Neil Rushton Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Had you ever heard it out before it was booted Neil? I was wondering where it was ever played? Ian D Maybe from the LP at The Catacombs, but I don't think it was known until it was booted.
Ian Dewhirst Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Ian Are you sure Susanne DePasse was not horrified by the original plan to release it on a 12" picture disc with photos of Northern Soul DJ's?!!! I can still remember the late phone call from you and Simon, coming up with the plan and I went back to bed shaking my head. I think it was going to be Northern Soul medley to begin with (?), and you came up with the concept of making it a Motown Medley. Can you imagine how awful a NS medley would have been? I can also remember you calling me from LA after you had seen Susanne. Then of course Simon got more backers for the records than there were shares...I think he must have seen the film "The Producers". He well and truly ripped us of on it. Yep. We probably got stung more than anyone when you add it up. However, I'm sure S.S. got screwed by Soultrain. That whole thing was just a circle of sharks wasn't it? Ian D
Guest davebyork Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Doni Burdick was a backing track from a 1965 recording so he had ball all to do with it and didn't deserve a cent. Love And Desire's Billy Page, nothing to do with Sidney if you're talking Patrice Holloway. Writers and artists don't get paid for the original releases unless they sell in reasonable quantities I've never been clear on the relationship between "Bari Track" and the instrumental version of "I miss my baby" which was on a Goldmine "Groovesville Review" CD. Are they exactly the same recording, just taken from different copies of the master tape or something? Has Doni Burdock got anything to do with the record at all?
Ady Croasdell Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Was'nt what I meant, although rereading my post it does, DG quite innocently asked all B&S readers to tell him there favorite sounds, MY collection went a whole new direction when he started printing them in his column. What I meant was that a magazine had published details of sounds, entireley innocent of ulterior motive other than getting it across to a wider audiance, especiaslly the NS starved South of the UK, and the unscrupulous had a ready made data base of sounds that were on everybodies wish list at the time, and possibly factored it into their release policy.Possibly, we'd have to ask Batman who is in the Antipodes I think. He was a hard-core nighter goer and knew his sounds from there probably more than B&S 1

He was a hard-core nighter goer and knew his sounds from there probably more than B&S BUT were'nt we all at the time, hard core nighter goers, but not very knowlegable music wise at the time, (other than tunes from Wilby/Kellmarsh/ Earls Barton) Cats, Torch, Mecca, Birds Nest , etc etc were event AND tunes yet to come, at least to me at the time .

It was then recorded by Rose for Revilot, slightly adjusted to 'I Miss My Baby'-one of the lines from 'This Heart Is Lonely'. Somehow Doni Burdick got hold of it and it was put out on one of Ed Wingate's labels. The producers and writers were totally re-written and somehow it got a Jobete publishing credit. It's as murky as can be but the original version and the sequence of releases is correct. 3

Are they exactly the same recording, just taken from different copies of the master tape or something?Has Doni Burdock got anything to do with the record at all?All of Doni Burdick's recordings seem to be using backing tracks like his out of tune 'Candle' that uses the Dynamics 'I Need Your Love' and 'Whatcha Gonna Do' uses September Jones Chink A Chank Baby. I Have Faith In You is Edwin Starr's backing track and credits the right writers but changes the producers, only 'Open The Door To Your Heart' seems to be a fully legit cover with the proper credits. As many dubious practices as that bloke from Leeds; no they couldn't be could they? 1

I'm just starting to realise that Jack Ashford was involved in many of my all time favourite tracks.

Got Bari Track/Miss my baby (latter being played at the time- circa 72) around 74 from Derek at Coaville Market, who had on his labels "special import" or summat like that, soul bowl.

Can't remember the artist but label was Cameo-Parkway or just Parkway. Does that ring any bells?

Bunderthollox Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 He ripped off artists, he ripped off buyers, and now hes born again. Perhaps he can sing us all a hymn or two. This is truly a blessed time.
