Pls, I’ll pm you mate... m

Strange I thought I’d replied to everybody last time out, apologies rob, let me contact you on pm...

Hi Marvin, I started this thread a few years back, as you can see your fathers label was also discussed on another soul related forum... We are obviously fans of the music, and as you can guess facts about smaller labels get lost over time, what more can you tell us about your father and your families involvement in the music business? Malcolm

Hi all, interested to see what’s out there, anybody got good Aussie 45s ? Soul, Northern, Mod, jazz... always interested in Festival white test press, any W&G, Red Bitd, polydor ex Bobby Paris, Astor / Pye related, I have allot already so just state what it is.... prefer demos always, but depends if it’s Rare, any good Lp’s or Eps.. also orig sleeves if you have something get in touch cheers malc

Well blow me... always thought, and was told it was unissued,.. cheers for that :-)

Yep, an alt cut she did that never came out, worth owning both of them... :/)

Paul, are you aware there is an unissued version of this also? By Rene Gayer... just as good...and should cost allot less...

Meat beat manifesto - Radio Babylon / orig 12 with circular pic of them on front, blk outside Zsa Zsa la Boum - something scary / Kaos records Elkin & Nelson - jibero / CBS spanish Don Carlos - Alone / Calipso (Italian import) Pachanga boys - Time / hippie dance if you have anything else along theses lines, pls get in touch Mal :-)

Might mention this contains all their ‘Maxx’ Recordings... all very worthy...

Thought the La Louisiana sleeves are pretty rare... m

Well with the overwhelming reply to my question, I decided to say no to this acetate.... :-) next....

.

Sure, billy I’ll post it up.... on another note I’m currently teaching photography to a couple teenagers, I set briefs every week, the same ones I recived back at Bournville art college in the late 8ts, might post some of their work here, maybe folk can add some captions or text... they are all starting off so technically their work will reflect that, but their ideas are great... mal

I know Robb, you correct me every time, thing is my spelling is dreadful, and i mean bad and I’ve never got either 45 to hand... m

Just seen your reply, wow that’s great praise, thank you

Cat with a purpose :-)

Great sixties car, a Mercury

Thought I’d add a few here is Granada with the Sierra Nevada in the background, and the Alhambra at it’s best :-)

Vonda Maria - Town Sound Studios Acetate What do folk think of this item? Original? Anybody Got any other Acetates from this studio, know immediately it’s dodgy, would this studio of dealt with Phil la of Soul releases? Any help greatfully received, and before you ask the American dealer isn’t really telling me anything, says it came in from a buyer for them, and they believe it’s orig sixties Acetate, but can’t offer anything else Which is why I’m asking you lot, cause I’m umming and arrring mal

Think it’s fair to say that is 1000% a bootleg... Its a common 45, goes for 200/250 to 300 these days I think, that said it’s in vinyl and styrene, and the styrene ones are hard to get in good condition, one will come up...

And here I believe is the later reissue by the company.... they do share the same release number, but I’ve seen that done before, I’ve got a 7ts released Liz Lands - midnight Johnny which shares the same Cat no, but deffo released a second time by Motown.

Grabbed of my I phone, but this is my orig copy

I think, as with allot of Abet 45’s the company reissued this in the early seventies, the first press, is the brown / yellow grey label design, the later ones are those green / yellow / black labels... othef than that I guess it may have received a recent boot, I don’t know for sure, but you want the vinyl / yellow / grey label.. I will post a scan

Love it, a top 20, which is easy cause this lot are the first twenty in a ‘my favorites’ Playlist on my phone, and that goes everywhere with me :-) One thing, I have sold June Jackson, which I obviously really regret now, I knew I would :-( Troy Dodds - Try my love June Jackson - Your Welcome Jack Montgomery - Don’t turn your back on me... George Smith / I’ve had it Lee Bates - why don’t you write Marva Josie - don't The Tears - Good luck my love The Marvellows / somethings burning Carl Carlton - I can feel it Mighty marvellows - talking bout you baby Gene toons - what more do you want etta James - Can’t shake it Ruby Andrews - got a bone to pick Sage - I’m alive Ike Perkins - when the bottom falls out Margie Joseph - one more chance james Reese & progressions / the joker (where did you came from) Gladys Knight / pips - what good am I without you Keni Lewis - Ain’t gonna make it easy Millie Jackson - if loving you is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

That’s Cracking that is Derek, I’ll reply in full when I come up for air! Great link, Thank you :-) m
