John Benson

Zane has kindly put a link up to the show on the EMS site, nice one Zane

Can someone please post that link on here for me?

For some reason I can't get on EMS without logging in - and I haven't been able to do that for years

Since they went web based anyway!

Who's complaining then Dave?

Someone who doesn't like their own song I guess...

Ir's not like Manship not to mention boot or repro if it is ! ! I guess everybody makes mistakes ?

John has a copy on his site right now, but it doesn't mention it's anything

BUT... if you search on Gemm, John's copy is categorised as 'RE-ISSUE'

https://www.gemm.com/item/KING-c-TURNER--AND--HIS--BLUES--BLASTERS/TWO--LOVES/GML8782248/

On both sites however, it does mention it's Big Joe Turner - so maybe it's just an oversight rather than trying to mislead?

BTW - co-incidently, Craig Moerer also has one for sale...

But just how often does the 45 turn up?

It seems like ages since I last heard of one...

hopefully i'll get some time this week to dig out some New Zealand Stateside 45s & post them up...............

Here's my only NZ Stateside (I think?)

Darrell Banks:

Here's the US promo:

I'm afraid my UK demo is a bit 'crackly' otherwise we might have been able to do something!

hey John thats the fourth different copy of leave the girl alone ive seen . it looks usa or is it one of your foreign demo's

Not a foreign one Martin, it's my US demo - didn't I show it you once before?

Like in March 2006....

No Blake, it's not just UK only :

Argentina released it (it's not mine though), plus I've got it on a US Paramount mono / stereo promo along with a UK promo.

I don't know if there was a US issue though, but it's most likely.

Here's a few more goodies from Stax and associated labels:

Of course there's loads more that could be added to these

YesPaul that's the correct title on the Poppies LP....it was also released with that same title on a 45 in Chile:

Yes it's featured on a few to my knowledge:

Best of Soul Time: a Selection of Northern Soul Classics from the Archives Ofcolumbia Epic & Date

https://www.amazon.co...a/dp/B00006GF76

The Poppies meet the Glories

https://www.gocontine...n_poppies.shtml

I'm sure there's more than these two...

Edit: - Pete beat me to it

Agreed on all that's been said about the lady - but it just reminded me... wasn't there something by her - as Sandra Richardson that Richard Searling has been known to play now and then over the years?

For the life of me I can't remember the title but I seem to think it was some unissued thing?

cant remember if it was on here or ebay ages ago someone had a light blue calla copy for sale, apparently it used to belong to mak from belper, never seen another one,

ive had a short intro on calla with goodbye love on the A

a long intro on calla with i only have eyes on the A

and a short intro on calla with i only have eyes on the A

i did have all the numbers wrote down to make sure but i cant bloody find them

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know this was a long time back, but I don't think the blue Calla copy has been featured yet, this is the short intro with "Good-bye love" on the A side.

It would appear that the spoken intro copies are numbered 'C127B' whereas the short intro copies are 'C127BN'

Plus also the slight difference in the timing for the short intro being 2 mins while the spoken intro is longer at 2:28

Here's a scan of the spoken intro DJ copy for comparison.

I know it doesn't help much as to who Frankie is / was though - I've never know that myself, nor been quite sure of the 'he or she' aspect of it either

Dave, John Rowles on an Aussie MCA label 7" from 1969 is by far the best .. and rarest version of this tune ! The Aussie release is a much faster and ballsiermix/take than the US Kapp 7" release .

I've got one of these but it's a New Zealand copy (MCA 3029)

Would this be the same mix / take as the Aussie copy you mentioned?

Can't really say I was aware of it being different, so never thought to compare it...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Bobby Sheen one of those 'dodgy' one that came out some years back?

I thought the proper demos had the *stars* on the flip side?

The official 'A' side was "I may not be what you want" NOT "Something new to do"

Lovely tune it is

Also features as track 1 on the Israeli LP - currently my Avatar

Here's Anthony & the Imperials in it's promo format

Not mine though - I've just got a yellow copy!

They both recorded for GWP at that time, so I assume that may be the reason for the release?

No idea on a price though, but I don't think it's a lot.

Yes for my sins i too have the promo 12" & CD.......oh and the 45 (courtesy of Mr Briscoe many moons ago at yarmouth )

Not sure i have in quite enough formats yet though

What about this one Steve - a promo CD single from Brazil?

Never got myself a 12" though, just the 7", CD album.... and the one above

Yep, nice tune, I have the UK Bell demo, and the blue US copy... oh and also Pat Sands & the Pebbles version!

Other than the Herman Hitson CD which came out a few years back - but wasn't there also a slightly different version knocking about as well?

You cynical old Hector........ Its neither John, I was really surprised by the £500 price tag and thought it would make an interesting topic!......

.....As Sean says a toughie, but in quality worth every penny.

BH

PS. not changed your mind about Bilbao?

OK Blake, I stand corrected! I thought for a moment you were 'sounding out' the market!

PS - I've not seen you for ages to tell you have I - so we'll be seeing you at the airport

So Blake...

Just what is this all leading to? - you've either got a copy to sell or found a box full?

By the way, I've not got a clue on a price...

Think that'll be about it Blake.

Kev's only got very small hands!

Seriously though, I think its a toughie.

Dried up immediately after Kev brought them in.

Mr Benson will have one though, I'm sure, so that'll be six.

Sean

:lol: :yes:

I've no idea Bob, I wasn't aware of a third label for the song

I just copied the playlist from Steve's post on EMS, we best hope Steve reads this and tells us...
