Well Chalks, far be it from me to disagree with R'n'B indies, but on style & recording I can't believe it, I'm sure I had a Spiedels stamped with a '66 date, also my Empires had a "Chips" sticker on it, I've never seen one on anything as early as 62-63 ??

Modern tailor-made surely?

"What About The Music" inst.?

Matadors is at least 1965, so is the Empires on Candi, I'd like to see proof they are as early as '63.

Spray mount is what I'd use, available from most art shops.

Butch's old Tobi Lark C/U, miles better than Ward Burton which should've been used for clay pigeon shooting.

That was Jah Tubby Sound in Broadway Market E.8, been gone a long, long time, I used to go there along with Pete Lawson to get stuff cut, he may well have sold to Brum, most of his customers were from there. Music House at that time (mid to late 80's) was located in Finsbury Park, just upfrom the station, it moved to Holloway (handy for Keb) in the 90's.

Guy played the copy that Barrie Waddington had.

Yes there was a white Monarch test press that was done when it was booted.

I can still remember Keb having an acetate of it as Otis Pollard ( it may have been Otis Pollard and the Silhouettes) any way it was a Dave Withers/Rod Shard sound/discovery so I'll wait for confirmation from Rod thanks

Butch got one out of Jim Wensioras collection for a nice price, I remember the other copy he had as well.

It was covered up as Otis Pollard as I far as I recall, maybe Rod will confirm, I know of at least 5 different copies.

Would he be Little Archie on Dial, I wonder?

It looks like a copy of "Les Chansonettes", am I missing something?

Ian, the Fidels is "I'm Giving You Notice" on Dore. Spider Man??

The American Razzamatazz club in Brierley Hill!

I always liked Spike Milligan's quote about hoping Harry Secombe died before him as he didn't want him singing at his funeral....

Isn't Duffy the offspring of Rock n' Souler and Solomon Burke sound-a-like Shakin' Stevens?

Bongos at Prestatyn? Grrrreat!? What next? Banjos? I'm off to rinse my ears out with some records.

out of interest what does this go for on demo?

Bruce Forsyth on Blue Cat has got to take some beating

To recap Landa-1965-original, Phil-la, etc-re-issues/re-releases

Probably reissued due to it's release on Route records in '75, down to it's popularity on the scene.
