  1. What about Cillit Bang? Now there's a thought.............
  2. Yep - 46 years ago, and it's still hard to believe.......
  3. Don't have a sound clip I'm afraid - sold mine last year! But it's an excellent double-sider. "You Should Have Told Me" is, in my opinion, the better side. BTW - check Kirsty's post in Sales- she has one on Ebay at the mo.
  4. Spooky! I've just posted up about this in Freebasing!
  5. Just sent you a PM Andy.
  6. Have to say, it does look the biz tho........
  7. I'd say a realistic quote would be around £250 - £300.
  8. Aurally challenged if you please, Pete!!
  9. Absolutely - but for my sins, I have to say that I love the Leonard Whiting cover version that came out on UK Pye in 1965. Leonard was only 13 when he recorded it (3 years before he starred in the film dramatisation of Romeo & Juliet) and, on a serious point, is there any truth in the rumour that it was covered up as Bobbie Smith, because of the fact he sung it long before his voice broke?
  10. And when you consider the song was "Uphill Climb To The Bottom", it doesn't bear thinking about, does it!
  11. Look well neat! Thing is, most of the sleeves in the photos (bar the Fraternity and Atco ones) seem to date from the 50s.
  12. It does, doesn't it!
  13. There were tears in my eyes when I saw Eddie Holman sing "Hey There Lonely Girl" at Stafford........the bastard standing next to me was on my foot and wouldn't get off!
  14. Compost................. No, seriously, there are quite a few records that fall into that category. My personal grower, which grew on me and continues to, is the Mar-J's "Got To Find A Way Out".
  15. Just imagine being approached at an all-niter in two years time with "Psst! Wanna buy some tobacco"?
  16. Oh please! I looked at the title of the thread and thought it was another "now that we have your undivided attention" thingies about free beer and sex!
  17. Not unless one of my colleagues has spiked my coffee Stuart!
  18. Agree Tony - the record in the books as "You're My Everything" is so rare to the point that it doesn't exist!! It's "Your Love Is Everything" that they forgot to mention!!
  19. "It's an uphill climb to the bottom", thought the spider to himself as he slowly edged his way up the man's leg.
  20. This is the first time I have paid attention to the lyrics - aren't they just awesome! Pulls at the heart strings in just a few lines!
  21. Hi Ady, Thanks for the Gogate help. Really good to see you all last Friday! Have a good weekend, and look forward to catching up with you soon. All the best, Gene
  22. Probably - I've always been led to believe that "Just Wait & See" by Little John is an only known copy. But I think there are a few copies of "A Letter A Day" by the Trent Sisters.
  23. Updated - two bits sold and taken off, and a new item added........
  24. And here, from my personal collection, is one of the first American coloured vinyl 45s. It dates back to 1949, the year 45s were first made available in the USA. It's released by RCA, who were the first record company to issue coloured vinyl 45s. This would have been their 4th release; "Cool Water" by Sons Of The Pioneers.
  25. You'll certainly stand out a mile at the next Solid Hit Soul then, Warren!!
