How many were pressed - thousands - how many were sold - not many - still not worth more than £500 though

I've thought of one - Bok To Bach - never had that

But why? Susan Barrett is worth £175, Lorraine Chandler £150

Bought myself a Christmas present...there's 196 of them altogether

Well there's hundreds I've never had but actually ones that I want or wanted, there's nothing I've not had now I don't think. Trouble is, the hunt is the exciting part, once I've got them I tend to sell them on, mission accomplished

Most of them are overpriced to the point of hilarity. Chris Jackson £100+, I've listed one TWICE for £25 and got no takers.

Surely there can't be a worse record than Hamilton Movement?

Post extra Right let's see if I can find you all a bargain in the run up to Christmas. All originals except the last two, all reduced. Please PM if interested, cheers.

Wow - 6th - in the world! Thanks to all who listen in to my Friday night ramblings :-) Hey Pete I'm emailing you with some good news just before Christmas!

You don't, it's shocking

I don't know if Doug was the singer but I saw his name on two different Cajun Hart records so I sort of put two and two together, it seems Cajun Hart was actually a band

Cajun Hart IS the Pink Panther Songwriter, composer, pianist, author and carpenter – Doug Goodwin is a man of many talents, a man who has written a number of songs you definitely will have heard of and also the man behind a record that is up there with the very best Northern Soul classics. Charles Douglas Goodwin was born on 21st April 1929 and enjoyed a musical upbringing with private piano lessons alongside his day-to-day schooling. He saw service in the early 1950s as part of the US Army Special Services in Korea where he was pianist in the band. After his service was completed he trained as a carpenter whilst simultaneously honing his songwriting skills. His songwriting career was by no means an overnight success though by the early 1960s he caught the eye, or rather the ear, of Joe Barbera from the legendary Hanna-Barbera production studios and started working on the musical accompaniment for assorted HB cartoons including The Flintstones, Yogi Bear and the Pink Panther. Whilst the Pink Panther theme we all know and love was written by Henri Mancini, the cartoon theme song (which you are sure to be familiar with) came from the pen of Doug Goodwin – you know the one: have you ever seen a panther that is pink, think, a panther that is positively pink? We’re probably doing Mr. Goodwin a disservice focusing mainly on the Pink Panther theme here as he’s also written literally hundreds of other songs including the fantastically titled ‘Is Chinese Food in the Stars Tonight?’ However for us, and this is purely personal, Doug’s finest hour came with the composition of the legendary ‘Got to Find a Way (To Find You)’ by Cajun Hart (or Cajun Heart depending on which issue you have) a record that has remained prohibitively expensive for a number of years now and also, uncannily, seems to sound better with age. The origins of the band Cajun Hart are little known which in a way kind of adds to the mystique but we know who wrote it and what a great job he did. Have a listen to a truly great record and also raise a glass to a truly great songwriter. Doug Goodwin to our knowledge is still around and as we understand still in rude health and hopefully still writing great music – perhaps he’s not quite as prolific as he was in his younger days but we’ll forgive him that and wish him a continued long and healthy retirement.

As you know I posted for you 3 weeks ago Denise, there was never any doubt that this was an original copy...

Here are the full scans, finally got Denise to use a scanner :-) Remember where you saw them first :-)

No idea why anyone would argue anyway, it's been as plain as the nose on everyone's face that it was real from the off....

A better Nashville Matrix photo

Here's another one again I can't do anything to improve the quality sorry

Just one point - I don't take these photos - I'm just sent them over and asked if I could post them - I know how to use macro on my camera. I suggested a proper scan of the record (done on a scanner, obviously) which can then be lightened so that you see absolutely everything but not heard anything about that yet.

If anyone needs to contact the seller for any reason, here's the details dwdm1977@gmail.com or my store page Melodies & Memories on facebook if you can add it. If I need to be contacted.
