No you simply run out of momentum, a spin only last two or three rotations usually, unless you push yourself along which is cheating! If you want to stop dead it's just a case of planting both sets of toes.

Enjoyed that, some good dancers there

The last thing I'd want to do after being musically tortured is hang around for an hour trying to meet the artist. In fact I'd never want to meet any artist, why would I want to do that?

I'd have stuck 100 on it. having said that, I tried 100 with a mint WD of it recently and ended up selling it for 75 - issue is twice as rare as demo though

Is that a black issue Paul, if so it's way underpriced...

Rarest thing I ever found at a boot sale was the Tintern Abbey single on Deram, I knew it was rare but this was pre-price guides, that kind gent Mick Smith relieved me of it for something like £20. It's currently worth a grand. Found a Frankie & Johnny on Decca on the exact same stall 2 weeks later, that was a quid, no centre but was fine. I got the Artwoods LP for 50p from another boot sale in St leonards, wow that was a long time ago, 1989 or 90, same day I got the Julians Treatment LP on Youngblood. Got a Downliners Sect LP about 4 years ago. Got a Guitar Ray on Shagg out of a shop in Dudley for 30p three years ago. Sadly I can't remember the last time I found anything decent at a boot sale, probably because I'm too f*cking lazy to get out of bed on a saturday or sunday morning.

Wonder if this was ever issued - can't remember seeing a stock copy

Cheers mate, that's really, really great to know.

It was...not now though...I haven't had one for 7 or 8 years, a tough one to find

That was brilliant. Some people were just born to do it.

It really is very, very simple to learn how to spin. If you're right footed: stand with feet together, then wrap your left leg round the back of your right leg so that your feet are together but on opposite sides, if you see what I mean. Then push off with the left foot in an anti clockwise direction and immediately go up onto your toes. Now you're spinning. Oops, now you've crashed into the table! But thats how you do it.

What, someone has actually successfully managed to book Little Anthony & The Imperials to play in the UK?

On that Jools Holland clip she sounds like the fantastic Mrs. Miller

I hope they don't do a reggae price guide, you seen the prices they sell them for? Never has so much coffee been spluttered over a computer screen. There aren't any current price guides, a guy from Macclesfield bought one out about 10 years back but obviously thats redundant now. You can't go by popsike either because 50% of the prices are bumped up by fake bidders. There's a fantastic discography called Roots Knotty Roots, it's a database which you could buy on cd, contains both Jamaican and UK releases and you can search by artist/title/label/number/matrix. Not sure this is available in the shops anymore, it was expensive when it came out, you might find someone who'll sell a copy.

Absoloutely nothing wrong with that advert, I do exactly the same - artist - title - label - condition - reissue.

If it's got a stamped in number and a proper Nashville matrix stamp, it's real, if it's got a scratched in number of any description, it's fake, still it's scarce now on that bootleg so you paid about the right price if it turns out to be the pressing

What the f*ck are you on about Ken, I just quoted a magazine article, what's wrong with that?

Careful with this Steve, there is a very convincing counterfeit, if it doesn't have a stamped matrix number it's a bootleg

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ENDERS AND VERY, VERY HARD TO FIND. SOLD MY FIRST ONE TO CARL WILLINGHAM, ENDED UP BUYING IT BACK OFF HIM VIA JOHN MANSHIP. SECOND ONE I GOT FROM DAVE FLYNN, TRADED THAT BUT I MISSED IT SO I FOUND ANOTHER ONE WHICH IS THE COPY I HAVE FOR SALE NOW, AND AM ONLY SELLING THIS BECAUSE I GOT A BELGIAN PICTURE SLEEVE COPY. I DON'T THINK THIS WAS EVER ISSUED AS A STOCK COPY. THE GUY I GOT THIS ONE OFF, AN EXPERIENCED US DEALER, SAID THIS WAS THE ONLY COPY HE'D EVER HAD. THE KNICKERBOCKERS - WISHFUL THINKING / COME AND GET IT - CHALLENGE 59366 DEMO. A FEW LIGHT MARKS BUT IT PLAYS NEAR MINT, THE SOUND CLIP IS OFF MY OLD COPY, THE ONE HERE IS BETTER THAN THAT WITH NO CLICKS, NOTHING. IT HAS WRITING ON THE A SIDE LABEL. P.S. ON THE PHOTO BELOW, THE FLASH FROM THE CAMERA HAS CUT THE END OFF THE WORD 'THINKING' I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE WHOLE WORD IS ACTUALLY THERE! £75 FREE POSTAGE. NO OFFERS. SOUND CLIP HERE AND PIC BELOW, CHEERS /more/soul-library/27141-knickerbockers-wishful-thinking/
