The 45 pictured in his "buy it now" on eBay and on his site is definitely pressed on vinyl. Check it out: https://www.recordsby...keywords=297107 https://cgi.ebay.com/...em=300491830711 By the way, he has got 23 copies in stock at the moment.

Curtis Lee exists on both vinyl and styrene. I've only ever seen Little Willie Jones on vinyl. It would surprise me if that tiny label 45 was pressed on two different locations or more than one time. In my experience, the majority of all buyers don't care whether a 45 is pressed on styrene or vinyl. So it's not really something that a seller SHOULD state, but it's ofcourse good if they do for those of us that do care.

The resemblance is uncanny!

You're absolutely right. They also released a superb sunshine pop 45 as The Morning Mist on EVENT.

Yes.

It was written and produced by Cashman, Pistilli & West if that's of any interest:

The TARPON and CHIRRUP releases are both from 1965 and has got the exact same versions. In fact both releases are pressed from the same stampers. The VEE-JAY release from 1957 is however a completely different recording.

There seems to have been two different Italian issues of this 45. NOTE that the catalogue number for "Just Because Of You" is CN A 9237. I'd suggets that the sleeve with the following info is the FIRST issue because it advertises releases that were issued PRIOR to "Just Because Of You" i.e. CN A 9221, CN A 9222, CN A 9223 and the album MS A 77155 (these were all released in 1965/1966): The following is most likely the SECOND issue because it advertises and shows a picture of a release that was issued AFTER "Just Because Of You" i.e. CN A 9239 . It also advertises the single CN A 9236 and the album MS A 77163 (these were all released in 1967): I might be totally wrong ofcourse, but that's my take on it.

It was just common practice, especially on english language releases. Most scandinavian releases read "Made in Sweden", "Made in Denmark" and "Made in Norway". The same goes for many other european countries like France, Holland etc. Everything else on those spanish and italian Durium labels is written in the mother tongue.

A couple of slightly bigger scans of the US demo and issue from Popsike:

The 45 that steveluigi has posted up a scan of (on the STIBBE label) is pressed in Holland/Netherlands. It reads "Kant B" on the label. "Kant" in dutch means "Side". I.e. Side B. Many european record labels used imported picture sleeves during the 60s and pressed up 45s in their own country resulting in several strange sleeve/45 combinations.

Mine are also 80-minute mp3s. They want you to mark out where each song starts, but you don't HAVE to. I don't do that.

When you get to the upload page you can enter up to 5 categories of your own for each mix. They are the "tags" for your mix. If you put "rocksteady" and "ska" as your categories, your mixes will show up if a user searches for either genre via the search engine. Here's what showed up when I searched for "rocksteady": https://www.mixcloud....tag/rocksteady/ and "ska": https://www.mixcloud.com/tag/ska/ Seeing as you will promote your cloudcasts yourself, it doesn't really matter which category you put them in. The "tags" are more important.

Here is the french white demo followed by the two french issues. NOTE the different catalogue number on the demo SP 399 which also can be found in the matrix of the "drunken intro" issue:

As far as the french pressing goes... The "drunken intro" one has got the following matrix: M3 301861 1 and 96772 A 21 and SP 399A The "count-in intro" one has got the following matrix: M3 308552 1 and 96772 A 22 NOTE the higher numbers in the "count-in" matrix (underlined above). It is most likely the later pressing.

No, you don't have to be a member to listen to the cloudcasts. Anyone can listen. Yes you can. Here's a direct link to one of my mixes: https://www.mixcloud....mix-2009-05-11/ Click the big green button on the above page to listen. Correct, it's unfortunately not possible to download the mp3s or feed the casts to itunes.

I think both french pressings came in that cartoon sleeve. Also the pressing order is the other way around, the second pressing has only got the count-in intro. French 1st press Strata East, picture bag, full drunken intro (credited Gil-Scott Heron on label) French 2nd press Strata East, picture bag, edited intro, only count in (credited Gil-Scott Heron/Brian Jackson on label)

Another option is to upload your podcasts to Mixcloud. Check it out: https://www.mixcloud.com/about/ It's totally free. Everyone can listen to what you've uploaded, but the only drawback is that it's not possible to download the actual MP3 file. Here are some of my mixes, just so you get an idea of how it works: https://www.mixcloud.com/shingaling/ As soon as you post a new mix, an e-mail goes out to all the people that "follow" you.
