I know.

Can't remember who it was, but I sold a demo to someone on here not realising it was a demo, and he took the time to PM take the piss out of me for selling a demo so cheap!

I sold one on behalf of (may want to remain nameless) 3 years back, it was broken in half more or less, two separate pieces of record. I stuck it back together. Got £120 for it.

I bet it's THE Russ, looks like a test pressing, must be extremely rare - I'd expect it to fetch at least £4.99

Sent you PM rather than continuing on here mate

That footage comes from Ian Levine's SWONS documentary, it was one of the extras on the DVD version and is in way better quality on the actual DVD.

I reckon that sold for double actual value.

I had one of those recently - a soaking wet parcel, record was alright, most of the cardboard had disintegrated

I dunno mate, never seen it for sale, now that Ian Levine is featuring it I was kind of expecting it to pick up a bit of interest. I'd take 50 for it, I'm never going to play it.

I didn't understand the post Chalky, it lists artists, recordings and master numbers but doesn't actually mention The Stranger...

I think it depends on the title. Experience tells us (me) that something like Rufus Wood was pressed in a small quantity maybe 200, 300. Tainted Love must have sold at least 20,000 copies on Champion bootleg. I would have thought most bootlegs were pressed in quantities of either 1000 or 2000 at the height of Northern's popularity 74-77. Obviously I only base this on what I see.

The Marvelettes did The Stranger, according to my friend Ian.

If not I can play it you Mark, I picked one up at the weekend myself

Lets Do The Duck came out on Stephanye with the same song on the other side.

I've got a mint copy of this - it's my own copy, I've absolutely no idea what to ask for it so you're welcome to make me an offer, I will sell it because I don't really like it much!

BTW means By The Way

100% bootleg

Still there and active

I had one of those, it was rubbish, but the cleaning fluid that came with it was good

Mr Andy Rix once sent me the instrumental of this, the actual backing track. I'm sure he'll agree, it was one of the most boring instrumentals you'll ever hear!

Quite right, it's a Catacombs oldie, never been off the radar since I got on the scene really. Even though first time I heard it I thought it was called "It's the beat" sold it for £300 about 18 months back
