I posted some time ago a load of terms and definitions here's the acetate and test press bits..... Acetate/Lacquer Is usually a reference cut that is made on ultra high-grade methyl cellulose sprayed onto thick aluminium discs. Reference acetates are primarily to make certain the record will sound somewhat like the tape. Often they are also made to allow a club or radio disc-jockey to play the music on turntables before it has been pressed as a normal record. Acetate is a misnomer. It is actually a Lacquer, but since so many people call these acetates, both will be used here. Test pressing A test pressing is sent back to the cutting engineer, producer and sometimes the performer, to confirm that the pressings will sound as intended. Most TP's are really just early pressings, frequently without artwork of any kind, and they are serviced to whoever as early promo's. In many cases this was done to rush the record out to radio stations to try and get immediate airplay before the complete label could be finished.

Good news about the show Mark. Just set Sky up with Starpiont, took less than a minute. To save you going looking... Setting Up... 1. Press Services 2. Press System Setup 3. Select Add Channels 4.

Scroll to Starpoint Radio, press YELLOW, then press SELECT Listening 1. Select Services 2. Select Other Channels 3. Select Starpoint

Moloko - Familiar Feelings

I would have thought Irene and the Scotts was pretty easy to get, I see it in boxes often enough for around £30.

until being released on the Kent cd it only existed on a studio acetate which was spun by Clarkie then later Guy.

Seen it before but it is a tough one. Not sure if I listed one for Andy a few months ago

Find it hard to come up with just one name. There are many who have made a contribution to the scene, some more so than others, some without the recognition they deserve but each and everyone has played their part in making this scene what it is.

I personally don't think they are the same Boba. "Gluck" is David Gluck who along with Darrow were the Daruck Production team. Anyone got a decent readable scan of Strange Little Girl?

no

I was told it was and sure who told me said it was unissued empire state.

is it really the Just Brothers (Go on and laugh)

The original is on Lupine

you can get this one on amazon.... https://www.amazon.com/Ric-Tic-Relics-Detro...s/dp/B000QRFDHC

They are English Trev, from Carlisle I think. They joined with some from the Ramrods and went on to become Spooky Tooth

always thought 150 quid tops....

I've listened 4 times as of yet not to mention the 100's of times when I had the record and never once thought it her. The slower/faster I play it the more convinced I am it ain't her.

Doubt it very much IMHO. Be very surprised it it was.

Tis great record Fight For Your Girl. Used to be a tapper swappers fave at one time years ago. Someone did tell me who King William was or who they thought it was but right now I can't remember what they said

150ish, more for an issue one on Gemm at 300 odd dollars.

Thanks to good mate of mine Gilly had a chat with Hadley Murrell. He tells me he wasn't in the group, thats an urban myth. Along with the group front man James Mitchell he co-wrote the songs, produced the recordings and was onwer of Wind Hit. James Mitchell did all the vocal arrangements and Hadley helped the band, who were the LBJ's form San Francisco, with the musical arrangements. James and the other three members (still don't know who they are ) were all airmen from the Luke airforce base in Arizona and to the best of his knowledge they are all with the big record producer in the sky! He also says you have to go out and buy his cd "The Soul Side Of The Street" that contains a number of records he produced on The Servicemen, Eddie and Ernie and other artists. Hadley says also be on the look out for some unreleased Servicemen recordings being issued in the next few months or so.

it's all great listening Boba, very interesting to hear what they have to tell. Forgot all about the Sinceres going on to become Bloodstone! Many thanks.

Grunchions...little green and orange people the drugs must have been good in them days

Look forward to listening Boba. Just listening to the Conservatives interview now. Keep 'em coming, all good listening!!

You must have been taking it steady then Ady

twice uploaded and only second or so plays...happened other day with a track too, took 3 or 4 goes before it worked. If at first you don't succeed......
