I co-promoted Bidds with Dave Evison at that time, I also used to run Alsager with him and Gary Taylor. Dave decided he'd had enough with Bidds, so I carried it on, and pushed the policy towards the rarer stuff. It is indeed a great venue, ideal for the allnighter scene Hope you can come visit again sometime

Take it that's a no then.....

Freddie North - Oh Lord, what are you doing... Abet 45 Just gone through an old box of 45s and found this. A credible version of the Big Maybelle tune on Scepter. Any info - is it known, value etc... Cheers Mace

I'm sure I had a (drunken) conversation with John Kelly (the Scouse-Manc) about this tune once upon a p*ss-up, and he reckoned Amanda Love was another artist who was vocally very similar (in his opinion)....but I can't remember who he said (or even if conversation actually took place...hic ) I will ask him next time I speak to him, and if I remain sober during the conversation I will endeavour to let you know...

Please send me same list, sound clip, and idea of price you are after Regards Mace

that's beside the point...

I once won a copy of The Drapers off ebay. The description stated 'recording in mint condition' When it arrived it looked VG at best, though played perfectly well. I questioned the sellers description, to which he informed me that he had stated the 'recording' not the record was in mint condition and he had recorded both sides on the 45 just in case of any such comebacks! I informed him he was a devious sneaky tw*t :angry: B*st*rd!

Been on RM site per chance Linda....

You'll have people thinking I'm a cheapskate (or jammy bast*rd ) However, if you have decided to exit the auction I will resubmit my bid as... $5

I'll raise ya to £60... Mark, if you think I'm willing to go anywhere near £400 forget it

I'm sure there was a copy in Killers sales box at Keele last night? Presume you know Killer, otherwise p.m. me and I'll sort you out with a contact number. No info on condition or price sorry.

Oh dear lord.... Thanks for posting anyway ...my mate still wants it in its entirity if you could manage to do a full soundclip..... Meanwhile, I've booked him in for a full hearing test......

Thanks Can anyone send me a soundfile so I can pass it one. Will it make my ears bleed.... if so I will just forward without listening...

Cheers I believe that is Col Stubbs brewery you are advertising on you avatar....

A mate of mine is after a tune called "Groove it" - apparently 70s uptempo male group tune played at Wigan late 70s...any ideas much appreciated

Seem to recall its titled 'Revelations' ??? Please correct me if wrong....

I'll take Tony Williams if still available mate. TONY WILLIAMS – HOW COME – PHILIPS DEMO EX 25 Regards Mace

I blame it all on Shane....

About £3 I'll give ya a fiver...you pay postage.... Good to see ya saturday night Joe....send my love to your missus...

£25 - £30 is it's price IMO mate. Had loads a few years back, Pete Smith lists it quite often, tho can't remeber how much he prices it at.

root atoot atoota...root atoot atoota...

I actually sold a spare copy last month, for the 'Help the poor' side.

Is this the one with a really dodgy break that sounds like he's playing a comb and paper? Sounds pretty good until that point.... I know people who bought it after a brief listen to first minute or so, but were gutted when they got home and played the whole tune...

Love 'Bring back your heart - got it on a white promo Canadian Sparton / ABC Paramount. Have you heard 'Too many miles' on ABC by the Del Vikings? Great tune and quite hard to find (£80 +) Believe Chuck Jackson is on the vocals (though sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong)

Have you flipped it Brett. Has great version of 'Wouldn't have it any other way' on t'other side. Quite slow intro, but lovely tune.
