Picked this up at the midweek boot sale 4 or 5 years ago for £2. This months Record Collector has a feature on it. Wayne says most of the 1000 copies are upstairs in his house as he didn't want it released. They've valued it at £60
It is best to forget The Wonder Stuff completely.

The Powerstation stuff sounds interesting. Kaleidoscope may be interested in that.

Oh bugger. He's not been well.
Got the 12" but the 7" has eluded me so far.
Was at a midweek boot sale yesterday. Stall full of records. Asked how much the singles were and was told "All different prices. Nothing for a pound or less" just as I hit a stack of UK Bucks Fizz singles. Quickly walked away.
(Roy) Chubby Brown – The Condom Song
An image for which I do most sincerely apologise but I am a completist. Billed on the cover as Chubby's first single release, which it wasn't by at least six years.
Little & Large – A 1981 single that became their default anthem throughout the heady TV years of the 1980s, Around The Old Camp Fire, with the added bonus of a Bernard Wrigley b-side.
An Australian World Record Club release. It can't have been easy designing two characters for the album sleeve that looked absolutely nothing like either Peter Sellers or Sophia Loren.
Wednesday was midweek boot sale day.

Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart's crowning vinyl achievement/ego-fuelled vanity project (depending on your point of view) which sees everyone's favourite DJ conducting and singing along with a full children's choir. Dare you enter – The World Of Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart
Dennis Waterman – So Good For You
A whole LP's worth of top tunes, first released in 1980 at the height of Mindermania, and then again in 1981 on budget label Music For Pleasure.
This was among a load of singles that came in to wRECk Records. Sadly, the disc was scratched and the picture cover, which I had never seen before, was drawn over.
Jim Davidson – Maggie
Sadly his one great love Mrs Thatcher died without ever once reciprocating Jim's deep carnal lust...
Orange album cover
I picked up a celebrity football programme thing a couple of years back at the midweek boot sale. It's signed 'Fancy Smith' which I assume to be Brian as he was playing in the match.
It must be awful for you.

Thought that looked an awful lot like an early Cliff comp there. Guess it done like that on purpose.
See. Two HUGE markets cattered for there
