  1. One at £75 last week. Another one today 'priced to sell' at £60. Meanwhile in the real world...
  2. Well that's very interesting. How do they know it's delicious - unless they've bred a massive hairy spider? I guess that figures with the theory that in evolutionary terms, lactating fluid is thought to have developed in order to keep eggs moist. For me however, the learning thing is more frequently around the amounts by how much people consistently over-value their records...
  3. I rarely spend 15 mins on here without learning something.
  4. That'll be that well informed curmudgeon then...
  5. I'm gonna post up loads of Stafford stuff:

  8. As was their version of the Batman Theme.
  9. No worries Darren. I'm not trying to spoil your sales - I'd just be worried about giving the impression that my records are all over-priced, and clearly yours aren't. Dobber - you need to learn to use google mate
  10. Some nice records Darren but that Gloria Parker 45 is £15 all day long mate
  11. I was reading about them last week and copied this note - from Amazon I think: In 1960, Ernie Freeman assembled a group of studio musicians at Liberty Records and recorded a rock version of the 1906 march National Emblem which he called National City under the billing The Joiner, Arkansas Junior High School Band, and in late May/early June it made it to # 53 Billboard Pop Hot 100. There was, of course, never any such band in Joiner (home town of Liberty president Al Bennett) but for a while there organizers all over the U.S. were calling around to try and book the "high school band" for one of their parades. Seven years later, Joey Day and Alan Dischel resurrected the idea with another group of studio musicians, this time at Jerry Blaine's Jubilee Records in New York City, and in late 1967 released Lapland as The Baltimore And Ohio Marching Band and in late October it peaked at # 28 Adult Contemporary and # 94 Hot 100 on Jubilee 5592 b/w Condition Red. Around the same time they also released this album (Jubilee JGS-8008) which contains: 1. Lapland; 2. Do Re Mi; 3. The Yellow Rose Of Texas/Whistle While You Work; 4. Girl Watchers Theme; 5. Bach Minuet; 6. The B&O Marching Band Song; 7. The Happy Wanderer; 8.. The Colonel Bogey March; 9. The Kazoo Special; 10. The Children's Marching Song; 11. St. Louie Street March; 12. Seventy-Six Trombones. Early in 1968, The Happy Wanderer/The B&O Marching Band Song were culled from the LP and released as the single Jubilee 5614, but this time no cigar. Later that year they released their second and last LP (Jubilee JGS-8014) titled "The Baltimore And Ohio Marching Band Plays Music From The Comics" containing: 1. Simon Says; 2. Alley Oop; 3. I'm Popeye the Sailor Man; 4. Jubilation T. Cornpone; 5. The Kids Next Door; 6. Barney Google (With the Goo Goo Goggly Eyes); 7. Snoopy Versus The Red Baron; 8. Little Orphan Annie; 9. Lady Bird; 10. Gogo Togo; 11. Batman Theme; 12. Sgt. Crunch. That is a rare one indeed. From that album there came the single Sgt. Crunch b/w a new tune called The Tipsy Gyspy on Jubilee 5644, and a bit later in 1969 they released Little Arrows, with a mono version on one one side and a stereo version on the other as Jubilee 5672. Again, nothing charted.
  12. No more tiresome switching between your turntable and keyboard!

  13. Sounds reasonable in principle but is there a single thing that we all agree on?
  14. Good comedy writes itself...
  15. Nothing really - not worth making worse anyway
  16. Hopefully without anyone threatening to "have a talk" with you this time though
  17. Phew. C4 news. That's better!
  18. My (non scene) missus just looked at the presenters and shouted "Divs!" while laughing her head off
  19. Hurrah!. Now where's me flippin' avatar? Kidding - just glad to see the site back up and running
  20. That'll teach you to post clips without listening Rob
  21. Italian one with pic sleeve on discogs Joe. https://www.discogs.com/marketplace?master_id=575865&ev=mb
  22. Really? Sorry you've had such bad luck then.
  23. Where's that statistic from? Seems a tad exaggerated and doesn't match with my experience.
  24. Yeah there is - a rough one ended last month with no bids. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMMY-DAVIS-JR-SALT-AND-PEPPER-I-LIKE-THE-WAY-YOU-DANCE-WL-PROMO-7-RARE-UA-/111276671144?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item19e89b40a8&nma=true&si=pAWfwxOJ1%252FKVY6Oz4%252Bn1g0ZgPeg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  25. Could have been my pal Rob from Oldham (East Rob on here) that I was talking to. Didn't know Wechter was that early though - it's later in my head. Not that I'm disputing. I'm constantly amazed by people's memories. I have so many blanks!
