Yeah, http://northernsoulrecords.com/item/JB_Willingham_-_Don't_Wanna_Be_Hurt_No_More/NSR1418

Sadly no date. As it never got a release maybe it was touted around for a while?

I can only find a 7" Acetate for the J.B. Willingham it is on Associated - It's strange they would also cut Don't wanna be hurt no more a 10" with a different B side but maybe it was a test cut or a cost saving thing?

Thank you Simon, it seems the known acetates on Associated were 7" also. This 10" is certainly old (no scent left on the acetate) label looks right, perhaps the Willingham side was a test cut or saving materials ? Either way thank you for shedding some light it's much appreciated.

Thank you I know knowledge doesn't come easy or cheap! I Can't see much on J B Williams? Do you know a label? was it a Hill & Range prod? I'd love to learn more on this it's baffled be for a while

Yeah the flip is certainly strongest but it doesn't sound like the same outfit??

I've had this 10" Associated Acetate for a good few years and never got to the bottom of it. It's double sided - one side is titled Ooh Bop Sha Bam credited to Hill & Range the flip is blank and musically better, I'm convinced I've heard it before but can't place it - I've tried to film both sides in the hope someone can shed a little light - Apologies for the camera work I'm guessing the Bafta won't be in the post mojo_video.MP4

That's a differnt angle cheers Alan

Many thanks Alan, it's been driving me nuts

There's a strong chance this is an obvious one but I can't place it - Any ideas? Not much to go from it's a 10" Frankford Wayne two hole single sided acetate - Greg Vaughn (Engineer) then F.A.O: T.M (Tom Moulton?) MOTIV_Video_20250218111299.mp4

Chris King used to play a carver of the Willie Harvey version. He must have dubbed it from tape, it doesn't sound like it was taken from any pressing - I've got it on eBay now: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196119246446

Yes, I passed this one over to John who had some genuine insights into the initial Columbia QC on this run.

The two plant idea is interesting, this would however mean two sets of stampers were made up. (One with etched and one with stamped matrix) This would have come with a cost at the time. Perhaps, if there were reason enough, that happened? As no one is coming forward with a demo or stock copy with a stamped matrix, it's at best an anomaly or something else entirely?

Looks raised Vinyl True or sloppy setting?
