Also had a very nice, high quality carver done locally today by my mate who's been running a great service here in Copenhagen. He recently updated to a very pro Scully lathe from the 60's that does amazing work! Very pleased to have finally got a disc made with him after waiting for the setup and testing of the new lathe.

This won't make any sense to most of you why I'm going on about this, it's not soul, it could have passed off as a Northern dancer at one point, it was just something I needed to get...review below

Blimey this one's taken me a long, long time to find.  Not that I've been actively searching, but the couple of copies that turned up on ebay over the years, I was trounced in my bids and I watched the last copy go for £100+.  Anyway I came across it by chance at the weekend so here it is, at last.  Oscar is Oscar Beuselnick, (better known as Paul Nicholas) and he had three interesting singles on Reaction (one written by David Bowie).  This one begins with a fuzz guitar riff which then gives way to an absolutely thunderous stomping rhythm, and a throwaway song about a discotheque where people can dance all night...it's fantastic to dance to and I'll never know why the Northern scene didn't pick up on this when it was going through it's 'pop' phase.  Great stuff.  The self-penned B side Waking Up is also nice in a Mike Flowers Pops (remember them?) type way.  Groovy.

Oh and this one:

So just a few words about the record; a typical UK Northern dancer with a brass fanfare intro, pummelling drumbeat and an excellent vocal, though I often think the singer might have actually been a Scouser, they way he pronounces the word 'bird' as 'baird'.  This track was also released on a French EP and the band appear to have been quite popular on the continent.  The record has been known and sought after for many a year - I think this is maybe my sixth copy so it must have sold a few over here, probably after plays on pirate radio.  A minor classic.

Got one of these a few months back took a while to find it,got a john drevars as well from the same source,

Another British one, this was discovered by Paul Malone in the late 80's, I bought it off him and then it became known, always promised myself another one if I saw one, but never did until yesterday, if you don't like UK 'soul' then you probably won't like this but it's a big almost Righteous Brothers tupe beat ballad, a great ender, and the singer is the guy who was part of the duo Frankie & Johnny.

Yeah I used to have that one mate but again, it's one I've not seen since I sold my original collection back in 1993 - great track, very unusual type of sound for that particular producer (Shel Talmy) I'm afraid I know nothing about the artist though (I may have done, but it's all been forgotten)

I'm not convinced he is - the recording definitely is, but I think he could be an American recording in the UK like Sonny Childe, Kenny Roberts, Jimmy Helms etc.  Also think it might be an alias.

Had several recently but these few were close enough at hand to quickly photo.  The New Breed 45 always appears to have the little ink stamp on the label.  I have another copy and that's the same.  It is a garage/blue eyed thing that I've seen on a compilation somewhere.

One of my best buys on ebay  if not the best. Came upon the track through Ady's " Ever Felt An Idiot " thread where he recommends it. I was also watching a copy of her One More Chance 45 from the same seller which went for £95.00 ( 53 bids ). Maybe that track edges this but not sure.

I like that. There is a Who connection somewhere, I remember something in the back of mind about Nicholas' father being a friend of Townsend or something like that. 

Talking of Townsend, picked up a UK Columbia 45 from the charity shop the other day by the Barron Knights 'Lazy Fat People / In The Night' 1967. Forget the A side, the B side is a nice Mod workout which is also something to do with Townsend.

Is the Madeline Bell the first Issue before Phillips? 

 

Swifty  :thumbsup:

It is.  Shame the demo is a plain non descript label compared to the Mod issue, which I always liked the look of.
