Steve Foran Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 No worries. Saw the ad and assumed it was a Fairmount copy. Bit surprised it was on Rouser thats all. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jim G Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) @ Pete S, there was one Ebay in March, details on Popsike (link below). JM sold one this year also (if memory serves me right), that is 3 known copies alone this year does that make it 5 or 6 ?? The one up for grabs now looks a lot cleaner. Way out of my league. https://www.popsike.c...0974926343.html Edited November 13, 2012 by jim g Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

georgeblackwell Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have a copy of the Fairmount issue of this and have never seen or heard the Rouser version so I was interested in this copy of THE BUTLERS with FRANK BEVERLY - BECAUSE OF MY HEART - ROUSER 1017 because it had attached to it, what I assume were, 2 complete sound clips. The sound clip for BECAUSE OF MY HEART differs from my Fairmount copy in that the sax break is much shorter. It does not sound as though it skips at that point and the edit of the sax break sounds clean. So the question is - Does the Rouser version have a shorter sax break or is it just a fault with the sound clip that was attached to the listing. If you get a chance to listen to the sound clip and you know the Fairmount version well you will immediately hear what I am talking about. Anyone shed some light on this or am I going off my head !!! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Pinch Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) yes the best part of the record, the sax break is shamefully cut off in its prime on the rouser copy......no one is certain when it was made but what is certain its a 2nd issue probably done 1968 or later by the producer after cameo/parkway bit the dust,,,,,,,,the release was probably cancelled due to copyright Edited November 24, 2012 by dave pinch Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Pinch Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 it has the fairmount catalogue number bob....if it were just a local 1st issue it would have had its own number..remember fairmount was a decent label national distributed..also it was edited down when its clearly the same take.fairmount went out of business when cameo bit the dust 18 months after (f1017) was issued........i know normally it would be natural to think small local label picked up by bigger label for national distribution but i dont think thats the case with this 45..a bit like the lee williams stuff on lost nite..remember frank had other releases on fairmount also......i also believe that tommy rouse put it out and frank wasnt interested in it and wanted to move forward not backwards and had the release pulled Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Pinch Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) also i would like to add this is just my take on things as i see it and have no concrete evidence..but then again if we had concrete evidence to say rouser was 1st naturally i`d have a rethink Edited November 25, 2012 by dave pinch Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Comparing it with other common Fairmount release numbers it couldn't possibly be later than 1966 , could it ? And judging by the "Heatwave" like soul sound of "Because of My Heart" , surely it wouldn't have made any commercial sense for Rouser to re-issue the record in "68 or even later when the prevailing popular soul sound was Sly and The Family Stone , James Brown, psychedelic Temptations and funky Impressions ? Unless perhaps like the Lost Nite label , Rouser was trying to cash in on the "oldies" reissues at the time in light of the Butlers' origins as a doo-wop group ?

Did it come from Arthur, John? About 16 years ago we were in a shop in Rhode Island, Washington, DC, and in the basement was a small pile of records, in the corner, next to a record player, which I didn't get to look through, such was the vast quantity of vinyl down there. About a fortnight later, Arthur and Sam went to the same place and Arthur told me about the Frank Beverly TP he'd found down there... In a pile of records, in the corner, next to the record player!

Pretty sure I recall Arthur saying it was a TP of the Rouser edit. Makes sense, being found in Washington. I always thought the Rouser copy was first small label release, but there's a lot of merit in the idea of it coming after the Fairmount issue, since it uses the Fairmount numbering. Tommy Rouse's name does not appear on the Fairmount issue. Wonder if he was supposed to share joint credit with FB, got pissed off because his name didn't appear so pressed up his own? There are numerous possible scenarios I can think of. Always been a curious one since young Adam first played the Rouser copy BITD. Would certainly like to know the facts behind it.

Sean Hampsey Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Also, worth noting "A Quaker Town Production" is abbreviated to "A QT Production" on the Rouser issue. Had to be shortened from something! Short form normally following the original in most instances. Also adds weight to the theory it was done on the QT ;0) Sean 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
