    Thats why I think all these who played it first threads are rubbish. What people are asking is, when did an established/big name DJ at an established/big name venue play a tune first. The said big name DJ could have heard it played at a smaller venue or off of a tape/CD by someone who's not in or is on the periphery of the "big venue" events. Its also another avenue of praising the same big name DJ and raising the pedestal they're on just one notch higher, towards the almighty one.

    For security, I'd remove you bank details

    The issue is on SS7 is problematic to get as they dont turn up as often as you'd expect and I've never seen one on 77. I Probably dreamt it, but I thought I've seen a South African three pronged monument release of this too.

    Must have been a constant seller as there are 2 more variants of it on PYE's successor PRT (which also had the same number)

    I haven't got any myself, but from a design perspective I think its a very clever marketing ploy. They look like originals, but due to the star on the label (however small), you know they're not. I think its a lot more honest than some of the recent re-presses where you have to look even more carefully for differences, such as matrix numbers in the wax, which could leave someone duped irrespective of their knowledge or experience.

    My thoughts too, after looking at the scan an listening to the clip, though it was very losely graded

    The white ones were Quality distributed. When Curtom moved to Warners in the US they were then distributed by WEA Cananda and were the same colouring as the US releases

    A few years back I found a local news artical talking about Dicky Wonder being August Moon and there was a picture of him. I created a pdf and uploaded to this site, but I cant find the post any more.

    Has never really sold for lots of money, but has always been a sod to get hold of. Even when it appeared on a Dave Godin Kent CD or when John Ridley highlighted it on his web site none really appeared, which is unusual as a few record dealers generally dig them out and raised the prices ride the wave of opportunity generated by these avenues of interest.

    I think Round Robin Monopoly - I'd Rather Loan You Out will become a more popular tune

    I had a conversation with Les Fisher back in 2008 when he posted "How" and tagged it as Hi rather than Pawn, as I'd never seen one. He confirmed his copy was on Hi.

    Don't think they can. Leagally under the distance selling rules, the buyer is allowed to return a purchase (even for old items), for a full refund even if there is nothing wrong with the merchandise.

    You can already do it of sorts. Mr Manship offers a 7 day no quibble guarantee. Fill ya boots with him on your credit card on a Wednesday, receive the record by the weekend. Play your gig and send it back on the Monday, you may get charged some interest and that’s your hire fee, job done. There were rumours a while back, that a couple of radio DJ’s did this, but unsure who the records were temporarily bought from.

    I don't really agree with your comment. Because a record sells for £500 doesn't mean its rare, more that its in-demand. There are many rarer records that sell for less as they're not in vogue or dancers.

    And flowers was 950

    So with Jean Terrell, the situation could have been, the seller buys it from from James Devlin's ebay sales 2 weeks before for £16+£1.50 postage, gives it to Mr Manship who sells it for £79. Take off £19.75 for commission, your still left with a profit of £41.75, which aint bad for selling what we all know is a common record, even on an issue.

    The soundclip didn't sound that good, quite a lot of eggs and bacon

    Walter Jackson - It's all over was released on Aussie CBS

    I dont remember seeing an issue with a with a large 45, as that was one of the first things I looked for when buying Okeh issues. Seems to have been quite popular accross Europe as I think it was issued on Epic in a few countries

    But the problem with that is you have to get the other persons banking details, this way you only need a phone number.

    Its a UK initiative to begin with. The banks really got hit hard when paypal intoduced the Gift option and allowed to pay people via their mobile phones and its their way of "hopefully" getting payment volumes back into the banking system. I would expect this to go International as cross boarder money laudering issues are ironed out. Some of the initial players have a global retail presence, so it would make sence for it to extend throughout the world.

    It might be worth contacting Glyn Thornhill as he had a couple

    I take it this thread is about 7s priced higher than the LP’s that contain the same recording and lots of time the LP and the single edits are slightly different. On the other side you’ve got the Turner Brothers who’s “Lets Go Fishing” on 7” goes for around £150 whereas the LP Act 1 goes for about a grand, due to the other tracks not release as a single.

    Got and Australian release on 7"

    If the winners outside the US, it'll probably be cheaper to get on a plane to Chicago, collect it in person and then get the next plane back home.
