    He replied to me, said he was sold it as an original and will add a note saying it's a reissue. Well done seller.

    shocking...second class postage on one record can be done for under a quid

    I'm going through tracks now and I've already found one that is so horrible that I can't even bear to listen to it. Blanche Carter - Halos Are For Angels.

    ...and what did he say?
  5. Pete S
    Maybe when you add the missing words it makes a new phrase or saying which gives a clue to the killers of JFK?

    I'm going to do a podcast of these 'forgotten' and 'banished' records, tonight or tomorrow, you'll either love it or hate it I guess..
  7. Pete S
    Never!

    It's Alton & Tommy McCook and pals messing around I think...

    Have a read of the description...it's 100% bootleg - I think it's bad when the seller guarantees it to be a 100% original and it's totally the opposite https://www.ebay.co.u...61993932&_rdc=1

    Don't know but the topic on David Bowie and Northern Soul will possibly tell you you're here again not reading the topics aren't you

    The Treasure Isle version of Alton Ellis is miles better - IN MY OPINION Keith Blake is fantastic, I"ve actually got that. It will never be sold.

    Same here, I've just had to go through all mine and save the ones I call my 'desert island discs' I ended up with 110 of them, put them in a box, meaning I'll be selling about 150 quality items next few weeks, or 250+ if I include all my red and white Island 45's.

    I've noticed there are a lot of records like this starting to get more recognition mainly from the Soul collectors as the Soul dries up, because of course it's only that Reggae beat that stops this from being a soul record - the voice is fantastic.
  16. Pete S
    That's true..

    The Teardrops. I sold that a couple of years ago but it is the same recording as The Viceroys isn't it? Well that's how I described it anyway. I'll try and find out if there's another version of that Amalgamated 45, but it's very very confusing. Firstly, it's definitely Glen Adams not Ernest Wilson. And it also came out on UK Island at the same time as the Amalgamated 45. The Jamaican label was a short lived Bunny Lee thing called Soul Shot.

    But Rod bought the record going by the photo of the record which looked like a UK pressed record but no detail of it could be seen except for the outline. I do think I would be able to tell the difference between a Jamaican record, which will always have a centre hole, and a UK one, which will either have a solid centre, a centre that can be pushed out, and one that has had the centre pushed out but the indents where the centre was can be seen.

    I think it was one of those that only lasted a month to be honest.

    Sorry I meant the really big stores, HMV etc. I also used to have to order records until smaller, specialist shops started opening.
  21. Pete S
    That is exactly the point, all of these records that people disregard with utter contempt nowadays were part of our introduction to the scene back in the days when it was more about dancing than matrix numbers. I'm not going to sit here and say yeah The Present, The Poppies, Rain, I used to like them but now I've seen the error of my ways and I know I'm not supposed to like them now so I'll say they're rubbish. Sod that, I like what I like and if that makes me any lesser person than someone who likes rubbish like Dolly Gilmore than so be it.
  22. Pete S
    Where are they going to retail them then?
  23. Pete S
    But surely you could research that to find out what sort of music it is?
  24. Pete S
    The Gas one is the one with strings. Best version.
  25. Pete S
    All the records you mention (except Rodger Collins) were reissues of that period but they might not have been stocked in anything but the bigger stores and specialist shops, they were all on legitimate UK reissues and the shop owner would have been able to look them up in a book like Music Master to ascertain if they were deleted or not, and then order the records in, all the record shops had these books at the time.
