Worth buying for the Mill Evans and Chico, Barbara & Junior tracks alone I think but, overall, looks to be a predominantly well thought out compilation

Whilst I loved a lot of instrumentals way back when I have to admit that vocals to the instrumental became my preferred sides as life and the scene progressed.. Not just the Luther Ingram track... the likes of the M-S Records release of 'The Stride' eventually gave way to my preference for 'I Can Get Along Without You Now', as another example, so.. 'If It's All The Same To You' gets my vote

Thanks Mike !! That has proved very useful and answered my initial questions Must remember to utilise the search facility before making such posts in the future as it truly is a mine of information that can answer a lot of basic questions on various aspects of the music we all love so much

Can any of you wonderfully knoweldgeable folk out there tell me the story behind the Expansion release of 'Breakaway' please? Is it just a dubbed over vocal thingy thats been re-jigged, and is it legit !! Look forward to some fascinating facts.. TIA Fingers

Thanks @Soulbid and a shame if that is the case, but makes sense.. TMG demo anyone ??

Any one have either a Gordy White Promo or UK TMG demo for sale please ?? TIA

Yea, I saw that on your copy.. but mine is a blank label both sides - no sticker, although it came with the same photocopied insert/track listing If it was £50 you got for your copy @dobber, then I'll have to dig mine out with a view to listing it in sales.. Happy Days !!

I would also be interested to know how many were pressed.. can't have been many, surely ?? I also have a copy so would like to have an idea of current value too, please ?? TIA

Many thanks for the scans and info Roger @45cellar So, in summary, defo black label demos of the B Swann 45 - with a white demo NOT to be discounted as there may be copies out there.. Somewhere !!

Thanks Steve @WoodButcher Managed to confuse myself - which, as you know, isn't that hard !!

Just checked a copy of the LP you quoted Steve and it does indeed show a demo! Top Man and thank you So.. all I need now is someone to sell me a copy

I'm good thanks Steve and trust you & you and yours are all good too.. I'm certain i've at least seen a Larks 45 on green & white but not aBetty Swan.. are you saying you have? Or just another release in that format?

Make Me Yours/I will not Cry on Money.. do White Demos exist of this does anyone know please? I'm certain i've seen other releases on green and white demo's, but may be wrong !?! Any assistance greatfully received and appreciated

Many thanks..

Looking for an Ex or better copy of 'Don't Stop Loving Me' from the Motown Box Set if anyone can help please? TIA All sorted now.. Thank you!

Can any of you knowledgeable peeps out there tell me if this was issued as part of a box set please ?? TIA

As Phillipe states, CD only, other than the actetate he mentions and which I was once the proud owner.. until I had to sell up a few years back - I believe the Willinghams purchased it ultimately I had a carver made, that I used for playing out, with bespoke Tamla labels stuck on and looked the biz and which now resides with my brother in law.. I put a release date on it of 13 Nov 1964 - which is my wife's birthday

I woke to rumours this morning, which were quickly confirmed and left me deeply shocked and saddened Condolences to his family and closest friends.. another one gone before their time!

Remember seeing Linda Griner at Nott's County FC in the 90's and feeling for her. Bad enough she was singing to a backing track but, sadly, her best days had long gone.. In contrast. Jesse Davies at Cleggy few years back absolutely blew me away! I was that immersed in his rendition of 'Stormy' I had to take myself outside to compose myself - I was that emotional! I already knew his version having got it on an album some years prior, but when he started performing it live It took me to another planet altogether.. In summary.. Some still have it but others don't

Looking for a current purchase value please, for Oscar Perry 'I Got What You Need' Peritone, in at least ex And.. are there demo's of this at all? TIA

Another want for the Brother In Law.. Looking for an minimum Ex promo copy of Seven Day Lover on IX Chains Please pm with details TIA Fingers

Kyp's name was originally Kypros Roubinas - we used to travel everywhere together from late 70's and early 80's. He changed his name by deed poll to that of Kyp Highbury - with him being, at the time, an avid Arsenal supporter! I do see him whenever I get out and about, mainly at functions in the Midlands, but I rarely get out at all these days! He has indeed shed several stone in weight over the past few years, and looks great as a consequence A lifelong friend since mid-70's and quite a character too Not certain, but have a feeling his mum still lives in the same bungalow in Huntingdon Kyp grew up in Back in the day he was the only collector of LP's I was aware of, and has had some amazing albums pass through his hands over the years.. I still have (somewhere) an album sales list of his from the late 70's that included the withdrawn UK Len Barry LP - with his sales patter including the comment: 'No LP sleeve - don't think it was issued with one' £25 Them were the days..

Another you don't hear very often - if at all ! And another scarce 45 too.. Good choices @speedlimit - keep 'em coming !!
