![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/022/thumb/the-big-supreme-dont-walk-polydor-t.jpg) | The "Not for Sale" record was bundled by Polydor as a double pack with POSP 840 to chart return shops. |
![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/053/thumb/john-otway-the-new-jerusalem-warner-bros-t.jpg) | Biff the story goes that Polydor had lost a lot of money, Otway felt partially responsible and decided to organise a fund raiser calling it a 'Polython'. The night was eagerly attended and a few hundred quid was raised to which the sum was handed to the head of Polydor UK... |
![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/012/thumb/trio-da-da-da-englische-version-mercury-t.jpg) | It's not worth uploading but I also have this with the same sleeve in black. I have red and blue ones too. The black sleeve is a thicker card than the other two. My red copy has the silver label; my blue and black ones have the paper label. The red front cover uploaded... |

![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/053/thumb/john-otway-the-new-jerusalem-warner-bros-t.jpg) | The story I've read was that Otway had this pressed up on clones of WEA/Warner Brothers, sent a copy to WEA with a cheque and a letter declaring that since nobody was interested in signing him, he was going to sign them! WEA amused by this decided to go along with the joke... |
![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/160/thumb/the-temptations-lady-soul-gordy-t.jpg) | Felonious, took your image and Paint.net-ted it, you still have the credit, put original image in hidden images (hope you don't mind).........John |

They sure released a lot of records does anyone have them all? Or like them? |
![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/100/thumb/pat-boone-no-arms-can-ever-hold-you-london-2-t.jpg) | Memories like that doberman are fascinating. My curiosity couldn't resist checking Joel Whitburn's 1955-59 Billboard Chart replicas. Your mate must have brought back the October 22 '55 issue. 'The Best Sellers in Stores' as it was called then showed the El Dorados at #21... |
![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/064/thumb/cimarons-over-the-rainbow-trojan-t.jpg) | Hello Alan, I have changed this from TRO 7919 to TR 7919 rather than TR-7919. It keeps in with other Trojan releases of the time. |
![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/159/thumb/deane-hawley-pocketful-of-rainbows-liberty-t.jpg) | I feel like I'm opening Pandora's box here......

Decca - 10 listed with 8 from Feb & 2 from March in... |
![](/web/20110926033838im_/http://www.45cat.com/image/059/thumb/sheila-and-b-devotion-spacer-1979-t.jpg) | Once again I have to agree with you telegramsam, one of the Chic guys finest. And certainly preferable to Singing In The Rain!
