    Forget that question, I just found one:
  3. John Benson
    Have you actually seen one of these, or going on what it says on Discogs or somewhere?
  4. John Benson
    Not having the album, I can't be certain, but they're both listed on Discogs and the reissue has a date of 2009. so just maybe that date is on the record or sleeve? But you might already know that much.... https://www.discogs.com/master/view/589844

    None of us knows it all Ivor.

    I have 7 Chalky, I don't think there were any more.

    Panky is the Belgian release Ivor:
  8. John Benson
    I thought there was just a Belgian release and the UK single.... Maybe a South American too? I can't recall hearing about a USA release though. Tell us more Ivor...
  9. John Benson
    Awesome!

    I've about 5 or 6 releases on the label, but I think only the Foundations & Limmie are up to much? I did start trying to compile a listing up at one time, but there quite a lot more than I realised. I'll check out those on 45 Cat and se if I can add anything.

    As far as I can remember, without digging out the 45. That 80's single was the 60's recording but with 'modern' overdubbing of strings. Which has been mentioned numerous times on this thread already, personally I think it ruined the song, not improved it by trying to make it more contemporary. I can't speak for the 12" as I've never bothered picking it up, but assume it's the same? I think the original one was on 'The Master" CD set, but can't actually be certain which take it was.

    I think you thought right Mike. It was always Steve Mancha to me, not JJ.

    Without digging through old copies of Blues & Soul, I seem to think there must be an article in one of them which also ought to confirm it for certain. sometime around the release on Magnet of "It's uncanny" I would think. Failing that surely Dave Godin would have said something as the single was one he wrote about at the time?
  14. John Benson
    Not my cuppa - but for those interested there's a track by Richard Torrance on his Capitol LP "Double take" called "Runaround Girl" I guess this is the mystery track?
  15. John Benson
    Here's the version by Tender Loving care - taken from the Kent CD "Masterpieces of Modern Soul" https://acerecords.co.uk/masterpieces-of-modern-soul See what you think, but it sounds like the same lady to me?
  16. John Benson
    I can't say as I know, but if you listen to the previously unreleased track that Kent put out by them "Love me baby". Then compare the singer to the same song by Touch of Class - it sounds very much like the same singer to me: Touch of Class is the first one on the clip, the second one is not the same though, (it's Viola Edwards)

    Wasn't that the one that someone got hold of the Prix label stock? Rich Rosen perhaps? There was something on the label that had some sort of different mix and the label was slightly different, was this it?
  18. John Benson
    To save Steve the trouble of chasing up the info, there's a thread on here from January 2008 abut the Love Committee test pressing: Don't know how I missed it A scan would be nice though!
  19. John Benson
    Sorry Steve, I was about to add that to my comment as to if he meant a UK release but went and forgot myself! Did it get a release number then - on Salsoul I guess?
  20. John Benson
    This was actually released Ian, I've never found one personally though......yet
  21. John Benson
    Is that fact Dave, or are you just thinking out loud?
  22. John Benson
    My copy is the small 45 logo, bought in the late 90's from the USA - but what does that prove? I seem to recall having a discussion around that time about if they were legit, but can't recall any mention of a Belgian or any other re-issue. Except that they all seemed to be like that for some reason - which was never really known....
  23. John Benson
    I have a copy of the Superiors, but it's not for sale
  24. John Benson
    I think he might be confusing it with the Peggy Gaines 45 on Ref-O-Ree?
  25. John Benson
    Meaning as in the above record - V10477 released on October 1st 1977? I didn't know that one...
