Pleasure mate.

Interesting you should say that, but I couldn't stay 18 and love stompers forever

I'd never heard of it, I'd just got these 30 or so records arrive and Mick Smith says to me, there's one on there I'd like, I'll give you £100 for it, so trusting soul that I am, I let him have it. I was still overjoyed at finding Theresa Lindsey "It's Love" in the 30 records LOL I've had about ten of those since. I think Mick sold it to Keb next day for 500, and it eventually went to JM, might be wrong.

Possibly my greatest ever selling mistake. £100

Thanks for the opinions, very interesting as always, but when you're selling for someone else you have to do your best for them, so you can't sell it too cheap - by the same token, you don't want to price it so high that nobody buys it.

Fair enough - I have finished episode 2, £500 to you, full ownership rights included

If you have nothing better to do, I've just discovered that these podcasts are still online and available to listen to or download, I thought I'd closed down the account. Whatever you think of the choices, they're good to listen to with the old radio jingles mixed in. https://planetrecords.podbean.com/

There's loads like that which have just been hammered so much that they've turned into 'handbag' records. Because Of You - Jackie Wilson is another one.

Mamie Lee used to be so common that you couldn't give it away, £2, £3 tops. You'd never have believed it could be 50 quid. Didn't know they had reversed labels (that's the Servicemen on Patheway isn't it) but I don't have the record here, someone wanted me to sell it for them.

It wasn't, it was Richard Paul. Like Grant says - he plays it on that tape.

No Joe, what I mean is, up to 1960, all the London/Brunswick/RCA/Vogue demos came as two one sided discs, as a pair, so you need to have both the A side disc and the B side disc, but over time, they got split up and you usually only ever find one of the sides. To really be able to say you've got the demo you have to have both sides, but yeah I do it to, sell things as one sided demos, I've got a few orange London ones, Bobbettes etc.

Great, thanks Paul. So I suppose I should be looking to sell at £600 maybe?

If I were to have a copy of the above record for sale in excellent condition, how much do you think I should list it for - book price being 700 quid. And would anyone be interested in buying it maybe? cheers Pete

Yeah he always has been mate

It wasn't her, it was a guy who used to be on my mailing list, sorry but forgot the name

No but Paul's right, for it to be a proper demo you need both sides really.

Amendment to original post: THERE ARE 200 JAMAICAN ORIGINALS AND REISSUES AS WELL AS THOSE ABOVE, TREASURE ISLE, STUDIO ONE, COXSONE, STRIKER LEE, CALTONE, PRINCE BUSTER ETC INCLUDING ORIGINAL BLANKS

Think so Ady, just had it in the back on my mind when he said the title, I might be wrong...

Because in this case the seller knew which of his records were original or reissues and described them as such - except for this one Can't stand this record, going to add it to the 'worst Northern' list I think

Karen.

Do you remember the night though, first ever play for Turley Richards and two plays for Anthony White - Block Party and that terrible Soul Hustler instrumental

I've got the acetate of "Motown" and "Sonny", label is the same as the one above but looks to be in a bit better shape

Don't worry mate, I've still got stacks of 'em. There's a couple here if you want to listen to them: The first one was from Feb 77, pretty sure you weren't there that night, the second one there was just me and you, it wasa very quiet saturday night so we sat on the stage for the only time ever and I recorded it from there, you'll probably hear yourself. That was the night you met that girl from Partington.

Rod, it's The Flash Brothers - Baby Doll. I think.
