That's very interesting, I have a Helen Shapiro acetate from an Abbey Road session in '65 - same handwriting, with KS initials. It always reminded me of Max's handwriting - I even asked him once, and he said, no, not him.

PM'd you

It's a '65 . Yes, I liked the wheels too, they came with the car. Somehow they lasted all the time I had it and didn't wear out (apart from a few punctures).

I sold a lot of my records in about '83 to buy my car. This was me with it a few weeks after I'd got it, at my mates house. I kept it until about the turn of the century, but it had been off the road for about 5 or 6 years by then. Just a couple of the records are probably worth more than the car now. One of them was Jimmy Burns, and I also remember letting Andy Spencer have a complete set of Labeat records including the two biggies at the time, AW and LT, and future biggies like "How" etc,). Loved the car, but when I think of all the other things I let go to finance the car . . . Cheers Mick

Thanks Joan, thought it would be obvious. Merry Christmas.

Been bugging me since yesterday, this is one of my records from about 82 / 83. I found it on a tape with no track listing whilst looking for a completely different tape. I've put up a short clip, hope it's OK. Dont Know 01.mp3 If anyone can identify it, that would be great. Cheers Mick

Yep. think we posted at the same time. The reason I said "nearly" all the Younghearts are the same short version is because there is an anomaly. It is Canterbury release, styrene, as "Little Togetherness" by Younghearts that plays the long Millionaire version. It has the same Delta number but a slightly different matrix to the equivalent short version. It used the same labels as the normal "Little Togetherness" short version (with the same short time) so is only obvious through playing it, or being completely familiar with the matrixes. In all my years of searching for this, the only persion who ever mentioned it was DJ Honkey in NY Cheers Mick

Tempos is normal version, as are "nearly" all the Younghrearts / Canterbury releases (All the times on labels only confuse. They're all the same.) New Younghearts on Soultown is the longer version (Now you don't have to be baby - a millionaire . . . . ) The third release as Kings Of Hearts / Zea reverted back to the Canterbury short version.

Thanks folks - I'm back in now. So that's all good then. Cheers Mick

Hmmm - Still down for me.

Thanks Stubbsy, at least it's not us with a problem. I'll keep checking myself.

I wonder if it is a UK thing. I've had similar problem before, turned out to be an ISP problem. I use Talk Talk and I'm in th UK.

Hey that's sort of what I wanted to hear. It means I needn't bother checking settings and browser crap anymore. Thanks Russell. Cheers Mick

I'm having trouble loading the musicstack.com website. I can go to all other sites (eg. here) with no problems, both http and https type sitesare fine, just not musicstack. My PS says nothing wrong, must be the site, but checked on one of the site checkers and it is showing musicstack as working fine, so I could really do with someone else testing out the link ... musicstack.com , and let me know if it's OK or not. Cheers Mick

One of my favourites ... "I was down and I was living in misery without penny the epitome of poverty" (Len Barry, from IOU, also recorded by Johnny Caswell) Cheers Mick

That's the yellow image from further up this post, converted to greyscale, and the Audition etc. typed over.

Hi Dave, Thought you'd have had that already - I remember you asked me about it a year or so, and I sent you the discogs listings page - there were a few for sale at £20 - £30. - They're still there. Maybe you hever picked up the message, anyway, glad you got one now. Cheers Mick

Yes, that's what i meant by older teenagers. I think it was about 2011 it was posted, so probably about that time

This is Jerry presumably showing some of those older teenagers how to do "the 81"

For me it would be being there while Dean Courtney recorded I'll Always Need You.

The numbering system is similar to the Philly All Stars city edits (AE7 1131 etc.) so it looks like it was never intended for release at this point in time, just a promo fo the LP.

Richard Searling, Russ, Pep in the early years.

I thought it was the large test issue that was first (same size text as the demo). It was a good six months or more before JA at Soul Bowl had multiple copies for sale and they were all small text (as picture in previous post). I suppose John could have had the small text release in earlier and was selling then selectively, but they never appeared on his list until later, as mentioned above. Cheers Mick

Don't forget the Motor City. Temptations / Four Tops / Supremes / Contours / Brenda Holloway / Velvelettes / Marvelettes / Vandellas / Marvin / Tammi / Kim ... and many, MANY more all recorded an uncountable quantity of top quality "Northern" recordings, both released and unreleased. Cheers Mick Did I mention Barbara McNair, or Stevie Wonder, or Jimmy Ruffin, or Chuck Jackson, or . . .

Probably wrong, but it looks like a label that has been taken off something else, original text at 10'oclock obliterated, green tape stuck over remaining text, and Dusty's name added. It does look old, but so do 70's emidiscs. I can think of no reason to use ticker tape, other than to cover up some other text.
