Ha Ha Ha :lol:

I think Ste meant early sixties 'style' R&B, you nitpicker you.

Yeah? I had this gut feeling they were all pre '75. Oh well, never mind.

Of course it's a "fantastic version". He's a Scouser!!!

As a matter of interest, do you know the latest year any of those got released? Not 1974 by any chance?

I think I'm right in saying though, that for that period, solid centres were more common. Would you not agree? So, it could be that the push-out centre types may be more rare? Nitpicking I know, but it's all good fun.

And as this UK Philips scan shows, it was a 1961 release, so just about right for Tony's demo sticker.

Sound file anybody?

Mine's solid centre like the link. Sure it wasn't too early for the push-out centre Tony? They used to do black and white demos I think, around the time of this release, so am surprised to hear of the demo sticker. Probably got my facts a bit out of date though?

I was very lucky then cos I picked one up around September 2011. Was originally after the 33rpm version on US Columbia but dropped lucky with the UK Philips copy instead.

Also came out on UK Philips. https://www.45cat.com/record/pb1116

What!!! Somebody had nicked the bin???

huh huh huh

Like I said earlier, I have a Thorens TD 150 with no pitch control, not because I'm a "purist", but because that was the hand I was dealt when I first bought my record player . . . . second hand . . . . and I've still got it all these years later. But you're right, they should be checked regularly, especially the belt. I'm on my 3rd so far.

I have a belt driven Thorens TD 150. So as you can see, I have no pitch control whatsoever.

I see what you're getting at and a valid point it is too. Can't and won't argue with that. But pitching up or down? Well, I DID say, each to their own.

Just realised something. DJing - pitch control - often available and often used. Not DJing - usually no pitch control - played at speed the record was set at. Notice I didn't say intended to be played at.

Probably was. But I'm one of those that thinks that once it's been released, that's it, no more messing about with it. Like I said, each to their own.

Obvious now you've told me. Sorry, but I can feel a DOH!!!!! coming on.

What are "BIN prices"?

I don't agree with this and I think I'm quite well known in my neck of the woods for saying so. Some people don't have record players with pitch control. If a record isn't suitable at the correct speed for whatever scene you belong to, then go find another one that does. Another record that is. There's plenty out there. Nothing worse than hearing a record out, then spending time and effort to track one down, only to find it's been speeded up or down and therefore sounds slow or fast on your record player at home. Each to their own I guess.

Has anybody got a copy of; Marcels - Tell Me / Letter Full Of Tears - Chartbound 009 I'm trying to source a copy for a good friend. Please send me a PM (Private Message) with condition and price if able to help. Thanks.

Defo issued as I too have one on the blue UK Fontana label. Nice record.

Yes, I've seen that. But am puzzled by the JAB (wine coloured label)?

What gives with it being on JABA (yellow label) and JAB (wine coloured label)?
