"The Upset" is on the recent CD of Lloyd and Deep City recordings in the "Eccentric Soul" series. It's terrific - been on my wants list for decades, but I've never even found a mashed up copy for sale, let alone a playable one!

The CD is great all the way through, BTW - has some top stuff on it (Moovers, Helene Smith etc.) and is heartily recommended, as are the earlier CDs in the series.

TONE :shades:

PS and BTW - the next CD in the Eccentric Soul series is of Diamond Jim and associated labels! That'll take care of the Terrifics for you, too....

I got mine off Amazon.Com, reasonably priced too. I can't remember the actual name of the label, but if you go to their site and type in "Eccentric Soul" all three releases should come up OK.

I've got that Grand Prix thing, I'll have to convert it from cassette though. The Tobi Bowe record used to be £3 and is horrible compared to Mamie Lee

I like to hear properly (i.e. not down the phone) the other mixes of Nurons - All My Life

& Curtis - How Can I Tell her (no, not the 12" mix)

Well you learn summat everyday Simon.... it's a personal fave but I didn't think there was enough copies of this to have "other mixes" :shades: ....

The other mix of the Nurons didn't get released. Someone played it down the phone to me and when I asked him to copy for me, he somehow had just lost the cassette! :shades:

Mmmmm....

Probably someone playing about with a PC proggy, or summat, to change it I suspect then Simon.... bit like those Pete Smith did and put up on here for a laugh a good few months ago....

Blimey, talk about chalk and cheese. Nurons is a fantastic piece of group soul that I would dearly love to own. The other is f***ing offensive to my taste and takes over 4 minutes to get to the vocal. If thats the 7inch I dread to think what the 12inch is like. :shades: ........

Sorry Simon, I know we all have different taste, but to me those two tunes are worlds apart. One is SOUL, the other is disco......

I just can't see how you can like both those styles. No offence tho mate, it's probably just me being narrow minded. :(

I doubt it as his technical skills don't go much beyond working a tape player! Anyway he played it to a mate in his presence. Maybe I shouldn't have called him a tight ****!

So you need the 7" mix then? Here it is:

(what a pounding tune!!! :shades: )

No sorry thats the omnipresent common or garden 7" mix .This was a Charm City 7" too, played to me just as I was leaving to catch a train so couln't have a good examination of it. Thnaks anyway.

That MP3 is taken from my Charm City 45.

Were there two different versions of this released on Charm City 45s?

Yes, I've got the 7" that you have t0o, & the 12", but it's a different mix to both of them. Also, it is a proper 45, I've had it my hands for a moment and that was years ago before 'vinyl carvers'!

Ah! Interesting. Didn't know that. :shades:

Just checked out Manship's homepage and he mentions:

CURTIS - How Can I Tell Her / I Remember - CHARM CITY 1879

CURTIS - How Can I Tell Her / I Remember - CHARM CITY 1932 (1st. Mix 4.32 long)

Strange that the "first mix" has got a higher catalogue number than the supposedly "second mix" though.

Would really like to hear it. :(

Not sure but don't think the Upset ever got released, just a few got out maybe by mistake, there's no label number or anything on the label. Only know of a couple of copies and a mate of mine has both of 'em. T'other side is excellent as well :lol:

Bloody hell, no wonder I've never heard it played out then. Is it uptempo Chalky?

Both sides same/similiar tempo. Not one you'd really play out, great double sider though.

Hi Geoff,

Well I'm lying actually, Dickie played it at The Cricket Club last year and I thought it was fantastic. Since then Cliff got it off Dickie and I have no chance of getting him to play it for me, let alone do me a cd......

My only hope is to get him to play it at The Burnley Allnighter next month...

You know what he's like, SECRET SQUIRREL whistling.gif It's also in Tim Browns guide so he must have it I presume.
