Unknown R&b / Northern / Jamaican Acetate

[Pete S]

Got this off ebay the other night (sound file to follow), it's a one sided acetate and it appears to be called "Same way you came in", it utilises the brass riffs from "Mr Pitiful" and I firmly believe it's a jamaican artist, probably recorded in Britain like Sugar Simone or Owen Gray.

It's not bad actually and would sound pretty good played out.

Have a listen below (sample will be cut 30 secs from end)see if you know who or what it is.

[Guest]

Oh yes...

Was trying to think what other tune it reminds me of big-time - BOBBY BLAND 'That's the way love is', not a bad thing Pete....

[Ezzie Brown]

Oh yes...

[Pete S]

Don't know yet - was trying to get any info, see if it's known or if it's a one off...if it is a one off it's hard to price, might be best putting it up for offers. Will wait to see if anyone knows it. Tony Rounce didn't, which is a good start!

[Ezzie Brown]

What is it that makes you think it was recorded in Britain, Pete?

[pikeys dog]

I'd say he's definately West Indian, his pronunciation points that way...

Horns sound like they are from a 'Ska band playing Soul' - Ska horns always sound a bit off key to me (not in a bad way I've got to ad.)

[Ezzie Brown]

reminds me of the accent on the del davis track, ez

Nice tune Pete, is there any info at all on the label ?

i've got this on a JA 45 - it's Joe White - "You Got To Go" on Gay Feet. i put it on a swap CD back in 2006 for the modculture board so some people on here will have heard it... thought i'd put it on Refosoul, but can't see it

and the labels are reversed on my copy, but that's the correct title

Thanks Michael, good spot.

Now, is it worth anything?

[michael-j]

mine was $25 or something from a US seller. think i only found it from the sound clip, then coincidentally heard DJ Cello play it at Coast to Coast a day or two after winning it. seems quite rare though

Right. £75 then.

[Pete S]

Joe White & Chuck Joseph - You Got To Go - Gayfeet FSP 6994.

That's the original Jamaican release from 1966 so I'm guessing yes, it is going to be pretty hard to come by on original, and if it does it'll be knackered, so I think I did ok as this copy is EX/EX+

[michael-j]

saw that listing - the label on mine only says Joe White on both sides, no mention of Chuck

Maybe because they had a hit with Every Night?

[Guest Beeks]

Quite nice that Pete...wouldn't pay 75 sheets for it though...

[michael-j]

found the 45...

in case anyone interested, the full details are:

A-side: GAY FEET - S-50 - Joe White / Baba Brooks and His Recording Band - You Got To Go (FSP 6994)

B-side: GAY FEET - S-51 - Joe White / Baba Brooks and His Recording Band - So Bad (FSP 6995)

[michael-j]

the first release on Doctor Bird is Joe White 'Every Night' / Baba Brooks - '1st Session' ??

the tracks on this 45 are 'You Got to Go' / 'So Bad', which don't seem to be on a UK release (although there are a few small gaps in the Doctor Bird discogs i've seen)
