That's what I was trying to say with that podcast I did today. Banished Northern. Records we like/liked now considered persona non grata. Shame.

No mention of it being a reissue, you'd have to know the original doesn't have the inst on the back - starting price £70...

I personally think anyone paying more than £200 for it is a mug...but that doesn't seem to matter anymore, presumably someone auctioned one for a daft price now all the sheep want one and think it's a rare record

My Dad collects old clocks, look forward to seeing pics

Sometimes when you buy records from Craig Moerer, they come with Dutch postmarks on them. Sorry, not Swedish I'm afraid but just as weird.

I think it's a great record but - once again - the point is that if we were tio discuss this record, then 90% of people would claim it was white garage rock and they never ever liked it in the first place and all copies should be melted down!

What seriously, someone played The Flasher?

Andy you (and presumably anyone else who's going to comment and say I've heard so and so somewhere) are missing the point though, These are records we're constantly told that we shouldn't be listening to. Not black enough, not soulful enough. I like more or less all of the records on this list and I think it's a shame that they're always slagged off.

Yeah I bet you've all danced to The Flasher lately haven't you

I have card facilities and I don't charge people extra for using them, therefore I'd be in the wrong to charge people for using paypal as it's the same thing really. However I am lucky in that 99% of people will send the paypal to me as a gift because they know they've nothing to worry about. If I were having to pay for it every time, I might literally go back to cheques and cash. Mal C was right earlier, many shops DO charge you for using card facilities and have a minimum £10 spend. Not a lot of difference really.

Loads of people asked me this, how do you download the podcasts off Mixcloud, and I always replied that you can't - it's listen only - but Dave O and Chalky both told me of a way to download so here it is You can download a mixcloud using www.offliberty.com Copy and paste the URL into the blank box, click on the link below, of in a black box, and it will download. (In other words, go to the page of the podcast you want, copy it's address at the top - right click, copy - then paste it into the box) good luck Pete

13 of those came out of my all time favourites box!

Here you go Benji You can download a mixcloud using offliberty.com. Copy and paste the URL into the blank box, click on the link below, of in a black box, and it will download.

Don't think so mate, too big. But you can download it off mixcloud. Chalky and Dave O told me how to do it, I'll try and find the info and post it here in a minute

Steve that copy I had (should be a lic of it on the mixcloud site) is the only copy I've ever seen and whatever the quality of the record, I rate it as being as hard to find as anything else I've ever had, stock copy as well. You know there's no vocals on that one on Scepter though right? You can hear the vocals in the distant background at times. I've no idea why this was released as the A side has no connection to the B side, different artist, music type etc.

I've done a podcast to go with this thread, it may or not be of interest to you... Here are the outcasts; the records that used to be loved but now are shunned by the Northern Soul Jet Set. Yet they all had their day once upon a time. Why exactly they became untouchables can be put down to a number of factors. The record was popular but quickly bootlegged, thus ending it’s life as a top sound; the record turned out to be less hard to find than as first though, so was dropped for being too common; the record became unfashionable with soul connoisseurs because it was too “white” sounding (a case with The Poppies record, which is a bit daft considering they were black girls); maybe the record was a one or two week wonder, played, peaked and dropped; or maybe the record was just total shit in the first place. What is for sure though is that it’s peer pressure from those ‘in the know’ that stops many of these fine records being played out by frightened DJ’s. “You’re gonna play WHAT???” Anyway here’s a selection of ex-Monsters, the majority of which have been gathering dust since the late 70’s and are rarely if ever heard out at venues in 2013.

Gene, want to buy some magic beans?

Best listened to with the sound off

Work it out between you. When I pay someone privately i.e. not Ebay, I always send as a gift because if you have credit in there, there's no charge usually.

Must have gone on holiday to Wigan then cos he played it there..

Copy it from Excel and paste it into a Word document as Plain Text and that should work

The reason there's demos of the first one or two releases is because it was a different 'series', an earlier one.

Also had a Paul Anka - When We Get There on red Canadian RCA a couple of years ago. Was surprised so many people asked for it. Then again, I listed it for £25...

He can add additional information but can't change the main text I think
