THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY 2 - MISPRESSING - A really rather unusual mispressing of the 1996 compilation! For all intents and purposes this is a very well presented Ex condition copy, the fun starts when you look at the side 2 label. One of the labels has mistakenly been printed onto the playing surface, extending into the first 4 tracks; it should be noted that this will have drastic effects to playback; but have you ever seen anything like this before?

* JOHN DANIEL REVEL ROI RP (SCOTTISH 1884 - 1967), THE GIRL WITH AN ORANGE oil on canvas, signed 51cm x 42cm (20 x 16.5 inches) Framed. Provenance: Private Edinburgh collection. Note: John D Revel was born in Dundee in 1884. He studied at Dundee School of Art, becoming an Art Pupil Teacher. After qualifying as a teacher he taught for two years in Shipley, Yorkshire before becoming the Principal Teacher of architecture in Preston, Lancashire. In 1906 he gained an open Scholarship to the RCA and in 1911 left the College with a degree in architecture, a degree in painting and the award of a Travelling Scholarship for painting. After a year abroad he was offered and took up the post of Headmaster at Chelsea School of Art. He also saw service in the First World War in Mesopotamia and India, becoming an official artist to the Expeditionary Force (water-colour paintings survive from this time). He specialised in portraiture and landscape. Revel was elected a member of the International Society of Painters, the Royal Portrait Society and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. In 1925 he took up the post of Director at Glasgow School of Art. Under his directorship the Extension Building (now the Assembly Hall) was built and the School saw an upsurge in student and social events, notably the development of the Student Representative Council, the growth of the Glasgow School of Art Dramatic Club and the birth of the Kinecraft Society. Revel kept up the tradition of teacher/headmaster/director by occasionally taking the architect's drawing class. The degree course in Architecture produced its first graduates during his time as director, quite a few of whom were women. The artist has works in the collections of Glasgow and Dundee museums. Only three of Revel's paintings are recorded in UK auction records (Artnet) with a recent one ''New Orleans Boy'', a 50 x 40cm oil on canvas, which was sold by McTear's for £1800 (hammer) as lot 1486 29th November 2012.

The first of the two MR2 Toyotas entered by the same vendor and again a long term owned car. This one is a UK model complete with the rare option sun roof. While maintained mechanically to the same level as the other, this one does not benefit from a £4,000 respray and as such the lacquer has gone on some of the top surfaces. So while driving very well, with its shorter MOT, 27th July but having only travelled 158 miles since last MOT’d, the vendor is offering this one as needing light restoration.
This first year of production “Cigar Bird” has just undergone a major overhaul. Chosen in the States for its rust free condition and its mechanical prowess. Once here the vendor spent the better part of 10 thousand pounds having the body professionally painted and all exterior chrome mouldings replaced along with the locks. The interior was completely “bespoke” retrimed, no vinyl here just leather throughout, door cards, dash board the lot. New carpets were fitted and to finish the look a set of multi spoke chrome wheels were bolted on.Now freshly MOT’d and will be supplied with an age related UK registration, this near show quality car will make its new owner very very proud.
