Received a record from the US today and opened it up to find that instead of the usual cardboard stiffeners the sender had used two other 45s each side of my purchase to protect it. Not that unusual as you used to see it a lot years ago and occasionally still do. Emailed the seller just to be sure he hadn't made a mistake and he replied that "I've stopped buying cardboard stiffeners and use old 45s out of a big box of $1 bargain bin junk". One of the said "junk" 45s was Alexander Patton - A lil lovin sometimes and another was Aretha Franklin - One Step Ahead, both near mint!! The other two were a Slim & Little Ann 45 and a thrashed copy of Ruby Andrews - Casanova, both probably deserving of the $1 bargain bin! Made me feel slightly better about the $24 postage charge! Anyone else been lucky and had a similar experience? One man's water and all that....

Last Night Changed It All (LP version)

Great tune but it should be in the 'under £20' forum section. Why would you pay a ton when you can pick up an issue minter off discogs for £15??

This Egyptian Lover 7" is on triangular vinyl with a magnetic sleeve that can be formed into a pyramid The star wars soundtrack which projects a hologram over the vinyl is quite cool and although not vinyl, this Spiritualized album packaging is in the style of pill form medicine with each track on mini CD having to be popped out of the blister pack to be played

As Keb Darge used to respond "you don't know anything!" and if they asked for something we can dance to...."you can't f**king dance!!"

Hi, still after a nice clean copy of this! PM's only please Cheers Craig

Still looking... Thanks in advance!

and the flip of Where Is The Love has this cover of Dyke & The Blazers...

Errol Dixon did quite a few 'soulful' recordings and this Glen Miller deep soul cut is bizarrely on the flip of a Dennis Alcapone Dee Jay record

This is an LP only track and a stormer too!

Why, if he was so disgusted by your request, did he have a copy in his box?!!

It's to commemorate 50 years of Trojan Records and was the first 7" to see release on a Trojan label

My aunty walked into a pub in Medway in the 60s where 'some American bloke was making a right bloody racket' and left after about 10 minutes. Found out later it was Jimi Hendrix!

Wouldn't sell it for less than £150, have seen it go for twice that last year but to be fair the value seems to fluctuate quite a bit!

I'd have to go with

*Duke Reid/Roland Alphonso - Trojan 7" *Grant Green - Slick! Live at oil can harrys & Funk in France LP's *Small Faces 7" EP *Studio 1 Dubplate special box set *Sun Ra - Live at pine street theatre LP *Thelonious Monk - Nutty 7" *Demon Fuzz - I put a spell on you 7" Guess I'm easily pleased!

What about Nichelle Nichols, although she had been in Star Trek for a year before this double sider was released!

Jazzman Gerald sells them on his website - might be worth contacting him to find out his supplier?

Mine has the push out centre also. Doctor Bird did do a few solid centre releases but I've never seen this Lloyd & glenn 45 as a solid centre, still don't think it justifies the asking price though!!

Circa 1977 according to 45cat

Thought so at that price! Cheers mate
