looks like same group they where a massive doo wop group in the 50's early 60''s before recording im gonna change they came to england and changed thier name to the fantastics " something old something new "

seen it go for between £150 and £300 over last couple of years paid £150 for mine about 4 years ago

most the copies that have turned up seem to have the labels reversed and in deed this was a rob marriott spin in the early 90's great tune that deserves more spins :thumbup:

quality tune with mike terry's chugging sax

Hi russ it's just like anything else sooner or later every one gets fed up with things. like you say you have to keep things fresh i myself have sold three huge collections over 30 odd years .the first two i let go because i wanted to change my musical direction i sold 2 oldies collections that people these days would have killed for ,everything from cecil washington to beverly ann 4000 singles in total went. i bought every big stafford record of the day plus a shed load of unknowns , mid 90's i sold all them to buy a house. i am now on my 4th collecton not as good as the last 3 but loads of nice ovo my moto is never sell mate you always regret it just keep things fresh try a few different bits of other gernes atb steve c u on the 16th dec

Hi all anyone got a copy of LYDE , FISHER & GILES " SERVE ME RIGHT TO SUFFER " HAB at a reasonable price Thanks guys atb steve :lol:

as good as this may look we all know you cant teach people how to dance to northern this comes from the soul and each person has their own style that's what makes us unique

Well there's a sad day a coming if the rumours iv'e heard are true it appear's were about to lose the service's of two of the countries top d.j's , ive heard that both Butch and Mick . H are about to call it a day. can anyone shed any light on this ? if true then the scene will spiral into decline even more .

just been back on e.bay the copy that was up yesterday has been withdrawn for some reason it states auction ended but it only went on yesterday

That's probably the case Glyn as this is probably on most forward thinking d.j's collector's wants list's apart from the blessed few who own a copy already ' and with it being around from the latter day's of the casino you'd have thought it would have surfaced by now if there was quantity of it.

Well just been on the old dreaded e.bay and would you believe it another copy of the brilliant nu rons " all of my life " for sale , thats two copies in as many weeks. admittedly you never see it for sale ,but is this just coincidence or are we about to see a slow flood of them as with the four tracks
