He'll still insist on it being 76 despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary

And me. Too much football on to miss.

The Portobello Road shop seems to have been a dumping ground for Sue and Island 45's, I couldn't estimate how many red and white Island's I've seen with that stamp, but it's "lots".

Thanks Sean - that's exactly what it's meant to be. I shall keep adding to it until I run out of "interesting" ones. And not take the easy option by nicking scans from other peoples records. Except cajun hart

I always struggle to get even £30 for this. Though I'm not surprised never seen an issue. I'll ask Mick Smith, I think he's got a demo in his box for 30-40 quid.

Heard this record hundreds of times. I've never believed this rumour. Why would a barking dog be in a recording studio?

Thanks chaps. The Benny Latimore doesn't owe me anything so I'll probably just reduce it until it goes.

I'll take 250 on the Benny Latimore if anyone wants it

Rhyming slang at the pressing plant!

Must have been a fairly big batch, I've never rated this as being a rare record, I must have had ten copies over the years, all of a sudden it's over £100 - it's a joke really.

I think I may have actually started a topic on here when I had the US demo saying how scarce I thought it was...

Mint one £20

No I already knew. Thats why I said it was an original

true

Might have been in Black Music.

It says M 164 DUKOFF

I think back in the mid 70's she was asked about and said she couldn't remember recording it.

Thanks Steve. I had actually pencilled it in at 300. The other one, I think it's probably worth 500 but I was going to try maybe 400, quick sale sort of thing.

Am a bit confused over the prices of a couple of records I am selling BENNY LATIMORE - RAIN FROM THE SKIES / I CAN'T GO ON ANYMORE - BLADE John Manship has this at 500 but Brown has it at 125 LEON HAYWOOD - BABY RECONSIDER - FAT FISH DEMO John Manship has it at 650 while Tim Brown has it at 175 Massive contradictions there, any advice please? Also how much should I ask for PAUL SMITH - I'LL RUN / AIN'T THAT SOMETHING - JACKLYN all records 100% original obviously thanks if anyone can help

Yeah they all seem to be well used.

Well they've all got the date printed on them so you'll know for definite when it was released

Sounds fair to me - £25-£30.
