Hilarious interview, these boys were having a ball in the studio...

Has anybody actually come across a clean sounding copy of Mr Shy? I'm on my third copy, every one I've had has hiss at a certain point... Seen two label designs so assume two presses, anybody come across this? Mal

Hi all, here's a utterly brilliant 45, put it up yesterday, and again today reduced...

Condition wise, the label has a bit of dirt around the ring, the vinyl shows wear and has visual rub / marks and small scratches, which cam be heard but its nothing annoying at all, just a consistent crackle really, overall Ive been happy with this copy for a decade, not mint but did me fine, Ive replaced it cause its a all time top ten track for me.... its a loud tune! check out the scan. Hear 'JUMP BACK !!"

got it Geoff, all done.. mal

I experienced an issue with an order from this label, the reason given was a email fault, the label owner contacted myself and allot of others and send a cd and additional single with my initial order... Which was great fully received, but it's mighty strange this is happening again Tony... Unfortiunay all the extra work is undone, cause if you can't trust you will get your orders, folk simply won't order... Real shame Mal

Pm'd ya back

Joe Hinton - You Know it Ain't Right / Aussie W&G Realised I'm become a fanatical Aussie W&G collector, not that there are all that many Soul and R&B releases on the label, but I Just missed out on a copy of this on Evil-bay this morning and I gotta say, I was a bit miffed at that.. beaten by a private bidder.. Has anybody on here got a copy of this record on W&G, or know anybody who has one who would be interested in selling or swapping? and I extend that to any W&G soul and R&B records, what have folk got? scan from today's eBay listing..

Sean, whats tour address mate? for these records.. mal

Tesco baby wipes are the best for this, and pretty much the cheapest out there... m

Cleaning records is one of the natural talents, you need Garlic, rosemary and salt, and make sure you get fitted with some good quality rubber boots...

ahh, took all of ten minuets, you eagle eyed 'Wilsons' was it the V that gave it away? need to practice my Photoshop skills more..
