Yep, I've got one Steve!

[Steve G]

OK thanks what is it like Paul?

[boba]

do you have the eldees? would love to see / hear it

[Paul McKay]

OK thanks what is it like Paul?

I'll have to get back to you on that Steve. It's behind a bookcase at the moment!

[Paul McKay]

Actually, no it's not - just found it. Typical 60s midtempo male duets with perhaps a southern feel. Reminiscent of Pic & Bill somehow. Mainly guitar, drum and piano backing - no brass. "You better (get yourself together) the original a side has a slightly funky break. Don't recall noticing this on other Big Hit 45s - this one has the titles in the run out, plus JMM's intitials and "Sound Patterns mastering Detroits first!" scratched in.

[Steve G]

Thanks. Steve

[Premium Stuff]

I can do you sound files of both sides if you don't already have them mate

I'm "Such A Lonely Guy" is the better more 'northern' side

Cheers

THANKS guys. It was a missing number here and i couldn't find one on the net either, although i see craig moerer has one for sale. just wanted to confirm it's existence which we've now done

[boba]

[Steve G]

Not from me no.

any word on the eldees?

When I collected the label, found The Eldees the toughest to find. I spent a lot of time in Detroit in the late 80's and finally purchased it from a collecter for $250. Big Hit 111 and Big Hit 110 with its different flip side was also scarce. Just moved home and will try to post in the next few weeks.

Cheers Richard

[boba]

that would be awesome to see or hear. thanks in advance.

[Tricky]

Too true Boba.

The Eldees on Big Hit was beginning to sound like a myth.

When somebodys mistake gets added from scribble to published list.

Apologise for the photo quality, red labels are always a problem. Info is as follows:-

a-side Help Me Grow Up (To Be A Man) written by D. Yancey, who also wrote the groups the a-side of the Eldees release on Dynamics, so presume it is the same group. Produced by Johnnie Mae Matthews and D.Yancey, Music by Black Nasty.

b-side You're A Sweet Thing written by D.Yancey & H.McGhee. Production credits the same.

Will try to post a soundbite later, when I am back working.

To anyone who has noticed I only have one posting, I have been away from the site for a time with cancer, my wife dying of cancer, relocating to another town etc. When I came to log back on I had forgotten my password. Sign of the times, I am sure a lot of you can relate to it, so I had to start over again. Thanks to Mike for his help.

Of to the States next week, so hopefully will do so buying and I will be back selling in a couple of weeks.

Cheers

Richard Pack

I don't know what else to say except I'm really really sorry about you and your wife's health; I hope you recover quickly and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to take these photos (awesome) despite everything you're dealing with. Thank you.
