As decent records ran out more like. If there were still enough good records, crossover wouldn't need to exist. Just my opinion Dave, please allow me that on a public forum.
-
Nooooooooooooooooooo!
-
Could you just exaggerate a little bit more please? I was giving some kind of background info on a writer that most people on here won't have heard of. Honestly, people coming from nowhere under aliases just to try and make a decent article sound like a hatchet job. What's the point? p.s. I'm afraid I've been an "authority" on British releases for 30 years, I didn't just award myself a title.
-
Okay, so a record that was poor 40 years ago is suddenly great because it's A side is too played out?
-
I am deadly serious.
-
B sides crap...thats why nobody played it
-
What does it matter, nobody knows who he was, or is, the original post says that he took one copy of every record, we don't know if he was given permission to take it or just took it, but seeing as this was 1966 and it's in a defunct factory which no longer exists, and most of the employees and bosses are dead, who actually cares? And if you think record collectors aren't in some way eccentric... it's a great article and it does the record and Darrell Banks justice.

I did, circa 2005. Got it off Ebay. I was the only bidder. Sold it to my mate John for £400. Came back to me and it went to Mick Smith for trades, he still has it. Meanwhile, it "book" at £450.

Sanity?
-
And still nobody's found another copy...as far as I know
-
They are good but you keep asking the same one which I already answered, and the answers are all over the original thread as well.
-
Yeah I did actually, and if you read the original thread, I also asked him if I could use his photos, as did the people from 45 Cat, and he said yes, so get down off your high horse for goodness sake
-
So the most important record discovery ever should be kept to a web forum and no one else should know about it? He only wanted no publicity in that he didn't want to talk to a journalist, he exposed himself and the record in the first place, not me or The Guardian.
-
Nothing wrong with asking questions.
-
But he posted it on here and gave us all photographs of it, and asked for people to verify it, because he didn't want anyone to know he'd got it? Within 60 seconds it was worldwide news.
-
So do you think we're being had here? The scans looked conclusive didn't they? As I said to someone last night - if it is a scam, at least nobody got killed so it's not the end of the world.
-
I'm going to post this out to my mailing list and facebook.

If Kev heard Joe Matthews, then he obviously heard it, but I would also have said it was much later, 75 at the earliest. I think RS was the only one at Wigan who had Joe Matthews and I never heard him play it until 77!
-
This one...
-
I don't know, but it's his perogative. This is why I said at the start of this thread, don't anyone moan at me for supplying a quote or the basis of the article when the main man wasn't available for comment.

Darrell Banks - Open The Door To Your Heart 2014 London
Pete S replied to a topic in Look At Your Box

Thanks, I agree, it was very un-cringeworthy, at last.
-
No, I was asked if I could get Nick to talk to The Guardian but he said he didn't want to at this point in time: so then Bob asked if he could quote me as he was going to do the piece anyway, so I said of course he could, I've known him for 25 years . I think he did a great job. Incidentally, I also had Record Collector magazine asking if I would put them in touch with Nick but I told them the same as I told Bob, he didn't want to do it.
-
No mate sorry...
-
Ask him what's on the B side of Willie Kendricks and is it an original
