Just click where it says Youtube Link Ted (if its showing that on your display) p.s. you'll hate it

I found another version of this, this time he's singing live and the backing track is different - it's out of synch on the tape and looks like he's miming, but he's not - he only looks about 16! (this track now sound to me very Gene Pitney-ish) Download Video Youtube Link

Just noticed - she's supposed to sing "Give me a big strong line" and she actually sings "You'll be a big strong lion" bloody pot smokers

Remember this? Set to the tune of Major Lance's "The Matador"? This isn't the studio version but it's still nice...and to see it on video..amazing Download Video Youtube Link

Sounds great loud though mate. Might ask Mick Smith of he's got one of these for me. I like these 'dramatic' sounding tunes.

You'll either love it or hate it, this one's well known by UK collectors (on mercury) but if you can get past the skin tone of the singer, listen to that fabulous backing track...great stuff Download Video Youtube Link

I didn't get that at all!

Mark I understand your approach and I've always noticed how diplomatic and polite you are in your replies over the years. However, now and again, sometimes you just have stand up to people and tell them to f*ck off.

I've edited the list so that all of the sold and reserved items have been removed. Many people have reserved or asked about items, I've replied and heard nothing so all I can say is that if I don't hear from those people by midday tomorrow I'll sell them to the next person who asked. Fair enough?

Everyone, just got back in, there's about 20 orders off my mailing list and 15 from soul source so I'll do them in the exact order they arrived so it's all fair to everyone, give me 10 minutes ok

Yeah I always wondered how they got those blank labels.

Known? Rated? Hated? Dunno myself, can't find it in the books, not bad early 60's a bit like a cross between Stand By Me and Somebody Help Me (Donald Jenkins).

You chose the wrong record with Weak Spot - for a short time it WAS the biggest record and more or less everyone wanted to hear it and it was a good record. Hawaii 5-0 - supposedly played by Sam as "a joke" came at a time when northern had never been more popular so I doubt if that many people left because of that. Tim Tam and Muriel Day were indeed crap of the highest order.

Does this have anything to do with you stopping doing the radio show?

Did you know Ian has re-opened ANS Phil? Except I can't find it to join in..

I'll send you one, don't worry. Pleasant or nasty?

I've also received several emails, not via the site though. People will talk...

cough

It's also a complete rip off of I Need Help by Detroit Land Apples but no sample is mentioned on the album sleeve

No you didn't, you got congratulated for saying it!

I've got one of those lp's here now but it was slightly different because me and my mate had one each cut at Jah Tubbys studios in London, sent them 16 tracks of our own choice, came back as an lp - this was in 1989 or 1990 - I sold mine years ago but his came into my posession when he died last year.

What we used to do, go into Sundown records in Wolverhampton on a friday afternoon and there would be a list of titles (at the time I remember there were tracks such as: Eula Cooper, Lou Pride, Reggie Garner, Frankie Crocker, Zola, Larry Santos, ken Williams, High Voltage) - you paid £5 (bearing in mind my paper money was £1.50 a week!) and went back a week later to pick your records up. The handwriting on the labels was in fact very elegant and I soon realised it came from the hand of Pep, who opened his own shop in town 6 months later and always had emi's for sale. There was also a 2 man operation from Ormskirk (no names) who operated from the back bar at Wigan, they had a 2 page typed list of titles (I'm moving on a year now so it was the time of Yum Yums, Flirtations, Adams Apples, Len Barry, Florence Devore etc) and they took sometimes 4 weeks to supply by which time your title had been bootllegged! Russ's records in Wigan openly advertised custom cuttings of tracks, I remember having a (don't laugh) Poppies b/w Present off Russ and it was very low sound quality. Someone else who posts on here also did the same service, 4 tracks or 2 tracks on Pyral discs. So basically they were everywhere but not necessarily in boxes pre-prepared, it was more a case of asking for the tracks and they'd be cut for you. Around the middle of 78 the 7" blanks appeared to get scarce and awful 10" blanks appeared instead.

Brian?
