Due to my reply in " Your Favourite Chinese " topic, further down the forum list , I am now compelled to find the true artist / title / label of this track !!!

Guy Hennigan spin from early the eighties , and got it on tape , chorus goes :

Ling Ting Tong , Play That Song ........................

Any ideas ?

I think they were done around 1993, the art work was done courtesy of Dave Rimmer, Jimmie & the Entertainers is next I think? The Hyperions was £70 off Tim Brown at the time, I can't believe what it goes for now, and there was a few about back then!!!

Many thanks posting it up, great days back then, not a bad listing either, there was another one after that that had tracks on like Anita Anderson - A little bit longer, Les Chansonettes, Carol Anderson - Taking my mind off love, Dynells - Call on me, Karmello Brooks - Tell me baby, plus many more.

Still got that one

The Rivals at that time !!

Great track listing, the quality was high back then, however it still is now if you're in the right places! There seems a lot more quality soul 45's about now than there was then, and that's got to be down to the internet.

The Rivals at that time !!

These really are superb!!!

A lot of hard work searching through the boxes to produce tapes like this! Quality and then some!!!

Point is mate , these were of the utmost highest quality sounds of the time and still are to this day ,

My thanks to you and all the other boys concerned for putting them together ,

I must buy a cd player !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the topic in question... Guy played it as the Milestones, i'll post the one from his tape, Guy's Monsters 87. Keep meaning to do a topic purely for the tape. Wasn't Guy playing it off an acetate?

Funnily enough they'll both be coming out of my little box to play at USOS on 19th - and I guarantee every fecker'll sit down when they do

He's back with me pal, couldn't live without him. How can you not own a record which contains the words egg foo yung - I finally saw sense

Seriously, I can think of a few things I've had to let go because of cashflow problems and that I've regretted, Billy was one of em (alongside Limelights, Matt Lucas, Idols, Billy Miranda etc) - as long as you know where they've gone though there's always the possibility when things improve ... ...

take it easy bud

How can you not own a record which contains the words egg foo yung

Absolutely my friend, brilliant analogy.

How can you not own a record which contains the words egg foo yung - I finally saw sense:thumbup:

I'm also rather partial to Billy's 'Eleanor Jean'...nowhere near as rare, but mighty fine never the less!
