FW never got beyond a limited demo press, half dozen I think.

5 to 6 isn't there?

Yep Butch has the only copy as far as I know, many said it didn't exist but it definitely does. He also played it at the last lifeline. Little Johnny Hamilton (Keep On Moving) is a one copy only (the original) as well isn't it, again owned by Butch. The rest are later test presses aren't they?

Must have posted same time Pete.

But Sandy Golden isn't the rarest northern soul record is it? Neither is Frank Bloody Wilson before someone feels the need to mention it.

I think he caught her takin it up the arse

Here's the recent listing..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Northern-Soul-45-Topics-A-Nicer-Girl-Virtue-mp3-acetate-rare-unreleased-/360730560342?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item53fd378756&nma=true&si=CJ9PkXMJPXqqwmW7bJ4a742aSnQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Dave Welding had the acetate some time. Didn't see the one on eBay https://www.discogs.com/Various-Best-Of-Wally-O-Productions/release/4305138

If it's gone missing on route it will be someone from whichever postal service not customs although you do get bad eggs in every organisation.

Unreleased and same as Bernard Williams. Came out on a cd best of Wally-O or something like. Dave Welding has the acetate.

I nearly nought one for £150 earlier this year. Can't believe its fetching twice that now?!!!

I wouldn't have passed it on if I thought it wasn't true but having come from family I guess it is pretty solid?

Good news at last it would appear. This is what Shane Cosgrove has said on the Stafford group on Facebook..... I spoke with Keb's brother in law this morning who lives in Angeles, Philippines. He informed me both Edith and Keb both survived the typhoon and are ok. He also mentioned their place (house) was Ok too, so relieving news.

Yep, I stopped straight away, I'd only taken 3 or 4 too.

Uploading some more videos from then show... This one is great...ten minutes or so long but worth it.

The matrix on Sandy Golden is from the Artisan Mastering Studio. They would have mastered the track, probably for Nate Fortier and then it would have been pressed elsewhere.

Didn't it say Diana Ross on the can Gilly?

I take it issue 4 doesn't exist?

Good price and a cracking record.

It's one dealers opinion. I don't take any as gospel but try and come to a price through a bit of research and any knowledge I might have tucked away. Any information can't be a bad thing. Mid you ignore the prices they are a great resource for artists and labels. Tim's now has an LP guide.

Tim was selling copies at the Wilton.

By the sounds of it no one has heard from him. His brother says he will post on Keb's Facebook page as soon as he hears anything.

There are a couple of videos of Debbie's show on my youtube page with more to follow at the weekend.

$300 a bargain IMO, like Steve says very rare 45. I only know of two copies here, not to say there isn't more before anyone steams in, Steve might know of more.

Yann has said on FB that he has heard Keb is OK. Not heard anything else though.
