    What?

    You been phone harassed with stupid questions?

    Now those guys you testified against know where you live?

    You didn't sell anything?

    You don't really own any of these records you're offering?

    This was the 80s, though, judging by the telephone code, and back then you could buy the new Terence Trent Darby lp, get a flat top and spend the night drinking Crucial Brew and dancing to the Pasadenas at a warehouse party and still have change left from twenty quid to buy the Sunday Correspondent next morning.

    Can't remember - fifty/sixty quid maybe?

    It was unplayed when I bought it a few years before, got it from a record fair in Birmingham, it was sat in a box I hadn't looked through until the end of the day, for a fiver I think.

    If only you'd used the description "Mod Psych Dancer" rather than just "Mod Psych" you could have easily added £1 to the price.

    Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you'll suck forever.

    Excellent stuff John !

    Just looking through an old 1980 Funhouse Records catalogue - in their '3 for £5' section : Roger Bunn 'Piece Of Mind' on Major Minor, Faust 'So Far' on Polydor, Bread Love & Dreams 'Strange Tale Of Capt Shannon' on Decca, ..........and Mellow Candle 'Swaddling Songs' on Deram !!

    .....all alongside things like the hari-krishna/charity shop staple Summer 'Flying Home' !
    "Cover condition:Is perfect except on back cover theres an area of dirty smudge dont know what it is and covers a bit wrinkled which im sure could be flattened out"
