phatspinner Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Any info regarding the Inspirations, Touch Me kiss Me hold me on black Pearl 100. Was it booted or did it just turn up in quantity back in the day? It's not in the Bootleg guide I have so are they all originals etc? Any info from the experts on here appreciated.
Soul-slider Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Don't think it was booted, and anyway, the one in your picture looks like an original to these eyes. Think you can safely say it's kosher.
Chalky Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 don't think it was booted either but it came out two or three times on the label, different flip and coiuple of label designs, Black Pearl, curved and straight.

Dave Moore Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Been looking for a W/Demo of this for what seems like eons. I'm reasonably sure I saw them around 77/78 but haven't seen any since. Not sure if it was the earlier release or not either. Any fellow vinyl maniac wanna confirm/deny the existence for me and confirm which label font is on the demo? Help appreciated.

I have a demo of one of the inspirations on black pearl, which check which one and let you know when I get home...

Dave, I have small quantity (4 maybe 5 copies) on the white demo. It has 'What Am I Going To Do With You' on both sides and from memory it has the same font as shown in the picture on this thread. I filed them away in a pile somewhere about 18 months ago and haven't found them again since. If anyone wants one then let me know and I'll have a proper search for them. Although it might be a week or two before I get the chance to look so you'll have to bear with me! Adam.

Let me know when condition and price when you come across them will you.
Guest Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Hi Adam, I'll take one off your hands Mate. Let me know when condition and price when you come across them will you. No problem, Dave. I'll drop you a PM when I turn them up. Adam.

Guest Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Don't think "Touch me.." exists on a white demo, does it? Hi John, No, I don't think it does. The demos I have (when I find them!) are 'What Am I Going To Do With You' on both sides so I doubt very much that demos exist with a B side. Cheers Adam. Edited December 3, 2007 by Guest
Cover-up Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Fans of "What Am I Gonna Do With You" should check another Russ Titelman song by The Cinderallas on Dimension. The flip to "Baby Baby" is the wonderful "(If This Is Just A Dream) Please Don't Wake Me". Weird how "Touch Me Hold Me Kiss Me" seems to have come out twice as a flip-side?
Platters 81 Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 would like a British Polydor of this......whats the availability /price...?
givemesoul Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 cheers chalky,what am i gonna do is one of my fave tunes, beautiful tune in my opinion Had this for 20 years,always assumed touch me was the only side,never flipped it over untill now,awesome track. Cheers guys,well happy Alan
phatspinner Posted December 5, 2007 Author Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks for the info guys. B side is indeed an excellent beat ballad but I still prefer the "touch me" side myself. My Manships guide rates it at £30, is this a fair reflection? I remember buying it from Selectadisc c1972 /3 when they seemed to be plentiful hence my original question re "boots."

Guest Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 I have a spare M- copy of INSPIRATIONS - TOUCH ME, HOLD ME / WHAT AM I GONNA DO - BLACK PEARL 711 £30 inc uk post if anyone wants it. Derek
