OK so I have looked at them, the only difference in them in some were not distributed by Scepter, and that would have been the first press run for the Texas market. However Scepter distributed it pretty much straight away, so its contemporaneous, maybe a month later not like its a bootleg or a recent job.

I've not heard of a second issue, it was originally one of Huey Meaux's Jetstream records that Scepter distributed. That might be where the confusion is coming from. Who is saying its a second issue I can compare it to mine (orig) if you want?

Didn't think it was bootlegged?

There was never "earn your way onto the dance floor" anyway. First time at Wigan just went onto the floor whenever I wanted and near the front too…..all these urban myths

Excellent information, certainly fills in some gaps!

.

He told me the label scan he put on his list it was a wind up….

I am afraid not Baz. I thought Clarky had it but he told me he sold it to Japan and then told me it was a wind up….ATB Steve

RIP BB….

Discotays yes, they were the studio band as Scepter who also recorded an LP on Pricewise (v rare but not v good). Vocal version of Jerkin Around by The Diplomats, and available on Kent CD. In providing this info it is on condition that it doesn't join the repertoire of there Penkhull Ukelale band

Yes another copied error from Billboard I am afraid.

And thats the point Robb, if the Isleys had recorded that track and it had emerged on a Stargazed of Ace CD of unissued material I might be persuaded, but they didn't - and one of them has put out all of the unissued Isleys stuff. So it's down to journalistic error as far as I can tell. Matt I haven't contributed to any of the Wand discographies, so I am not asperged LOL and indeed they are confusing. This is because the company scheduled in releases before they pressed the records or even had the rights to them in some cases. Same is true with Scepter's discography which hosts some ghost releases too. And the discographers have just copied the mistakes across. No Just Brothers on Wand, this was pencilled in before Pete Garris had started his own label Garrison. Earl King's second release doesn't exist either. These were tracks recorded for an aborted Atlantic album…that Toussaint had worked on, but which he couldn't agree a price with Atlantic on. The first 45 didn't sell and Wand passed on the opportunity for the 2nd.

Not mine….what's troubling you? I might be able to help.

Looks like a Billboard cock up, which is not surprising as there were plenty as they rushed through all the new releases each week. No sign of the Isleys even recording the song either.

This is an interesting thread and I'd certainly like to learn more about the Miami Tropical label and what all of the missing numbers are…That Alberta Baker is a totally ameteur recording, it doesn't even sound like it was done in a studio! Fascinating.

This week's show an hour of new music and then an hour of 80s 70s 60s this week looking at Jerry Butler's Fountain Records..: https://www.mixcloud.com/steve-guarnori/soul-time-2032015/ Hour 1 2015 Kenya - My own skin (My own skin) Rhonda Thomas - Show me how to love you (Vinyl Daze) Mona Lizza - Be free (Work of art) James Fox Higgins feat Lionel Cole - That lady Samuel D Sanders - Make you mine (Nigel lows extended) Thomas & Taylor -Special (Soul mix) (You can't blame love) Choklate - Wide open (Reel people vocal mix) Cheryl Lee - Thankful (Soulful session…Thankful) Alonzo Reid - Your lovin is so good (Striving for perfection) Floyd Harvey Robinson - Another world Anthony S -There is a girl Philly Noveau featuring William De Vaughn - Slow down Sheldon Rhoden - Whats going on (From boy to man) Hour 2 80s 70s 60s Carl Hall - What about you Platinum Plus - Why must we part Maurine Bailey Taking my time with you Collectors Soul Fountain Records Jackie Ross - Who could be loving you (1101) Infinity - Keep it to yourself (1102) Jackie Ross - Showcase (1103) The Unifics - Dawn of a new day (101) Omni - Keys to the city Omni - Its so good to see you again Jerry Butler - All the way Jerry Butler - No fair (radio edit single version) Omni - When you stop to think Omni - Strong on you Omni - Let me run it Northern Soul 3 Big T & The Peacemakers - Tighten up tighter Claude Huey - Why would you blow it Chuck Jackson - Whats with this loneliness Lonnie & Curtis - Here to stay

LOL. Been on weekender DJ duty the last two weeks, Prestatyn and Eastbourne….so did pre recorded shows of oldies….didn't think anyone would want them uploaded….

Thank you will upload later.

Yes Tee but it doesn't really explain things…..

Here we go again, guesswork and speculation. Make it up as we go along…. Thomas Rouse was a DC promotor, it's widely accepted that Fairmount came first (Beverly had already had a record on Fairmount before this (She kissed me), Rouser came second, but there probably wasn't a great time difference between the two. I'd say less than a year. Whether the Rouser issue was licensed or not - we don't know and maybe someone should ask Frankie Beverly before his memory goes. There may well be a logical explanation for a local or second issue on Rouser in DC. As for the El Corols Rouser release being a bootleg - that record was about a year later than "Because of my heart" (Jan 67 for Frankie Beverly). Tiny Records was the label of one of the band members Tiny Barge, again there may have been an agreement for Rouser too also press it up. My tuppence worth, we just don't know for sure (yet!) so lets not make it up guys (and gals).

No Gareth, disappointing.

Really? I'd rather listen to R4 or R5 than listen to these "timeless classics" for another time...

Its a different song Gareth. Not the same as the TSOP one at all. Steve
