How about Warwick

Sorry Kegsy, bit tongue in cheek on these don't you think? Soultown (Bradford) Groove City (Bradford) Steeltown (Sheffield)

Fleetwood too.

Ascot for another.

Derby for one.

Ha ha, could post. We'll all be getting our thinking caps on and Googling like mad over this one I'm sure.

Which? The Oriole Lp or the Motown 45?

All's I want is for somebody with a UK Oriole copy of the Contours Do You Love Me Lp to kindly record a track off said Lp and send it to me as an mp3 or wav file so I can compare it to my Motown 45. And yes, it's the Whole Lotta Woman track. I've heard of so many different versions of this title and want to decide for myself which is which, rather than blindly accepting what I've read on the subject, some of which having already been found to be incorrect.

Nobody out there with the Oriole Lp?

Not that I know of. I just want to hear this track from the Oriole Lp to make double sure it's the same as the track on the Gordy Lp. Nowt shady, just trying to be thorough.

Please get in touch if you do. I'm not going to pester you to sell me it, unless you want to, I just need a recording of one of the tracks. Please PM me. Thanks.

I don't think there is a straight forward answer to this, on the face of it, very simple question. There certainly isn't a straight forward "yes or no" answer. No, not if it hasn't been released here in the UK before. And yes, because it is likely to have been issued here in the UK some 40 years later due to the demand from the scene.

Got my first copy of Willie J Charles at Val's in 2000 for $20 :-)

Used to be a popular play around Southport back in the mid to late 70s. But can't think who actually played it?

Don't say that Pete, you've just devalued my collection by at least £130.

Thanks for that Ted. Very concise.

Whatever happened to those "More Unreleased Invictus / Hot Wax" on You Tube? Can't seem to find them anymore?

Still got it? Can you post up a photo?

But not very good at keeping your records in good condition. They caused a lot of damage to records as they were so heavy and cut into the grooves causing lots of hiss.

What make is that Mace? Anybody remember / seen / got a Sound Burger with an integral cassette player?

Well, even though I bought my box set way back in November from Soulbrother Records in Putney. And even though, at first, I had 3 records jumping using my Soundburger and headphones, all is well when tested on my home Hi-Fi. All records present and correct and as flat as most of my record collection. So, I'm a happy bunny all round. :-)

I'd like a UK copy too, issue or Demo. Please PM me anybody, cash waiting. Cheers.

"Bad Girl" is even rarer on a 78rpm, so I heard somewhere?

That's not entirely true. I have a couple of cracked records that play perfectly well. So they do have value, in as much as I can play them. Now, as to their monetary value, that's another matter. I guess it depends on the condition of the record and whether or not it plays without any problems or noticeable clicks. Mine are otherwise in excellent condition and play without any problems. As for their resale value if I were to try and sell them? Well, I'm never going to sell them so that solves that problem. So you see, buying cracked records isn't entirely 'crackers'

Depends on how much the cracked copy cost I guess. If cheap enough, they'll just keep it if they can't sell it on. I've done the same with certain records that haven't been cracked but which have been in less than good shape. Again, it all depends on individual circumstances. But yeah, on the face of it, doesn't seem like a good idea buying a cracked record.
