John Manship Auction Results 12-2-2014
The owner shouldn't have to pay the sellers vat for him though, if he sells it for £1000 the owner gets £800.

Johnny Thunder - I'm Alive - Calla
I honestly thought he was white, I might be thinking of someone else, did a load of singles on Diamond Records, some pretty good beat ballads.

This Is Just Like The Sister Funk Stuff Being Played At The Moment
I see. Yes I guess so, it's ok. I thought you meant we should all go out and dance to it, apologies for misinterpreting. You'd be surprised what I listen to to be honest...though to be fair, it doesn't include a lot of soul music. Lot of Northern maybe.

Pile of sh*te Why would anyone into Northern want to hear stuff 'similar' to this played?

Johnny Thunder - I'm Alive - Calla
JOHNNY THUNDER - I'M ALIVE / VERBAL EXPRESSIONS OF TV - CALLA 161 NEAR MINT £40. I nicked this description from an Ebay sale as I'd never set eyes on it until I found it 2 minutes ago. JOHNNY THUNDER A: I'm Alive B: Verbal Expressions Of T.V. [CALLA 161, US] Listen to this below if you don't know it! When it all comes down to it, this is the ULTIMATE and only version of "I'm Alive" that matters. All other versions (Don Fardon, The Clique, Tommy James, Blue Swede, Claude Francois, E.R. & The Rough Riders etc.) are weak, wimpy and pale into insignificance when compared to this version. Johnny Thunder screams his head off over a fuzz-drenched punchy backing track. Truly essential stuff that always fills the dancefloor. Equally good flipside as well. Don't miss out! In absolutely jawdropping M- condition. Vinyl condition: M-

John Manship Auction Results 12-2-2014
I had One Minute Every Hour come on during a random itunes session recently and it sounded fantastic, someone went out of there way to get a real 60's sound on that one. Happy youth club memories.

Not true mate, I Didn't Know How To was a Stafford tune and most people heard it via one of the Northern Soul Story LP's back in 1988, it was always more sought after to start with. Then the other one overtook it.

John Manship Auction Results 12-2-2014
I'd have thought everyone who wanted it would have already got it, it's been big for 15 years, amazed he got more than £300 for it - plus their other one is miles better

Doing Me Head In
Nowhere near as good and sounds half finished, rarity over quality again.

Comedy Sale Of The Day
What! It's even got it's centre knocked out. I'd pay £5 tops for that. In fact I wouldn't touch it with no centre. I sell it regularly for £15. Maybe someone heard me play it on the radio or on my podcast on sunday / monday and it's gone mental

Contempo-Raries Series - Solid And 4-Prong Centres
Dave that's not quite correct, I've had a few early 60's Decca's with solid centres, at first glance I thought they were from Hong Kong or somewhere like that but they were definite UK pressings - possibly for overseas market, but to all intents and purposes, they were the same as the push out centre ones. I think one was by Karl Denver! * nb also had solid centre demos - I had John E Paul as a solid centre demo

Wrong side of Town
It does, though you could have used a better example like Heartache Avenue LOL but the difference is, that was produced commercially in quantities of thousands and got in the charts, Four Vandals ORIGINALLY was known by 2 or 3 copies hence it being included on the NS scene due to it's "rarity"
