No, never booted as a white demo

Well I reckon that on the later pressings, all of the labels appear to be a little bubbly.

jacki bond - he's gotta love me?

Simple. So you can play it on your record player.

I love these old pirate radio charts, they have really obscure records in there which never made the 'official' charts, mainly because they were paid by pluggers to play them and include them in their charts. Notice Lynne Randell right underneath the Tiffanies? Wrong side though...

Guess that explains the delta number then Neil, thanks for that. Do I sell it as a reissue though, if so, how much?

Yeah identical to that one. Just played it and the problem was that Save Your Love actually sticks after about 2 seconds and you have to press down on it to get it to play, the other side is near mint.

Blimey - whats this all about?

Bootleg is just yellow and black, original has red on it somewhere

I always thought this was booted but the delta number suggests around 1972, is that right? If so, I've got one you can have for 50 quid BUT the other side, Save Your Love, has a bit of surface noise, the Need For Love side is EX.

Guys, I'm sure I posted up here about him getting in touch with me, I gave all the details about him...he's now a painter by the way. I passed the info onto John Manship, he might still have it.

Was using vinyl carvers before they even had their website, cutting favourite tracks for my own use, 100% reliable, great quality discs...do go there!

PETE SMITH 28 JENKS ROAD WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WV5 0BL 01902 893569 Pete.smith@freeuk.com THIS IS A LOVELY MOTOWN COLLECTION I WAS ASKED TO SELL FOR A FRIEND. I'VE NEVER SEEN A COLLECTION OF RECORDS IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION. THE EX+ RECORDS ARE MORE OR LESS MINT AND THE MINT MINUS ONES DON'T EVEN LOOK AS IF THEY'VE BEEN PLAYED. THE SINGLES DON'T CONTAIN ANY BIG ITEMS BUT THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF 600 NUMBERS THAT ARE HARD TO FIND. THE EP'S HAVE BEEN PLAYED BUT ARE GENERALLY REALLY NICE. THE ALBUMS ARE AMAZING. I'VE PRICED THESE BY THE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE BUT HAVE KNOCKED SOMETHING OFF EVERY ONE SO £30 RECORD COLLECTOR WILL BE £20 HERE AND SO ON. SO IF YOU WANT TO UPGRADE OLD COPIES OF ANYTHING, THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE TO START.

Dunno, I've chucked thousands of records down the tip, because they were useless. I've bought say 1000 records from the states, only 100 were usable so the rest get chucked away.

This one is so bizarre it sounds made up. Bloke rang me up about 9 years back, I was still living in Hastings, said did I want to look at his collection, so I went to see them. He was about 60 this bloke, Elvis fanatic, and there were about 2000 lp's and 500 or so singles. I said I was only interested in looking at the singles, but he wanted me to take the lot. Anyway, he had a separate box in which there were about a dozen UK demos, all had some degree of water damage, some a little, some a lot - I said where did you get these from, and he said he was working on a building site and he's found them dumped in this old building, said they'd probably been there for years. Right in the middle of them was a UK decca Frankie & Johnny demo

Might be the same bloke who sold me a real Paula Parfitt out of a 'rock' section at Brighton record fair for £15!

I'm glad I made the effort to take the photos and post em up

A very nice little collection of EP's for sale here, if there's any interest please drop me a line and I'll describe the condition for you.

Looking for offers on this please. Condition is vidually VG/VG+, looks scruffy and has lost some gloss but it does play extremely well (link to audio file below) with some crackle at the start and a few pops near the end. I hate the saying great for djing with so I won't say it. link to sound file here https://media.putfile.com/02-Track-2-62-54

I'd rather hear a slower 60's record played at 33rpm than a crossover record. p.s. hate mail on the way

Heard Lorraine Chandler. Great program that, always very well researched.

Snap! Except...I've had two of these, my first one packed up about 6 months ago, I easily got a replacement off ebay but it has a totally different stylus. I'll photograph the two of them, if it's the first one I can give you a stylus, if it's the second I'm afraid I can't!

OK I have a stock copy here and it says as follows: Nashville Matrix stamp ZTSB110961-1A F-927 25

I thought you'd heard Patrice Holloway on VIP Harry?

I posted a list up about 3 weeks ago which had several of these on it, you could use that as a reference if you like, it's the thread that I closed
