The Jimmy Ruffin scan on the left is not an original label print release and can only conclude that it is a re-issue with the same number. The Four Tops scan in the posting above is an original label print release. Look at the back of the 'G' on the TMG. If it's 'flat backed', it's an original label print issue. If it has a 'rounded back', then it's a re-issue, or a 'repress' if you prefer but repressed after the font style on the label design had changed. Can't say when that actually happened? Hope this makes things clearer? God, I feel like a right nerd now but hey, we all collect for a bunch of different reasons.

Nice

Sorry Tony, the following extract doesn't make sense? I also have all the non-reissues through to the end of the 600s and none of them are tall type. I think that EMI must have stopped using that font around the time they started to make more 45s with solid (i.e. non push out) centres. But didn't you just say you had a TMG 639 in 'tall type' (my 'flat back')? Sorry if I missed something??? PS - Off to the Belgian 'Lowlander' on Drury Lane tonight if you fancy a pint, or two?

A notion I believe to be true. As for the "Sold in the UK. . . ", I'm not as certain about that aspect of the label design. Might there be some with 'round back' G's also with the "Sold in the UK. . . " printed on the push-out centres? If so, then they are of no interest to me. It's 'flat back' G's or nothing for me, with or without the "Sold in the UK. . . ". Nerdy or what?

There you go, that's one more issue with a 'flat back' G that I didn't know about. Ta.

Nah, you're definitely incorrect there. I know I have one at TMG 620 or perhaps even TMG 624. And there may be later ones than those. Nice thought though, ending the 'flat backs' with the last of the first 100.

I could do better if I were at home but off the top of my head, the latest one I might have is TMG 620. Why? Do you only collect the 'flat back' G's as I call them? Now the Demos continued with the 'flat back' G's for some time, even after the last 'flat back' G issue, whatever number that actually turns out to be.

And all listened to, if not known already, via your newly acquired Crosley Revolution. Let me know if you find anything out regarding wireless earphones Gaz, using the wireless capability of the afore mentioned 'Revolution'. I'll do likewise if I find out how to make it work first. Just imagine it, Sound Burgers with wireless headphones. Oooerrr!!! That'll save a lot of heartache / accidents won't it. Denbo. PS - Thorsten was there. He was EVERYWHERE!!!

You had to post it up didn't you. You bar steward!!!

Hi Tommy, Hope all's well with you and the rest of Oslo? Does your copy actually have printed on it somewhere, Promotional Copy, Demonstration Copy, Advance Copy, etc? Only, my understanding is that all the Glad Hamp records released around this number are white labels, having nothing to do with the fact that they may, or may not be Demos. And no, I did not find another copy on my recent visit to the States . . . unfortunately. Neither did I find anything from your Wants List I'm afraid. Denbo.

It is.

Has anybody got a discography of Albert Washington's recordings? Would appreciate a list or a link to one. Denbo.

Sorted now thanks. :o)

Can somebody please direct me to a Mercury Record Label Discography that would include those in the 71000 series? Thanks in advance. Denbo.

£270!!! What a good price. Mind you, it looks very well looked after. I'm still after a couple of battery covers for my Burgers, as well as the record centre thingy, you know, the black rubber thing that allows us to play American 45s and it also acts as the holder for the stylus arm when it's packed away. Can't remember what it's actually called? Anybody?

Did you win it Pete at £91? That's a BARGAIN!!!

What did it go for finally?

Best one for me, was from a market here in London less than a year ago. My mate found a mint condition copy of Timi Yuro on blue Liberty, still in it's original paper sleeve, for £1. Yes, one effin pound!!! He very nearly asked if they'd take 50p.

Nope.

No . . . oooo, not that I'm aware of? I was actually referring to the 'looks' of the UK release on Fontana compared to the VJ label on US, not the 'sound'. Having said that, I've never compared the two side by side, as I've never had the VJ copy, only the Fontana release. Perhaps somebody else who has both could do the honours?

Sorry Andy, I can't. I'm away from home for a couple of weeks. But perhaps somebody else can?

C'mon Carms, that make it way too easy? Where you off to THIS weekend?

I think we're looking for full names. You know, christian name and surname.
