????????????????????????????????????.

Yeah, brilliant .

Totally agree . Russ

I beleive its the demo done by the writer, sounds unfinished as you would expect & IMVHO compared with the released KOS finished take, this is poor, you would have trouble recognising it if it wasnt for the fact that we know what it is. Russ

I think that the sounds played today & lets say post Wigan onwards are just as good as any played 'back in the day'. I do think that some times some of these sounds have suffered slightly from not being broken by 'Richard Searling at Wigan tho'. People heard these toons in venues packed with hundreds if not thousands of people & the atmosphere was electric, most were off thier tits & couldnt keep still anyway, a record was ;make or break' within a few plays. Dont forget that as well as the stone cold classics there were some real turkey;s played too. Records like the Mello Souls would have been massive at Wigan or any were else for that matter, some times the venue helps tho. Russ

Mr Abott & myself have discussed this record quite a few times over the past couple of years & we both love it as a NS record, think Dave has been playing it back home so hopefully people are getting behind it.......the woo-hoos are very reminiscent of the Velvets & these make the record for me, a dancers delight & get those hands in the air for the woo-hoo's toooooooooooo. Russ

Sheepherders were predominantly white & had a pretty transient line up, but on this particular disc, the lead is a black guy named Bubba Bailey & he belts it out, massive, massive, massive.hard tune too, paid $$$ for mine even in the US. Russ

Jackie Beavers is awesome & I want one......so any one oblige pse. Russ

A complete stab in the dark here & at risk of looking like a right prat.................but there was an advert on the TV a while back that if memory serves me right used the Sam Fletcher albeit re-recorded or something, certainly messed about with, wondered if this 'edit' was a bi - product Marco S would know maybe ????. Russ

I spose I dont really count being in the US right now & I'm not DJing a massive amount, but for what its worth these are doing the biz in my bedroom & at the few gigs that I get over here: Sheepherders - If Ever You Need Me - Sounds International The Clovers - Try My Loving On You - Josie The Lavells - Share Him - CTB The Hytones - Bigger & Better - Abet (Known by everyone, but never really acheived the status that it deserves) and on a more mid to down tempo note, a great ender........ NA Allen - Every Time It Rains - Ronn (Thanks Jas) Russ

This is the case I use & its absolutely solid, you could drive a truck over it, can be a bit heavey at times, but nowt is gonna get damaged in this, so I feel its well worth it. Russ

Final fling guy's & gal's....................any items over £20 I will take sensible offers on, items £20 or less if you want more than one disc I'll take offers on aswell. Any dealers out there wanna take the lot...........get in touch, we can work a deal, but you pay postage. Russ

Bang on mate Russ

Just a few more days before I ebay the lot. Russ

Since being in the US I have accumalated stuff that is spare. I'm not a record dealer these are just some things I have to clear out & would prefer to let SS's have a crack before I ebay them. I have tried to grade & price as fairly as possible but if there are any contentious prices just let me know & I will review the price accordingly as I feel neccessary.

Said like a true girl Karen ...............thank you for the info. Russ

Any one pse. Russ

Can any one pse tell me if there is any difference between the green with black swirl & the green with multi coloured swirl releases of this disc & is one more sort after than the other ???. Thank you. Russ

Surely some one must know something ????

Sold my copy about 10 yrs ago for £400 . Russ

Thanks for the info Rob, such sad news. One of my favourite female artists...........I had only recently added 'Deal with That' to my collection too, so have been listening to her quite a bit recently. RIP Dee. Russ

When I made my move to the US, all of my belongings came over by sea freight. I seem to remember that I had to make a list of the contents of each box/container & then this box was put into a proper container for shipping. I was that paranoid that someone would have me vinyl away whilst in transit, that I wouldnt say what was in those boxes, I labelled them as something else, that no casual would be thief would have any intetest in whilst ensuring that the contents were still 'fragile'. I also seem to remember that I could only insure what was shipped as a 'lump' & not as individual items as to insure them seperately was cost prohibitive. Whilst most of my records went into storeage, those I shipped, after weeks of worry arrived safe & sound. BTW aswell as everything else my records were in proper flight cases. Might be expensive, but worth there weight in gold with regards to keeping the vinyl safe in transit. Hope this helps. Russ PS I also remember something about custom forms.........but shouldn't have a problem with vinyl.

Has anyone got any info on how the movie production is going or even if it is going ahead ???. Has any one been approached with regard to advice etc, etc, etc. What about a release date. Also if anyone knows & I appreciate that this may be a little premature, but will the movie get a US release ????. Any info welcome. Best Russ
