Just reading the brilliant "There's That Beat!" magazine got me wondering how many Carnival Records were issued in the U.K. I have two, but were there more, or were there any that came close to release in the U.K. but didn't make it. Looking at the Matrix (& the tri centre) they look similar if not identical to a Philips / Fontana press. Reminds me of a U.K. Blue Stax or Red Atlantic, if you know what I mean I bought these at the same time, from a second hand shop they were both together in a pile of records. I know the numbers don't help, because they don't follow the U.S.A. numbering system and being; CAR 100, CAR 101 doesn't offer any clue's Manship has 2 copies of CAR 101 https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/58418/MANHATTANS https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/133958/MANHATTANS Described as extremely scarce, SURELY the label didn't stop after just 2 issues. To get the "Carnival Records" Logo on a U.K. RECORD. Something that not very many U.S.A. companies achieved in the sixties. Normally Stateside, London, Fontana etc would have been used. It just struck me as unusual for an American Label to be used in U.K. format and then shelved when most others were issued in the U.K. on Labels like Sue or the others I've already mentioned

Hi I have had these in the collection for years, both are originals, but both are different designs. Does anyone know If the corresponding DEMO & Stock Copy exists for both designs, as I haven't seen them, just curious. It's one of my favourite records.

ALDORA BRITTON - DO IT WITH SOUL I Close my eyes and I'm back in time

BOBBY WELLS - BE'S THAT WAY SOMETIMES & LET'S COPP A GROOVE They just take me back when ...... I Can remember the first time I heard these I still like them ......... Brilliant

THE INCREDIBLES The first time around I only ever played THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO SAY - ANOTHER DIRTY DEAL And then I discovered all the other fine records that they made Courtesy of The HEART & SOUL Album Now got most of them on 45 Audio Arts They were Indeed INCREDIBLE

THE WOODEN NICKELS - NOBODY BUT YOU Brilliant

On a more serious note does anyone know If the film from SWONS exists in it's uninterupted state. Be nice to see without the screen spinning wildly. Reason being, a lot of those featured are no longer with us.

Special effects gone mad - Even down to the clothes changing colour.

Hi John I Bought mine in the 70's - White DEMO - Haven't seen another since. I don't know If my memory serves me right here, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that this record is also collected by another music genre & collectors thus harder to get one. If you find one grab it, I'd never part with mine - It's a Brilliant Record Hope you find one, However, The Price might not reflect just how rare It is. Manship's Guide 3rd Edition has It at £50

I know I've put this on before, but It's that good Marvin Gaye - Take This Heart of Mine (1966)

It certainly does, must be Rare that mate, never seen one. There's some interesting french releases, Manship's Auctioned one or two recently.

That copy looks like an E.P. what's on the other side? https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/52246/FOUR+TOPS

Hi Bazza I've just added a little more Info on the original POST since you replied.

Hi Bazza This is an Original it is on Vinyl and has the "Nashville Matrix" STAMPED in the Deadwax on both sides. The Deadwax on mine is Scratched 3125 - 1 STAMPED "Nashville Matrix" Scratched 95 I hope this helps The Stamped Nashville Matrix confirms an original

Hi Dante Sorry you've got to wait mate, but the good news is you're not going to be disappointed.

Hi I'm not sure which bandwidth you're on, but it might be that you have to pause the clip before playing - let the grey bar increase for a while - and then press play.

Hi Dave My copy arrived this morning, quality throughout. A magazine to be proud of. Well done to all at "There's That Beat!"

It also came out on a thicker, heavier Vinyl, also Original

Thanks for Posting these -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brilliant dancers, here they are in 1977 with the Jacksons - I wonder how old they were in 1977?

I would love to have seen these, live. Arthur conley on that "T" Shaped stage, he used just about every inch. Pleased you liked them.

Like I say, I hope you find one. All the Best

To the best of my knowledge the copy I have, on Styrene, Green Label with the Scratched in ZTSC Matrix is the Original first Issue.

My copy on Yellow/Red is unplayable. I used to play the Green copy out and about in the seventies. Nobody ever said it was different in any way to listen to. They certainly Danced to it, anyway, which was the main objective at the time. "Shop At Tesco's" used to get shouted when it was played. As far as I'm aware, It was just re-issued on a later number and James Lewis had by that time become the Named lead - Just Like Diana Ross & the Supremes etc.
