teh lou curtan copies were carolina (bootlegs) i presume for the shag scene, the have a tendency to change the names slightly i got the lou curtan one when i bought 16 carolina's records of ebayt a few years ago, bought them for one record The Plaids ask the lonely also got another bootleg this one by willam paul (billy paul) but the other side is a female version of the sames song which is pretty good and i can find nothing about it.

It's a boot made for the US Beach Music scene,

Seem to recall discussions on here a few yrs back regarding this .

Think Mark has it about right but have seen silly prices and also on J Manships rarest of rare .

Used to see em at $10 on ebay until someone decided they were rare

What's the flip...something like Mike Mcdonald -god know's ?

Why would you put that on a flip if it was original ???? Carolina shag beach scene written all over it

IF IT'S A BOOTLEG, AND A FAIRLY AVAILABLE 45, WHY DID TIM BROWN PRICE IT AT £300 IN HIS BOOK - WAS IT THOUGHT TO BE RARE WHEN HE COMPILED HIS GUIDE ?

Thanks for reminding me ...it was the flip that people bought it for ....god knows where i got mike mcdonald from????

Is it also a different cut on the lou curton ?

One of the few great records where the 12" version knocks the 7" into a cocked hat

Yes, it is an edited 12" version on the Lou Curtan side

Hi Jez ,

it was good to see you in Norwich last night at the Backstreet event.

The Lou / lew track on Pad seems to have been a cut from the 12 '' for the beach scene then !

cheers Frank

Hello Frank, thanks for the kind hospitality over the weekend from you and your lovely girlfriend. Will be down again in the summer, with fishing rod / cider / beer / wine / brandy / tasty barbeque goodies / soulful x-over / semi-known gems / 70's soulful giants / west coast stormers / etc etc. Wonder if Tim Brown wants to buy my Lou Curtan for £200 ...then he can make £100 profit on it !!! Best, Jez.

An old thread, this, I know - but just saw one of these for the first time recently and was disappointed that the bootleggers hadn't gone the whole way and call the artist "Loo Curtain."
