Prophonics 2029

The 4 Vulnerable's was played Ian had a copy and Carl played it for him. At the time it sounded ok but on further listens its very plink plink fizz.

Terry Callier's Ordinary Joe but the LP's have a longer version and the alternate mix.

It just to say that the records was not of fantastic quality from day one and to have a counterfeit pressing, manufactured on inferior vinyl that apparently isn't of the regular Motown standard you would expect to be of poor sound quality as well, but I see what you mean about the print being strange and not very clear. I have been checking my Motown singles, I must admit its not a record label that I collect doubles of and have come a cross some interesting differences like my Eddie Holland with a Nashville and an ARP stamped in the dead wax but no logo at the bottom of the label, quiet a selection. I always thought C was for copy rite and p was for a re print or second issue? About the recording and loss of tapes I read it in a Mowtown book that also went on about some guy who had invented a 3 track recorder and amps that had a habit of bursting into flames from heat from bad cables.

Not sure if I have eve seen a Monarch Motown press, seen a Howard Guyton styrene issue

Not too sure if you are right about this on Tony, Motown were in a hurry to get a Four Tops in the charts so they worked all night to get this record cut from tapes, they took an acetate to the pant and the record was released from that, the master tapes were lost so they recorded another version for the LP.

I have been playing the b-side but think the other side BTO is a great blue eyed romp and worth a spin out.

Cats out of the bag then, I have been playing this for about 8 month's C/U as The Washington Brothers, great record with a good dance floor response. My mates after a copy I will e-mail you.

Yep you are right, getting my Herb Johnson's and Johnny Moore's mixed up. Huggghh anyone help, where's the sound file icon moved too.

I have had this on a gold Brunswick reissue or a boot, dreadful sound quality.

Would the Soultown be something to do with the Jimmy Conwell connection, there is another released version of LCBMNMHMNTTM or TTM? Sweets S105.

I tried Mr Muscle on a few records, you may thing no way but finger grease is acidic so to neutralise Mr Muscle is ideal being caustic soda an alkaline like soap, fairy liquid is as well. One problem is the records are in mono and some of the distortions are not actually there but you can hear them when played in stereo and it's not dirt in the grooves. While you are at it play a record, get comfortable and have a listen, then clean the plug on the turn tables mains with fine sandpaper and see if you hear any difference.

Would you trade on this if i send a list. T~~

George Smith I ve Had It, a guy came up to the decks and said why are you playing this crap it's cleared the floor get it off, I pick out 5 records and said well! what should I play next, he had no idea he didn't know the Geo Smith.

Not inferior just a different mix and not for me. I have had both you got to try it to like it.

£20 picture cover £10 - £15 for a plain issue or demo. My demo has 10/14/65 on both sides.

Fantastic track, had the CD for a few years since they played like at The Cleethorpes weekender and I can't understand why Kent record's have not had this as the anniversary single or out on general release, not sure about the magic pond? but my favourite Diplomats track.

Never Let Me Go is a bit Herman Lewis and the Yellow copy has a B great or A, strange the 2 releases. I have never heard then out, Thanks to Pete's I have never played the Have A Little Mercy side.

True Dave. Glad you put your oars in, I have just listened to that version of The Drifter after 30 years, took me back a bit given me tingles in my neck. Cheers.

A few guys from the US have been sending my stuff registered and put say $300 $400 on the ticket as what the records cost, I then get an Import VAT bill for £60 from UK customs + a handling charge, He points out that it cost him extra to send it and its something I never requested, they could just send it recorded for $9.99 second hand disc., 99.9% of US dealers records turn up.

I have a VG++ copy plays M- light scuffs with light ring mark if interested £120.00 can send you a sound clip, no point in putting another sound file up.

Thanks for the scan Bogue. Did think The Carlton's would be DC, as you say probably the that sound.

This sounds like The Ascots Miss Heartbreaker crossed with The Epsilons? makes me wonder. Not a bad track, very long 3 mins. Any one got a scan to put up.

I wonder if the Yellow design is the demo being a bit simpler on style.

I have this Jackie Ross Sedgrick S-3007 Take The Weight Of Me - A Woman Man - in a similar vein to the Bobby a bit slower, think they are more tape swappers stuff that never get out of the house.

If the numbers are correct what about measuring dead wax to play space to determine if it's a boot or original.
