    Probably Aussie versions - does it say on the label they were licensed from the US companies? Billy Thorpe had one single in the UK by the looks of it but it wasn't this one.

    The Sensations song is a totally different one to the Derrick Harriott one! No connection apart from the title. Venus is another Rio label, Alan Martin is actually Denzil Dennis, it's a good UK soul production which I sold as a cover up last year, there is a sound file up. I think there are only 5 releases on the Venus label, Owen Gray and Laurel Aitken included.

    No I just keep it with the UK's because it looks like one!

    Holidays is actually relatively easy to pick up because for some reason no one seems to want it. Paid £50 for one in April. Bobby Paris is quite hard to find on Polydor. Inspirations is on really flexible vinyl if I remember correctly.

    Belgian. Was waiting for someone to spot it

    No need to take the piss just because he doesn't like it. Like 90% of British produced reggae, it's just crap compared to the real thing. Stand that next to something like Austin Faithful - I Am Losing You or The Tennors - Reggae Girl or Derrick Harriott - Been So Long etc etc

    Yeah it's very sparse. God though. The other side is tremendous rocksteady

    Sorry Russ if I'd have seen your question I'd have answered it, both Mick Smith and myself reckon this is worth no more than £40 but it sold for something mind-boggling in a JM auction, maybe someone pressed the wrong number on the keyboard. I swear I wouldn't ask more than £60 for a demo. Used to be a fiver. Terrible record though.
  9. Pete S
    That's stunning - I'd have thought 450
  10. Pete S
    I think you could probably name your price for it.

    No you won't get anything for it, if it were marked STEREO you would have, but 99.9% of copies are mono.

    /more/soul...want-her-uk-rio sounds a bit off centre I'm afraid, sorry

    It's already up somewhere, I posted it about a year back, I'll see if I can find it

    I can't read any London connection into it. Just on the subject of Ray Pollard and 60's magazines, I've got an issue of The Record Songbook (a fortnightly magazine featuring the lyrics to various new releases and hits) and it has the lyrics to It's A Sad Thing!

    Hey you can't slag of Liquidator, it was The Wolves theme tune for over 30 years!

    Yours is in better nick than mine!

    I used to have a phenomenal Bowie collection but sold them all, got a few back now, that one is I think one of the greatest records of the 60's.

    I'm done now I think Eddie, everyones seen most of them before, I like to collect the really obscure ones myself but am too embarassed to show some of them I think I've had more Jimmy Beaumont issues than demos, remember paying £25 for the first one back in 1988. Don't know about the value of that Jon Ford record, we do occasionally find his records round here as he's always lived in the area but never found YGMWYWM and he hasn't got a copy either. n.b. the demo is a different take to the issue
  19. Pete S
    Some rare but some are just interesting, I mean that thing on Venus, nobody else has turned one up yet, the Top Rank demo just looks beautiful, the one on Rio, Louie Louie demo, I mean I've never had that before on a demo..and so on
  20. Pete S
    I don't know if you believe in coincidences Dave but I posted up a scan of exactly the same record 20 minutes ago!
  21. Pete S
    The Jon Ford record is ultra-rare as a demo copy, one of the toughest on UK

    Always used to be because there were no imports until the late 60's so everyone collected UK releases. A lot of people collected or collect UK to make it look like they've been at it for years and years but it's always been credible, very credible..
  24. Pete S
    It's rare, it's good as well, just not a lot of demand for it

    Here's a few "interesting" bits
