Hi there. Was Maurice Williams-What Can a Man Do, actually released on a 45? I know it's on the Rare Soul Uncovered comp', but haven't seen it on 45. Thanks, Carl.

Unreleased acetate, I think - I recall Pat Brady playing it at Stafford. Very credible version by Ben E. King on Atco, shouldn't set you back much

I bought an acetate of this at the 100 club in the 80's off of Guy H, whilst looking through some other 45's on the stage it was pinched, very dissapointed i was too.

I bought an acetate of Sam in the early to mid nineties. Think it was hand written title but no artist credited, although I knew it was Maurice Williams. I can't remember the label, but I think it was a well know acetate label in the way that Virtue, Bell Sound or Abtone are well known.

Actually, think it may have been Abtone.

 

Cheers

Mick

 

Just checked - it's Beltone

This track was on the same tapes as his SeaHorn tracks. Great track.

I might be a bit dim here Des, but why would an unreleased acetate of a good unissued song not set anybody back much? Ady

 

Think Des meant the Ben E. King version Ady.

To confuse things further I've got a publisher's acetate of Ben E King's version (at least I think I have, I'd better play it and see if it's Maurice!)

 

 

Maurice or Ben.E...and can I have it :thumbup:
