Thanks chaps! Whose got em? How many copies? How much? Will search for other threads..

Yeah I've got the tape. I haven't got the lead that goes from the headphone socket to line in, else I'd freecorder an mp3 of it. Feckin amazing track. Maybe I'll write on Dawn's wall, see if I can speed things along ...

Toughie this. Pretty sure it's from a free Scenesville tape, covered up as "There Was A Time" - Butch sounding male mid tempo stepper. If ever a record sounded like a thousand pounds on first spin, this is it! Stroke them there chins and let us know any ideas.. Tony Smith II, I'm looking at you ..

Lost interest after I read one of them was called 'Spanner' ..

Roy Hamilton P.I.O shite? Tsk.. Think how many other good records you could buy for 500 quid. Four Tracks would be last on the list. Romance Watson is uber soulful btw.

I've got one somewhere.

Have them both and love them both, but 'Shook Me Up' just edges 'Crackin Up' for RCA Victor niceness.

Of course! Sorry should have known better. Smiling at the 'please don't' bit. Clarence Carter anyone ..

Not. Got an eight page thread somewhere with over a hundred eighties venues listed. Irritatingly though thanks to the new site layout, I can't find it. Grrr.

What do we think pricewise for the Smash LP these days?

What a deeply sickening and stomach churning situ to be in Steve. You have all my sympathy. Any news, whispers, anyting on this subject - will of course keep you fully informed.

Ted did you say JM sold one for a ton, or you did?

Certain it was sold on ebay as a demo with no complaints or comeback. As said, I owned the copy and what it looks like in the picture and what it looked like in the flesh are a bit different. It was white for a start. I'll check and get back to you.

Pic doesn't really do it justice, you'd have to have it in yer hand. It was worn and miscoloured with age. But it was definitely a white demo.

None taken Andy. It was (and I'm sure still is) a white demo.

35 sovs! Can you bu me one?

Got that from Mick Smith down the 100 Club one night, think it may have been 40/£50. Got bored of it after a while, think I managed to get £25 for it in the death.

Couldn't give this away ...

Sad sad news... Rest in peace Robert Von Hebb.

Thanks chaps. Guy sounds right. I shall inform rugbysoulgirl as she was interested to know. Thanks again.

So could have been you maybe Rick that discovered it. As for who broke it ... the mystery continues .. Really? Never heard Keb play that back then. Remember saying to Joan that it was a good tune at Buzzard in about 84 - she said "it was about four years ago". So maybe he played it early 80's (Stafford?) and I missed it. Just surprised as he complained about stuff that wasn't soul - hated Bobby Valentin etc...
