its a very straight line for a styrene join, very unscientific test done by seller but he says all the copies have it but then again its not a bad price.

Bought Blues and Soul Packs and got some great records in them' Also bought one from Anglo American (T. Brown) i was a good customer at the time (2000) £35 for 100 got some really good stuff in it,and left half in the box and put in loft,looked at it last year and found some more gems. Also had one from Gary at Black Knight records when he was selling up with some decent records in. so all in all a good experience with soul packs.

Down Boy!!

and another take of Maxine

I would have thought some people actually collect pressings (boots) I bet some are hard to find,what is the most valuable pressing(not 2nd issue)?? when is a british issue a pressing?

Do you have enough money to become a top northern DJ ? NO ! nor do I have the inclination.But enjoyed reading the thread thanks

The LP version on Summertime/Unbelievable is 4:12 long but the extended alternate version which I also have is 4:54 long and is on the double album on vinyl and CD Billy Stewart One More Time which has 2 tracks unreleased previously and loads of other tracks,so they must have had access to the chess master tapes which I assume is where they found the extended version. I will try and put that version on refosoul later today if I can figure out how to do it.This double album has a lot of info. on it and lists all the musicians that recorded on each of billy's tracks including dates etc. But it does not mention that it is an alternate take and only refers to it as on the Summertime LP,I think One More Time was released in Europe perhaps Italy as I know they were particularly fond of him over there. So sorry if I caused any confusion!,as an aside to this he did appear at my local nighter in the late sixties The Attic in Doncaster but that night was advertised as Jnr. Walker and the All Stars so loads of people (older brother included) who had already seen Jnr. went to the Manchester Wheel and missed him.He also appeared at the Retford Broken Wheel on the same tour. Aaahhh ! those were the days I'll have to ask Joe Lakin or Alan Taylor if they know why it wasn't advertised as Billy Stewart as both used to be resident DJ 's at the Attic.

There is a french p/s on the bay which may be the same version there is a sound sample on the listing check it out PM'd ya

It is deffo off the album and what a fabulous track it is too i think it is over 4 mins long,Summertime LP or unbelievable LP both on chess.Lots more horns etc than the 7" version.
