Great record though, just goes to show....

Hmmmm. you letting that Patrinel Staten go Fingers? Hopefully someone will take that late 90s remake of The Salvadors off of you too In all seriousness hope everything is ok / gets sorted soon. cheers, Steve

Hey I missed it - was down in Somerset (Crayford is in Kent by the way Ian)....and knowing some of the obscurities Simon has stashed away, I bet i missed a blindingly good show.

Both horrible 45s....you trying to complete the label or something?

Agreed Francis, that TNJ's is great. Found my copy in LA years ago, always rated it very highly. But they are a top group anyway - no duffers at all in their repertoire.

Really good thread this.......can't add any, but am enjoying the crack.

Yup agreed as long as the remix is good. I got a Jean Shy German techno mix somewhere and it's awful, and there are also some very strange mixes of "The Source" for example (one straight off the top of me head).....I'd also add remakes to the list also, such as the recent version of You know how to love me which is very good in my humble. To say "you can't beat the original" is missing the point.

Ebony sounds outside Leytonstone station as Taff says (e.g. Living Color 20p) now a sex shop I think, the place up at Walthamstow (full of 10p singles), the place iN Streatham (Black Wax) (e.g."Streets got my lady" 10p), Diamond? in croydon by W Croydon station (e.g. Alfie davison etc came out of there as new releases), The Lighting Centre at Petticote Lane e.g. "Brand New" came out of there 25p, the Mile end shop (tricky Dicky?) e.g. 2 x WIl Collins came out of there (30p).I used to spend all day every saturday going round London looking for records......different shopping centres every week. I certainly found my way round town all right and wore a few pairs of shoes out in the process! Steve

Me no chance either Rod. Supercorsa - yes I think a bid on a computer auction web site is legally binding.

Nice one Of course styrene is a completely different process

Read somewhere that UK TM only pressed up a couple of hundred copies of this. Redckon many of those still exist and are in our collections.

Interesting Dave Raistrick had a Total Unity in the early 90s, I got it from him. Don't see it around at all.

Those were the days......notebooks with wants in......and they talk about anoraks today

Think I got my first ever northern import there - the awful Duke baxter "I ain't no scbhoolboy" - there must have been dozens of them! Always a good stopping off place for a very young northern fan whenever I was in the area, never picked up anything particularly rare, and they were 30p each by the time I got there I think, but nonetheless a great place for finding records that I had never heard of before in the "northern" box. Shame it's gone. Steve

One of the best.....

It's been played at some of the more discerning clubs. Steve

My copy does not have a hiss.

Jeeees....and you told me you got them from Detroit Dave

I found a Lou Pride record in Brisbane!

I knew it was true

But I have heard the Salvadors described as a 1.09mm copy, seriously. It was probably a snob

Actually what is a 1.09mm Salvadors? and who has eyesight that can measure 1.09mm anyway???

Ted that sounds bad, who was it?

.....but you love mixing it up Roger......you know you do
