You could say the same for a lot of records Bob - Its dealers artificially keeping the price high and the Guides! lets no go there. Enjoying your country at the moment Bob & I havnt looked for a single record and Ive been here 10 days so far! Was in Tampa yesterday but back in Orlando now! Seen some garage sales but its too hot to bother - How you fairing at the moment - It must be very hot for you! Its 96 here!

Really enjoyed the first hour but had to go off to Independence day celebrations so missed the rest - Please put up your playlists Tabs & Charlie ATB Steve

Yes Roburt thats it- The keyboard player was Blind! - Brilliant though! Whats the other one?

Hi Steve - I was late into that- Bugger! but did get lots of Pop demos The Move /Byrds/Love sculpture/Pink Floyd/ etc

2/3rds of the way through and its been brilliant!

Wasnt Tim one of the earlry ones ito the BBC vaults in Manchester? I know this is 60s but to me its rare and I rue the day I didnt buy it off Pete S for 30 quid California Inn Crowd - Hapiness in my heart on Fontana

Noel McCalla Sang with Morrisey Mullen for a few years - Im after a copy of the single- Be with you- if anyone has it - Its on the UK Coda label

People are people is no more than a fiver- I saw Him live singing this at Walkdens Pembroke halls in the 70s

Also came out on Vogue in Europe with pic sleeve

Jesus I nearly Peed myself when I read that Garv! Must get a T Shirt with - "Ive heard Jimmy Pendleton sing" on one side and on the other " I dont wanna hear it Again!"

So whos on tommorw?

The original post was interesting and it should have stuck to the them of "Previous Legend Djs doing NS nights with CDs/ Reisuues /Boots etc" For me the person has lost credibility when they have sold their collection on which they built up their reputation to then jump back on the bandwagon with a different set of tools. I did a similar thread about Keb Darge 2 or 3 years ago and got slated for it! I was told I would end up with egg on my face but here we are having a debate about another ex legend of the Northern soul scene. So the question is why do they do it? It reminds me of the film of a bounty hunter taking his capture back to collect the bail bond money and a conversation on the train is a battle of Denials! Maybe Colin (Allegedly) is going through Denial!

Question - Given the history and controversy of this record - Why didnt any of these surface at the same time at the Rock-way Copies as it would have been a good time to surface them if they were original 70s presses- Just a question that needs an answer!

AS I was working when the last one was on I asked if the symposium could be recorded either audio or a synopsis of the presentations made: Hence nothing happened- Again I wont be able to attend due to work which is a pity as I will be in Manchester on the Saturday so I request again that will probably fall on deaf ears! Will someone organise for a synopsis of the presentations be made available (This is usually done from copies of the presenters papers or notes)! Cheers Steve

I sold an ex one about 3 years ago for 40 quid

Really dont know mate! It could be!

Sorry Tony it was mental!

Jimmy Pendleton - You are the Honey for me - its on Julie records Its sad because his voice is wway out of tune on a pretty good backing track! ATB Steve

Just leaving the flat for the airport -see everyone later!

Ive looked out my passport to cross the border , even if its at 30,000 feet! Is the Green room really Green?

Thats a nonsense statement- Its an ongoing issue until its absolutely put to bed full stop.When I questioned the person who had the stock I asked if these were original or pressed up under licence/ from the same stampers etc and he could have just said that they were original from a found box or something but No he didnt as I had mine infront of me and asked some searching questions- When I told him I had one infront of me he got really Narky and then made the comments as per previous post. I even said I'd warn the dealers over here to which his reply was they already have them and his exact comment was "Wise up Steve this is business" - To me that was the nail in the coffin that they were represses! p.s. I had no axe to grind (& still dont) as I got mine for a decent price off Sam at Fleetwood! so my view on this was from an interest point of view!

Had the Tony Hymes copy myself- Ive made my comments on this before and I can tell you that the evidence points to 2nd issues for a number of reasons- Yes they are thinner and you can see through the 2nd issues when held up to light. Myself and John Weston saw at least 3 of these at the Ritz some years ago. I bought mine off Sam and I am telling you it is very different to the 2nd issue. The other piece of information I have is lost in an old email from a supplier and he was less than amicable when I questioned him . He had off the cuff offered me a copy and when I quizzed him about it he got abit nasty to say the least including this statement that I cannot forget "Wise up Steve this is business" and even went on to tell me that well known dealers in the Uk had been supplied "so forget integrity of you Brits" was his comment. Ive never since i was youngster spent so much time trying to find out the truth about a record and I am convinced by information that their are second issues which supports whatever the Youtube person put up! Just a point to this - The price came down in Manships because copies turned up but if they were found categorically to bethe 2nd issues then the originals should go back up to pre 3rd edition prices IMO!

Good job we have members on here like you Bob-Its great when you tell the seller Ok just post it to an address in the US - they become bemused!
