absolutely brilliant - the best £1. i spent last year - or many a year come to that (and i have played it out...)

i believe it was covered up "Flights of Fantasy" i think...

p.p.s I'm not saying i believe in Guy Hennigan as some sort of idol - or that i have mentioned him before and am now doing again. what i mean is that i think it was him that covered it under that name because i heard it last year as that then went and bought the thing.

just wanted to clear my beliefs up.

Loads of copies on the bay for less than a tenner!

Here's 3 Different Variations of the Bunky Label

Not sure if Darker Orange Scan (Red To Look At In Daylght) could be my scanner settings

& Light Orange Released at Slightly Different Times

The DEMO's are Almost Impossible to find so for a cheap as chips record as a Stock Copy

, worth looking out for.

It was a nice surprise when I realised that the exact same recording of "When I'm Ready" that was issued as a Mill Evans 45 on TOU-SEA is included on that Esquires album. One side of his CONSTELLATION label 45 is also on the LP.

THATS RIGHT.. THINGS WONT BE THE SAME THE B SIDE OF IVE GOTTA HAVE YOUR LOVE ON CONSTELLATION IS ON THE LP. SAME TAKE TOO. MY FAVE ON THE LP IS MY SWEET BABY. IT TOOK THEM 5 YEARS TO PUT THAT OUT ON A 45. ENDED UP ON THE FLIP OF HENRY RALPH ON HOT LINE IN 1972. STOCK COPY ONLY AND QUITE TUFF. WHEN ACTION PUT IT OUT IN THE UK IT WAS PROMOTED TO THE `A ` SIDE

GOT A NICE WHITE DEMO OF THIS ONE. NOT THAT COMMON EITHER

Hi Dave

Appears to be true of most of The Esquires Stuff on Bunky.

Guessing there's West Coast & East Coast Variations too.

Either way, there can't have been many DEMO's made for some reason,

compared to the Stock Copies. This is the only Esquires Bunky DEMO that I have.

When was it covered up?,this used to get plays at Cliff Steels do`s in

N/hton back in the 80s,can`t really see the point if it was a recent

cover up,but hey thats just my opinion :unsure:

Dave f........

I have a tape from the Great Yarmouth weekender radio station in 1990 and Guy H. plays it covered. Tho I have the feeling he wasn't really serious about it and meant it more tongue in cheek.

The Esquires other Wand release, often over looked is worth checking out.

"I Don't Know/Part Angel Wand 1195 two really nice sides.

In response to Val's post that we don't hear records like this enough, sadly the uptown soul sound is out of vogue in England at present, maybe time for a change.

Eeem you got one of these for a fiver Toad g.gif nice one

When I split from Brian and we negotiated who was having which records a few years back he charged me 50 bloody quid for this , mind you I would pay that today for such a great sound.

I too picked up the Lp quite some time back and found every track a gem , no one has mention girls in the city yet ?

Brought "I don't know" back about 78 from a local shop. Was suprised then to hear the version by the Prime Ministers spun by Gary Spencer about 91/92? for a while, as it isn't a patch on the Esquires version.

Reviewed "How could it be" in issue 12 of Soul Renaissance, and heard out recently somewhere like the Attic or Disciples of Soul? Sounded brilliant.
