If it were a 'test pressing' then it would carry the very same runout stamps as the issued 45 , given that the purpose of doing test pressings is to make sure the stampers were in order and damage free before running off a volume of records.

Why so coy , it's common knowledge who did them , it was discussed in a very long thread on here when they appeared , a simple site search will take anyone there ...

Sorry , yes they both are , real and boot ...

They're brand new modern vinyl , the whole set are.

These were from the "friends and family" package that Ian Latrine had pressed a few years back.

Look for the raised reversed "M.S.I. Co" stamp under the label , a la The Epitome of Sound on Sandbag . If it's there it's real , if it isn't it's not.

Cheers Simon , I never noticed there was a Season Two ...

Sadly 40" flares these days refers to the waist measurement ...

And wonderful knitted stripey waistcoats too , as modelled by the chap selling records , sorry whoever you might be ...

Just seen this in the latest catalogue I had sent through from Omega Auctions , an original colour poster and a patch for sale. And also a lot of record boxes for sale , Lots 600A - 600B - 600C. Not connected to me by the way. https://bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-229---northern-soul-interest---original-1980-wigan-casino-poster-and-badge/?lot=50010&so=0&st=&sto=0&au=155&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&pp=96&pn=3&g=1

According to this , yes. http://rockradioscrapbook.ca/ckb-mar8.html

Well that's killed my appetite in one fell swoop ... and I was so looking forward to ham , egg and chips too ...

Finally got a patch of blue to play in after an age of grey ... Awful seeing but found 26 frames to stack from 400 shot. Canon 6D + Evostar 150 + 2x Barlow + Baader ND3.8 +Oiii.

Another that slipped under my radar but is a must see film with fabulous performances by among other Timothy Spall , Jesse Buckley and Olivia Coleman. "Wicked Little Letters"

Just seen this snippet of tripe on YouTube ...

Midjourney images are identifiable at a hundred paces , even now ... if the music equivalent isn't the same , even in the future , I'll be surprised . And it'll need advances in both spheres to come up with a convincing 45 ... Master Latrine will be all over it though ...

Can of worms ..... more like a skip full of sewage ... 🙉 💩

Lots of bug-eyed "characters" and dark corners best avoided unless accompanied by an "adult"... happy times with no fluffies and handbags ...

And he hasn't changed a bit , I'm just slightly more wise to him 30 years later ...

To be honest this reminds me fondly of the sort of thing that the mighty Fudge would spend ten minutes pummelling you verbally with at 4am in a corner of the 100 Club , before giving you 'that' grin and wandering off leaving you feeling mildly abused and knowing he'd done you up yet again ... love you mate ...

Thank gawd the 'scene' we love started before all this touchy-feely nonsense tried taking over the world ... !

Nah , it was the gear ...

The view of the shadow from the passing ISS as it approached the coast was breathtaking ... 😍
