Also came out on Swedish TM: FOUR TOPS TAMLA MOTOWN 91154 BARBARA'S BOY / LOOK OUT YOUR WINDOW SWEDISH + PC

NO NO NO! They're MINE, ALL MINE I TELL YOU!

I think the point here was that some "punters" who arrived fairly late decided to leave and had their door tax refunded. They probably won't come back. I think they came following the Orsett do last week and were expecting perhaps more of the same, which they weren't going to get at Capones. But a lack of atmosphere due to an empty floor for the best part of half an hour made up their minds for them. Shame really as they might have made more of an effort if the music had been slightly different and been potential new Northern blood.

Well that was the idea behind playing them and to hear how they sounded out good and loud. Don't think any of them are that easy to come by and hadn't noticed them listed before. Nice to meet you by the way!

Agreed Rob. I slipped a couple of recent purchases into the middle of my first set at Capone's on Saturday, but went back to tried and trusted to set the floor up for our guest DJ. I played these, more in a 70s mode than normal: Rufus and Roots - Caught up - T-Jaye empty floor Step by Step - I always wanted to be in the band - Sp Zafiro - no US 45 unless anyone knows better - empty floor, but one guy came and asked what it was The New Group - Love can't be modernised - Gemini 2 dancers! Nice to be able to play them out though. Cheers Paul

Hi Sebastian The Low Rider book by Ruben Molina suggests that the flip was the Latino music fan's fave side. Otherwise I think you're spot on. Paul

Someone on Ebay is selling a lot of 4 copies!

No that was 69 as well.

Hiya Vic Can't raise me is an old SITC play of mine, crackin' tune. Is it stilll a cheap un? Paul

And a nice UK demo

How about a nice scan of the Canadian label

Scan

The Four Buddies probably comes from the fact that the Hamito Semitica label mentions "Four Buddies"

Been playing this on Soulville a bit lately. Always attracts attention.

Mylar bags have been used by comic collectors for many years - ask Dick Domar!

Watch it Stubbsy!

Absolutely Ady, but they were 50s and very early 60s weren't they?

In the 60s and 70s UK labels without their own company sleeves used wavy top white sleeves, which later in the 70s changed to white straight topped.

Sorry to let you down but have been looking after my father who is quite ill. Will try to find it tonight - promise! Paul
