Dave Love - Colalined Baby-Solid Soul

[Kev John]

Can we clarify that the demo's have been booted & are all issues ligit originals or not ?

 

[Dave Moore]

Demo definitely booted. Real one is Sterling stamped (I think, without checking mine, certainly stamped though).

Regards,

Dave

Yep, you're probably right. Mines buried somewhere in my currently ad hoc filing system. ;-)

Both the demo and issue should have a stamped Bell Sound mark in the run out

Just checked my Stock Copy - "Bell Sound"  Stamp BOTH Sides.

John manship auctioned the demo off claiming only 50 were ever pressed .

The bootleg demos have a poor quality look to them. The original WD is stamped but I can not compare them right now having just flown into Chicago from Honolulu - before you ask, not the gold mine for 60's soul some thought it might be - picked up my WD copy off an Ozzie eBay seller about a year ago for a lowish figure and it now sits next to a gold issue. I just love fondling records with gold labels. Roger, your scans are just the best, just what you need when stuck on a Pacific island.... Colalined Baby is just such a class tune and one when the instrumental matches the vocal in quality, usually not the case. Definitely in my top 1,000 tracks and we are talking A* tracks all the way.

Very true,instrumentals seldom match the vocal for quality,another that does I think is the Fi Dels"try a little harder"inst..strings and things more than making up for the lack of a vocal.

Don't the boot demo's have FOUR SOULS MUSIC on left hand side of the label & No 722 above it ?

 

Not like the original issues which have Three Souls Music & 722 above it

The demo original has glitter or sparkle in the paper.

Oddly the originals of the issue have Three Soul Music on the label, where as the demo has Four Souls Music. The label was owned by Al Holiday, who lived in Phittsburg and Johnny Worlds from New York. Al has now passed away and Johnny Worlds has disappeared.

 

Although it is addressed as Phittsburg, I would think that it was recorded in New York, as Robert Banks is credited on arrangements and Johnny did the production. Dave's other recording 'Baby Hard Times' has J.J. Jackson on arrangements, so this leads me to believe that Dave Love was a native of N.Y. and the Phittsburg connection was mainly financial.

Dave's other 45 ... released on Johnny World's NY based label ..........

 

[Kev John]

Can anyone put a scan up of the Boot Demo & issue ?

 

Ta Kev

[SHEFFSOUL]

John manship auctioned the demo off claiming only 50 were ever pressed .

 

hmm..i dispute that....i found a few demos in 73/74 in soul packs....

[Gene-r]

The boot.  Just like the demo, but without "Promotion Copy Not For Sale" on the label.

And of course the Worlds release has the equally fantastic You painted me blue on the flip.

I recall in 1979, myself and tim ash, getting a tip off and a lift to an office block in manhattan, which i think was johnny world's company office. There were some 45s for sale and in amongst them was 200 copies of colalined baby. I think we bought a hundred copies, but we knew it wasn't an in demand record, selling at the time for £2 to £3.  When we got them back to the Northern scene , nobody was really interested in buying a copy. Eventually, I think we unloaded most of them with johnny manship and i remember him still having them many years later!
