Dave Moore

Yep, I know what you mean Been pushed a few times but never really had it's day... but it will. Quality will eventually out. Been a couple sold recently so hopefully folks will start playing it again.

I've had a couple of the Goldspot 45s and all have been the real thing. I've never seen or heard of a Goldspot boot. Anyone got a scan? Any difference on the labels etc? Anyone actually seen/handled one for definite?

I played this at this years Hitsville Weekender. Steady stream of folks coming to see what it was. Great forgotten record that should be reactivated. QUALITY.

Goldspot is the local Ohio label owned by Kenny Smith. It was the only release on the label. Kenny went on to become General Manager at GAR.

I've never seen a Goldspot Demo either.

Jerry Butler is still 'The Iceman", and still opens with "Moody Woman". Dave Fergie and I saw him in Tampa last year. The young lady who duets with him on the Brenda Lee Eager stuff was fantastic. Here's a few pics of the man. On stage and backstage. He was a real gent. He is very interested in the Chicago political scene and is a City Councillor. The other black guy in the pics is none other than Mr Eugene Dickson. A great weekend.

Sir, It's obvious you have impeccable taste! Enjoy.

That was the instrumental Steve. Is the vocal to LARS on the Satiron 45 (The Gallop)? I never knew that.

Sad but so true.

Good call Joe.

Hi Mick, Sounds like you would benefit from buying a few issues of this mag Mate (blatant plug). The labels of Berry Gordy and the arists/people involved feature heavily: THERES THAT BEAT!

Tried to punt a Philly Showcase last year. Who would like to see: Frankie Beverly (Doing his Northern outings) Yvonne Baker (Doing the same) Bunny Sigler Lee Andrews Unfortunately Ms Baker wasn't up for it, (she has personal problems), neither was Lee Andrews. (He runs a craft shop now). FB would cost an arm and a leg...but could be persuaded and Bunny is only a phone call away. That would be a dream line up for me.

I think Mill Evans has been approached already. From what I gather he's not too keen but hasn't ruled it out completely.

I'd be interested in anything like that that is original vintage. If you have a list please PM me with it with pwhat you want for each item.

I rate this as seriously tough to find on W/Demo. I searched high and low when Eddie posted his but couldn't find one anywhere, in any condition. Managed to wrestle Eddie's from him eventually. Cheers Matey. :lol:

Better than the one with Barbara Acklin on the flip eh? Always Loved Nothing But Blue Skies...reminds me of Fuse.

I know of 3 different variations of Laurie Demos: 1. The one posted 2. The normal label with promo text. 3. The browner colored one with similar layout to the one posted above. Has ANYONE EVER seen a W/Demo of ANYTHING on Laurie. I've asked this question a couple of times before with the same result. No, Nada, Niet!

Had a few UK thing in the 80s that I picked up at various places for peanuts and then shifted in three auctions about '90. Also had some great results Stateside in some weirdest of places including a pet shop where I found a 50 count box of Patti Austin "Pain Stain" demos for $5.00. The box, not each! But....here's the flip side... About 1998 I was en route to Sheridans where I was to pay for a long time want. I stopped off at Gingers do in Burnley to have a beer with a few old Mates and knock a few 45s out to 'em. As I walked in I was met by a dealer/collector who asked "You DJing Dave", my answer "No it's a sales box", led to him opening the box and taking about 600UKP worth of 45s out and asking "How much for these Mate?". "Are they for you?" I asked. "Yep sure are" came back the reply. "Give us 300 then as we're Mates". So, the deal was done with an "OK, I'll send the dosh in the post if I can't borrow it tonight OK?" Fast forward a couple of hours...Mate comes up with the 300 quid. "there you go Pal, sorted". Now you'd think it was smiles all round eh? Unfortunately not. Few minutes later up strolls another Mate. "Dave..Can I leave these in yer box for safe keeping Mate?" "Yep", says I "What you got?" Yep, you guessed it! He'd bought some of the 45s that I'd just sold earlier to the other 'mate' for half price, at the prices I had originally priced them at! I felt extremely pissed off. It was then pointed out to me by someone else that they weren't mine anymore and that what the other guy got for them was his business. I decided there and then that the people I would do favours for as far as records were concerned, would shrink considerably!

I dropped a bollock with this too a few years ago. Found it in a box at Tony's Emporium in Blackburn about 15 years ago, I'd never heard of a white Laurie demo of ANYTHING? It was marked at 30 squidleys or summat. Made a few enquiries that night of some other collectors and nobody had heard of it. Took a chance and got it for 25 having sold my coloured demo to a mate there and then for 30 to cover it. It's a boot I reckon for sure, it's plain when you hear the sound reproduction. Plus the R in the deadwax is a bit of a giveaway. I thought it might be a reissue that slipped by me but I couldn't verify anything. Even now when I show it people they end up scratching their heads. Be great to find out the who, why and wherefores of this particular 45. Over to you....anyone?

Kenny Burrell, Ginger too. They're around, just doesn't come up very often.

Wasn't it that fine spinner of 45s Rob Marriot who championed IGTBF? Heard it played at Hitsville by Pete Fowler, couldn't resist the draw to the dancefloor. Great record.
