I didn't mean you couldn't, I just don't imagine you threatening anyone

That doesn't really have any bearing on my opinion of Gavin Ady.

Just seeing if anyones paying attention Andy

I nearly bought that on Ebay, you didn't outbid me did you

If it was the first play, it was the first play, regardless of what it was played off. Back in those days, one guy would have the original and the rest would have emidiscs cut until they found one. Pretty sure the first ever play was by Russ at Wigan, I may be wrong, but one thing I do know is that the record had a very very short lifespan before it was pressed as Eddie Foster and never became a massive sound - it was big alright, but not like it is now.

No I know Gavin Rick, but Gavin isn't Ian! Gavin's a really good bloke anyway, if you met him you'd agree I'm sure.

Does anyone have any UK label demos for sale? I need all the usual stuff but even more so, the cheaper things, 5 quid upwards sort of stuff, these aren't really to play they are more for a project I am starting work on so - and I know this sounds a bit strange - the labels are actually more important than the vinyl. I can't promise to buy everything obviously but if you do have anything, please do let me know. Just to give you an idea, some of the stuff (demos) I've bought so far: shangri las - right now and not later - red bird freddie scott - hey girl - colpix garnet mimms - thinkin - united artists inez & charlie foxx - no stranger to love - stateside kenny lynch - it's too late - hmv april stevens - wanting you - mgm see not necessarily big stuff but obviously I am interested in those too! nb it is the vinyl I need not just scans of the labels anyway thanks for reading cheers Pete

The very thought of Ian threatening anyone

Russ was definitely the first I heard play it

This is a bizarre spot because Ral Donner was played in 78 not 77 everywhere else - Danny Monday and Billy Woods had both been bootlegged in 1976 - Herbert Hunter was bootlegged in early 77 - Burning Bush was a 78 spin - only Joey Heatherton was a 77 discovery and that was pressed in April 77

Thats what I heard

Like Gene says - it's fairly worthless - if it were a David Bowie one I'd consider paying maybe £100 tops

Picked up a 4 Seasons on original UK Philips today if anyone wants it.

My God, what a fantastic photo Kev, that's me, you, Colleen and Karen Chilton at Wigan - some time in 1977. Amazing, I lost all of my photos several years ago, that really has made my year so far p.s. no you are right. it's early 78 p.p.s. what the f*cks up with my eyes

I just told him he'd be lucky to get 4 quid for it

This is true.

Which music in particular?

The fact that I've been selling most of these for years not withstanding, and also posted 250 of them up on soul source before they got banned by YouTube 3 years ago, I've got another 20 or so full episodes of Shindig if anyone wants them including Bettye Swann doing The Man Who Said No amongst others. But cheers anyway

Thought I had too!
