I'd pay good money for one of those but not sure how easy it is to get blanks

Where can one buy a studio lathe?

I did mate, thanks, and as far as I know nobody's bothered faking acetates by Don Spencer, Freddie & The Dreamers, The Ladybirds, Russ Sainty and the Barron Knights, cos all those were in there...

Didn't look like that to me, thats why he quoted Connie Clark, and of course there's a version of the Connie Clark instrumental with Do I Love YOu lyrics

Christ I'd sell it for £15

How's it fooling folks, if everyone knows it was never released as a single? There's loads of instances of this: Supertime, Just Walk In My Shoes etc lp tracks pressed as singles

What he means is that it's the same record basically with different lyrics

Well that's me f*cked I just bought 10 grands worth of acetates cut at Abbey Road in the 60's, how stupid am I?

It's ok, I know

I know what you mean but I still can't agree, let's say they took what I consider to be possibly the greatest Northern record ever, Please Let me In, and they put it on adverts and played it on the radio all the time, I could never go off it or call it too commercial because it is and always will be a fabulous record.

No he doesn't

Absolutely agree with you and constantly defend it against people who just say "it's crap" when it has got absolutely everything needed to make a great Northern Soul dance record

Well fair enough but what's actually rarer? What actual vinyl pressed record is rarer cos I can't think of one except maybe The Inspirations?

I agree, that Willie Hutch / James Conwell Jr boot is super rare, as is that Sugar Pie Honey Bunch thing credited to The Detroit Shakers on Brainstorm records I posted up a while back, yellow label, only ever seen one copy

What hype Chalky, it hyped itself. I told Denise when she first told me about this, just let me post this on five or six facebook groups then it will take on a life of it's own. That's what I did, that's what happened. All word of mouth.

Up For Auction THE POETS – WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER – J 2 RECORDS 45-J2-1302 An absolutely lovely copy, I’d grade this at EX as an absolute minimum – there are no marks, scratches, pop, anything – the only down side is a small rub on the raised part of the label on the A side only. The B side has a very small mark which does not affect play. The minimum bid is £2500 and I will run this until Tuesday night (January 16th) at 8pm UK time. I will keep everyone informed as to what the highest bid is but I won’t accept any bids under £25 increments. My email is pete.smith@freeuk.com if you need to get in touch. If you are on Facebook or Soul Source and want to make an offer, please send me a PM, thank you. Good luck. Pete Smith
