Hello Mal, this but slowed down.

F.A.O T.M could be Tommy Mottola (recorded as T.D Valentine on Epic and ex husband of Mariah Carey and Sony Records boss) Ujima's next record was Hall & Oates "She's Gone" Tommy was heavily involved with them and went on to be their manager.

Hello Mick, Your quote above made me think of this clip on Youtube. The English guy talking on here is Dr Oliver Sacks, a Neuroligist and Author, I've read his book Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain. Watch the wonder of Henry coming alive when listening to his favourite music. When the headphones are taken off Henry talks passionately about Cab Calloway and starts singing. His whole mood transformed from nearly mute to expressing what it means to him "It Gives Me The Feeling Of Love", he can't stop talking. All this just through a few songs, it's incredible what music can do for you. Mick, I wish you all the best with your health my friend. Music is medicine, to be taken everyday.

I used to watch some of his videos. Here's a nice find by him (video link starts at 10:32mins)

The Violinaires - Trying To Get Ready - Checker 1966

First Class - Tell Me What You Want - Park-Way NM £200 This is the much rarer issue with the better B-side, great dancer.

The Showmen - Our Love Will Grow

These were copyrighted like this, three months apart. Empty Balcony / Where Did You Go Last Night (Barrett Strong, Wade Flemons) (Both Copyrighted 12 Nov 1964) What's A Guy Supposed To Do / I Can't Get Away From Your Love (Barrett Strong, Wade Flemons, Chuck Barksdale) (Both Copyrighted 11 Feb 1965) That's how they probably should of came out but the demo mispress of Empty Balcony / Where Did You Go Last Night actually play Where Did You Go Last Night / I Can't Get Away From Your Love. As i've mentioned on here before i don't think the issue that is on 45cat actually exists. It looks like a low res photoshop job with cut lines. I've chased this record for over 20 years and have never seen anything other than a hand full of demos. It was first known and played on the scene when it came out on "A Taste Of Soul Volume One" CD in 1993 which states it was unissued.

This is from Record World November 8th 1969

From Discogs https://www.discogs.com/label/1189798-Superior-Record-Pressing-Corp-Somerdale-NJ Superior pressings are often found with a "TC", "TVC", "ATN" or "TVCA" etch in runouts, which signifies plating performed at Tracy-Val Corporation, a separately-owned electroforming company located adjacent to the Somerdale plant. Please credit according to instructions found in the profile.

The one 14 seconds long is called "Evening Breeze" it's an instrumental on the b-side of Beverley Hills "I Don't Care Anymore" on Air Play Records.

I have the mispress. I've known of it for 20+ years and only seen about 5 copies. Two went cheap through Discogs which probably kept the price down. It's rarer than his Ramsel releases. It got a few plays on the scene when it came out on "The Northern Soul Of Vee Jay" CD. A catchy soulful track with a great sax break.

If the pressing plant that was dropped still retains the hardware, Father / Mother plates and stampers then they could press what they want when they want. Just 100 records would yield 10K-20K at todays prices. Edit: Same thoughts at the same time as above post by Chalky

Dave Pinches had one for sale yesterday

From sales history of "The Classic Example" 42nd Anniversary record on Discogs, the one Ady mentions on his thread. 14/10/22 - Comments: From the Anniversary Night With The Special Mark on The 'B' Side Run Out Which Denotes It Came From That Night.

How would he know what's been bootlegged ?

If they came from the same factory using the same labels and plates they'd look exactly as legit ones.

I think i read on here that a few titles were over pressed at the factory and started to sell on Ebay and Discogs, not sure which releases they were. Ady was aware of it and reported it. Edit : Found the thread, here it is.

Sold-Roy Hamilton - Reach Out For Me - RCA Philippines VG+-Sold Philippines only on 45, great copy that sounds bright and clear.
