I still had a couple of copies of Alison Limerick on a shelf. Since @Piers wasn’t interested I popped them on Discogs last night and let JL do the marketing for me.
I’m £40 up as they both sold within a hour!

Was one of the buyers a Davinia T from Alderley Edge by any chance?

Possibly her partner? He has four (soon to be five) records in his collection: Fools Gold ‘99 remixes, Born Slippy, Break of Dawn reissue and a Bushwacka one so literally all bases covered.

i can’t speak for the whole country, but that track didn’t have near the impact here in the states. very few people here would recognize it at all, no matter their age. for that reason, i’m not fully fucking sick of it, still think it’s kind of a sweet lil’ commercial house track, and won’t be hucking my copy in the bin (yet).

as I said above!
Out of interest, did any British house records (eg tcoy, xpress II) make it in the US early 90s or was it all one way traffic? Vaguely remember the great Count Cookula saying he took a few over when he moved to LA but would it all have been very niche? Am thinking that before the mid-90s ‘electronica’ craze, it was slim pickings?
Brilliant
x-press II yes, t-coy no (as far as I knew). voodoo ray, yes! where love lives - not so much.
i really don’t want to speak for the nation especially since i was pretty young when it all started to blow up (plus i was in portland oregon, i certainly can’t speak for what was happening in chicago, or new york, etc.). but i what i remember was certainly domestic house, and focus on singers rather than house acts (think adeva, crystal waters, etc.). frankie knuckles productions, morales red zone mixes, those types of mixes on big label artists.
i think there was just so much homegrown stuff that british stuff wasn’t yet top of mind. i remember some early joey negro records but even those were on nugroove - i had no idea he was british!

Whatever your opinions on the John Lewis advert (I’m in the minority camp of liking it - it got me!) Is it judged a success as a campaign given how much comment and content it’s generated, even if some of it is negative?
Hoping someone on here who is in that game can answer, I’m genuinely curious.

All publicity is good publicity right?

Think it’s safe to apply that exception to that rule for any child molester/paedophile in general. Although the D Trump is putting it to the test.

Its certainly been a success for Defected who have a re-issue 12 shipping out in a couple of weeks!

My first wristwatch was Hong Kong Phooey where his arms rotated as the clock hands.
He was also my ‘handle’ during the CB-radio craze.

It is a great record (& not Handbag) but yes it got completely over played for years leading to the rational seething hatred above
Love this @dom_moir

Amazing how the same track can tread this precarious tightrope between tired cheese and classic house
