Metal Plate Studio Discs ?
Just for the Record 🤣 All these Discs ARE Playable And yes Roburt you are Correct, Gary Based in Sheffield With his Black Knight Record Lists until he became rather ill with MS i believe They are nothing but metal so just a silver looking disc so i only played them the once as wouldn't do the stylus much good.

Metal Plate Studio Discs ?
I have 5 metal Plate playable One Sided Discs that i acquired from Gary S (Black Knight Records) Many years ago when i went over to purchase Vinyl off him, if i remember rightly he gave them to me. They are 12" Dull metal Discs on Blank side and Shiny Silver on the A side, with the record cut like a 7" single in the Middle. They are in brown card board sleeves all of which have an address and Phone number on and the proposed Record number on each enclosed Disc. Would love to know if anyone else has come across these on their travels or know the why's where's and when's on them. They certainly are unusual, A shame i can't take Pics of them so given as much info as i can with what vi have, so over to you Guys for any info or ideas on them.

Dwindling wildlife...............
Just spotted 9 Huge Daddy Long Legs in a Huddle outside under my Kitchen Windowsill so whether there is an increase in those i'm not sure but i have never seen that many all in one small space, very large bodies and longest legs i've seen.

Anyone remember thisone?
Yea not too bad Peter Thank You. Only speed i did was on my SX200 (within The Law Of Course) Didn't Drink or Smoke (still Don't) Couldn't afford it even if i wanted to any way as Spent all my hard earned cash on Vinyl 😄 As You Do Ha Ha🤣
-
Anyone remember thisone?
Yep! can't fault you on that one HF, I seem to remember as did it myself on the old double BSR turntables if you tweaked about with the speed select button in-between 33 and 45 rpm you could actually maintain a reasonable speed if that makes sense 🤫
-
Anyone remember thisone?
The Story goes his better 1/2 played it at the wrong speed and he over heard it being played and his ears pricked up and the rest was history, he had it covered up but for the love of me can't remember as who by or what ?, keep thinking Esther Phillips for some reason....

Anyone remember thisone?
Hi Leslie I Think it was John Manship i first heard play it at the Cleethorpes Pier , of course back then We didn't have Pitch control so was either one or the other, now of course we are able to Tweak records fast or slow without making them sound like Pinky And Perky or Lee Marvin 😄

Dwindling wildlife...............
Don't see any Starlings any more like i used to when they were considered Unwanted Greedy pest birds and the tiny birds as mentioned a rarity, never see Thrushes at all, not done for years, Put bird food out for them and remains untouched, What seems to have taken over are Sea Gulls and i live 30 miles from the coast, Wood Pigeons, Doves, Crows, Magpies, grey squirrels i get a regular visitor (hedge hog) every nite for the bananas i top and tail at breakfast and throw on the back garden grass in the morning, my neighbours have female a cat (and just bought another kitten )😟 and i get visits to my garden from 5 different cats daily because the neighbours leave food out for their cat while out at work so the cats get free feeds which doesn't help, so sad picking up dead birds around nesting time along with mice and voles, very depressing as a wildlife lover.

Sterling Magee-Keep On
Was played by myself at Cleethorpes Pier/ Winter Gardens & Prior To that gave it a few spins at the Friendship Inn (Keadby) Soul Nites so was on some early US Sales lists which is where mine possibly came from although could have been a UK purchase, a lot of water gone under the bridge since then for me 😄

New Northern Soul release?
Reading all the comments left by YouTube Viewers/Listeners with the video goes to show how far apart they are from the people on Soul-Source who have Lived and Breathed NS From the Birth of the Scene and Beyond. There wasn't one Negative Comment, not their fault by the way as to them this is how they perceive NS because of al the media interest\interference over the years, and don' worry about the current wave as i am sure there is more on the way such is the way of the world, as a POP record it works but that's it, a POP record and it will have fans and get plenty of airplay on radio stations that play this sort of stuff. More damage to an already damaged Scene 😟

Fathers Angels
Don't know if this has been covered before so apologies in advance if it has, I Have a UK MGM Demo of this and is credited on the label as being a Heritage recording which as we all know was Booted on That label in a variety of variations. So, did it ever get an official release on that label ? and has anyone got one or seen one or is it just something related to the MGM Label or Music company. I'm Sure this is something a lot of Collectors and DJ's Have pondered on over the years. Thank You In Advance.

Arthur Prysock recent If i was a boy release
Thanks John, nice to hear from you Always great to be able to share with others on things like this and i will certainly have a listen to them as sure they will be up there on youtube etc, everyone has different tastes and may take a liking to at least one of the alternative versions we have mentioned which would be good to know 😉

Arthur Prysock recent If i was a boy release
mmmmm very interesting and thank you for your input so far Guys And Gals 😉 Pretty much as i thought. Always thought was a great song and was covered by numerous other Artists with different variations of Lyrics and title. Gordon Waller - I was boy (when you needed a man) (Bell USA & UK) '69 Billie Shields - I was a boy (when you needed a man) (Harbour USA) '69 Bobby Hebb Cadet - I was a boy (when you needed a man) (Checker USA) '72 Maybe more out there but these are ones i am aware of.

Arthur Prysock recent If i was a boy release
A 7" single which has been recently released On a USA Audio Disc called If i was a boy by Arthur Prysock and flew out within hours. But the thing is to my ears this is The Allan Scott album track "You were a girl when i needed a Woman" from the 'I needed a Woman' LP (Tower USA) '69 which i used to play out back in the day. So was this just a Cover Up played here in the UK as Arthur Prysock that some one had done in the States? It has been quoted as a very rare acetate on the nett, Thoughts anyone? can't be Arthur Prysock surely.
