Peter Fenton - North American Office Listening Is Believing!
Hi Everyone. Although vinyl is making a fast comeback, and many swear that vinyl gives them a richer, fuller sound lacking in the DDD realm of Compact Discs, there is a "top of the line" Compact Disc that many consider to offer superior quality and range. Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs has reissued many classic albums from many musical genres onto 24kt "Ultradiscs." Most of these CDs were available through regular retail outlets, but have since become SERIOUSLY rare and sought after, as the diminished MP3 quality that the masses now utilize has given more prestige to the now out-of-print, top-end "MoFi" CDs. A few examples newly stocked for your attention include specimens by the likes of JONI MITCHELL [reply to this topic
Mark Evetts - UK Buyer Madonna madness... six badge set lollipops t-shirts
Euro 2008 continues and very enjoyable it is too - Without England being involved, you can sit back and just watch the games and it saves you a few quid and loads of your holiday allowance as well!
Come on Romania & Spain over the weekend! (purely for betting purposes...)

Michael Cambridge - UK Northern Office Madness Forget the credit crunch, mortgage despair, housing crisis and unwinnable wars as it seems our lame government has!. The latest high profile announcement from Whitehall isn't tackling our heavy reliance on borrowing or stemming the blood loss in the housing market, it's answer is providing free swimming - God help us!!.
What next free condom's for over 80's??.

Mark Evetts - UK Buyer worth a gamble... Euro 2008
A very open tournament in prospect and i'm celebrating it by planning to eat the food of one of the competing nations playing on each day, so tomorrow it will be a serious Turkish kebab. Sunday could be interesting - Schnitzel (Austria) followed by copious amounts of beer (Germany) & vodka (Poland) is on the cards...
Also tomorrow, there's another of the great British sporting institutions -
The Derby at Epsom . Haven't studied the form closely yet but Curtain Call stands out purely cos it's a a great
Damned track, while locally named Maidstone Mixture must have 3 legs judging by it's chances...

Saul Watson - Product Promotion BREAKING NEWS!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! Fantastic news just in from our good friends over at Planet Rock.
Four British rock stars and one rock and radio fanatic have teamed up to save the digital Radio Station from closure – and help build the brand, it was announced today (Thursday June 5th).
Rock and radio fan Malcolm Bluemel’s acquisition from GCAP Media is supported by some of rock’s biggest names -- Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson MBE, Gary Moore, and Fish – and saves Planet Rock from certain closure.
Thousands of fans were outraged and banged the drum to keep their favourite station on air – petitioning amongst others The Prime Minister and OFCOM to ‘Save Our Station’.
Fish joined his starry colleagues in welcoming the announcement: “I always knew that there was a visionary out there who would see the huge potential that Planet Rock has to offer. I am sure that the station will go from strength to strength.”
The consortium, headed by millionaire Bluemel, has plans to exploit the station’s unrivalled demographic to maximise revenues.
“The people at Planet Rock and their listeners are passionate about their music and their station, which is why I wanted to step in and help make it happen.
“Rock fans have been traditionally very poorly served in this country and Planet Rock is the place for them to feed their fanaticism.”
Bluemel, 55, who is helping to organise a reunion for former Radio Luxembourg DJs in the Grand Duchy this August, is fanatical about radio.
“I share the station’s passion for rock and radio. I marched in the 60s when Harold Wilson announced that he was shutting down the pirates.
“It has an authenticity and integrity booming out of it. Now we aim to take it to the next level, preserve all that’s great about the output and utilise other platforms to serve an even bigger audience in a wider variety of ways.
“The fact that so many artists have come together to help make this happen is testimony to the importance of the station.”
The development will act as a very positive marker for the digital radio industry.
Planet Rock’s listening figures are at an all time high, with a weekly reach of nearly 600,000 – better than a number of national BBC radio networks.
Trevor White, Programme Director for Planet Rock, said: “To say we’re happy with t...

Mark Evetts - UK Buyer Who are ya... Interesting and informative, certainly for anyone who's not a harcore Who nut, it made me realise 2 things.
The Who had better songs than both the Beatles or the Stones and Keith Moon was the best drummer in the world. Ever.
Didn't think there was much happening in the sporting world last week but lo and behold,
Usain Bolt goes and breaks the 100m sprint world record at just 21 years of age. Seeing the clip on the news, i'm not surprised because his legs are ginormus.
It's rumoured he could be even faster than our resident IT bod John (Kentucky) Thomson when he hears the tuck lady turn up in her van each morning...

Stephen Borkowski - UK Buyer Mirror Mirror On The Wall.....
For those of you that are not aware of his work, Mel was one of the biggest concert promoters of the 1970's having promoted concerts by the biggest names of the decade such as Queen, Cliff Richard, Elton John, David Bowie, The Jam and naturally Led Zeppelin - The list goes on and so did his work, right through the 1980's. He promoted such high profile gigs as Wham! The Final and numerous multi artist events such as The Princes Trust concerts.
At this time what we are able to offer are Mel's prized collection of commemorative mirrors. These are visually stunning display pieces that were commissioned by Mel and presented to a band or artist to congratulate them on a successful concert or tour. Mel always kept a duplicate for himself as a souvenir but feels the time has come to share this spectacular items with the fans of the bands he promoted all those years ago.
Over the next week or so we will be advertising mirrors by the following artists
Led Zeppelin
The Jam
Wham!
Santana
Roxy Music
Bryan Ferry
Wings
Osmonds
Slade
Queen
David Bowie
Vanessa Mae
Kim Wilde
A-Ha
Bad Company
Elton John
Jean Michel Jarre
and more.....
Keep checking the website as it may take a few days for the one you're waiting for to appear, but be warned, they will be sold on a first come, first serve basis and once they're gone the're gone, remember the only people who ever had these items were Mel Bush and the band they were presented to!

Mark Evetts - UK Buyer Peter Fenton - North American Office Space Children, Are There Any Others?
Hi Everyone. I'd like to think that my personal “Top-10 Albums” list is fairly eclectic. What you may not know is that the album NIGHTBIRDS by LaBELLE is near the top of my list, not simply because of its enduring smash single Lady Marmalade, but because it’s a crazy, soulful trip that is raw, gritty and hella funky. My mother bought the album upon its release in 1974, and it travelled with me to college and beyond. And now, after THIRTY-THREE YEARS, Patti LaBelle is reuniting with Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash for a new LaBelle album! They have turned to a combination of old and new to help them mastermind their return to the charts: Philadelphia If there is to be a tour, I will totally be there! CLICK HERE for a list of the fantastic rarities we have in stock by Miss Patti, ... [reply to this topic

Saul Watson - Product Promotion Lemmy THE MOVIE
The movie, tentatively titled Lemmy, will feature contributions from rock legends Slash, Dave Grohl, Mick Jones, Alice Cooper and Steve Vai amongst others.
One of the two directors, Greg Olliver says "Shooting Lemmy is like filming dangerous wildlife. He never does what you expect him to do, and he never does anything you want him to do. A lot of the coolest shots are shots we had to wait for four or five shows to go by before we could get them."
The film is due in 2009 and will feature a host more rock superstars in the final cut.

Stephen Borkowski - UK Buyer Sealed US Vintage Vinyl.... The majority of the stuff will be arriving in the UK towards the end of next week, however a dozen or so items will be on the website by the end of the day, so check my latest arrivals.
If you ever find yourself in Austin, Texas, both Peter and I heartily recommend
Blacks BBQ , situated in Lockhart, just 30 minutes outside of Austin - it's a treat but vegetarians are not welcome - You've been warned!
Prior to my US trip I purchased a massive haul of 1980's and 1990's CD singles and albums. The collection comprises a very wide array of pop, dance, hip hop, RnB, soul, plus lots of deleted soundtrack CDs. There are over 2000 items so there will be something for everyone.
