Johnny Moore 'You're my queen' b/w 'Why do you treat me this way' I have been told it's the only release under his proper name on Sue, the rest were under Johnny Darrow. However, Sue 726 is also listed as Johnny Darrow, but tracks are 'Hand in hand' b/w 'Why do you treat me this way. So they obviously released the same flip on the same release number of 726....one as Johnny Moore with 'Youre my queen' the other as Johnny Darrow 'Hand in hand' As I stated, mine is a WLP. I'm not sure if the Johnny Darrow 726 had a promo release...if not, then is it likely they pulled it after promo, changed his surname and shelved the 'You're my queen'track and replaced it with 'Hand in Hand'. Any info/ideas ? Regards Mace

A true gent indeed. R.I.P John.

When it comes to records, I'm ALWAYS alert

Am I missing something here....this wants list was posted in 2005. The original poster hasn't reposted the list, so why are you all replying to such an old list?

When this one gets put to bed, can we get our teeth into this next 'hot' topic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3saxxYZ95c8

Thankfully, some things never change....

Joan, there was an alldayer at Bidds many years ago (maybe not a million, but more like 15 - 20 years or so) and Butch did DJ at it. I was actually involved with running it (with Rob Jones), though Rob Jones was sick on the day and never turned up (neither did many others as it happened! ) Perhaps I should be advertising my 20th Anniversary next Feb on the back of that fact

I can't access any sub-categories from Records (ie genre/size/speed etc) so as to fine tune my searching. Anyone else struggling with this?

P.Ming ya....

It would indeed, a top lad who I'd trust with my life, but not with my wife...

I'm not sure that it's legal requirement as such, moreso advisory to have badged doorstaff at the recommended ratio. Council venues usually insist on it, and I should imagine nightclubs etc that suffer from constant problems with fights etc would have to employ bouncers to comply with their license, but I'm not so sure a working mans club would have to? Was this the Northward Club you refer to that was closed down? Did they lose their license over that one incident, or was there other ongoing issues (running beyond licensed hours etc) that compounded the problem? Either way, I agree with your overall point Brav. Dawn, I have on occassion used extra bouncers when numbers required it, the trick is to have a head doorman leading the team who fully knows the score and he should ensure his team work to his instructions and follow his example. It also depends on who pays their wages, the promoter or the venue manager/owner. If the promoter pays them, you can be sure they will be a hell of a lot more responsive to the promoters requests.

Doormen should always be used in my opinion. Nowt to do with 'controlling' those who should be there, but more-so keeping out those that shouldn't. I'm fortunate that the doormen I use are extremely 'scene friendly' so to speak, they have always done the door for any events I have done, and now do a lot of the other soul nights around Stoke....they even occasionally turn out at soul events they are not working at. They know the full score, and they also know any local knobs who shouldn't be allowed in. I've never had any reason for them to 'earn their keep' so to speak, and hope I never need to....I'm quite happy to pay them their rate for doing nowt if the night runs smoothly. Some promoters might prefer to cut costs by not employing doormen, but do they ever consider the possible consequences if something did go tits up one night?

Dave, was it you who played Eddie Marcel 'I go crazy' on Gladhamp? Regards Mace

Surely the following equation answers your question Mr Beeks... Value of record = (Rarity x Demand) divided by Supply available. Unless it gets auctioned on Mannys site then you need to multiply by the 'Chaos Factor' (an unknown random quantity that renders the above equation completely useless)

My spare copy is just 'Forgetfulness' side with a different flip. Got my own copy of 'Still waters' with 'Forgetfulness' on flip (not for sale though), and it was also released as 'Still waters' with 'Moon Rocket' on flip. All on Gramo. Regards Mace
