BRITISH... THE STRANGE BROS SHOW - SHAKEY JAKES - POLYDOR (EX) £25 Big club sound, lot of people don't even realise this was issued in the UK IKE & TINA TURNER - SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME - LONDON DEMO (M-) £20 Superb version THE 5TH DIMENSION - TOO POOR TO DIE - LIBERTY (EX-) £25 You never see this on UK original. Few light pops right at start otherwise fine. THE RAMBLETTES - ON BACK STREET - BRUNSWICK DEMO (EX) £25 Extremely rare and obscure but ultimately useless version of The Toys song BOB & EARL (BOBBY GARRETT) - I CAN'T GET AWAY - JAYBOY (M-) £25 Credited to Bob & Earl but it's a second take of the Bobby Garrett number using the same backing track. I've played them both over the top of each other and the only difference is a few more "baby's" and "ughs" from the singer.

JAMAICAN CLASSIC – THE DOCTOR BIRD LABEL A great label for the collector and listener, Doctor Bird was set up by Graeme Goodall in 1966 as part of the Direct / Rio record label set up. They licensed product from virtually all of the top Jamaican producers with the exception of Prince Buster. Issuing around 200 singles between 1966 and 1969, I swear I never even saw a Doctor Bird label in the flesh until the early 80’s, even though some releases, such as DB 1001 Joe White & Chuck, are amongst the biggest selling UK Jamaican releases ever. There’s quality throughout the series and although UK productions tend to dominate the very last releases, the Doctor Bird label is a goldmine for anyone interested in the classic sounds of the mid to late 60’s. This compilation comes from records in my own collection, sorry there aren’t more but I sold over 100 a few years ago. All tracks taken from vinyl 45’s.

1) There is no styrene copy 2) John Anderson sold out of the blue print originals so got the owner to repress 500 copies from the original plates, these are the black print copies. He told me this 5 minutes ago and he also told me last year and I posted it up.

I've done a video, only 10 seconds long but to big to post up here, it's on my facebook page though

Selling the records separately isn't ripping anyone off though. I know very well I can buy a box set but I only want one track, George Kirby, so I'm happy to pay £30 for that because the rest of the records wouldn't get played cos I've either already got them or don't need them.

Anyone heard of this before? R Dean taylor - There's A Ghost In My House / Let's Go Somewhere - Canadian Motown VIP 25042. Now I'm presuming this coincides with the 1974 UK issue. This isn't about Ghost though, it's about Let's Go Somewhere. As you know, it starts off with some cymbal tapping and a piano riff, then he goes on to do a spoken passage "We all have lives to live on our own etc". Well not on this one: you get the cymbals, the piano riff and then it just smashes straight into the song "As I'm walking down the street". And it sounds utterly fantastic. I've never heard of this edited version before, it belongs to Rob Haigh (it's his record) and he doesn't know of another one either. Familiar to anyone or not? (Original VIP release has time as 2:51 same as this, but this is a good 10 seconds shorter despite showing the same time)

NORTHERN SOUL 50 – A PETE SMITH SPECIAL Disaster struck last night, my beloved Citronic disco decks died on me, the left turntable kept slowing down and speeding up – so I had to abandon the mix I was doing (about an hour of it was recorded so I may still post that). Anyway after sulking for 10 minutes I wondered if I could set up a couple of decks and a mixer, which I did, and to pay tribute to my old decks I did a Northern stompers special…it might be a bit rough and ready and badly mixed, and there’s a bit of electrical static on there as well I think but hey what the heck, loads of top tunes here. Not sure what the sound quality is like throughout but the bits I did listen to are ok. This morning, a friend showed me how to fix the problem with the old decks, and it worked. All hail Ozz and my old Citronic decks.
