Grab some cheap CDs, best are Grapevine Northern Soul ones, should be out there for just few quid a piece. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-HITS-NORTHERN-SOUL-100-TRACKS-5-CD-SET-NEW-SEALED-/142197623822?hash=item211ba38c0e:g:acEAAOSwu1VW3FFw

I used to go to the Orchid at around that time, to be honest I don't remember him.

Guess that £1.00 album gonna rise in value then ?

Discography: made by these two bands ar Discography: 45 - Chicago/Gipsy (Thuban Six CPI 7010 - 197?) 45 - Chicago/Toast and marmalade for tea (Gran Prix CPI 7010 - 197? - jukebox) 45 - Lady in black/And the day will be so kind (Thuban Six THS 16001 - 197?) 45 - Gipsy/Lady in black (Thuban Six THS 16001 - 197? - jukebox) + LP Two singles (and two others probably only released as jukebox promo issues) appeared for this group, all covers of popular songs played rather well, and both were probably issued around 1971. Among the songs they recorded, And the day will be so kind is an original, while there are two Uriah Heep's covers and one by Graham Nash. Their style is hard prog with a good use of organ. Two instrumental LP's were also issued under the name Blue Sharks, and some say that behind this name hid the composer Stelvio Cipriani, as many of the tracks are credited to his nickname Ipcress. The albums are Funny walk (Leonardi L 20) and It became crystal (Leonardi SL 27), and both came out in the early 70's. It's likely that Blue Sharks were the same musicians also known as Dirty, because the versions of And the day will be so kind made by these two bands are identical. e identical.

Only owned this once bought in Italy, think I paid + - £150.00 really, really struggled to get £200.00 for it (thik sold it on here) in spite of who it is or not it is a good version. Interestingly enough there was a 70/80s group Belgian group called Blue Sharks who recorded stuff in Italy, I used to have an album from them.

"Toast and marmalade for tea"

Whoops !

gone

Can someone post a sound file of Mike Morton version ? There were a couple of release under the name Blue Sharks on Gran Prix.

This from Mick Holdsworth 28 December (my birthday;-) 2011 quote : You probably mean one of the many Mike Morton LP There was a rumour about 2 years ago that this LP version by Mike Morton was the exact same recording as Blue Sharks. It wasn't. I did get both the LP's at the time, one with "These Things", and a second LP with "Heaven Must Have Sent You" (coincidentally, this second LP also had "Banner Man" on it). Neither "These Things" nor "Banner Man" were anything like the Blue Sharks recordings. All 3 Mike Morton Recordings were pretty poor. I also seem to remember all the tracks were faded together.

The 2012 thread.

I struggled to get £200 for mine.

I see the bidder have generally little feedback, usually a sign of ignorance

Yes you're right but the run out is smaller, it's from 1967, there were a gaggle of releases in the mid 70s from Monarch hence the matrix 100000, they did Patti Emblems, Duke Browner etc.

I've had a couple of these over the years, they're boots, all made mid/late 70s at our good friend Monarch's plant.

It's a boot. Under original

Have to wait and see if it gets re-listed.

Depends on condition, anything above EX for a demo should set you back about + - £800, the VeeGees seem to sell for about £500 - 600.

Four Larks - Groovin' at the go go - 1972 Catacombs Wolverhampton.

You kind wonder how in heavens name they get a release in these far off lands ?

Arrived in me letterbox yesterday morning Filipino (that means from the Philippines)

A rare Italian issue

Could be worse, this only came from 200 miles away

Would have thought about £250 - 300 for a demo, for an issue who knows ? £500 - 700 ?

They've been going up in price for the last couple of years 3 - 4 years ago you could fine one for £200 -300
