I think this may have been played at the Catacombs

Yeah I know mate, sorry, it was discussed on the thread about my latest podcast and I remembered / realised then one I found out what the A side was, that I'd had the record at least 3 times in the last ten years but never played the B side!

p.s. has anyone ever noticed that I've Got To Have Your Love sounds like a slowed down version of The Deadbeats - No Second Chance - the intros are the same

Maybe thats what this WD is then, but the blue stamp on it makes it look authentic, or 'old' anyway

I didn't realise I'd had this several times and never played it - it's on the B side of Choo Choo Ska on Island 262, and I only rate that at £15...might be easier to find than most. Vocal is by Busty Brown.

The long awaited return of the Found In The Basement series! Well long awaited by the three people who asked me to start doing them again. If you've not heard any of these compilations before, it's an imaginary box of records found in an imaginary basement - the sort recurring dream that I have...and it features great 45's from the 60's and sometimes the late 50's: Rockabilly, Freakbeat, Mod, Rhythm & Blues, Psychedelia, Northern Soul and real oddball things such as the Callum Bryce record which older UK listeners will recognize as the Woodpecker Cider advert! You may not like all of these but I can guarantee you'll like some of them. https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/the-return-of-found-in-the-basement/ Meeksville Telephone Answering Machine Message The Buzz - You're Holding Me Down Billy Prager - Everybody's rockin' St Louis Union - English Tea The VIP's - Straight Down To The Bottom (alt. take) Gino Washington - Around The Town Mel Robins - Save It Lans Thelwell - Lonely Night The Rays - Elevator Operator Stevie Wonder - Castles in the Sand Davie Jones with The King Bees - Liza Jane Bill Allen - Please Give Me Something Dale Hawkins - Tornado Wynonie Harris - Lovin' Machine The Afex - She's Got The Time The Mickey Finn - Garden Of My Mind Porter Jordan - Nobody's Boy Joey Heatherton - Hullabaloo Lamont Anthony - I Didnt Know Don Varner - Mojo Mama The Whispers - The Dip Oscar - Club Of Lights Tommy Quickly - You Might As Well Forget Me Thane Russell and Three - Security The Bunch - You Can't Do This Double Feature - Baby Get Your Head Screwed On Shyster - Tick Tock Bill Oddie - I Can't Get Through Callum Bryce - Love Maker Mike Proctor - Mr Commuter Soul Brothers - Ain't No Mountain High Enough Richard Kent Style - Go Go Children Sharon Tandy - Now That You've Gone Elvis Presley - Do The Clam

At one point I hade the acetate, demo and issue of Run Baby Run they just kept cropping up dead cheap on ebay

The thing is with the Jamaican stuff, and especially UK label Reggae, they are that hard to get now that people tend to take them in any shape and form rather than wait for a mint copy to come along, I will take UK reggae labels with no centres, I wouldn't with UK Northern, reason being, the Northern will come around again quick enough. That would also apply to a relatively common record like the Valentinos above, 2 weeks time, another will come along without that writing on the label. But if it's something you're never going to see again, at least not for a long time, buy it.

Ignore, found it on UK Island Sorry don't mean to hijack this but while we're on Jamaican soul - anyone (Tony) know Llans Thelwell - Lonely Night? I thought he was an instrumentalist so I don't know who the voclaist is.

If you don't want critique, then don't post, simple...

No, we won't go there again but when someone will only dance to a record if it's an original I have to comment, sorry. No matter who it is saying it

Yes and when a pressing is played, two separate groups form, the ones who don't dance take the p*ss out of those dancing to the pressing, while those dancing just enjoy themselves dancing!

Why, does it sound different?

He doesn't mean reissue as in reissue/pressing/bootleg, he just means that BoRo was the first local label and Ninandy picked it up for wider distribution, it is not a pressing and you'd be well in the money if you'd picked up all the Ninandy copies!

But they'd be better without them, and if they had concentric circles on like this Valentinos you'd surely look for better ones? This isn't writing on the label like a name or a radio station number, it's a disaster.

Don't pay any more than £75

Got to be honest, if I was buying for myself I wouldn't touch a record with writing on the label like that, I'd rather wait til a decent one comes along, regardless of vinyl condition. It's a bit like buying a British record with the middle knocked out, I just wouldn't be interested in it.

THE END OF OUR LOVE / NANCY WILSON / CAPITOL( HARD TO FIND UK DEMO) / EX / £20.00 Do you mean reissue demo?

I'd probably ask £40 - £50 for that.

Have to say that looks real to me...

Same sort of thing as an ipad.

There must be thousands of boots in circulation, it's been done at least twice, one vinyl, one styrene.

I'm willing to set that up, a section where we can just moan about everything and everyone who annoys us, probably have to be on Facebook though!

I agree Phil, it's only on this site that I get this sh*t though, I've asked before why this is - why people constantly ask for free postage or as you say, when the records are cheap anyway and they know they are cheap, they ask for more money off. I had someone who'd just paid over 2 grand for a record and bragged about it ask me for £10 off a record I had priced at £50 which was already about £20 cheaper than most sell it for.

Literally made me laugh out loud
