My Prince haul at the Wrekka Stow

Just proof that wrekka stows still have nuggets if u r willing 2 look for them. I got tehse 4 at bargain prices.

[img:$uid]http://i46.tinypic.com/2u786l5.jpg[/img:$uid]

These four I got for a total of about $35, all play fine. Top row a 12 inch German pressing of Lets Pretend were married, next to it a German Pressing of 1999 with Lets Pretend were married as a Bside!!. Below my Delirious promotional single and bottom left is a planet rock version of the charade (I am talking about it only mods).

[img:$uid]http://i49.tinypic.com/bwz6h.jpg[/img:$uid]

Here is a back view, you may notice the Delirious 12 inch has a plain back.

[img:$uid]http://i47.tinypic.com/2rmljic.jpg[/img:$uid]

Back of the German 1999 12 inch, obviously an ad in a market where this music was still catching on. The ad has singles for Time 777 -9311/The walk and Vanity 6 Nasty/Girl, there is also a Chic and a Zapp single (Dancefloor). This thing must be quite scarce

[img:$uid]http://i48.tinypic.com/2u8jv2f.jpg[/img:$uid]

The Charade bootleg, plays perfectly has the 1985 mix of Old Friends, all of my dreams, little girl wendy's parade and others here with us.

Wow I need a record player I think or just listen to them on a free one in the library. What do you guys, good value or not. I am pretty pleased.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Funny how things change. Growing up, having a turntable in the house was as mandatory as a standard household appliance! lol

I'd go without a stove first, I had to have my stereo.

Nice finds.

I think it's funny they felt the need to cut down a 3:56 song to 2:36. Did they not think people had that long of an attention span?

That record was dated 1982, so my guess is it may be b4 the official release, maybe it was sent to disc jockeys to test the waters. If it is b4 1983, it may be also because it was b4 Little Red Corvette hit big, and Prince was still a relatively unknown commodity outside of the funk scene.

Of course they didn't cut it that far.

Also it does not have Horny Toad as a Bside (Apparently that song was made after the 1999 album)

This record is an interesting piece of history though, the record label inside looks rougher than the released single.

I know honey, its called humour, have u heard of that, in case you have not, read below.

And for your information I am from New Zealand, a country which has some of the best spoken English in the world. I speak proper English and know RP and can speak the Queens English. In fact many kiwis consider their English better than most of the English spoken in United Kingdom, such as the Lancashire accent "ere thats ow Terry it is, we goon to do some sing ging"

But this is Prince org, I am going to relax use slang and even ebonics if I want too, so there, I know my posts are usually full of grammar and spelling mistakes, but this can be blamed on bad typing skills (2 finger and fat fingers) and laziness rather than stupidity. You will notice most of the mistakes are either missing a letter or have the wrong letter order due to TWO FINGER TYPING being out of sequence. I sound a lot better than I type!!!!!!

But you know Haterz gonna hate.

Adore cream, yes I am aware of humour, that human thing that can make people chuckle right? I'm also painfully aware of the line from cherry moon which does nothing to make me laugh. In fact I struggle to find any humour in that movie, probably due to prince and I's differences.

And yes, I knew exactly why you used it. I'm not an idiot. My sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit but it's the highest form of intelligence.

Nice copy of Charade by the way. And my poor text is down to my phone and org comparability wink

linguistics would argue that rp IS THE MOST INCORRECT WAY TO SPEAK oops shouting as it was"created" by the aristocracy

geordie,

scouse and the like is THE correct way

NZ may use "correct" english in parts becouse its a colony colonised by white english people

plus sorry man.as a geordie i dont follow your lancashire dig??

Thats cool. But you may know I usually always have very bad spelling errors in all my posts. Even on this one I have tehse in the first sentence, yes its naive about our accent.

I just really loved Under the Cherry Moon (And I know not that many orgers did) its very unique, so I have always used it to refer to anything I do with Prince vinyl. I borrowed it too, along with the idea a few years ago several orgers also called their threads wrekka stows when they were going on about finding similar things in shops.

Jonylawson, u must be pretty amped ure going Monday, I have to bloody wait until Tuesday am, couldn't afford or get seats for the Monday show, ouch.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

It was on Coronation Street, and the sing ging part is from the Last Choir standing show. The Terry is Jack and Vera Duckworth, two regulars on Coronation Street a few years ago. We have a lot of English migrants here who can't believe that most Kiwis think the English should sound like Coronation Street or Eastenders characters

Oh I see, excuse my ignorance of TV. Kiwi's are not alone in thinking that England (or indeed the UK) is not what is portrayed on television.

Thank god I have a wife that doesn't like soaps. They are banned from my home. Admittedly she does like Come Dine With Me (why doesn't the Sky red interactive button allow me to go all nazi and gas the occupants of each home (this includes Big Brother, X Factor, Britain's Got (Fuck All It Would Seem) Talent and so on)?).

I do however have a crack addiction to Storage Wars, Billy the Exterminator and Swamp People. I guess they count as soap operas. They have a comedic irony about them though. I hope they see the joke.

And feel free to take the mick out of regional dialects. It doesn't bother me. Just don't take the piss out of the scouse accent though. There is nothing funny about that one. It should be drowned in a vat of acid and burnt at the stake. A bit like scousers themselves actually.

That applies to every country/region on the planet surely.

Amercans = evangelical nutters, no idea how big Europe is, can't spot anything other than America on a map.

Australians = barbeque lovers, aborigine haters, funny accents, Paul Hogan's knife, don't live in most of the country as it's barren or full of crocs.

Eastern Europeans = English benefit scrounging no-goods, high cheek bones, women forced into sex industry, men stocky and have bad taste in jeans, all like cabbage.

French = cheese eating surrender monkeys, smokers, wine drinkers (not a bad thing), appreciative of great food, nice bread, ride bikes with onions and stripey t-shirts, Paris full of muggers, burn sheep, get stroppy and go on strike at every opportunity yet failed to do fuck all in 1939 when we all could have done with it.

Germans = no sense of humour, bright, given the chance would probably have another go at taking over the world, no sense of humour, horrible accent, no sense of humour.

Italians - nice women, overpriced coffee, beautiful country, stunning architecture (the best the world has ever seen I imagine), dead painters, can't drive, best cars in the world, can't drive, bit poncy, can't shoot straight (along with driving).

English = tendency to kick off during a football match or after or before, can't accept they longer rule the world, pissed off with all the foreigners the government let in, think the joke about the BBC showing Crime Watch five nights a week in order to get more blacks on tv is probably too close to the truth, eat curry and kebabs eight nights a week but hate the fucking muslims, drink far more booze than any other nation that has ever existed (in a weekend), moan about the rain, moan about the drought, moan that it's too hot, want to plug the Tunnel connecting us to those French fuckers that keep sending us illegal immigrants, bit fat but not as much as the Yanks, hate the Americans as they're all fat and keep dragging us into wars and then killing our troops in friendly fire (even the Italians would shoot less of them), love the Queen and the Royal Family, are born knowing the words to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Chinese = no rights, no animal rights, good at making electronics, are paid with a bowl of rice, have small penises, no middle aged women just young fit girls and bow-legged old hags, have slitty eyes that point the other way compared to the Japanese, can't say r only l as in flied lice.

I've had enough now. What's the thread about?
