I have my top 5 list of things I WISH were sold on eBay (just Hayley-related things, of course):
1. a well-used, Hayley-bought "Bike for Ghana"
2. backstage pass to Buxton Opera House for 5th April
3. the unused "Dublin" recordings from 2003
4. the Pink Panther suit from that ball she attended
5. her guitar from "American Dreams"
Most (if not al) of the above will never see a bid on eBay, but wouldn't it be great if they were?
Your list? Please supply here.

Steve what is that "the unused "https://i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifublin" recordings from 2003"? Not sure myself, and since I haven't seen any of her biography books yet I don't know if this matter has been explored at all. What I suspect is that she recorded a whole bunch of songs in Dublin after signing with Decca, and that these songs were, ironically, so good that they felt they could do even better if they tried again. So there are several Hayley songs out there that no one has ever heard. What a prize that would make to have them!

No, according to her autobiog, she originally recorded a whole album there, that was never released. This was intended to be her first international album but apparently Decca weren't happy with it, and the whole album (which became Pure) was re-recorded in London with a different producer, Giles Martin. In view of the success of Pure, who can doubt that it was the right decision. I agree, it would be interesting to hear those recordings if they still exist. Hayley said that the problem was that it sounded a bit too electronic and synthesised. They may even have had drums!
