That's great - thanks Des

Been sorting through old tapes and have been meaning to ask this before. I had an acetate years ago and put it on a tape as a last track. Unfortunately, the tape ran out half way through. On the listing I wrote "True True Lover" / "Robert Bateman" , although I'm sure that was a "Cover Up" title. I'm sure the acetate is out there somewhere, circa 1980/81. I hope this rings a bell with someone, and they can give me any details I've posted a clip from my tape (Sorry its only half there.) Uncredited - True True Lover - Cheers Mick

Hello I'm after a copy of ... Dana Valery - Having You Around ( 44389 ) - Red Columbia Cheers Mick

Ady Did the label look like any other variation of Bunky that we are familiar with, or was it something different to the usual designs? Cheers Mick

As a matter of interest, has anyone ever seen an Issue of 44389 (Having You Around) - Something I wouldn't say no to Cheers Mick

No probs John, although as I said earlier in the thread, I have no idea where I got that scan from, and It would also seem it is a fake. - does anyone have a genuine label scan, or even a description of what the label looks like - I know one or two have (or had) a copy, and the only thing I can work out it the label is a bit basic. Cheers Mick

Which Box Set was the Temptations in? - I have that single, just didn't realise it was from a set. Cheers Mick

Been trying to find out where I got that Bunky scan from - I thought it was this site a few years back, but I've just wasted an hour of my life in a fruitless search. It never occured to me but that font does look wrong - looks just like it's been lifted from the the yellow copy. Cheers Mick

This is the second box set they did - the "in demand" record in here is Chris Clark - Do I Love You, backed with the Frank Wilson Alternate take (from Motown CD mid 90's) Until recently the FW/CC was normal price - seems that in itself is actually selling for £30-£50 nowadays (at least on eBay it is) Cheers Mick

Yes John, here's one ... Cheers Mick

You could be right about the 65 representing 1965 - as you say, other labels do use this kind of prefix - HSI Prix springs to mind. It could be that it was originally scheduled for 65-15, before that number was reallocated to June Jackson. I'm sure that the 76 does mean something but not 1976. The bootlegs predate that year, so the orig release would have been before that (might have been a mistake and they meant 66-9151 ??) Cheers Mick

It's TMG 720 that was withdrawn - only ever seen demos of that. THG 748 was released and both demos and issues are around Cheers Mick

That's it - thank's Fredrik. Cheers Mick

I've been trying to remember what the alternate label and credits were to Bo Kirkland & Ruth Davis - "You're Gonna Get Next To Me" - Claridge. I seem to remember a pale blue label, very basic in design (possibly Jamaican?) with unrecognisable Artist and Song Title credits. I had one in my hands about 4/5 months ago but simply can't remember any of the details. Hope this rings a bell with someone - I don't think the record is rare at all, just that you wouldn't recognise it as that song unless you play it. Thanks Mick

I think he means restore the recording digitally. The problem (challenge?) would be the opening 12/15 seconds - Although Jerrys vocal is there, the music seems to have completely dissapeared. Cheers Mick

Tthe California Playboys LP with "Just Say A Four Letter Word" - (I can't remember the title - anybody ???) - I'd say that was reasonably in demand. New sounds - Turbo LP - (Surprisingly a copy on this site went recently for £250 - I thought that was cheap). Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Don't think anyone has mentioned "Betty Ann" (Doll Face) Cheers Mick

This is Kae Williams - Our Love Is Dying Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Whoever gets to sing "There Was A Time" puts their own name in it (Gene Chandler / James Brown) We should be glad "Englebert Humperdink" never sang that song. Cheers Mick

Pete Dunno about the Mel Britt, but the ABC was around about 3 years ago. Used to see them on eBay from the same place as the "Soul" copies of F Wilson / Originals / J Ruffin / G Knight etc - also White "Tamla" copies of "Love starved heart" (first and second generation) plus heaps of other boots. Cant remember who it was now, someone obvious. Cheers Mick

I don't think he meant the catalogue number was missing. He means the "45" is missing from the number

Craig Moerer has one for $80 - I think that's a litle steep - I would have thought about £30 tops - he has the spelling as "LOWNLY CROWDE" - I know the "Crowd" had an "E", on the end, but I'm not sure if the "Lownly" is a typo though (Scan anyone ??) Cheers Mick

Martyn - it's a US MGM release (it's actually "lonely crowde") Cheers Mick

I've often wondered if Mutt Records from Inkster ever put out any form of promos, either white or green demos. I'm pretty sure I've never seen any, but I wonder if anyone has any - nice to see scans if the do exist. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Aah, yes, see what you mean cheers Mick
