Storming northern... Jimmy Astor, 'It's OK' on Jet Set £200 vg++ Some ring wear on label

Oh yeah. Which you have, I seem to remember? Am I right in thinking it goes for the same sort of price? And I wonder why Manship has left it out of his latest catalogue.

It was also on the 1990 Charly compilation 'Up all night'. INSD 5028

I've ended up with a spare of this amazingly fabulous and brilliant big voiced Hal Miller and the Rays mid-tempo. Books at £350.00. Will take £250 or trade for the other one, 'a blessing in disguise'.

It's gone up a bit Dave. Seen it for £30, but that's probably too much. Great record.

Gavin Page has one

Yes, it is the same group. They were on Broadway before Tower. And both records have the same, great flip (though different versions), the haunting ballad, 'Lonely Lover'.
