Sean Hampsey Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yeh... I remember it.... ...except it wasn't a flexi! It was a 33rpm EP called "PhillyFreebie" given away with each of four new release Philly albums of the day and featuring a sample track from each. MFSB - The Zip Billy Paul - Let The Dollar Circulate Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Don't Leave Me This Way O'Jays - Family Reunion Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hiya, Mine's a flexi! They must of run out of vinyl? P There might be a lot of truth in that! Tell you what, you learn something new every day on here! I honestly never knew that it had appeared on a flexi. Sorry Fellas Still, I bet you didn't know it had come out on a stiffy! I bought mine brand new with the O'Jays, Family Reunion LP. O' course, you wouldn't be able to DJ very well with a flexi... especially one covered up and then speeded up to 45 RPM The Philly copy is: PIR JB1 The Flexi copy is LYNTONE LYN3280 Lyntone was the European licensee of the Flexi Process. Remember at the time (76) it caused quite a bit of a storm - being by Billy Paul and covered up as "Ann Perry" of all people. Think it may have been Rick Scott who did it (but I might be wrong). Certainly Cleethorpes Pier / Mecca period. I was resident at The Charade in Rotherham at the time... and might well have been the only person in the North to play it at the correct speed (early doors... of course). Personally, I reckon its now, not far off, the right tempo for the middle of the night! Think I'll give it a go sometime... but mine'll be a stiffy (none of that flacid stuff).

Sean think johm manship may have been guilty of giving it a play. mark Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hiya, Just for the record (excuse the pun!), here 's my flexi. Free from Honey magazine!. Yes, hard to play without putting on over another disc to play it!
