    JM reckoned Gary Haines "Keep on going", saying that only the lack of a matrix stamp on the boot gave it away...

    The red label of the Invitations "What's wrong" and the orange Soultown Dean Parrish "Tell her" were early as well...1969 IIRC...

    LOVING THIS - already hammering it on the radio and at Soulfusion etc...well done guys, tip top tuneage!
  4. Jerry Hipkiss
    Oh well - early doors to the pub tonight, got to be home for that!
  5. Jerry Hipkiss
    Thanks Pete!

    Found it...I think...it's actually Bernard "Pretty" Purdie from the LP "Soul Drums" !
  7. Jerry Hipkiss
    Not that one :-)...the cover-up with bits of "Psychedelic Soul" cut in...
  8. Jerry Hipkiss
    Help with a quick one please guys, I can't remember the original title of the "Earl Wright" Wigan instr...sure it was Jesse Belvin and discussed some while back but a search doesn't reveal anything...over to you...
  9. Jerry Hipkiss
    Only got the one copy sorry!...her name was Caroline Scott BTW, she did a nice jazz/funky thing with a local guy a year or two back
  10. Jerry Hipkiss
    Yes...me occasionally :-)
  11. Jerry Hipkiss
    Polly gave me a 7" copy of this at the time...IIRC her name was Caroline...and Dennis Lee is still around at local do's here in Glos, still the same as ever, just with less hair :-)

    Always get so sad when I think about the loss of a beautiful, great singer...can I just mention "Under your spell" for the dancers and "Ain't you had enough love" for the steppers...

    I could live with that, it's always been that way with new spins, especially in the days when you HAD to travel to hear the darn thing, but it's the repetition of classics in the same night that gets my goat, as has been said there are literally thousands of tunes to go for, so if you're doing a guest spot and someone's played your cherished big ticket tune, leave it, dig a little deeper. I promise we won't think any less of you!

    IIRC the recording on the Kent LP reissue in the late 80's wasn't bad - don't know if some basic EQ'ing was done at the time? But yes, the original is one of those where ii have to drop the bass levels whenever I play it out anywhere!

    True Des, but most of them have many "trophy pieces" - a little more listening would help...however there are several people who, if you look, and who freely admit, spend at least the hour before their spot , if not most of the night, watching floor reactions and listening carefully - Sean Chapman and Nige Brown to name but two...and yes, I've been caught out as well, nipping out for a fag break before my spot and then repeating a tune. So I'm blaming it on the smoking ban!
  16. Jerry Hipkiss
    Pat James - bargain Des! (It's the instrumental to Voices - Fall in love again on Penny BTW)
  17. Jerry Hipkiss
    Same thing happened to me at a niter recently - a well known DJ played three tunes which had been played in the previous hour...I mentioned it to the promoter and he was already aware, in fact told me that one of the other jocks had administered said offender a right bo**ocking
  18. Jerry Hipkiss
    Yes, good guy, he always used to personally deliver his new tracks to me when I was playing mountains of this stuff at Gas in Cheltenham in the 90's...and Barry knows where most of my imports came from...:-)
  19. Jerry Hipkiss
    Point is kegsy, AFAIK the demand wasn't there in 68, unless someone was really ahead of the game - the revival/reissue craze didn't really kick in until 1969...oh well, as Pete S says, that's what makes collecting interesting!
  20. Jerry Hipkiss
    Sorry Mike...THE Jerry Jeff Walker single!
  21. Jerry Hipkiss
    Just out of interest, I was (as you do) looking at my Mojo copy of "I'm gonna run away from you" and noticed that in the runout it has a "red Atlantic" number - 584200 - scratched through (same goes for the Irish Polydor issue talked about a while back). Now as we know the reissue was in the first half of 1971, due to demand, but 584200 equates to the first half of 1968, before it was in demand, and was allocated to a Jerry jeff Walker single anyway. Any ideas?
  22. Jerry Hipkiss
    Played it on the radio the last two days, again, had people asking about it...
  23. Jerry Hipkiss
    ...but I don't carry "The Snake" in my play box!
  24. Jerry Hipkiss
    Just shows the longevity (big word!!) of some of the top tunes at the time! Still recall the excitement when Clarky finally got a dub (from Mr. Anderson?) to play at Yate, and we must be talking the second half of '78 there!
  25. Jerry Hipkiss
    I'll just have to stick with the import - or play my UK cover by The Action... BTW Julian, was flipping through a 1971 Blues and Soul last night, containing a Letter to the Ed from yourself...trouble is I can't remember what it was about now!
