It's an out and out counterfeit. Have to admit, I sold mine for £150 but I said I'd never said it's my all time favourite NS record but when this guy offered me £150 for a £5 pressing, I thought I'd be mad not to take it. I would want £100 for it now myself.

Sorry that's rubbish, just because Manship auctions one for £400, doesn't mean people are like sheep and have to follow, I sold this last week on pink Turbo in VG++ for £175, if it had been mint I'd have maybe asked £250 absolute maximum, it's a brilliant record but it's not worth anything like you lot are hyping it up to. As for it rarely cropping up, I think if we go back through my lists we'll find 5 in the last 5 years, which is only 1 a year but that's just me. Stop hyping prices up for no reason.

The book is superb Gary, you should indeed be very proud, fantastic research. And that was only chapter one. Get your monies out everyone, an absolute bargain.

Many thanks guys

Is this anything - Frank Mitchell Jr - Booty Look - Disco 45? Never heard of it - was in a load of stuff I bought - but can't find any for sale. Presuming it's a newish release..

Don't know about late 70's Steve, neither version was played until end of 77 start of 78

Spot on, vocal was never played, yet when booted they put the vocal on both sides!

It did, there's a clip of people dancing to The Champion, some 'proper' dancers from m/c were recruited for it

I buy from the on ebay mate, hang on https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/soundswholesale?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2754

iPhone 4, mint condition except for tiny tiny dent at bottom, no scratches front or back as has always been in a cover, 16gig, and it's UNLOCKED and jailbroken. Second hand unlocked one like this would cost you upwards of £180 in Game and CEX. Selling this for £135 plus £7 registered post. I can put 3000 or so audio tracks on it as well if required and any apps, sat nav etc.

Loads. I buy in bulk from Soundsunlimited Wholesale. MIles cheaper than anyone else.

Reason I said I didn't want to get into debate about the dates of these records is because yes, they may have been played before, but they were popular in the 80's, that's all. I know you're right Ian / Chalky cos Ian Levine briefly mentions it in Black Music.

No what it was; Preview was a label that advertised song-poem facilities where for a fee, you could send them your poems and (however bad they were) they would make it into a proper record. Rodd Keith was the main artist and recorded hundreds of these records. At least four have the same backing as Like The Lord Said.

Must have been a mega flop then! First person I ever heard play it was Pep on Dave Evison's show

I stopped going there by then so wouldn't have known that - I didn't hear it til the 80's so I'm sure you're right

Never heard that before Jerry, so must have been a different c/u name...or was not covered at all at Wigan

I was going to go through my itunes and list some of the best post-Wigan 45's but there would have been a thousand, this was just the start (am not interested in getting into arguments as to if they were played long long ago, if they were then fine!) 50 VERY LATE WIGAN OR POST WIGAN SOUNDS AS GOOD AS ANYTHING THAT WENT BEFORE ADMIRATIONS — YOU LEFT ME ALEXANDER PATTON — TRUE LOVE IS IN THE HEART ALLEN SISTERS - I’M IN WITH THE DOWNTOWN CROWD ANDREA HENRY — I NEED YOU LIKE A BABY ANITA HUMES — WHAT DID I DO ANN HEYWARD — CROOK HIS LITTLE FINGER ANNABELLE FOX — LONELY GIRL ARCADES — THERE’S GOT TO BE A LOSER BARBARA LEWIS — THE STARS BETTY LLOYD — I’M CATCHING ON BETTY TURNER — THE WINDS KEPT LAUGHING BIG DONS REBELLION — IT WAS TRUE BLENDELS — YOU NEED LOVE BOB & FRED — I’LL BE ON MY WAY BOBBY HUTTON — COME SEE WHAT’S LEFT OF ME BOBBY MAC — SHY GUY BRENDA HOLLOWAY — RECONSIDER BRENDA HOLLOWAY — CRYING TIME CHECKMATES LTD — KISSING HER AND CRYING FOR YOU CHUCK HOLIDAY — JUST CAN’T TRUST NOBODY CLAUDE HUEY — WHY WOULD YOU BLOW IT

Spot you're right about the doo wop and stuff but in the first few years after Wigan, the sounds were incredible, it's just a shame that we didn't have them at Wigan

I love this too, rare on UK Stax

Round of applause.

Sod this I'm going to Morrison's to avoid watching the Wolves lose.

I think there are more great discoveries found after Wigan than before or during. And that's from a hardcore Wiganite.

Yeah it's relevant to your comment isn't it, you telling people you're not stuck in a time warp (and therefore above all others), well fucking bully for you Bearsy, well done, I bow down to your superior taste in music.
