Anoraks Corner

No deadwax machine stamp on the US WD copies...which are styrene with K-10992-1 scratched in the a.side and K-10993-2 in the b.side. (The 'A' is more pink than red if you are curious?!)

...and whilst I have the time sat here waiting for the trains to start up again (typhoon going over Tokyo as I type this!), heeeeeeere's Bobby:

There are a couple of websites listing out all the Canadian Quality, Reo, Spartan etc titles...got the links somewhere...must go and look again!

Original with gold print and Nashville Matrix stamp

For reference - not for sale

Nice

For reference only:

...I should also add that I that Helen Shapiro track...always have done...but wouldn't really want to hear it at a Rare Soul venue, mind!

I have a picture/info sheet for his 'Happiest day of my life' 45 which has a brief biog on him...defo the same guy on checking out the links.

If anyone else is after a copy, there is one on my site for £35 (demo). >>> LOOK HERE <<<

Don't get me wrong...not for brilliance...just the fact that it is also a big string section production and along with the Total Eclipse it kinda worked. Besides, there was nothing on TV at the time!

A wise move...after hunting around the bushes and side streets close by to where they were lifted. A no questions meet up and a small 'reward' may flush them out?

This one, maybe (scan is of the flipside)...being the local Detroit copy: (Top one is West Coast; Mala national dist and DoReDe is the instrumental to catch on popularity of vocal?)

I've had both West Coast styrene and East Coast vinyl white demos...no problems with either.

Wouldn't surprise me at all grant, but GuyH reckoned not. The vocal is sooooooo that era though!! He also added that it was IanD aka Frank's biggest spin for a while, but that the cover up name he had for it was woefully 'incorrect' in that it didn't match the sound...any takers for guessing what it was?!

Well, if anyone fancies it, I have a mint 45 of the rare Alston stock copy which features both those superb tracks on it (demos just have KIU both sides)...mint...£150 + P&P. >>> HERE <<<

Was chewing the fat with Mr.Hennigan yesterday and a few instrumentalsreached the decks during the session...including Total Eclipse - Sixo'clock and Sam Ambrose - they'll be coming. Both from certain eras and both popular for various reasons he told me.The former is a huge production pop-tastic mover that could've gracedany late 60's early 70's TV drama...Guy said it was the breaks in thetrack that made it and it needed a large venue (WC) to put it into fulleffect. WOuld it work today...possibly at Stoke (large venue)? I thenplayed him Jimmy Bowen's ' The golden eagle' and Peter HamiltonGeneration 'Hey girl' as they are in the same bag. The Sam Ambrose I'vealways had a soft spot for...especially the vocal side, which wasn'tfeatured back in the day, as instrumentals ruled the dancefloor at thatpoint. Oddly enough the vocal version (on the flip) sounds like itwould've fitted in perfectly during that era...was it not played at all? We both agreed that some instrumentals are simply good pieces of music,regardless of the musical genre, and if they had the beat then theywere fair game! I also confess to liking 'Condition red'.

RARE record and awesome...good price! Highly recommended uptempo male group Soul with cool organ work and harmonies!

Shades of Blue anyone? (£30 + P&P if anyone fancies a copy?!)

I dunno, squire...I used to travel up by train...can still recall some of the train times and sadder still I know packed away in storeage are some of the train tickets! I think you're right about it being a Friday night, Harpo, as I recall walking from the station to Adey Pierce's place in the morning...to tell him that that the last night news and to show him my Patti & Emblems Kapp WD that I had bought off the decks (thanks Russ!).
