this specific copy was already discussed in that previous thread, and the seller described it. thanks though. i can't afford it anyways.

Oh! is this the same acetate or a different one.

Also I can only find a name of Wilfread McKinnley so is that his real name.

Man, - that cut, "I'll Rescue You" is right up my alley. Too bad it wasn't released as a Bombay single. I'd have picked it up in 1964 or 1965 at United Record Distributors. Bombay produced some nice music. It's a shame that none of it sold much.

[The Yank]

The first two songs on the acetate "I'll Rescue You" and "Millie" were released on Bombay.

There's no release # on the label.

Guess United wasn't carrying the label at that time.

I guess that "I'll Rescue You" was a dead rare record. Maybe Bombay didn't have a distributor, and Bob Catron just drove around in his car, delivering them to record shops in Chicagoland? Ha! Ha! he probably drove past me on the street, and I didn't know he had all those nice Flash McKinley and Fascinators' records in his trunk! Bah! Humbug!

[The Yank]

He probably had a few Geraldine Hunts in his trunk too!

There's another Flash McKinley single on Flute- "Jealous Girl (Guy) " and "Another Time".

Yes. and he recorded a great song for Marvello Records in 1964, "Who Told You (I Love You)" -found on a studio acetate. I like that even more than "I'll Rescue You". I've never seen the Flute release, but I may have heard it on You Tube. But, it isn't there now. Can anyone upload an MP3 of it? hearing mid '60s (sweet-sounding) Chicago Soul I've never heard is a rare treat for me.

Big fan of 'Millie'...in fact I have considered buying the 45 for that side, as IRY has never really floated my boat, as good as it is.

Will you buy me the 45 as well Tony, should your number come up...be your bestest mate!

It's not so rare because it got some local radio play, and it had commercial pressings of decent size (for local and regional sales). The Fascinators probably had a smaller press run. Same for Flash McKinley.
