I had a Golden World acetate (sold it to Neil Rushton in 1999 I think) of this from the same source as Rob Marriots's a guy called Chris Flanagan from Detroit, used to work in a record store in Ferndale just off Woodware called Sam's Jams. Now owns a store called Street Corner Music. He was also something to do with the Joanne release. Phil

Hi Carl, That's EXACTLY where we're coming from. We launched the label to ensure great music gets out on vinyl and everyone gets paid. We generally pay advances too! Please drop me a PM or email to phildick@btinternet.com Cheers Phil

We would be interested in releasing them on our Soul Intention label. Drop me a PM if you want to discuss. Cheers Phil

Just don't use superglue. Especially if it's styrene. I bought a mint copy of Abstract Reality on Sport some years ago, put it in my bag and sat on it The crack was staright and clean so i decided to superglue it back together. The superglue proceed to melt the styrene. Not good! Phil

So are these records now considered to be not really that good anymore, or to a certain extent frowned upon as a few copies have turned up? Phil

PM'ed You. Phil

I think that the internet in general and ebay in particular are the main cause of the problem. I used to go to the US 3 to 5 times a year every year from 87 to 98 specifically to buy records. I had some great times and found some amazing tunes. Even on a "bad" trip I would find enough stuff to put a few choice pieces in my collection and the proceeds from the rest of the finds would completely cover the costs of the trip and leave me enough to buy the plane tickets for the next! However the last time I went on a pure record buying trip was summer '99, and although I still found stuff it was obvious that the halcyon days were over. Too many priced wants lists around, too many UK collectors willing to pay over the odds for even mediocre records meant that most shops and dealers I visited had dramatically hiked their prices and were wanting silly money even for stuff they didn't have a price guide for but just that "looked" Northern. That's when I decided it was no longer worth going to the US specifically to buy records. I have continued to go regularly to the US (I've been twice this year already) but only for holidays or on business, and I rarely venture into a record shop these days unless I'm stuck for something to do. Phil

No. Just these two today. Oh, and the moon on a stick would be nice too Phil

Anyone ?????????

I'll dig my copy out a bit later and have a nosey. Phil

There's an album by the same name. Hard Love is on there too. Phil

I was on the scene for about 20 years 1978 - 1999. Just about right. Phil
