Thats it

I didn't know that either.

You're right..

Of course I'm happy. I just feel sorry for people who pay double.

£1200 offered

No I did a list yesterday just of letter "A" and a few people asked me if certain records were coming up later in the alphabet and The Exciters was one, also Epitome of Sound, Younghearts, Marjorie Black, Lynne Randell, Willie Tee, Bill Wright, Sinceres, Pointer Sisters, sold a sh*tload yesterday.

Darren that Saxy Russell isn't unissued, it's on the B side of the Outtasite release of Psychedelic Soul.

The boots have got that stamp on it as well Billy!

Beejayzus I sold that Exciters demo yesterday for £75! Thought I did well.

Right I've played it and the first 20 seconds are crackly so I'd rate it no better than vg despite the rest of it playing fine. Whatever the mint value is, I'll sell it at half that price.

OK Steve no worries. It'll be £60 I think. Depends how it plays, not played it yet. Four or five people know I've got it though, they've seen a list, so have a think if you definitely want it cos I'll sell anything to anyone

Baggsy accepted

This is it

What website? I've got a vinyl WD of it for sale. Was going to stick £75 on it but it's only VG+ so £50 maybe. I said WAS, I want to see what this site says about it first now

Yeah that's what this is Dave. It is for sale if anyone wants it.

"No Time" soundclip now working

I am looking for offers on a super-rare original of JOHN & THE WIERDEST - CAN'T GET OVER THESE MEMORIES / NO TIME - TIE 101. One of the greatest double siders ever. Okay let me explain the condition in details. It's a record which looks like it never saw a sleeve in it's life therefore it's covered in hundreds of little marks - not scratches - but marks that make both sides crackle on the quiet intros. Once it kicks in, the sound quality is absolutely fine. Visually G+ to VG.I intended to put sound clips of both sides up but every time I record No Time, the record plays perfectly but the recording keeps skipping so I'm working on that. There should be a full sound clip of Can't Get Over These Memories below. I'll consider offers over £1000 for this one, but I'm not sure how long I'm going to run it for just yet. Probably a week. One of the few copies of this to ever come up for sale.

No it's a fault on the master. There were lots of these around before it started to become popular, the purple Rika ones are all originals. I'll try and find the recording so you can hear it.

Yours will have it as well John! Just before the record starts. Have a listen.

EX £100 SOLD EX £325 SOLD MINT £375 SOLD NEAR MINT £200 SOLD (HELD) post free in the UK cheers Pete

I remember a period in 1977 where I bought 3 copies of that in 6 weeks at Wigan, it was always £8 for some reason. Every copy had the weird noise at the start. I played one on saturday and that had it as well. DJ Honky did a cd a few years back of his dj set and he played this, you can hear it on his copy too.

No idea Robb, I think she was just interested in his story, not a writer as far as I know

Every copy has that at the start. Just before and as it starts.
