Happy Birthday Peter, have a fabulous day mate

this is a good one, Revenge is sweet! it's not a Night of Satisfaction!!! lol

Hi folks, anybody got the Expansion release of this one? I have the LP, but I hear the Expansion release is really good sound on it. Chas ‎– For Your Love / Expansion Also looking for the 7inch release of Jean Carn - Sweet And Wonderful on TSOP, I can see the copy in the states via Discogs, prefer to buy from the Uk if I can. Will pay £20 for either above, must be nice clean copies, label and play. Thankns in advance Malc

It was a Shifty discovery, it's an untitled acetate, but know as either ‘If I Ever Love Anyone It's You' or more commonly 'It's You'... was played at a really great time, stuff like Mayfield Singers was getting played, my favorite time on the soul scene in the late 9ts...

Clara Hardy And The Magictones is the first one, B4 Jean carter, now we are talkin these are great to watch, thanks for posting

I thought the Second is Butch's Jean Carter - I Wanna Know cover up, so I assume this is Butch Djing...

Thanks Mike, the old man has just got a new hearing aid, but we still couldnt talk over that!

Have changed my alert preferences, but they are still coming... this is what Im getting again and again

Not on the the Grapevine Lp, so I guess its like an EMI disc type thing, they (BECK STUDIOS) were just another outfit that cut to order... cool disc though...

yep, I have had 74 so far, but all the same one, Joe Simon - No Sad songs.... issue is they are coming up on my phone, and I cant speak to anybody as I'm getting repeated notifiction bells... Can you make it stop Mike? Malc

Ok, I knew I'd read it somewhere, this is on a current John Manship auction, for a Tony Hester acetate, which mentions Beck Amplification, as to whether its one of the acetates Poke asked to be cut, possibly? I can't see a Northants studio doing too many Soul acetates, I guess we need to confirm if August & Dean came out on Grapevine LP, or was scheduled to do so...I'll check mine just now... ----- REWRITE! After talking to Blair Hayden "Poke" as he is much better known, when he worked for Soul Bowl in the 70's, one of his tasks was to cut necessary promo acetates he went to BECK STUDIOS to see Derek Tompkins. This acetate is NOT a acetate he had cut for the Grapevine LP but an acetate John Anderson brought back from Richard Popcorn Wylie when the deal was struck for the rights to release his work through Grapevine. So "Poke" feels this listing is an authentic original Richard Popcorn Wylie 1965 7" acetate John Anderson of Soul Bowl was compiling for the Grapevine first album release. And what a album to launch at the zenith of Northern Soul movement. The 20 track Various Artist – Talk Of The Grapevine - including a mindboggling 7 previously unknown and unreleased from the vaults of the genius partnership. An album underling the lengths John went to, to unearth exceptional Northern Soul that was to treat Wigan Casino faithful to just the finest Northern Soul tracks. Where as the Betty Boo 7" acetates were cut at BECK in Kettering with Red labelling. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/tony-hestor-spaceland-blank-blank-acetate-7.html

Need to check another recent thread, but isnt this the lot 'Poke' used for acetates for the Grapevine label, the 7ts one. I'll check...

I've been watching 'Masters of the Air' on Netflix, I'm hooked, but still not convinced. CGI'd beyond belief, as you would expect, there is a distinct lack of Flying Fortresses in the world. Other than that, the language is hard to pick, and that’s a mix between what they are saying and how the actors are saying it, and the actual quality of the sound. For example, a crew out under the wing very early morning, well they didn’t look cold to me, and the sound was just a single level, everybody heard each other no problem, you would be shouting at each other on a runway, and noise would likely drop off quickly, didn’t seem real to me. The accents, I don't know, some of the dialogue just goes over my head, as if they are mumbling their words, I guess they would of sounded like they were from outer space to Brits, but it's still...MMmmmmrrrr.. As for the plot, yep, it's all there in the history books, the wings expolits over Germany and Europe, but did US servicemen fight with British crews in the pub, must have happened I guess, but given they were all fighting the Germans, it seemed a bit forced. As for any reference to any other nationallities involved in WW2, other than the enemy, and bit part down the pub for some unlkely RAF blokes, the US 100th Bomber group seemed to have done everything in WW2! All in all, not as good as it's predecessors, 'Band of Brothers' 'Pacific' and 'Private Ryan', this series althoiught good, lacks a realness, maybe thats the CGI in it, but I'm now glued to weekly Friday night episodes... Might go see 'The Zone of Interest' at the Cinema, see what thats like.

Thats madness on Danny White pink demo, especially when Charles Spurling made £200...

Cheers Tim, as I said, I did my best on the dates, it aint easy!! lol. So we get the below with that amendment on the date for 'That girl' (local green release). So going by our dates, it is just over a year from the local 'Porgy' release of 'That's My Girl' to Chess picking it up and getting it out on demo... Intersting point on the verve release Neil, we havent seen an issue have we? seems given Porgy moved on with the song, it's likely Verve halted at the demo stage.. but like to know if it did ever get issued... I've also added the flip on the Tribune release. Finally, anybody out there know more about the 'Congratulations' acetate? I might ask Tim Brown about 'Keep A Hold on Me' as surely from the same source...? ------ Monarchs Of Winston 1962 - Monarchs Of Winston-Salem - Army of Love / Do the anything / Tribune (T-1002) Porgy & The Monarchs 1963 (July)- Stay / Somebody Said (I'd Cry Someday) (Mala 462) 1966 (May) - That Girl / Is It for Real Baby (Musicor MU 1179) 1966 (Dec) - My Heart Cries for You / Think Twice Before You Walk Away (Musicor MU 1221) 1968 (May) - Love Chain / Magic Music Makes (Verve VK 10197) 1968 (July) - That's My Girl / (That) Boy and Girl (Verve VK 10609) 1968 (Oct)- That's My Girl / The Girl and The Boy (Sylves 123) Local NY Deep Green Release 1969 (Nov) - That's My Girl / The Girl and The Boy (Sylves 123) Chess distributed W-Demo 1969 (Dec) - That's My Girl / The Girl and The Boy (Sylves 123) Chess Distributed Light Green Iabel 1975 - My Heart Cries for You / Think Twice Before You Walk Away (Musicor MU 1221) Bootleg Blue & Yellow label variation marked as demos 1975 (Oct) - My Heart Cries for You / Think Twice Before You Walk Away (Musicor MU 1221) Reissued & Mis-pressed by Musicor with Hey Girl (You're A Dream I've Always knew) instead of ‘Think Twice’.

Just wondered, anybody have a scan, or confirm whether the 'Congratulations' Bell Sound Acetate was just a 7 inch, with congratulations written on it? or was it off a 12 inch with other tracks? I say that because I remember a 7 inch scan, but the pic on this YT clip has a 12 inch, could just be a picture of cousre..

This happened to me and Russ Gilbert (Amsterdam Russ) on here. In that he has an unreleased acetate of a 'Duke Turner' track, which I've got on a carver, it's on YT but not in its entirety, but my carver is. He and I spoke about this at great length, and he's cool, but I cannot for the life of me remember where I got it, I just thought it was another Duke Turner & Chi Towns on Spinning Top records... it's a 'carver with Turner on one side and Audrey Matthews - I Have no choice on the back, which probably dates it as that was a name that changed isnt it. So it happens assuming of course, it is a one off... who knows..
