Not to blow this thread in a different direction, but on unreleased acetates and all that, I have a list below that I have MP3's on,  with no info as to who, where etc... maybe folks can fill in the blanks? If they are / have been Butch spins,  cool....

Lebaron Strings - I Have Faith In You (inst) This acetate was sold by Mick Smith well over a decade ago, I missed out on it, but its the same as Doni Burdick as far as I can tell.

Vivian Carroll - Oh Yeah Yeah (long intro) - I guess the orig cut, the 45 got the shortened to a radio edit?

Jimmy Bishop Trio - If You Can't Be True - nothing on this what so ever.

Clay Fulton - One Hundred Years (Unreleased) - no idea, good though

Jimmy Sherman - My Heart's Wide Open - no idea, good though

Charlotte O'Hara - The Touch Of Venus - dreadful version, but interesting none the least...

Billy Vera - People That's Why - version of Idle Few, great record, maybe Billy was in the Idle Few?

Shane Martin - I Don't Want To Talk About It - lack lustre version of Nancy Aimes

Little Charles & The Sidewinders - Win Your Love

Dee Dee Sharp - I'll Do Anything He Wants Me To

And the biggies for me, this is brilliant, The Skyliners - All The Time acetate, and Detroit Rhythm Section - Backstreets, which was a Guy Hennighan spin for sure, does he still have that?

Malc

** if I might, also, De-Lites - Lover (alt version) that I think Pete Smith saw this on Ebay, years and years ago, he managed to grab the MP3, hense we all got it, but the acetate, I wonder who got that, did it end up in the uk or Stateside, or Europe?

 

Hi Mal, nice post some great acetates, I’ve got the Little Charles Win Your Love acetate. Fabulous tune.

Actually  dave raistrick  notts palais  allnighters  late 79 -80

I can imagine you're right. In 1978 I was chatting to Dave Raistrick in the Casino record bar (about records, would you believe). He pulled out a record from his dj box and asked me if I knew it; it was Johnny James on Circle M.  I'd never seen it before.  Dave always had great records around that period.

I'm thinking of the Empires I think

yes, the empires was Dave's at the Stafford niters.

The New wanderers-this man in love-Ready was played late Wigan, by Richard S.   Is that what you're referring to Chalks?  The 'aint gonna do you know harm' came later, post Wigan.

The sky liners is superb,not heard that before! Back street instrumental is so powerful,really good! But what’s alternate about the delites?

Yes I believe soon after playing it,  the usual dodgy characters made a few trips to Hobbycraft to manufacture their own replicas.

Delites AMS acetate:   different production;  doesn't have the back-ground clapping/tambourines that runs right through the song.  And the backing singers input is less than on the Cuppy version.

Timmie Williams was Pat Brady's spin.  Dean Anderson put me onto Jimmy Bo Horne.  Keb Darge discovered the Patrinell Staten and sold it to Soul Sam.  I got my copy the week after from a contact in the States.

Don't really remember Butch getting behind Joseph Webster tbh, was around in the 80s and hammered in the 00's by others

Joseph Webster:   a very few copies turned up in the early 80s and I was able to get one on a US record trip. I was playing mainly 6ts in my spots for the first 20 years, so JW with many other Modern tunes remained in my collection. The few other people that got a copy of JW did give it a few spins during the late 80s, but had little impact (places like Thorn) It wasn't until just before 2000 did it get some plays at the all-nighters/weekenders and became a monster tune. Keb and I began playing it and before long it was massive. Soul Sam heard me playing it at some venue and managed to get a copy from Ted. I think Ted realised he'd made a mistake when he found out I was spinning it.

I bought the Rita & tiaras c/u from Andy Dyson.  He had a copy too.   I think he called it the Shalimars. I was playing all over Britain and Europe at the time, every weekend, also unlikely places like Japan, so it was relatively easy to break records.

Not all correct but to name just two: The late Boba was the first to had unearthed Emeralds on Vick, United Sounds by Greg Belson (fun fact I had Mark alongside Greg as guest DJ`s at one of my anniversaries when Greg not knowing Mark was playing the US as a C/UP dropped the needle on it with all DJ`s in the room rushing to the decks to see what it is. Mark was sitting next to me...the look on his face was priceless LOL

Marc, I think you've mistaken the 'look on my face' episode.  It wasn't because I heard someone else playing the United Sounds, it was sitting there, contemplating listening and suffering an hour or so of Gospel !!

Too bloody right Mark and Sam didn't know it until he heard you play it. He asked John Weston if he knew who had one and John mentioned me from that moment Sam nagged me for weeks.  I had bought it of Rod Dearlove for 500 quid, i eventually got one back from the States and unfortunately it was in the stolen ones. This is the label scan so easily recognizable unless its been turned into something else label wise

I heard Andy playing it before Sam.  I know Guy said he got a copy of the label owners in the early/mid 80s, but only played the instrumental flip.

Well, lets just agree it was late in the night..  Late in that very night when this got uncovered which of course would have given you all the rights in the world to look a bit surprised.

Greg got his copy years before from pestering the former owner for years at a drive in so he told me laters.   

Fun fact: Someone took a picture of that very moment when Greg played it that night - its somewhere on fb

Me too, absolutely love it, though interestingly audio on Youtube much slower than when Mark plays it out, so presumably he pitches it up a good bit - didn't occur to me until I heard the audio. Pitching up or down always strikes me as a bit of a dark art

The 'love is a trap' was a Soulbowl discovery. John A. sold it to Shaun Gibbons, who tried to get it going at his Morecambe all-nighters, just after Wigan had shut.  Keith Minshall told me what it really was, as Shaun covered it. I picked it up on a US buying trip, but couldn't fit it into my dj sets at the time. Ady C. really wanted it and offered me the Ernestine Eady as a trade ( originally a Richard S. cover-up at Wigan that never really took off )  Ady also got the Kurt Harris-emperor of my baby's heart from me at the same time.

A more definitive list of spins not yet mentioned, from mainly the early 80s to 2000.                                                                                                   

The Arcades-are you gonna leave me c/u 1984 (Jesse James-are you gonna leave me-Shirley)

Tony Owens-sweet memories of you c/u 1994 (Robert Tanner-sweet memories-Megatone)

Blenders-just an ordinary guy  c/u

Mighty Lovers-they are saying c/u

This thread just sums up the quality of the rare scene for me, what it's all about. 

Memories of  great nights dancing / listening to this stuff, 

When did you first play the mighty lovers c/up Mark? Probably my favourite record ever

I always thought it was an acetate, if it’s a cover up, it must be incredibly rare to remain undiscovered for so long.
