Are you mixing up Hey Sah Lo Ney with Nobody But Me (thats the one that goes no no no no no no)?

I really like that. And I really like Stemmons Express.

It's not bad but hearing people clapping at the end of Love Hustle does make you think..actually Mark, big disappointment today, old mate of mine said he had ten or so Wigan tapes and they arrived today, unfortunately, at least 5 of them were recorded by - ME!

Is that who it is, La Brenda Ben, I always had it as Norma Jenkins!

It's a little like braille, but don't worry, there is no boot of that record on the cream label with red lettering.

Don't worry, if it's cream, it's real..

Yeah it was a Russ set. Also played Esko Affair and Helen Shapiro. I'm pretty sure it wasn't all that bad though. Me and Mr C used to enjoy Alan Rhodes' spots I remember.

Actually I have a Keith Minshull spot from Mach 11th 78 as bad as this featuring Black Power, Tim Tam, loads of UK versions of things..

I'm not joking, I went to Wigan every single week in 1978 until the middle of August, and I remember it as being pretty good, not as good as 76 and 77 but still good, but I just got a "fresh" Wigan live tape and I'm listening to one of the worst spots I've ever heard - not all bad, but some of the choices are spectacularly bad, needless to say I spent most of those 78 nights gabbing to people rather than dancing.

You are anyway as there's no boots of the WD

Peter is a very gay sounding name. Pete

No I wasn't seriously suggesting Collectors Corner but even that is better than LAYB.

Yes, truly fantastic but with the worst name for a forum of all time I reckon... collectors corner would have been better than Look At Your Box.

Was booted long long ago though, circa 75 - demo is very rare, and usually found in VG nick.

Well done Carl, really pleased for you and the artists.

I thought those were boots to be honest. They look better than the originals.

Oh my God

Yep, pity on the rest of us poor clueless wretches. We can only aspire to these great heights. * I make this comment because I am not happy with the insinuation that anyone else running an auction is untrustworthy.

Blimey, talk about exaggerating. He's absolutely spot on in everything he says. There should not be any sacred cows.

Not the same though: Dave was just reviewing them on their qualities, John's got to try and sell them to us

Jay Wiggins - Sad Girl - f*cking amazing, charted as well I think

Opposite of what he says in both cases.

Chi Lites - Have you seen her (1023) Jackie Wilson - I'm the one to do it / Higher and higher (1012) Jackie Wilson - You bought about a change in me / For once in my life (1017) Jackie Wilson - Nothing but blue skies / Sweetest feeling (1022) don't think those were mentioned yet

OK are we ready to do a gold Brunswick label listing yet then or are there more titles to be added I wonder?
