I don't remember this picture, I just found it, obviously I remember the other pictures of me attacking the record with a sander, a knife, running it over and then setting it on fire...

Never came out on Soul Fox or Soul Galore, are you thinking of something else? There is an inst of Stronger Than her LOve which was supposed to come out on Destiny but didn't, knocking around on a few acetates.

actually an interesting topic

Have a look at this Phil...is this the sort of thing? Pictures on left side https://www.amazon.co.uk/Reggae-45-Soundsystem-Singles-Jamaican/dp/0955481791/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1383841505&sr=1-3&keywords=sound+system

oh well!

Yes about the same as ever Steve, thanks :-)

Oh yes!

Ooh Steve thats f*cking awful that Sister lee instrumental, Andy Rix gave it me ages ago and although it starts off great, it does nothing for the entire record...

Didn't Stereolab use one of those, they even wrote a song about it

oops

I found a copy of Anthony & The Aqualads in a second hand ship in Eastbourne in the 90's.

That's an impossible statement to back up Tony, because you or nobody else knows that. There are records hidden everywhere. I bought a Court Davis off a pop list from Swindon once, it was listed as a Gene Pitney soundalike. Nobody knew it was there before that.

Blimey there are some cryptic clues going around here

tough girl v/i get it baby / down in the dumps same old thing v/i loads of mirwood ones, all brilliant

Dunno for definite, 800 quid maybe? The blue ones are pretty common, honestly, there's two different blue reissues, there's also a green reissue and a recent one on Outasite. OH and one on a white Suemi as well.

If someone would like to give me 70 for mine that would be 60 more than I usually sell it for

Is the record the first one on the podcast?

Sure is...:-)

Wonder who knocked that up, they got the spelling of Barrett Strong's name wrong on the cover

I wouldn't mind a UK demo if anyone's got one going cheap
