Hey up Brett - it was only an assumption of mine that "Wayward Dream" is white demo only simply based on its rarity. But who knows what collectors have got tucked away somewhere. Have got a very faint recollection that it was the mighty Alan Darker that first put me onto it after hearing via one of his tapes at a Southport weekender circa early nineties. I tell you what is pretty amazing - - - there's no mention of Annette Poindexter anywhere in Popsike. Guess that means since Popsike was launched no copies of her Twinight 45 have sold through Ebay. That's my girl Kirsty - quick as a flash and you were in there hahaha.... And finally for those that don't know the tune under discussion here - this is what the fuss is all about: annette poindexter - wayward dream -

Confession Time: "I, Derek Pearson have a short attention span and I get easily distracted". The Proof: My honest intensions this afternoon were to (a) mow the lawn before it starts raining and (b) take the dog out for a long walk before it starts raining. What have done this aft - spent the last hour or so pissballing about on the Internet making Google's Search Engine bleed hahaha

Yep Yep sure did bang on the button! Good man Tony As daft as it sounds I never thought whether the gloves were significant or not untill I'd actually posted up the photo. Sort of wondered if Mick Howard in his first reply was hinting at this and I actually did wonder if anybody would suggest the name The Magicians. Good idea but then the clues wouldn't fit would they? Thanks for the interest chaps. Will reply with a scan of the rear of the photo in a couple o' minutes. Derek And can we have less frivolous talk about men polishing their balls please when we solemn collectors are trying to have a serious adult conversation....... Consider yourself told off hahaha.

In all the years I was chasing this record and in all the years since obtaining it I don't ever recall seeing a copy up for sale/auction/swop whatever, either in the UK or America or indeed anywhere. Wouldn't like to hazard a guess on price but its got to be up in the range Chris A mentioned previously. And you would think because of its high value people would occassionally be off loading them and copies would rotate around the world of collectors. How about this for a theory - because you never see them, is that a good indication of just how rare it is? Would assume it was a very limited white demo press at the time and never made it to the shops as a red issue. Think she only did 2 records - this one and the one on Brena "You'll get it right back" and I don't know which came first. Did Twinight sign here on the strength of the Brena 45? However if Brena came afterwards then Twinight must have signed her up as a virtual unknown? So despite her qualities she wasn't a big hitter and Twinight might have been tempted not to plough loads of money into her promotion. Whilst I remember has anybody got a copy of Harrison & Majestic Kind on Twinight for sale or swop please? onwards, derek The story of how I got my copy is one of those just bizarre 'once in every ten years' allnighter stories that makes collectors just keep on looking and looking. And looking. And finally my copy has got a 1cm edge crack hence the pencil arrow at 7o'clock.

I've had this record for years and years and usually about once a year I get revved up thinking "there must be a vocal to this somewhere". It's too good a sound not to have some vocal group wailing over it. The label details indicate a Philly connection so other musical contacts would have been easily possible. I'll make a sound clip and post up the question on Soul Source yes I will. I will..... Then I get distracted. I go to the toilet then make a cup of coffee and another year's gone by. Help me please. Let me get some closure hahaha..... I thank you, derek Some more background info on the 45: I do see it every now and then on US Sales lists for about a tenner, flip side is a reasonable uptempo group harmony type thing sounds a bit like Four Seasons "Sherry". It's not a secret who this instrumental is by - I didn't want to pre-empt replies by giving out details first. Will post up label scan tommorrow. The N - Calling All Girls - And yes I have tried tweeking its RPM up and down to see if it could work on a dancefloor.

ucking hell Nige your copy is that shiny you can see the outline of your head on it (gasp) hahaha. derek

Hi Lydia - just to clarify "Bad Girl" came out on 2 different labels in 2 slightly different versions not sure which one you're after. Check Refosoul. And tell Mister Steve real men prefer the Musicor version not the fluffy one on Gates. Mister Dyson used to have some Musicor 45s with slightly water damaged labels cheap. onwards, derek

Hey up Mick - hows it going? Long time no see. You ask if the gloves are significant - my reply would be "only for the wearer, only for the wearer". Clue number 1 in a series of 47: The group only released one single*. The city they were based in begins with C and the state begins with O. onwards, derek * I think?
