Hi I have just got this original 45 out of my shed to check and its by G G All Stars on Explosion lable 1970.

I must have 50 odd originals tucked away in the shed from over 40 years ago and no Dansette record player for the last 35 years. i have mangaed to obtain lots of old reggae songs on CDs over the years and there are many on Youtube that can easily be downloaded and converted to mp3 for the modern players

thanks mate loved that tune especaily the start of the track,

Hi, I'm the second from front. Terry Spencer the photographer and a driver took us up london to take photos for Life magazine. they was doing an article about skinheads in Britain.  the way we lived and dressed and what we got up to as skinheads. the article ended up in Time magazine.


Hello Gel boy, welcome to the thread! Time magazine... well that's very prestigious.... I hadn't imagined there was much interest in Skinheads in America at the time. Was it for the American edition of Time? I understand there was also a European edition.

Dansettes cost a fortune these days!

Talking of iconic images....... that's a great poster (can see why your mam wasn't enamoured of it though!)


I had that poster on my wall when it first came out, Couple of years ago i got a original copy with the poster and price tag on ebay for Mandy J, cost £20.

That's not bad, really when you think how much the rare singles sell for. Believe it's your birthday tomorrow: got anything planned?

Hi mate.
Is this possible? I've made enquiries about this myself recently. I've been told to use 'mozilla firefox'.
I have no idea if this is safe, or even works.
I've got loads of reggae vinyl which I need converting to cd/mp3 and I can't be arsed to buy one of the digital turntable converter thingies.
It Can't be illegal if you already own the 45 or Lp, so I'd be happy to give it a go :)

Hi All I have done is downloaded ‘free Youtube to MP£ converter’ from ‘DVD Video soft’ from web.

I then select the required video on Youtube and right click the videos taskbar when playing and select ‘copy video URL’ and the paste to ‘free Youtube to MP£ converter’ window and follow instructions. You can then burn to CD or transfer to MP3 player

Pretty straightforward. I have managed to find lots of songs that I have not seen on CDs and that I thought would never hear again

Didn't mean to cause offence, so apologies if it seemed that way. I'm well aware of Mr Greenaway's reputation and indeed he was a legend amongst us 'in the know' - he was always held in high esteem around the country, not just in London.
A good friend of mine who was one of the well known Bristol faces who followed Chelsea introduced me and a few of my mates to him, let's just say there was a misunderstanding and I got a bit of a slap - not from Chelsea I hasten to add.:embar:


No offence taken mate. :)
