Our Kid

Mickey Valvano was involved in producing Motown acetates so ya never know who's had their mitts on it!! Paul

Been thinking about this acetate and it has raised a question for me - perhaps somebody can assist. Do people have other Motown acetates to compare the general style/layout as I am intrigued by this Att B G Jnr. Does this stand for: Attendance/Attention? The reason I ask this is because B G Jnr was apparently responsible for scrapping the orig press and i don't understand if a) he was in attendance how it got to a press before he scrapped it b)if it was attention BG Jr did it get delayed getting to him(allowing the press to continue) on purpose to strenghten Frank Wilsons' hand in some sort of negotiating tactic. Anyone with any info appreciated. Thanks Paul

Slightly off track but seem to recall somebody introducing another version of 'Stick By Me Baby' as Herman Hitson at Brid last year - have we any clues about this one? - sounded good to me. Paul

So they say! Explanatory thread on here somewhere. Paul

MVP's??? Paul

It all fits into place now.That's what Bush needs 700billion for!!! Hey the act runs to 451 pages.Has anyone checked the smallprint where it says F**k Wall St someone's got a studio acetate of Frank Wilson!

Kidder you cheeky little devil ya!! Fancy havin' that up yer sleeve well done lad.Make sure your bro don't get hold of it!!! Just when I thought you were doin' karaoke downstairs at the Sportsman you were sortin' out the deal - hats off t ya. Good slab of history there.Paul Boshir will be spinnin' n proud. Paul

Could it have been that Nikki Blu boot (might be wrong but think that was plain yellow) Paul

PM'd you Paul

Produced for the Irish market I recall!!!! Note the religious link on the label -St Lawrence is the patron saint of backdrops. If memory serves me right it was withdrawn because they forgot to put the 'O' between Johnny & Sayles! Paul

Not played the WP record for yonks but recall it is a Bridge/Knight/Eaton composition - are you sure it is a totally different song??? Thought EH was same writers so assume it's the same song albeit in a different style. Paul

Sylvetti - Spring Rain!!! or were you all asleep the million times that was spun??? Paul

Bloody hope not,if it is my ears must've been shot years ago - then again twas a loooong time ago!! Paul

From memory reckon the confusion could be the lyrics,seem to recall it starts off with similar lyrics to 'Teacher to the Preacher' i.e. when we were/school/books etc. Real blast from the past that one but deffo not a group sound. Paul

Don't forget The Inserts! Paul

Didn't know it was released on blue Pye.Thought the 1st issue was just "Goodbye" on the Red & Purple format. Paul

Thought it was a claimed record but PYE had inside people who may have put someone onto it. Orig copies were like gold dust when it first broke so that indicates it wasn't originally aimed at a particular market (or if it was it was a bad aim!!) Paul Looks like we overlapped there.

Well I never! Cheers for the lesson! Paul

Solution would be to request it via Brian Matthews sounds of the 60s show.Should get a definitive answer. Paul

Congrats on your purchase.Keep exploring JW you won't go wrong. You brought about a change in me - sublime Whatcha gonna do about love - even more sublimer (if there is such a word!!) He just makes it sound so easy. Paul

As a collector of NS could somebody give a sensible answer regarding orig/reissue and also stop dissin Mickey Moonshine - had many a good jig to it! Paul

Not had a chance to check my copy but I'm almost sure it was issued as We not You Can Work It Out. Paul

Gotta be the drums. A guy who eats stones for breakfast coupled with a drummer on speed now that's the recipe! Stevie Wonder Nothing's Too Good For My Baby is a good example. Paul

Wonder if the first move they teach you is how to leg it down a set of stairs (safely mind - Health & Safety chaps are everywhere these days) to get to the floor in the first place!! Paul

Yup, seem to recall Joe90 was wheeled out in Stockport as a joke by Tim O'Keeffe (RIP) - a highly respected UK collector who was having a pop at the lowering of standards specifically at Wigan.No one was more shocked than Tim when the word came back that someone had actually played it out at Wigan!!Tim would be having a good laugh at the stir he created if he was here! Just glad to know the same fella who was responsible for the Joe90 joke managed to collect alongside a stunning UK collection,the whole Tamla Motown collection before his untimely passing! Paul
