  1. Or do I!
  2. It's definitely the same backing but I don't know of any connection, I'm sure someone will though
  3. Thanks Grant. I hope to never hear it again. Shocking.
  4. Thats one of the few Islands I haven't got, I'll have a bash at that one (Stranger & Patsy)
  5. Shall I sneakily post 10 minutes up per day til the whole film is up?
  6. Well no more sounds from me anyway, Merry Hill Shopping Centre is calling my name, saying "you must buy even more stuff for the baby"...
  7. Sorry, thought just had to stop for 24 hours.
  8. The only trouble - well two things - with job lots like this, is the condition of the records. They are never specific about the items. I had a lot off this guy before and there was a Porgy & The Monarchs - That Girl, and the b side didn't actually play! Then there's the 200 dollars for airmail postage...
  9. Last one, this has possibly one of the most famous backing tracks of all reggae records and there can't be anyone over the age of 40 who doesn't know what this went onto become! DERRICK MORGAN - HOLD YOU JACK
  10. This is the backing track to the Cool Cool Rocksteady track I posted up yesterday. Again, some great harmonica work on this one. DON LEE - SIR LEES SPECIAL
  11. Hopeton Lewis with an early tribute to his favourite smoking product HOPETON LEWIS - COOL COLLIE
  12. This next one is credited to the Soul Brothers but is actually Freddie McGregor sounding about 6 years old on a song I think you will easily recongise as a classic northern soul oldie from way back when! FREDDIE McGREGOR (LITTLE FREDDIE) - TOO YOUNG TO LOVE
  13. Next one is a great vocal group The Gaylads with a lovely rocksteady number
  14. This one is interesting as it's one of the rarest Island ska 45's, it was also issued on Ska Beat as "Woman", presumably because Island withdrew their version. In fact two different records came out with the same catalogue number (see scans). This is a really fast ska tune full of innuendo! OWEN & LEON - WANT ME COCK
  15. Just adding this one so you can hear what Bob Marley sounded like in the early days, this is a pretty standard ska number which shows nothing of what he would go on to become but it's interesting all the same ROBERT MARLEY - ONE CUP OF COFFEE
  16. Hoping we are okay to post a few new tracks up now. Island label special for today. First one is a great instrumental from the eraly days of ska, there are literally hundreds of insts from this period but this one stands out because of the brilliant harmonica playing. As you can see, my copy looks like it was found in a skip. KING EDWARDS GROUP - RUSSIAN ROULETTE
  17. Well not much chance of me winning them now that the entire world has seen them! But the original poster is obviously not very clued up on records...there's at least 2000 dollars worth there and thats just on about 15 northern records
  18. I don't think I've ever heard the Nurons!
  19. This is a fantastic version which I bought on a one sided Jobete acetate off Mr Phil Dick and sold to Mr Tyler several years back.
  20. Well I'm looking forward to Dean Parrish at least getting some recognition for something! Must be nice for him at last.
  21. Dean Parrish and this Lord Large guy are on Mark Lamarr's show on radio 2 this morning, not been on yet (at 10.15) so if you tune in now you'll hear em
  22. Dave Hall - Look At Me
  23. Haven't got the record any more but can send you the clip...I'll see if I can find it
  24. never mind
  25. Slight exaggeration there!
