I see from a note on the JM site that the Cotillion release was withdrawn and replaced with Mojo Hannah. The Cotillion release also has the different B Side to the other "Run" releases. I don't know the story behind this, any info? Also there was the Contempo release in 1975. Did this have another mid 70's revival ?

Here's one with a center Mick

Yes, it's from South AFrica. Says 1971 on the label so must have been released at the same time as MOJO/pop chart.

Think I've posted this before, but just in case....

It's listed in JM's Rarest of the Rare with a sound clip. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/index.php/rarest-of-the-rare/all/19 (hope that link works)

Hi Steve, pm sent. Thanks, Kev Bod

Hi Folks, On that screen shot item, I'm not the seller OR a Bidder. It was just a 45 I was watching. I get the same info on other 45s as well, even if they are not on my watch list. My screen just changed yesterday. Didn't reset anything or adjust any bits and bobs. Only works for me on ebay.com so far. A bit of a mystery as some seem to have this facility and some don't.

Hi Mick, It also works like that for items I'm not watching

Hi Mike, Not sure how to copy screen onto this reply but here's a PDF screen print

how many. Just interesting I suppose. Gives you an idea of likely competition if you think you've found a hidden gem!!

Hi Barry, It's items on my watch list accessed via ebay.com. The number of watchers isn't shown on ebay.co.uk Not sure why/how. Not items I have for sale.

I've just noticed that when you look at a record on eBay, it now tells you how many people are watching it. I've not been able to see this before. It's intereting to see how many people are watching certain records. No doubt some may bid, but some just curious. Is this new or have I not been viewing the most upto date version?? Kev Bod

Hi, I'm no expert (get that in before anyone else!) This one states that CSS is Malasian... https://www.45cat.com/record/css3017 This gives a bit more info and says it's Singapore.. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/smithy57/the_australian__tateside_label___the_oss_series_1964_1968 although I've also seen records listed as being from SIngapore with a different prefix. Not sure if that helps Cheers Kev Bod

Here's a better scan. Cheers Kev Bod

South AFrican here Desmond Decker here froom 1968 JSS1225. Oscar was 1967 with JSS 1142 https://www.45cat.com/record/jss1225

A bit tatty but you get all the info.

Do you think it could be a Jamaican issue? I have the UK demo if you want to compare. Cheers Kev Bod

Billy Watkins always makes me smile...quote... "they dig my fast delivery !" "they love the way I move about !!" and the best.. "I don't make a mess, I get in and out !!!" I didn't like it until I realised it was intended as a "nod and a wink" have a laugh type thing.

Hi Dave, Is this OK or do you need it to be e-mailed? I could also do the whole record or pop it in an RCA sleeve if you prefer. cheers Kev Bodley

I agree with Pete. All the DB Revilot discs I have are styrene. Here's the Grey and Demo you mention. Kev Bod

I had a record caught by the customs charges about 4 months ago. £15 handling charge PLUS 20% of declared value. This was a £55 ish record so worked out at £26 costs = 47%!!!! The worst thing was, the 45 was yellow wax and decribed as Mint Minus. It LOOKED mint minus but played POOR MINUS. I retuned it and got a refund but not the customs charges.
