Yes that’s what I meant he stamped those he gave out so unstamped were known to be dodgy.

So one of the over pressed 45s was marked up by Ady, sorry I didn’t read that detail before posting.

Got to agree. always hearing great new stuff. the new releases recently have been very strong particularly the Larry and the illustrators. The ballad side is immense.

Impossible to know if it’s from the official or unofficial batch then. That makes it very awkward

Yes this really defines northern to me along with tomangoes and Salvadors.

Flowers for real is about the perfect record for me. there are so many I just love hearing but this might be the best

It’s not just me then.

Didn’t manage to get a decent shot of northern lights but was pleased with this sunset.

Just got red alert here but it’s quite cloudy hopefully it clears Yes camera will pick it up better than eyes

After the support act played at libertines gig in Birmingham last night Bobby Kline “say something nice to me” played…. and a few other more well known soul tunes. the libertines were also fantastic great gig all round.

there was the Eddie Parker ARCHER stamped and not stamped discussion with a lot of in depth comments

I know party over yonder / I need you is it also on another release with a different flip ? I need you is great deep soul I used to have this 45.

That’s a really nice record jump in price does seem very excessive though.

EBay fees will take a good chunk of that. either way as good as the record is it’s just to well known off the scene now so pretty much dead.

Was the embracers “gotta get away” on spectrum one of marks ? Still never heard that one….

Had similar feelings about late 80s clubs, raves and Ibiza 😂

@Roburt i believe nick hornby is simply asking a question not expressing his views. Reading between the lines of what he is saying I would say his views are aligned to yours. when he says does listening to melancholic songs make you sad I believe he is suggesting it probably doesn’t ? i might be wrong but that’s my perception. i believe you can find strength or understanding in these songs some of the best soul songs tell strong emotional stories. rainbow road being a great example. the look on your face being a story of two halves and a great dance floor track. magic touch upbeat happy song or a tragic story of domestic violence.

Yes some excellent input from Nick just sad that as time goes on this detail and the people pushing to find it will reduce

Yes that’s how I understood it as well added that to a recent thread

A reference to a man who would move in on soldiers wives while they were away fighting.

My mistake I meant large. There is the other untidy stamp that looks wrong.

I gave up I’m not sure that everybody agrees yet so no 100% confirmation small archer stamp seems to be definitive original opinions differ on some other variants

Love the direction that these records took the scene. Some great memories and still having a big impact now.

Jimmy Mack flip is a new one to my ears what a fantastic side. I used to have the billy nitro a long time ago plenty of legs in that don’t think I’ve ever heard it in a DJ spot ?

But there will be more than one stack of labels for a pressing probably ? guess it depends how the machine is stacked for labels.
