  1. No, he never got around to it... according to this forum post anyway:https://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=14117 I also think both recordings of the song are good - in their own way
  2. I remember we had a Telefunken reel to reel recorder sometime in the mid to late 60's Something like this one I seem to think. But I don't think I bothered recording anything particular on it - nor bought any pre-recorded tapes for it. But eight tracks was a different matter, I had a few of those
  3. It was a proper oldie by the time it got plays there! I remember it getting spins in the late 60's and then in the early 70's getting re-issued on mojo due to the 'demand' Actually... I don't remember it being 'huge' at Wigan at all - I must have missed it for whatever reason. Still like to hear it now and then tho
  4. Not forgetting the UK release of this on Buddah! But I do seem to think the Curtom release is a little bit harder to find? But it's a lovey tune whichever format you get it on
  5. I'll agree on this also - I picked mine up from Record Corner after being told about it from a Yate regular I knew - it was a long time after that beore it got major plays elsewhere (as far as I can remember anyway!) The Majestics though, I don't remember hearing until the early to mid 80's.
  6. It's a boot, probably from the Beach scene. It was mentioned on here in April /forums/topic/129119-2-wants/

    No - fraid not Sean

    I don't think I've ever heard this one, only seen reviews in mags - I've no doubt it's already in refosoul but never thought to check
  9. DON GARDNER - IS THIS REALLY LOVE - Is this the one then - It's a good chance I'd say

    Hmmm - interesting, so presumably we could even see a green copy of the above Bobby Reed 45? (2089)
  11. No - I think that was was much earlier, it was his version of the old Ashford & Simpson song

    Yes possibly there is one Roger, I noticed the Bobby Reed is a few numbers earlier and has a white 'non' WB promo, but the Voice Box for example being a later one is the WB release. It could possibly be a clue as to how close it was to when the yellow Loma releases stopped?
  13. Y'know what they say about Yorkshire folk - cheaps not the word (Or skate either!) Sean - mending slowly, but surely - thanks

    Great theme Roger! I'd not realised that the above Linda Jones promo was of the Green Warner Bros release.... Was there also a promo for the yellow copy? I can't really say as I'd noticed.
  15. If only there was somewhere that plays this kind of stuff eh Oh - I just remembered, there is - isn't there
  16. Speaking once more of Walter - I just love this one! Pure class!
  17. Phew! - that makes me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one Got to dig out me CD though and check for the 'Gold foil' - don't think it's got any though...yet! Here's a scan of the LP cover:
  18. Never had a white one, did have a green one for a time but now just got the yellow issue
  19. Y'know - I hadn't realised there was more than one mix of this I only knew of the Jap Goldwax CD version back in the day when it first got spins at Yarmouth / Pitches etc. I've just compared the above CD recording with the LP recording of Andys and they sound the same - so does that mean the Kent 45 was another mix which only surfaced via Kent? I guess so... In fact I think Adey just answered that one whilest I'm typing. I suppose there goes my 'street cred' now
  20. I don't think they'll be far out Dave - I was more giving your site a plug / memory jog than blaming you if the info is wrong... but if the cap fits and all that (Actually I guessed you'd only include dates if you thought they were right and they were around the years I expected they should be - without digging through loads of mags for no doubt the same answers)
  21. I know the price, just wondered who it was... Think I'll just stick with my loma copy
  22. 1970 also for Delegates of Soul - Same source
  23. Vibrations was 1970 - according to Mr Rimmer's site
  24. So who ended up with Linda then - anyone on here?
