Hi Gogs
Nice set buddy. Worthy of more than one dancer! I'm sure many others apppreciated the records - they just hadn't found their dancing feet.

That's a very good point Martin. Technically it's known as 'passing off' but let's say you're the Del Capris who sang "Hey Little Girl" and suddenly you're confronted with a legitimate release that credits you as the artist on a different song by a different group, then that would probably be a real pisser. That was probably Richard being cute with the cover-up name because of the similarity in the titles.
Plus think about the poor buggers in the Construction too. They make one record and by a fluke of fate it goes big in the UK and then they find that they're gonna be known as Del Capris in future!
In fact, even Discogs has 'em both listed as the same act which kinda underlines my point:-

Bah! Talk about confusing. Who has the bloody time to spend unravelling this stuff.....?

Grrrr!!!!!
Someone else gave us the heads up on this the other nite so kept a tab open on my lap top to remind me.
I didn't get back from work till twenty past nine and have therefore missed the first bit which has probably ruined the entire fecking show! :dash2:
I can see a Plus 1 for nearly every all channel but not BBC 4! The bloody bastards are conspiring against me! I'm sure I can hear voices outside.
BUGGER!!!

That is just so wrong Chalky!
We took a young lad with us to Clifton Hall once and stopped at a road side cafe on the way back to Lincs. He ordered something fried with like a side of pea soup! We put him in the boot of the car for the rest of the journey home. He never asked to go again.
Sorry off topic.

There were not many I knew and knocked around with in the 80's that would have even looked at a sausage bap - never mind tackled one.
You must have been one of the few good boys!

Mm, just done a quick search which suggests £300. So, probably £200 in the world of Mr Smith.
It's a nice record and the issue is definitely prettier.
