No need to worry Stu - the Mary Millington and Harry Secombe bits haven't sold, so will be sure to bring them along!

Hehehe!! I've got 2 copies (backed with "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines), both in pic sleeves! Offers, anyone?

"...everyone on here is a distant type of mate and you would do things for mates before you did something for someone you didnt know at all if you know what Im getting at..." What - no takers on anything yet??? Fine lot of mates you all turned out to be! (have more bloody "mates" in a packet of condoms at this rate!)

Frankie Cherval "How Come/Tag Along" was released in the UK on MGM (MGM 1183) in 1962, so I assume the US copy is on MGM or Cub as well.

As a mark of respect and common courtesy, here are some sales for all my mates on Soul Source before they go on Ebay: HARRY SECOMBE: Hits From My Fair Lady (Philips EP) £4 ABBA: Waterloo (Swedish Polar 45) £8 MINIPOPS: Minipops Medley (Sony 45) £2 BILL HALEY: Rock Around The Clock (MCA Reissue 45) £4 HARRY BELAFONTE: Calypso (UK HMV EP) £4 E T MENSAH: Mensah Melodies (Decca EP) £20 RAVI SHANKAR: Joi Bangla (Apple 45) £8 MRS MILLS: It's Party Time With.....

All unsold items will be advertised on Ebay at a starting price of 10p (for the lot).

"Alone With No Love" by the Contemplations (only for its instrumental B-side). Took over 20 years, from September 1983 until I got one in January 2004! Gene

Whatever happens to turn up for sale first....

I have absolutely no interest in how Borough Councillors get rid of their waste!

You should have played the other side, "Which One Should I Choose" - mediocre up-tempo dancer, but I like it!! I think this is the side it's sold for in the past. Also looks great on a yellow UK London demo!

Well, let's face it - folks in America have their soul singers, and we in Britain have a***sole singers!

You started collecting reggae then Ady? Or is is just something I've never known about you?

Cheers Paul!

Janine, May be able to help you out there. Will keep you posted. Gene xxxxxx

Anyone know of a value for the UK issue on Sonet? Reason I ask is I just got a Mint one really cheaply, and anyway, I like Johnny Otis (partlcularly his stuff on Capitol) so I'm holding on to it!

Would "How Can I Forget" have been banned from airplay at its time, due to Joey Dee's heavy breathing in the second verse? Note that it was also left in for the instrumental side - sounds bloody ridiculous!

Can't even guess at today's value but hey.......one out of two ain't bad! Enjoy the sound clip.

Anyone seen it on the Radio City label? Would love to see a scan if anyone has one!

About £75.

Definitely a booteg - and a crap quality one with it. For a start, same colour as the demo, but "Special Disc Jockey Record" is missing, and the typeface is arsed about with. And it still commands interest at £30! BTW - there are 2 different issues, which are either dark blue/silver, or black/silver. Hope this helps!

The one on Ebay strikes me as a definite original for two reasons: 1. There isn't a noticeable bevelled edge. 2. Most importantly, on the bootleg, the typeface for the title "When I'm With My Baby" is different to the one for "Count The Days". It is a more bolder, modern typeface. Looking at the pics on Ebay here, the typefaces for both titles appear to be the same; nothing like the boot. Hope this helps. Gene

Clue - someone has it on their auctions at the moment!

Ian - that's a whole half-verse in one line with half a lyric removed - cheat!!! OK Ian, something a bit harder for you then: "When I was just a little girl, I never did no wrong"

Dunno, but I believe it was covered up as "Out On The Floor" by Dobie Gray. Here's one then: "Every time I hear your name, makes me wonder if things will ever be the same........"

Nothing dodgy about this one!

Sorry Mark - but I've promised to keep Mace's secret a secret! If anyone meets my mum, don't tell her I've sold it! PS - For an extra £10, who wants the Pic Sleeve it came in???
