It all started back in 2011 I got a phone call from Nige Brown telling me he heard a sound bite on ebay of a record he thought had something special and he would like my opinion on it before he set his bid View full article

It was a hard record to find Gareth, nearly all copies were doubles sided demos of the A side "Score", in fact I don't think I had one for 30 years until someone found a small batch of unsold store stock about 6 years back and I bought 3 copies, one of which I still have. I have one recorded spin of it at Wigan (11/3/78) by Russ and I think it was played locally round our way, otherwise it's been deleted from the history books (it only made the Manship guide with this latest edition). Me and Mr. C used to love it at the time though.

It bloomin' well does Gareth, well said!

Yeah and I'm still waiting for buyer and seller to buy me a drink for setting it up...

Theme from Simon Locke

Happy to help Mark. Poor singer, rubbish song, bad production, it's hardly Eddie Parker is it? And I am consistant - I said this 7 or 8 years ago when they were all raving over it.

Those boots are worth 10 - 15 quid. Terrible record.

No way on earth is it worth £200. If the one I had hadn't been pristine, it would have been £125.

Footsee

Never reissued as far as I know Liam, they are just made at a different plant.

He's not been on the site since the 9th Pete

You asked for it! Love the comment below the video "This is the kind of sh*t you listen to when you are hacking up your family."

Was asked about label of Ringleaders

Anyone notice Danny Baker even get the name of the Stylistics lead singer wrong at the end... "In the words of Russell Thompson Jr". Very poor.

That's right, it's pure country and western...

They do but Jaybirds isn't rare, good, but not rare

I sold an UNPLAYED issue for £150 on here 2 weeks ago.

In other words, the best studio musicians on the West Coast. Still amazed that anyone can consider this track as being rubbish.

Obviously didn't read my posts...the rock and the pop nights were excellent

Oh well...

Phil it's the first track on this thread, go back to post number one

* funnily enough someone's just reported me as a non-paying buyer, thing is, he listed the postage at $6 then when I went to pay, he'd invoiced the postage at $26. I argued that I wouldn't have bid if I'd known he was going to change the postage, he's not bothered.

You've got no choice - start the non-paying buyer precedure
