PM to discuss.

Aiming to post up a sound clip asap.

There have been several threads over the years discussing the various releases by Eddie Billups.

I've done a quick cut an' paste of details from these threads which are pertinent to the above twelve.

"Two different mixes though - Garpax and Solid Gold are identical, as far as I know..

This is true! Garpax & Solid Gold are a later and therefore more 'discofied' mix with a twangy bass thing going on.

He then (some years later) put the remix out on his own Solid Gold label.

I got "Shake off that dream" on a four track 12" EP credited to Eddie Owen. Label is Sound of Gold and it's the Garpax / Solid Gold version.

I have the Eddie Owen 12" - bought from London's Bluebird records during the early 80's. It's on Solid Gold, not Sound of Gold".
