Hadn't seen this before, hope it may be of interest, every Red Bird issue and demo pictured, but no Ellie Greenwich issue?

Just discussing a Red Bird 45 in sales, does it mention this?

 

The Poets - Stuck on you / Red Bird Demo M- £20

this is nice, came out on Red Bird under a different name as well, See below, the 'Insiders"...fabulous track and well worth twenty quid..

 

Poets were not the "other group" we know so well " She Blew...".  As there was indeed a clash of names they changed to become The Insiders.  They then moved to RCA & cut the great " I'm Just A Man " before re branding as Main Ingredient !!    I am pretty certain this explanation is correct.

I collected about 2/3 of the label run over 20 years, a lot of the girl groups I picked up from my earliest source of US Soul 45's in Scallywags record shop in Southsea, Portsmouth run by a couple who predominantly collected Ska.  I had them in a box for several years gathering dust so I eventually took them to a local car boot near the New Forest to shift on, lo and behold the eventual buyer who snapped them all up at a quid a piece was the lady from Scallywags.............what goes around!  

 

No mention of Sidney Barnes - I hurt on the otherside - Red Bird on that list or did I miss it? Had a conversation with John Manship who indicated he had a copy in his hands on an Australia trip, but I have never seen or heard of any other proof of its existence so my demo on Blue Cat still holds pride of place in my boxes for pure Northern, Lee
