I'm not sure thats right Paul, I think the first issue is box logo as well - BUT - the demo's are definitely the old style Decca logo. To tell the difference between the first and the second you'd have to look for the inverted matrix number above the catalogue number, that is, if it's upside down, it's from 67, if it's the right way up, it's from 76. This also applies to Danny Williams - Who's little girl are you, and of course David Bowie - The laughing gnome

Used to have this on British - Fontana I think it was...

Not nasty, doing some leg-pulling..

Don't listen to 'em Gary, they're being nasty

No thats actually Roger Williams' favourite record

That who now???

Apart from the reddish tint to the vinyl when you hold it to the light, you can actually hear the record being dubbed from a copy with very minor surface noise when you put the stylus onto it. It's like silent then you hear this faint hiss.

No, it's a good record but Shirley Edwards is a million times better (IMO)

sorry Rach, I meant :graynone:

Thats one of those records that sounds crap when you play it at home but grat when it's blasted out loud...like John E Paul...

Mickey Moonshine was a singer/producer called Chris Rainbow who had a couple of minor hits in the mid 70's.

I wanna know why the person who asked the original question doesn't know the answer seeing as it's his record :graynone:

Joan, are you stalking Christian you know ewverything about him!

It's Jackie Day and it's off the Australian EP

Judy Street... damn, I answered before reading the others posts

Agree with those except Sugar Plum, I played that a few weeks back and it sounded great!

I think that was played before it was a hit to be honest and became a hit because of that...then they started playing other tracks off the LP (Land of 1000 dances was one I think). Also the original version of Groovin' by the group "Wind" could have been played I suppose.

Clue, clue, clue... (I'll get me coat)

DC Larue? Your Dad?

No but he did play 'sign of the crab' by Joe S Maxey on Action - (which was actually Go Head On by The packers)

That was definitely played at venues whenever it came out - 1970? I've heard it quoted as being played in an old fanzine and I've also got it being played on Mike Raven's r&b show on reel to reel. Makes you wonder

A mine of useless information, me The Alka Seltzer commercial featured a large man displaying signs not of mere heart burn but signs he might literally explode at the dinner table a la Meaning of Life's Mr. Creosole. Before him is a large bowl that once contained a pasta dinner that could have sustained the people of Chad for the greater part of a year. With a look freely mixing one part terror and one part astonishment -- a look not far different from a man who has just impaled himself on a fence post while playing a harmless game of touch football -- our glutton dribbles from his mouth the unforgettable words "I can't believe I ate the whole thing." Believe it, round boy. And believe Bayer when they cut to a spiel about the modern miracle of neutralizing acid with sodium bicarbonate. Of course Bayer doesn't tell the viewer its secret formula is baking soda. It just suggests that contained in two little pills of Alka Seltzer there's enough restorative power that even this fat ass with an uncontrollable appetite can receive temporary relief from the effects of his unbounded sinful gluttony. Have your doubts? The commercial cuts back to the shameless pig. Much to our surprise, he's not exploded. He's not a bloody mass on the chair. His rib cage is not cleaved open by a powerful internal blast of gastric juices and whatever the Christ he shoveled down his gullet at lunch. We do not see shreds of internal organs hanging from the unnaturally extended chest bones like skinned rabbits drying on sticks in an Indian smoke lodge. No, alas this fate has been reserved for only Monty Python's Mr. Creosole. This pork vacuum is, get this, smiling. He's just imbibed a glass of water in which he's dissolved two regular strength Alka Seltzer tablets. To confirm his fit-as-the-world's-fattest-fiddle condition, he answers his original, painfully put yet rhetorical demi-question "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" with the proud "the WHOLE thing".
