  1. No what you're hearing is the backing track of a vocal by Val Simpson, they seem to have tried to remove all of the vocal track but you can still hear an echo of her lead vocal and some of the backing vocals, if you ever get to hear the vocal, you'll see what I mean
  2. The Aztecs - Damelo Baby - Twistin' Rumble (great Latin dancer)Posted info: ; Just came across this and thought it would sound pretty good played out
  3. I had no idea it was a new release! So he's out of order for offering to do dubs of it. But he's still perfectly entitled to claim it as his cover up if nobody else knows it.
  4. inc Ray Pollard demo https://shop.ebay.co.uk/mayfairmenthol/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1
  5. Russ used to play it off an acetate, he probably had the only one, given to him by SS. Shouldn't have to pay more than a fiver for this really. I'm going to go dig it out and blast it out loud now. Then play Sabre Dance :-)
  6. I love this as well but the first time you hear it you wonder where it's going with that chorus because there is no way she's going to be able to hit that note, but she does - after a fashion - it's got a nieve charm about it, wonderful record
  7. Absolutely, one of the best ever!
  8. Cliff was being facetious in his original post in my opinion. It's Beeks cover up and him who's playing it. The whole point of this is that people found out what it was straight away and are making fun of Beeks for whatever reason. If I'd discovered it I'd have been pleased, it's a great dancer, though I could honestly post 20 tracks of a similar style that are probably unknown (all off cd compilations)
  9. George lemons - Fascinating Girl, try finding the bit that's IN tune!
  10. It's as good as anything you've ever posted up
  11. You've got to start drawing a line Adam, I've had this problem from day one so now I ask for immediate payment, if I don't receive it, I sell it to anyone else who asks next. The main problem is people who email and say "can you hold that for me", I reply saying yes, how do you want to pay, meanwhile 2 more people want to order the same record but I'm still waiting for the first one to come back to me. 4 or 5 hours later, still no reply, I sell to the second person. My lost sales go into THOUSANDS over the years from people doing this.
  12. I did, soon as I saw it
  13. I was selling one for someone on here about 18 months ago - it was in tip-top condition, I think he wanted 4500, it wasn't sold
  14. It's from 75 or early 76.
  15. Like everyone above says - you chose 2 tracks from a list of titles, paid a fiver, a week later your disc was ready, this particular one is worthless
  16. Great stuff!
  17. It's definitely a SS production but it uses the original backing track minus the laughing and has that xylophone playing the lead, they only used to play this at the anniversaries until early 78 then it got a couple of saturday night spins and lo and behold, it's out on a 45. I really like it actually, especially the intro.
  18. I don't understand how certain records qualify for auction other than they are interesting rather than rare. he has a reggae single, Lynn taitt - El casino Royal, it's not rare in the slightest, I've had a dozen copies in the last 5 years and have one now, the most I've ever asked for one is £30 in mint condition. Thats in JM's auction at the moment.

  20. Fraid I'm not going but if I do get this thing sorted I'll post you one anyway..
  21. I've got footage of Hendrix playing guitar as part of the back up band for Buddy & Stacey (45 on Twirl) from the show Night Train (Houston 1965). I did post it on youtube but they took it down, it may be up again now?
  22. Thats James Hendrix - different guy altogether.
  23. Yes well I'm 6 feet tall and have luscious brown hair and am usually dressed in an Armani suit, right folks?
  24. Was it real? You should have listed it on here, I'd have given you £50 for it I sold the demo by the way.
  25. I'd charge a quid normal and 1.80 recorded signed for, I wouldn't contemplate buying from anyone overcharging on postage like that I'm afraid.
