Dayo Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Attack was my fave ska label (i think! multi coloured? like an explosion in a paint factory?) Doctor Bird label brings back memories
Guest micksmith Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Haven't got any UK left really, Mick Smith is your man for those...going to post up a few random ones now link PETE YOU WANNA LEND ANY. YOU DIDN'T SAY WHERE YOU GOT THE JERRY JACKSON FROM. PETE YOU GOT ANY SCANS OF THE FOLLOWING ON UK. BILLY HARNER-INSTRUMENTAL. BEN E. KING-CAN'T BREAT THE NEWS. MARY LOVE-HAND WRITTEN ON KING. FORK IN THE ROAD-EMBER.
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Attack was my fave ska label (i think! multi coloured? like an explosion in a paint factory?) Doctor Bird label brings back memories link No thats not Attack, Attack is bright yellow with a large jagged logo in red later black, you could be thinking of Explosion
Dayo Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 No thats not Attack, Attack is bright yellow with a large jagged logo in red later black, you could be thinking of Explosion link Ah yes! Too bad SK&F fried my memory cells!
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 PETE YOU WANNA LEND ANY. YOU DIDN'T SAY WHERE YOU GOT THE JERRY JACKSON FROM. PETE YOU GOT ANY SCANS OF THE FOLLOWING ON UK. BILLY HARNER-INSTRUMENTAL. BEN E. KING-CAN'T BREAT THE NEWS. MARY LOVE-HAND WRITTEN ON KING. FORK IN THE ROAD-EMBER. link Sorry didn't realise it was a competition Michael. I got the jerry jackson off some numpty on the internet. The Billy Harner label is identical to the vocal so no point posting that, Mary Love is white label so pointless, Fork In The Road printed a picture of a black issue years ago, I'll let you off with the Ben E King.
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Mick you still not got your avatar sorted, I told you I'd do it for you if you email it to me, or is it because you've told everyone it's the darrell Banks demo when in fact it's a Pat Boone demo
Dayo Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Is the Mary Love a demo on a white label then? Assume we're talking about Bitter into sweet. The only UK copy I've seen was on King (Blue-ish)
Soulie78 Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 No british 45s from me, sorry. Next one is a great one in my opinion, but I've never seen issues of the Tou-Sea label, so if someone could show me one...
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 It's a King white label test press which he got off the owners of the label
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 No british 45s from me, sorry. Next one is a great one in my opinion, but I've never seen issues of the Tou-Sea label, so if someone could show me one... link Don't think I have either - I'd imagine them to be like a pale green?

The Billy Harner label is identical to the vocal so no point posting that, Mary Love is white label so pointless, Fork In The Road printed a picture of a black issue years ago, I'll let you off with the Ben E King. link Mick was asking for a scan of Ben E King. I think this one might be Australian or possibly Austrian. And to get this A -Z back on track, here is an E. Edited November 5, 2004 by Billy Freemantle
Dayo Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Has anyone got or ever seen a demo of Chubby Checker Discotheque on Britsish CP?
Billy Freemantle Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Yeah, me too. A Wheel favourite I believe and one of the best tracks on the Sue Story compilation - remember that? link Now, that Island LP -'The Sue Story' really brings back memories! Oink comes to mind. I can still smell the new vinyl.
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Re Ben E King - thats Australian, I bought one of those from a record fair in Tunbridge Wells for £2, sold it for £30, told the lad who bought it was gonna go big and laughed my socks off - more fool me when it actually did! Re Chubby Checker - had numerous issues and 2 demos of Discotheque, had 2 issues and one demo of You Just Don't Know - Mick must still have his and now he knows how to upload there'll be no stopping him
Guest hammy Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 sorry they are not in alphabetical order link That Charades track has a break in it that sounds like an Orange Parade! LOL Hammy
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 (edited) Vickie Baines - Country Girl - Parkway issue. Hard to decide which is the rarer, the Dean Courtney issue or this issue - I've only ever seen one of each. Edited November 5, 2004 by PeteStoneIsland
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 (edited) Great oldie Edited November 5, 2004 by PeteStoneIsland
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 (edited) Great oldie it's gone missing Edited November 5, 2004 by PeteStoneIsland
Billy Freemantle Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Classic link You know Ruby sounds even better now that I've seen the label! Great scans Pete. Now where were we alphabetically? Who was who did 'Running a Losing Race'? F (!)
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Tyrone davis - Running a losing game? On Sack label same as mamie Galore
Billy Freemantle Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 (edited) Keeping with the spirit of this thread I'll follow the stream of consciousness method of arrangement and post an S Are you 100% it was 'game' not 'race'? Edited November 5, 2004 by Billy Freemantle
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Is this rare? link Don't know it - whats it like??
Northernguy Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I'll send you mp3 Pete. Be a bit later on tonight.
Gary Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 £250... link Out of my league im afraid Pete, sorry. Is it available on any other format?
Billy Freemantle Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 G Love the Sax on this and the piano.
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I'll send you mp3 Pete. Be a bit later on tonight. link Great, thanks!
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 G Love the Sax on this and the piano. link Blimey how many different label designs has this one got? red issue - yellow issue - white demo swirl - white demo - any more?
Pete S Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Out of my league im afraid Pete, sorry. Is it available on any other format? link Yeah you can get it on a pressing for £8 or so and it's on a couple of cd's
Gary Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Yeah you can get it on a pressing for £8 or so and it's on a couple of cd's link Thanks will keep my eye open for it.
Guest Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I was in New Orleans a number of years ago and was in reputedly the oldest working bar in the USA, they had a brilliant juke box and i played this 37 times in a row, for me one of the most heart wrenching, emotion driven records ever cut.
Guest Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Never liked this link Pete seeing as i don't really know you (except through various e-mail requests for items you have had for sale), thought i'd explain that it really is one of my all time favourite tunes( Ruby: Decieved/Feminine Ingenuity) yours in good humour Brett

It's hard to fault any of the Duke stuff really. I asked a pub entertainer in Dubai if he could do any Bobby Bland. He certainly could and performed virtually the whole damn song book. A local radio jock heard him at another performance and he recorded a CD of that type of bluesy jazzy soulful stuff. For him that was the big time. The irony was that at the time he started on his Bobby Bland ( and Dee Clark and Junir Parker soundalikes) there was definitely not a soul in the bar apart from myself and the missus who had a clue who Bobby Bland was.

Surely not!

Was at Mark Bicknells house the other friday and he had an autographed photo of the legend adorning the wall of his living room..........sooooo jealous
