It was March 1969 I believe the song Sorrow on Rare Earth Records RS 506, RS 505 being Blues Helping by Dave Edmund's Love Sculpture - so I'm not sure who they actually signed first.

I think the best blind buy for me goes to my sister who at 10 year of age in the late 70s bought for me a set of 12 records from a school sale. They came in a brown bag and had no covers and contained the following (you'll see a mixed set): Ann Sidney - The Boy In The Woolly Sweater (His Master's Voice - POP 1411) Bee Gees - I've Gotta Get a Message to You (Polydor- 56273) Calvin Arnold - Funky Way / Snatchin' Back (MGM - 1378) The Chartbuster - Why (Doncha be My Girl (London HLU 9934) The Exception - Gaberdine Saturday Night Street Walker (CBS 2830) Garnet Mimms - As Long As I Have You (United Artists - UP1186) The Gods - come on down to my boat baby (Polydor 56168) Heinz - You Were There (Decca - F.11831) The Invitations, - What's Wrong With Me Baby? (Stateside - SS 478) Kenny Lynch - what am I to You ( HMV POP 1321) The McKinleys, - Give Him My Love (EMI Columbia - DB 7583) The Paramounts, - I'm The One Who Loves You (Parlophone - R 5155) Nearly all were Demonstration Records, and the reason I can list them easily is I still have them. Thanks Sis.

YES 1970 The Day Will Come Between Sunday And Monday / My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me) TMG(I) 739 1970

I'm getting sound.

thanks, as a newcomer to the scene I was unfamiliar with some you played on Friday, but thoroughly enjoyed them. I have now enjoyed the last few days listening to them again.

as part of the 12 singles (see previous post) was also one man in my life - Lynn Holland on polydor 56166 and Funky Way - Calvin Arnold on pink MGM Demo (this was the record I was initially looking for but couldn't remember where I had put it. Another record among that set was by a group called the Gods - come on down to my boat Baby which I understand is collectable by Uriah Heap fans etc. so it was a mixed bag.

yes with a large white A and not for sale above UP1186

thank you for that

me, but wouldn't say dumped ,they were placed up there with 300+ other records and left up there until we got some decks again, I suppose the reason collectors thankfully keep finding these records are because of people like me (not knowing what we've got) - they were originally bought from a school jumble sale, along with ten other records, in 1979 for 50p for the lot. Obviously I have now come round to my right mind and I am sorting out the collection.

now getting really pleased also in box: The Invitations "What's Wrong With Me Baby" Stateside Demo SS478 not been able to play any of them yet so can't comment on quality - just amazed they have been up there for 20 years almost. Any ideas of value?

Found an old box of 7" up in attic. Among them Garnet Mimms "As long as I have you" United Artists 1967 Demo (not for sale) - now how could I forget I owned that.

I have a copy of ' A Strange Arrangement' and if that is a good example oh his music I'm not sure Mayer Hawthorne will be what Northern Soulies will listen to in twenty years time, but like with the Frank Popp Ensemble I could be very wrong.
