It did?

My advice is pay £5 for a repress of the Delroy Wilson version. I've also got a Cornell Campbell version which is stunning, same backing track. Think mine is an original not a repress, but it's hard to tell. Here's a link to a recording of it. Pic shows a reissue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4R7VtZflI0

Separate topic about that one running. None of us have a clue. I'm wondering if it was a deliberate wind up.

No the difference is that these aren't alternate takes. Those would have come earlier in the recording process.

They are proper metal acetates, yes. They'd have done a handful to go to the most important outlets, a kind of emergency pre release copy, I would have thought have a dozen tops, but this was just temporary until the vinyl demo was pressed. They're not like alternate studio cuts or anything exciting.

No I don't think you are, the Pye group acetates are actually advance demos pressed just before they could get the vinyl demos done and feature identical material to that which was released, therefore I've never rated them as being particularly collectable myself. They have a generic Pye label and then handwritten details as to which subsidiary it will be issued on.

they were indeed

In that instance it would be way too late to have any connection with Ready Steady Go but I sold a couple of acetates last year which were obtained from the lead dancer on RSG and they contained issued and unissued material - I think the groups were Twice As Much and the Dave Clark 5 - anyway these were Emidiscs with RSG referenced on the label.

Stafford tune. Was down to £15 at one point.

One of Ian Levine's latest spins. Got one when he told me about it a few months back. Not sure if I like it that much though, sounded better on the radio.

Well done Macca. Fascinating to hear that demo.

Don't know - I had one the other way round - Jackie Trent's Pye recording You Baby on an Emidisc acetate*, not a Pye acetate * a real one I mean

I sold one about 5 years ago. Came from a member on here. Sold it for £400 I think.

Not the Dave Clark 5?

But there isn't. It's a track everyone's got, it's not even a demo - I'd much sooner have the demo than that acetate.

You're thinking of the Ferro factory you tw*t

No he never did mate, he lives in Shatterford which is the other side of Kinver. About 12 miles away from here. Roy Wood lived at Himley but I don't think he does now.

Don't ask me, stacks of these Pye group acetates come up on Ebay regularly.
