Guest Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Did you write it? Did you put it out on the white lable 7 on Motorcity? Yes I wrote it. And it was a twelve inch on Motorcity - MOTC83 But that was not the version that you like. That was re-recorded in 1998 for The Strange World Of Northern Soul. It was on the "You Didn't Say A Word" album. Then in 2006, Kev Roberts put out another single I did with her, called "Right Out Of Time" on a white label seven inch, and he put "Good Luck" on the B side, which was the first time it had been on a seven inch.

Guest Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Ian Levine Why does every record you produce sound the same! (sorry for the double post) Obviously you have not listened to the the very diverse recordings in / of Ian's highly creditable catalogue : if you had , you would have not made the comment ........ Such recordings as Vaness Haynes " Leaving The Scene Of The Crime " , Earlene Bentley " Water Under The Bridge " , Gerod Harris " Headaches And Heartaches " , Tammi Lavette " No Way Out " , Noel McKoy " My Claim To Fame " ( in my estimation - better than the James Wells' original produced / written by Ian ) , and the immaculate " Work My Fingers To The Bone " by Carol Jiani , These records are highly creative - and as stated - diverse , and do not sound in the slightest similar to each other : if they do , there is something very wrong with my hearing , or more to the point , my appreciation of a good record ......... You are no doubt a decent individual , but judging by your pseudonym - and this is no disrespect to anyone who frequented that establishment - and I am sorry for saying this , but you would appear to be a person who strongly favours a particular style / era of NS ( that is your choice , and I commend you for for beliefs ) , and that there is a reluctance to have , or wish to have , a broader appreciation of anything that may be rhythmically different .........

Guest mel brat Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 One question I have pondered over for some time Ian, if I may. What was the first ever 12" disc you bought/played at the Mecca (or elsewhere)?, and did the availability of the new 12" disc format influence your choice of what to play - that is to say, did you favour a particular record because it was on 12" rather than 7" only? When and how did you first become aware of the 12" disc format? (for example, I recall Stratavarious "I Got Your Love" being played on a solid centred Canadian Polydor 7" at the Mecca, being presumably replaced later on by the US Roulette 12") This may seem a quite trivial question, but as it relates to the DJ's response to the newly emergent 12" disc, I think it may have some wider interest.

The first twelve inch we played was Vickie Sue Robinson "Never Gonna Let You Go". Kev Roberts returned from New York in the early months of 1975 with one copy and gave it to me. We had never seen a twelve inch before. It was a four track twelve which stupidly repeated the track over and over. Not for sale - DJ only. Despite what others say, it was indeed the first EVER twelve inch disc, which I can attest to personally. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Dewhirst Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 And where are my copies ?????????????????????? Going back to the bloody pressing plant to be destroyed! The 3rd set of TP's were just fine and approved but they used the wrong stamper on the 'B' side of the finished copies with the result that we've now had to recall all of 'em! Luckily I managed to stop the big wholesale orders before they were despatched and the radio copies were due to go out today, so the only copies which have escaped were the ones I gave out @ Prestatyn and the lucky sods who put their orders in first via Soul Source and got them mailed yesterday, who have now all been contacted and told they will receive a fresh pressing free of charge as soon as we get them. So it's really been a question of damage limitation with the result that there are actually only about 40 copies out there with perfectly good 'A' sides but duff 'B' sides. A collectors item for some but a major headache for us. It could have been far worse as something like a further 400 copies were due to be despatched today! I hope this is a good example for anyone who thinks that getting a record pressed these days is easy. I have never, in 32 years of getting records pressed, had as many problems as "Cafe Regio's" has posed in 2008. I think the art of pressing decent 7" vinyl records is being lost as I'm hearing many similar stories from other people - in one recent case, no less than 5 sets of TP's were rejected on quality grounds. We have now sacked the pressing plant in question and will moving all future production to the plant which Paul Mooney recommended (so many thanks Paul). I'm waiting for delivery information but I guess the new copies should be with us by the close of next week touch wood. Many apologies to all. I've been responsible for 1000's of releases since 1974 and I have never encountered the amount of problems that this one has suffered.
