I was thinking more of a "refund" from Kev Roberts than I was of me selling it. 

Haaaaa.  Cheques in the post....

Hi Dean- 40 years ago it seemed like a good piss take and funny at the same time. At least I'm still breathing.....only just mind! 

Bizarre eh and thanks to a 'friend' who pressed it up(70's). I won't reveal you lol. 

I found the owner Rob Russen in New Jersey finding multiples of the Ellingtons and Millionaires originals(dark blue) at his home in Trenton. Rob later reissued the Ellingtons( Silver label) selling the quantity to the late Bernie Binnick( John Anderson's US partner at the time)  

It sort of petered out before it really got started  

Timeline was around 1977.

The song appeared on an episode of Ali McBeal. The UK CBS is not so rare as you'd think, they go for about £20 - 25. There's a French picture sleeve worth looking for.

Chris.....Hope you're well.  I beg to differ on the UK CBS not being rare, so much so I will buy every copy at £25 each! Seriously mate it's way more than that. 

I think it's easy to assume how common it is due to the ongoing popularity of both UK-Northern and US Radio plays, but it didn't sell a carrot when released on CBS. I rarely see it for sale. 

It was a major play at Blackpool Mecca in 1975, not forgetting it reached no.12 in the US, 1969 for Pat Upton and the boys.

Correct. Surfside made it for Goldsoul exclusively. It wasn't to help along the Timeless cd as that deal with Expansion had not happened when the 45 was made.

500 were made of which 100 were serviced to DJ's and friends.

Generally a front to be able to pocket a few quid and DJ at the same time(IMHO)

Welcome wholeheartedly any genuine fund raising events for good causes but Northern has become an easy target and platform for organisers to get plenty of praise and notoriety and in some cases....funds too  

From what I've read, Edith Wayne was a friend of The Holland family,  She was just a name used for a money collection designation for The Hollands and Lamont, and she made no creative contribution to HDH Production's product.  Dunbar, on the other hand, was part of the creative staff.  He was likely involved every time his name was used.  HOWEVER, during the time that HDH still could not list their names, his part in the production or songwriting was likely to have been significantly less than that of The Hollands and Lamont.  WE can all hear it on "Band of Gold" and "Give Me Just A Little More Time" and The Honey Cone's hits.  On the songs after HDH were eligible to be listed, surely Dunbar stood for Ron Dunbar alone.  Wayne no longer was used at that point.  Dunbar was groomed by HDH as a "junior" A&R man and producer.  He proved that after HDH Productions stopped, by doing a creditable job on projects together with George Clinton, and a few other independent projects.

But, the story about HDH using Edith Wayne's and Ron Dunbar's to stand for credits that should have been theirs is true.  Wayne's name must have stood for the music writing, and Dunbar's, for the majority of the lyrics writing, with Dunbar as a junior writing "helper" until they were allowed to use their own names.  Dunbar acted as assistant producer to HDH, when they couldn't give themselves producer credit.  After they could take the credit, he must have been the sole producer for his name's portion of the credits. when he was given production credit (e.g. "Patches"?).

So, the rumours and story WAS true, and yet, Dunbar was also telling some truth about himself.  It was just a blending of the two.  But no one can convince me that Ron Dunbar, alone, wrote the music for those HDH Productions hits, or even that he was the lead writer on them.

Well in my opinion that is not factually correct and if you see MY sources(which are HDH staff connections) that I have personally met and interviewed ie Dunbar, Dozier, Johnson, Wright and Perry they tell a different story. Ron Dunbar was a good pop songwriter who I genuinely believe wrote 'Band of Gold' and others. 

The fact that HDH dominated the production is correct but not before Dunbar and Wayne created the ingredients for a worldwide multi million selling smash. 

Really stunned to here that as Ron would be extremely embarrassed to hear it.  Dunbar and Wayne were prolific hit makers and I totally believe his version of events. He's remained a friend since 2004 and we hope to see him in 2018 at the next Soultripusa.  

Let's get things totally straight.  I too know Lamont and Ron. Make no mistake Dunbar/Wayne wrote Band of Gold and others they were credited too. 

The guvnor's H-D-H would have inevitably been involved in the overall finished product but Ron was absolutely one of the writers.  

The sources of my findings are my interviews with Ron Dubar( LA 2004), Greg Perry(2004) ,Edna Wright(2004), General Johnson(2002), Lamont Dozier(2003)

I will try and locate the full RD talky bit and turn it into a Mixcloud special at some stage.
