Ripple Blast Singers and Hesitations still available, amongst others!

Most titles still available...trades always considered!

Nothing good enough to tempt me to part with it!

Thread hijack...nobody move! Interesting...have seen more Daran than Ja-Wes, personally OK...back to Oscar Wright

I was going to use the infamous, 'Minor spin for GuyH' maneuver, but I feared you would trump me with the faithful, 'Ah! But it was played at the 100 Club before Stafford', legend. Tricky game this record lark!

'Shelley Plastics'...based in Huntingdon Station, Long Island, near to NYC. By the way, according to Anorak's Corner ( ) during 1969, the "X" was replaced with a backwards "S" within a circle. Oscar Wright was a minor spin at Stafford...a real speaker-shaker-bass-line! I saw more East Coast Fairmounts during that period than any other format! The Hemispheres showed up en masses a few years later.

What was Florence like as a person/to deal with?
