I get your point, but honestly, it's a photo (I hope you own the right to print/publish it by the way...? ) not part of the text which you've written. Posting a scan of the photo from your mag doesn't make me NOT want to buy your magazine.

I guess a lot of people know that there are other versions of "I'm Gonna Run Away From You" apart from the Tami Lynn recording, but have you heard this one... ImGonnaRunAwayFromYou.mp3 Was just going through some 60s pop stuff I had in a pile and bumped upon it!

Are you perhaps thinking about this: Jimmie Blue - Why, Why, Why / Bumming Around - KING 1214 Haven't heard it myself, but I'm pretty sure that it's a different tune as the KING 1214 release is from 1953.

Can anyone scan it, please?

Are you sure that it is associated with Sew City? I doubt that. The Witches And The Warlock release is the oddest release on the label, everything else I've ever seen/heard on the label is rocksteady or ska. Label listing: BRA 001 - Lloyd & Glen - Minnie Skirts & Go Go Boots / A Good Man BRA 502 - Blues Busters with Byron Lee - How Sweet It Is / I Had A Dream Last Night BRA 503 - Blues Busters - Wide Awake In A Dream / My Girl BRA 503 - Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - Your No Good / Behold BRA 506 - Blue Busters - Can't Believe You're Gone / Soon You'll Be Gone BRA 602 - Blues Busters - Happy Man / My Girl BRA 602 - Blues Busters - Wide Awake In A Dream / Wings Of A Dove BRA 901 - Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - the record / Hang On Sloopy BRA 904 - L. Perkins - Sandra / No Love No Money BRA 1101 - Witches And The Warlock - Behind Locked Doors (vocal) / (instrumental) BRA 2011 - Ken Boothe - I Don't Want To See You Cry / ? BRA 201? - Blues Busters - I Won't Let You Go / Love Me Forever

If you can offer me an original Kentone copy of "I Won't Let You Go" (in EX condition at least) I will be interested in selling the Dutch copy to you. Failing that, as soon as I get myself a Kentone copy I'll offer the Dutch UA copy to you. The sound quality on "Soon you'll Be Gone" is actually better on the dutch 45 than on the Sunshine 45!

Seems to be two Blues Busters threads going right now. "Can't Believe You're Gone" was originally issued in Jamaica on the Sunshine label (with both wine-red and black labels). I don't know where the Bra label is from, but some people have suggested Canada. It's a very rare record and seldom comes up for sale. Superb tune.

No, because Quinton sold the rights to this track to Fame Records so he is not entitled to license it to ANYONE. Only Fame Records are allowed to license it because they own the rights to the recording (as stated by Tony above).

Superb group. Finally got ahold of a nice copy of the following a couple of weeks ago:

Superb album pretty much from beginning to end! Early 80s Capitol... we really should have a "sounds" thread concentrating on that.

1) Yes, I know it but I don't own a copy. 2) No, I don't know why. But I suspect that it's the flipside, "Just When I Thought (You Were Mine)", which is the "right" tune. One for the beat ballad collectors or - if speeded up - perhaps something for the popcorn scene. 3) I have no idea but yes, probably. I sure wouldn't though. Stick it on eBay with a soundclip!

There doesn't seem to be much info about him out there. A thing which has intrigued me for a while is that at the end of the following clip of the MC5 playing "The American Ruse" on a TV show called The Lively Spot": Download Video Youtube Link The presenter says something along the lines of: "stay tuned for more performances by Little Milton, Billy Sha-Rae, Little Milton amongst others" So... who's got this entire show? There might very well exist TV footage of Billy and I'd really like to see it.

It was issued on both Gospel Truth and Stax in the US. The Gospel Truth release is from 1972 and the Stax issue is from 1977. A truly superb tune.

James Walsh Gypsy Band - "Cuz It's You Girl" - £5 on LP, £75-£150 on 45.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that the scan above is taken from his copy.

Jason beat me to it...

Solid Solution "Think About It Girl", about £25-£50 on LP, and I can't even estimate how much the 45 would cost if an original copy ever turned up for sale... Tony Fox "Let Love And Be Loved", reasonably cheap on LP, very expensive on 45.

I agree.

Yep! Sounded great.

...and it was unbelievably good!!! Defintiely do go and see her if you have the chance! She's still VERY energetic and has got a truly amazing voice which at times reduced me to tears. A guy called Donny Gerrard handled some of the backing vocals... can it be THE Donny Gerrard of "He's Always Somewhere Around" fame on Greedy? Top concert!!!

Most tunes can be bought cheap if they are unknown or un-hyped no matter how good they are, and the only time this Angela Davis 45 was cheap was when pretty much no one knew about it. Matt Weingarden (Mr. Finewine) have played it twice on his radio show, the first time on the 9th of October 1998 and then again on the 25th of March 2005. The first time I heard it was on the March 2005 date. I loved it and went almost crazy during the following weeks while trying to find a copy because they just weren't around. Then, as if by magic, Puresoul Records from Germany listed a copy on their site on the 15th of April 2005 which I bought for €30. That copy had been found a couple of days prior to that in a store called Downtown Records in Berlin. After that two copies have sold on eBay, both in December 2006 from different sellers, selling for $372 and $481, one copy going to the UK and one to Japan. Check them out here: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260065212495 and here: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=230068827702 And that was when this still was a pretty unknown record to most people (I'm ofcourse not claiming that it was unknown prior to 1998 or 2005, and some collectors most likely have copies tucked away in their collections, BUT it wasn't exactly widely talked about or well known). The only exposure it had gotten up until Arthur Fenn started DJing with it and it appearing on Manship's auction, was via Finewine's show and from my swap CDs, DJing, MP3-mixes and raving about it on forums in general - and let's be honest, that's not much exposure and obviously went past most people. I'm not saying that it's the rarest record ever, but it sure isn't easy to find either.

Marc, I get your point. Thanks for taking the time to listen to them.

Just out of interest, where did I state anything about these records having soul content or being "fit" for the northern scene? I was simply asking if anyone had any info on these tracks because there are quite a lot of people on this forum who know quite a bit about records. The Dick Charles acetate is, in any case, a great piece of music. It is one-sided so has only got that number on one side. The number being the date of recording seems reasonable, making it 15th of January 1965 or 5th of November 1965.

Thanks for the information! It all makes perfect sense because another IBC acetate which I found in the same batch includes both sides of Ray & Elaine's "Never Can A Tear" b/w "Please Be Patient" 45 on DJM from 1969. I'll try to get in contact with Elaine and find out if the tracks above are unissued or not. I agree, the number on the left side is a bit confusing. But perhaps it was the third track recorded at a single session and so a number was associated to the tune by default? Recording three tracks during a session and choosing the best two for the 45 happened quite a lot. I honestly don't know, just speculating. Thanks again for your comments!
