I've seriously collected records for well over 50 years now - I collect all genres, especially reggae, vintage rock 'n' roll and punk/new wave, basically whatever takes my fancy. However, reggae is by far my main passion, and has been since early 1970, especially UK and US pressed 7" reggae singles.

I have also been selling reggae since 1977. For anyone interested, I sell reggae 7" weekly on ebay (iloveoxfordutd) every Thursday night see here, usually from 8:00pm.

Cheers,

Andy

Charlie Chalk 4th May 2024		Book Laurence Cane-Honeysett - Reggae Business	I've just received some information about this book: The box set was shelved for a variety of reasons, primarily relating to the costs and distribution, although there’s an outside chance that it finally sees release, as all of the component parts were ready to go. In terms of the promo copies of the book, It's thought that there were around 20 copies printed, which were sent to the book's contributors, some record company managers and a few select others. Three test pressings of each of the vinyl releases were manufactured, and possibly the same number of CDRs were created for each of the discs. It looks a great box set - I do hope that one day it appears.
Charlie Chalk 28th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Susan Cadogan - Doing It Her Way	Hurt So Good: [YouTube Video] This version was recorded in London, and is different to the Jamaican recorded version put out on 7". Here are some comments Susan gave to me about this track and the LP as a whole: "I had to re-record "Hurt So Good" for Magnet Records after they lost the legal case for ownership to Trojan Records in 1975. Magnet had bought out the rights and they flew me over and supported my stay in London and I had signed with them. Peter Waterman produced the new version of "Hurt So Good" and this LP for Magnet who could no longer use the original. I also recorded a version for BBC Top of the Pops which I mimed to, whenever I did the show." "My London "Hurt So Good" produced by Pete Waterman. They tried to make it as much like the original as possible. To think of all the months, weeks and days I spent with Pete...even shopping together....I wonder if he even remembers? Pete and Peter Shelley wrote the follow up single "Love Me Baby" Tony King was the arranger and a whole orchestra played on this album. I was young and very shy ..Pete chose all the tracks we did..."
