Just had a message from retailer/distributor Detour Records. Just 17 left of 300.

Sandy Barber 'I Think I'll Do Some Stepping (On My Own) (Opolopo Rework)' Single sided 10" promo from BBE Music. Ex condition . Understand only 10 done , though some speculation it might have been 15 ! No other vinyl release. Taking offers . Pms please

Having read about the Last Bastion release, Dave Knight (from York & record dealer /dj in 7ts & 8ts) has just sent me this article he wrote for 'Voices from the Shadows' back in the day

Still looking....

Looking for one of these in good enough condition for radio show plays. Pms please- all will be answered.

Hi Dave , yes on the face of it doesn't make much sense why it wasn't a vinyl release previously and /or to co incide with Lou's UK etc tour. Perhaps down to Severn Records being a label that successfully focuses on cd releases for their artistes rather than vinyl Lps & 45s ? Severn Records btw were great to deal with so Last Bastion Records could exclusively licence and in addition to the longer version (which appeared on the 2005 cd) which is the 45 B side , provided the previously unreleased in any format , shorter A side .

Looking for this cheapee- pms please . All will be answered . Thanks

Thanks Gary - a helpful insight . In your metrics are the +50 demos ?

From a buyers stand point I have no quarms about purchasing via a secure pre release order as it quarantees me a Ltd release purchase I particularly wanted at original retail cost , rather than highly inflated prices, driven by demand, from sellers/scalpers once sold out. In an ideal world. I'd love to be able to walk into a local vinyl record shop and instantly buy what I want , when I want. I can only dream....

Russ , all very disheartening to read as the last thing myself (and retailer/distributor Detour Records) want are any dissatisfied customers. The shipping date is visible before committing to pre ordering. Can you please pm me with your order details and I'm gladly arrange cancellation and a prompt refund for you from Detour Records. The vinyl record supply chain issues are now becoming well known & have been documented - I have referred to them on The Last Bastion website http://shop.detourrecords.co.uk/epages/es785745.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es785745/Categories/Last_Bastion_Records/Latest_News For the Lou Pride 45 , the manufacturing plant order was placed many months ago and we had an October availability date which then slipped and slipped ... February 2020 looks like being the worst case scenario and Detour Records and myself would rather under promise hence the February date advertised. As to the 'Safari ' browser issue with the Detour Records sales site , not sure what the issue is as all payments are secure via PayPal. Can you please contact Dizzy @ Detour so he can fully understand the issue and resolve.

Just had a message from distributors, Detour Records. Pre orders flying out. Only 43 of the 300 left. If you want one - be quick, no repress.

From Richard , Kev, Ginger & Sean "A tremendous reworking by Lou of his huge Northern Soul anthem, discovered by John Anderson at Soul Bowl, and made big by the DJs at the Cleethorpes Pier All-Nighter back in 1975" Richard Searling (B E M, Queens Honours List, 2019) "Lou soulfully rides the groove as if he’s Isaac Hayes auditioning for Blood, Sweat & Tears....Willie Henderson’s All Stars weaved their magic with Lou and discovered a whole new set of fans. A new classic!" Kev Roberts (Wigan Casino/Event Promoter/Radio personality) "The perfect record for a packed dance floor. From deep in the heart of Texas, one of the greats, still is and for ever" Ray 'Ginger' Taylor (The World's no.1 Northern Soul DJ) “The 2004 recording packs just as much as the original 1970 release with a added funkier edge and clarity just right for today's dance scene in both northern and modern rooms and without doubt will become a favourite spin at all venues. This tune will guarantee a dance floor avalanche and then continues to whip the crowd up into a frenzy on the dance floor!” Sean Chapman (Northern Soul & Mod DJ and Record dealer - Chapman Records)

Thanks Ken . A bit more about the label here and there's already two more releases scheduled for release in 2022 and currently with the manufacturing plant. http://shop.detourrecords.co.uk/epages/es785745.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es785745/Categories/Last_Bastion_Records
