    The site Beatles Interviews.Org has an interview from a Detroit press conference on 6th September 1964 that goes thus: The full transcript of the interview can be found HERE...

    Thanks Mark, Benji and docfish! The scan combined with the information about Peter Shaeffers Music Publishing is excellent and confirms that this is a German acetate made to sell the song to a label for commercial release. Whether it did get a release though seems to be in doubt from what you guys are saying. Wow, I'll bet the company's archive was indeed real treasure chest! From what I've learned, Linda Cumbo changed her name after the first couple of releases and became Linda Clifford...

    Thanks for the link, but not sure that helps. All it highlights to me is how poor Yahoo Music is as a resource.

    No one know? I ask as I picked up a 7" acetate recently of 'Did you ever lose your mind'. The name on the label 'Peter Shaeffers Music Publishing' is a long established publishing company based in Germany. Also, it appears not to be an American-made acetate. Does this publishers name appear on the US release, can anyone tell me? (I did ask for a scan recently but no one was able to oblige). If not, did this get released in Germany or elsewhere in Europe? (If it is a European acetate rather than an American one, then it's interesting that the label is in English rather then German). Any info? Thanks

    I suppose it could be Denise Chandler, Paul, but it's certainly not 'Love is tears / I'm walking away', which has the catalogue numbers of Lock 752 1245 A/B Is there a Lock discography out there (haven't found one yet), or can anyone tell me if there is a Lock 752 1494. If so, what is it?
  7. Amsterdam Russ
    Oh, well. That's disappointing to learn. Still it'll save me a visit. Seems the guy could a rip-off merchant after all, in which case I stand very much corrected

    Any ideas on who the artist might be and if it was released, what label it came out on? Apparently it's from Chicago, and the catalogue number on the two sides are 752 1494 A/B. The disc comes as a test pressing with both labels blank. The Lock label has been suggested as a possible point of origin as the numbering format is identical. Any suggestions? * Edited to add correct soundfile!

    Excellent - thank you. The Belgians will be pleased...

    You still don't get it? The guy runs a record shop & these ebay listings are intended to attract your attention to the fact that... the guy runs a record shop!

    It's a future that already exists...

    Good to hear it. That leaves all the more for us over here...
  13. Amsterdam Russ
    Excellent story. Did you hear anything more after sending the mp3?

    If he sold one at those price I don't think the fees would be problem - and I doubt if the seller would care anyway!
  15. Amsterdam Russ
    Um, hate to tell you this, but I don't think that these are listed at silly prices with the expectation that someone's actually going to buy them - for goodness sake They're listed solely with the purpose of piquing your curiosity - to get you to click on them. It's so simple - and it's worked, hasn't it? Whether it's an effective method of marketing the shop or not is another matter.
  16. Amsterdam Russ
    The point is to let people know that the record shop exists. Now that I do, I'll make a point of going to visit next time I'm in Antwerpen. Success!

    You guys are still missing the point of what he's doing, which is generating free advertising. That being: VISIT LARGE NEW POPCORN VINYL STORE IN BELGIUM ANTWERP

    Can anyone tell me if Linda Cumbo's 'Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow / Did you ever lose your mind' got a release in Germany or anywhere in Europe during the 60s? Thanks in advance...
  19. Amsterdam Russ
    Because the popular music of 60s saw the rise of couples dancing apart (as witnessed in all those TV music shows). Further solo inspiration came from the carefully choreographed stage routines of artists and groups...

    Left or right? I know, I know. Sorry, couldn't resist!

    The film is Hellzapoppin' , from 1942. The dvd cover notes describe the footage as: "...the greatest Lindy Hop dance routine ever filmed."

    For the purposes of clarification and not argument, I can say that here in the Netherlands we get Saturday deliveries. In fact, I had a package from Amazon (UK) and a 45 from the States delivered yesterday.

    Thanks, for at least making an effort. Wow, you would have thought that Soul Source might have been able to help before I had to resort to asking a complete stranger on eBay for a scan of the flipside of something they have up for sale! Here, in the continued spirit of sharing, is a rather interesting news story involving the lovely Ms Cumbo....
  24. Amsterdam Russ
    Thanks for those scans, but it is the other side I want.

    And she looks like this...
