Yes it was.

I was lucky enough to own a Powertree Dj, instead of it having Powertree across the top, the Dj just had a sticker with Powertree stamped on it. Bought it from Ebay the guy who was selling it, found it in a second hand shop in Usa in 1980.

Would be interested to know if anyone else has a copy or seen one.

Sorry can't help with the knox info.

So there you go underneath that Powertree sticker is KNOX ...

[Simsy]

So not a lot to choose between Powertree issue (below) circa £200- £250 and demo sticker copy £200 approx. then KNOX issue £300+.

Or just peel off your Powertree sticker -hey presto KNOX! & an extra £100

Very nice. Amazing what foreign label's you can collect, had a few unusual one's from place's you would not expect including Labanon A.B.C. Don't alway's have to pay load's, a lot of collector's seem to prefer usa or uk.

Hi Karen,I have lifted "stickers" using cigarette lighter fuel....a few drops on said sticky label wait a few seconds for the adhesive to soften and remove sticker. ATB Steve

No not sure look's as if it could be. Sold it to private collector he paid £300. He would have to have sold it straight away to be the one, but obviously at a loss. Can't check date exact as he paid cash.

The sticker on mine overlapped in the centre, just like the one on popsike!.

[Md Records]

I spoke to somebody last Year, regarding Paul Sindab, and will endeavor to glean a few more facts on my next US trip, but Paul did sound like a bit of a character! Anyhow I was reliably told that Paul used a Custom pressing plant in the NY area, that did small runs of discs, unlike many of the plants that required you to have a minimum of 100,200 or even 500 discs cut, and Mr Sindab did take advantage of this. He then gave copies to various people within the Music Biz in NY to hopefully secure deals, enabling him to have more copies cut. Now what quantities of what discs he had done is open to speculation, but hopefully someone can put a bit more Meat on the Bones of what could be an interesting story.

Hi Steve, thank's for the tip.

Think we got this sorted, you have the Knox issue ( take it you don't have a sticker mark on your's), and mine was a Knox issue, they turned into a Powertree demo using a sticker, probably to save money before they issued on Powertree.

Don't think the sticker should have been removed though as it made it more interesting left as they intended it to be.

Just checked with Pat and the sticker had already been removed before he got it.

Hi Karen,I have the Knox issue with the exact same Powertree label sticker on the "northern" side the flip had already had the Powertree sticky removed.I have not removed the remaining label,got to be as rare as the record ATB Stevie

Don't know of anymore on either label off top of my head. Presume Paul knocked them out himself as already said he had his own press. Labels share same number and address.

No those two seem exclusives don't they. Though there were other people on HYPE that he was on wasn't there. Dunno about KASIKA - more modern releases maybe.

Kasika I think shares same address as Powertree and Knox. Hype a subsiduary of something.

Did have another Disc on "Powertree", same logo etc, but a White Promotional copy by a Geezer called "Adonis", can't remember the title, but it is in Tim Brown's book. Anyhow it had a great backing from what I remember, but I'd think it fair to say that the vocal was a little Awfull.

I have just remembered ( my brain's a bit slow, must be my age!), but several year's ago I was offered a copy of Paul Sindab - I was a fool, on a dutch CNR, I saw a label scan and I'm sure it was blue.

I have emailed him to see if he still has it (must have gone by now), as he was trying for sometime to sell it and no one wanted it. Hopefully he still has scan in his gallary and have asked him to send me it, and will post it on here if he does.

Pretty sure this one was Belgian as I'm sure the owner/seller had a Belgian girlfriend at the time...could have been Dutch as was a few years ago now and memory not the same but CNR doesn't ring a bell Whichever country the scan will be interesting to see.

I bought a copy last year with the Powertree promotional copy sticker on both sides. Funnily enough it came from Belgium!!

Your memory is obviously still working ok, the Belguim copy is on Cardinal.

Not heard from the guy I mentioned in earlier post re: Dutch copy, I'll email him again tomorrow.

Maybe i'll turn out to have suffered severe memory loss, and the Dutch copy will be Belguim, same colour blue! and there is of course a C, N & R in Cardinal.

Which might buy me a Del Larks or,better still, Court Davies (with change for a holiday)......To be honest Karen I never really 'took' to the record.I bought it as an unknown,so I was more than thrilled to find it was worth sticking on E-bay.I lost touch with the scene for about 15 years-when did it get spins?

Sorry to but in. But yeah it's been played out - couple of Crossfire's back. Played at either the Dome, or Plinston, or Both.

Good record imo. Not a floorpacker as such I'd say. But good all the same.

Hi Martyn,

I first heard Paul Sindab on a sale's tape from the guy I mentioned in previous post's on the Dutch CNR label, but it had dol, and saw your copy on Ebay at the same time so bought your's. I Never heard it played at any venue's, only when my x was djing at our venue in York and the Manhatten club in Harrogate. Simsy's post mention's where it was played, but I've never been to either venue.

Going of thread a bit, but 80's was my fav era too. Went to Stafford a couple of time's but mainly went to Bradford Queen's Hall, Hinkley and the best of all Cleethorpe's Winter garden's. Don't remember hearing Paul Sindab though, it wouldn't have been my type of track back in those day's.

[jazzyjas]

That song by Adonis that you were trying to figure out several posts ago is "Cry of the Century" if I'm not mistaken. Big Belgian sound.

I also think the Paul Sindab on Powertree is brilliant. The only record I own by him is "You Dropped Your Candy in the Sand". Found that years ago in my first week of college for 50 cents at a flea market.

Has anyone ever seen that nice EP of him with the picture cover? JM had one a while ago. What a cool item. Was "I Was a Fool" on that EP? Would that be the Cardinal label record that's being discussed?

Saw the ep the other week...it's French. Can't say for sure if I Was Fool was on it, Dropped Your Candy was.

Hi Jas

Haven't seen the Paul Sindab French ep, have got someone trying to find me one, he get's quite a lot foreign ep's at good price's so I'm quite hopeful, although appear's to be ultra rare? The Cardinal mentioned is the single of "I was a fool", still awaiting label scan's, as guy live's in Belguim it is taking to time to sort out.

Post's on here a few year's back relating to the ep from Micksmith and also Carl Willingham have one in his collection. Dunno if forsale, maybe in his new list for January on JM site!

Would love to see a picture of him though!
