Further Information/Comments
Wayne Gibson was the stage name of Edward William "Bill" Allen (b. 15 December 1942).
In the early 1960s, he was lead singer in a South London-based band called the Tornadoes (unrelated to the instrumental group, The Tornados), who then changed their name to Wayne Gibson & the Dynamic Sounds. Other band members included Mick Todman (lead guitar), Ray Rogers (bass), Pete Gillies (rhythm guitar) and Larry Cole (drums). In 1961-62, they performed at The Top Ten Club in Hamburg, Germany.
In 1963 they won a recording deal with Decca Records, where their records were produced by American-born Shel Talmy, at that time the producer of The Bachelors (and later of The Kinks and The Who, among others). However, the group's first two singles, cover versions of Ray Sharpe's "Linda Lu" and Ritchie Valens' "Come On Let's Go", were not successful, and they moved on to the Pye label. Their next record, a version of Del Shannon's "Kelly" which featured session musician Jimmy Page on guitar reached # 48 on the UK chart in March 1964, but the follow-up, "Portland Town", was not a hit. The group moved on again, to the Columbia label and then Parlophone, where they released a version of "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. In 1964-65, they also appeared regularly as the house band on the BBC TV programme The Beat Room.
Gibson's later recordings were as a solo singer. In May 1966 he released a version of The Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb", produced by Terry King. Again, however, it was not immediately a hit, and nor was his next record, a version of The Beatles' "For No One".
Gibson did not record after 1966 and seems to have left the professional entertainment business at that time. However, in 1972, the small Kingdom label reissued "For No One" in the UK. By 1974, "Under My Thumb" had become well known on the Northern soul club scene, and it was reissued on the Pye Disco Demand label. It rose to # 17 on the chart in late 1974 and Gibson briefly re-emerged to promote it on Top of the Pops.
________________________________________________________________________I am a collector who has been collecting records for nearly 30 years, and these records are either part of my collection that I no longer require, or have acquired over the years as part of a job lot I purchased. My main motivation for selling records is to finance the purchase of further records for my collection.
I have been buying and selling on Ebay since July 2000, and have a 100% positive feedback rate. I pride myself on giving accurate gradings and doing everything I can to ensure that every sale goes smoothly.
I believe that collectable records are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them, so all my auctions are started at a low price.
______________________________________________________________
My gradings are based on the system used by Record Collector magazine as described below
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.??
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.??
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
_________________________________________________________________________
Postage and PackagingAll records are sent securely packaged in purpose made mailers with 2 cardboard stiffeners, clearly marked fragile.I always remove the record from the outer sleeve (to avoid seam split whilst in transit) and then insert the record and sleeve into a brand new polythene sleeve.
I only post items as per Ebay and Paypal terms & conditions, which require that items are sent by a method that is trackable. Due to this, please be advised that you check that the postages rates listed below are acceptable to you before bidding, but please be assured, P&P charges are only those incurred and represent no profit to me.
I do combined shipping ,so if you win more than one item it will work out a lot cheaper on the postage if I send them in the same mailer.
Please note: If the value of the item, or combined items, exceeds the standard compensation rate for "signed for items", there will be no extra charge to you, as I will cover the additional cost for the increased insurance.
