Pete S Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) I picked this up in a collection from a guy who used to DJ at the Chateau Impney in the late 60's and early 70's. Basically it's Earl van Dyke - 6 by 6 on both sides. It's a UK press with matrix number HT 1206. Quality is average by todays standards and sounds like it's been recorded off decks...but what a curious record. I was wondering if this would predate the Soul Sounds releases? Anyone come across this one before? Rather pointless posting up a scan of a white label but I will anyway, the other side features a very poor drawing of a mouse Edited January 22, 2007 by Pete-S

Cunnie Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 They are also sh*t at maths Might be the 1st boot from the soul scene but it's been going on for ages off the soul scene. Got a big Jazz collection stored away & there are some 78 rpm bootlegs in it from the 2nd world war as vinyl just didn't get into the country. Not got a scanner but will try to get some pics of them posted up off my camera later.

Yeah I know about that mate, in fact they say that opera recordings were bootlegged in the early part of the 20th century and swapped between private collectors
Simsy Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Rather pointless posting up a scan of a white label but I will anyway So if you can be bothered to do that, when can we see the mouse?
Pete S Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 So if you can be bothered to do that, when can we see the mouse? It could actually be a cat. Or a rabbit. But if you can contain yourself for 2 minutes I will come up with the goods.
Cunnie Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Here's a couple. Gotta be pretty rare as they're all mint.
Pete S Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 This is what you get when you let a West Bromwich Albion fan do graphic design
Simsy Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 This is what you get when you let a West Bromwich Albion fan do graphic design Yeah cat or a mouse I'd say. Tail all wrong for rabbit.
Soulsmith Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah cat or a mouse I'd say. Tail all wrong for rabbit. Its obviously a rat.......and an early Pied Piper release.

Richard Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Its obviously a rat.......and an early Pied Piper release. Makes sense as that does look like a pipe in the scan as well
Soul Shrews Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah cat or a mouse I'd say. Tail all wrong for rabbit. Definately NOT a shrew

Guest Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Here's a couple. Gotta be pretty rare as they're all mint. Hi Cunnie I have had some Jazz and Blues ep's on that same label they dated from the late 50's - early 60s was told buy the guy that bought them that they had something to do with DOBELLS the famous Jazz record shop. Most likely the 78's are too. Derek
Guest mel brat Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 78 RPM bootlegs from WWII ....... and I thought I was old . Not keen on Vera Lynn , Martin , but interested in owt by Al Bowley if you have it .... Malc Burton Yeah. Al Bowley. Like him!
Guest mel brat Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) This is what you get when you let a West Bromwich Albion fan do graphic design As something of a "graphic designer", I think it's ok! ('course, it could do with some work...) Of course, it could be a "Wolf" (the Wolves) being beaten with a stick! Edited January 24, 2007 by mel brat
Guest mel brat Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 They are also sh*t at maths Not as bad as me, I'll bet...
Guest mel brat Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I picked this up in a collection from a guy who used to DJ at the Chateau Impney in the late 60's and early 70's.... Was it "Farmer" Carl Dene?

Got a big Jazz collection stored away & there are some 78 rpm bootlegs in it from the 2nd world war... Gosh! Imagine "6x6" - played at 78 RPM! Sure beats speeding up Epitome Of Sound and calling it "Moses Smith"
Mace Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 They are also sh*t at maths Not as bad as me, I'll bet... Maybe not too wise to be betting if you're sh*t at maths. Odds are you won't be able to work out your winnings / losses
Pete Morgan Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I used to know a youth who had "Black Power" on a 78 bootleg I am Not a Bootlegger :-) I cut the Black Power on to 78 rpm acetate late 77! I bought an EMI 78 rpm recording machine mid 70,s ( a museum piece ) and i cut two copies of James Colt and One copy of Jimmy McFarland just for a laugh. The quality was crap as it was recorded from speakers from my Auntie Flossies music centre through to a Classic looking chrome type 'elvis' microphone onto a 1950,s cutting machine. Small world that i have been sprung ! I am amazed !! That would be a one of as i threw the other copy out years ago. I still have the Jimmy McFarland back in Wales though, no money ever passed hands and no 45 was hurt in the tests I still have the emi machine in North Wales if any Museum is interested to buy it! 100% true story Pete Morgan

Rather pointless posting up a scan of a white label but I will anyway, the other side features a very poor drawing of a mouse I was led to believe that the Soul Sounds releases date from between 1968 - 1969. Wasn't 6 by 6 a 1970 release?
