Carla Thomas - I'll Never Stop Loving You

[Guest Mrs Simsy]

Afternoon. Hope this is the right section.

Just been reading up on this record and it says that it was never released until Kent found a master copy and legitimately pressed it? Seems extremely cheap for such a good record. Also, just come across one on ebay that says it's Ady C's master copy?

Is that right?

Thanks, Kylee.

I think the story is that Ady had access to the Stax vault and would have been able to listen to the 2" multitack or the 1/2 " master tape. After selecting that tune worthy of being used by Kent, no doubt some 7" dubs were pressed for demonstration but whether "Ady's master " is the right term I dunno. It is a fantastic recording though and I aways dance to it when played out.

Never seen that before. Is it legit because their website ie Right Track Records spells Ady's name incorrectly?

No idea. Thought it was odd that Ady would sell it.

This looks a better deal. Should buy it myself!

that horace copy came out a while after the 100 club giveaway..i think it had barbara lewis stars on the flip. i heard the 100 club kent 45 was made up from a few unfinished takes on a master tape but dont know if this is correct

Yeah, Barbara Lewis is on the flip of Horace copy.

I don't know if the 100 Club single was unfinished or not, never played it when I had it, lol.

The first issue of this was on the '100 Club Anniversary' giveaway 45

Second issue on 'Horace's' (like the one in your link)

Third issue on Kent

Hope this clears up the confusion.

Yep Soul_Slider, that's the story, although there were two Kent releases TOWN117 and TOWN 135. The guy selling the Horaces copy was just referring to the label. I think the anniversary single is the same mix as the others. As someone said, Roger Armstrong pieced together several takes to get the full effect that we all know and love.
