OldMod67 6th Jan 2025 | | BookJoy Division - New Order : A History In Cuttings (1977-1983) | I've dated this as 1984, the contents being up to 1983. I can't recall when I got it, but pretty sure it was before the Mark Johnson book (1984)
No publisher or compiler; a mine of info in the pre-internet era!
Rear cover is blank.

OldMod67 3rd Jan 2025 | | Vinyl AlbumAmbrose Kelly Reynolds - Greatest Hits | B4 is Automatic Pop Shot Guns, no 'artist'. I did enter this with the artist blank, which the system obviously doesn't like! Note: B4 entry now sorted by unknown mod, thank you.
I've entered the release date as 1983, with ZULU 2 being listed as such although I have seen it listed elsewhere as 1982. I bought it around 1985.
ZULU 2 is by Pink Industry, which featured Ambrose Reynolds, also of Big In Japan.

OldMod67 28th Nov 2024 | | BookRichard Barnes - Mods! | @russh229: Mine had a load of pages come out too, though not as bad as the Who Maximum R&B book (1982) which has been kept in an LP plastic sleeve for decades. Also an Eel Pie publication, I presumed it was a manufacturing issue not just they were well read! However the Who book had a flexi enclosed, which may have weakened it.
|
OldMod67 5th Nov 2024 | | CD AlbumPaul McCartney - Flaming Pie | Their is another variation (which I've not added as a separate entry) which is almost as this issue, except the disc itself is richer in colour, almost red hued flames.

OldMod67 19th Oct 2024 | | BookVarious Authors - West Howe Proper | @carryonsidney: I've PM'd you so I don't turn the comments into my message service!
|
OldMod67 17th Oct 2024 | | BookVarious Authors - West Howe Proper | Wow, that's flown by. The Wonderholme is still there...
I'm hoping to locate the second volume at a decent price one day, but once out of print many local books get quite expensive.
|
OldMod67 15th Oct 2024 | | BookVarious Authors - West Howe Proper | @carryonsidney: Yeah, I missed them originally. They came out five or six years before I joined the book trade and were privately published. I've been keeping an eye out for a few years as I do like my local books, but the print runs can't have been massive. They crop up occasionally online, but usually expensive, the last one I saw online was about £90! I finally stumbled on book one in a chazza, priced at 75p, I nearly fell over.

Meanwhile, some Ottakar's branches carried ranges from the same source; the Poole branch having Francis Frith books and notebooks to match.
