bearing in mind before the internet came along.it was a hard record to get. it took me 8 years
to get mine but ebay and the like has opened everything up.the thing with showstopper is actually
finding a copy in good shape. most of the copies on ebay are trashed but then you all know that
also the other thing its got going for it its not a bad double sider . wouldnt have thought it would go up much more tho
dave
yes it was issued. ive had 3 demos and one issue. one of the demos had a date stamp on it
october 71 i think. i kept the cleanest demo for myself. wish id kept the issue now although
the flip side was poor. i sold it to either joe lakin or derek greenhoff for £25
dave
gary smelt of blacknight records had a stock copy but that was 15 years ago. dont know if
this is the same copy. i would have thought there would be more than one copy. although its
very rare its on a nationally distributed label
dave
its van mccoys version.readily available on an lp but it came out on an italian only 45
its quite difficult to track down now but ive had 5 copies all sold to local jocks in the
doncaster/barnsley area. kept one myself tho.
dave
should have no trouble getting a percy and them.one on ebay every other week
and it never sells for more than a ton.suprised john auctioning it, but as its been
said before.some people are just too idle and dont look hard enough
dave
aound the year 2000 i swapped my cecil washington and the tomangoes for a vivian carol
merben w/d.............. what was i thinking about. still beat myself up over it
dave
i agree. most of the records on the northern scene are way overpriced and not that
rare IMVHO. as a bit of a collector/dj im currently on my 3rd copy of bernard williams
and sam dees. I sold my betty lloyd for £50 when it bottomed out some years ago
ive never got round to buying it back mainly coz i cant afford the £300 to buy it back
and i wouldnt pay that for it anyway. if you have stacks of money you can petty much
buy 95% of the records ever played on the northern scene.my own experience has told me that
youd get them in a couple of months and the rarer ones would follow within a year
dave
1900 yesterday reached number 34 on the US hot 100 in june 1970
ive only got the betty everett lp on UNI..............miles better anywayIMVHO
used to get played at virtually every "PITCHES" do circa 1994/95. i never missed one
never really been a do in rotherham as good since. bout time those days came back
dave
looks like a jamaican release to me from the type face. some calla releases came out
on jamaican stateside.ive got jean wells "with my love"on stateside.i wish i could scan it
and post it up but i aint got the knowledge yet
dave
bernard williams went for nearly $600 2 weeks ago on ebay..... dont think
its any commoner than say sam dees "lonely"or betty lloyd.john got £500
for sam dees other week didnt he?

Just listen to Spyder Turner - Stand by me then tell me you know who the vocalist is.

I see what you mean there paul.spyder does impersonaions of top soul stars of the
day on the stand by me album. but not on the 45, well not on the french ep anyway
dave
not morris chestnut on the soundmasters .and it says his name on the record
well it does on my copy any way. and whats that old saying."believe half of what you see
and none of what you hear" .id sooner believe what my old 45s tell me rather than someone
relying on 40 year old memories when they probably cant remember what they had for
breakfast
dave
If this is a photo of the Magnetics on Bonnie then we have proof that they are a different group and share no indervidual member as I can see no resemblence to any member of this photo with the photo's I have of the Volumes.

tims copy has a couple of bids on it now.it stands at £450, which is more than johns copy went for.
incidently, why do people think this has the same backing as ring leaders............ they must have
gone to the deaf school
dave
