It's actully from 1985! One of the greatest double-siders ever IMO.

PS! Chalky - I'll sort out the MP3s for you. Just give me a couple of days, ok.

just been told the playmates 45 was actually recorded in 1978

hence it sounding bloody good for a 1985 record.

Are you really sure about this? Someone I know talked with

the label guy some years ago and he never mentioned this

when asked about the record. Doesn't mean you ain't right

of course. Just curious.

Who was that, Raymond Simmons? I tried to get him to give us the story on the group and the record a few years back but he recalled absolutely nothing at the time...maybe he had a sudden moment of clarity. I did speak to Harold Andrews around the same time who told us he sold the rights to Simmons for $100 back in the 80's and that the record never went further than the local area. Check out Ray's percussion workout on the web...fascinating stuff. There are photos of him on the web including guys who could have been the Fab Playmates...when I asked him if there were any pics of the group he said not. Still got my Select Records T-shirt somewhere

I was offered this recently ,but the guy wanted

my "Tavasco" for it

sadly i had to pass on his offer

The Fab Playmates has been on another SS thread recently?

I remember John Anderson saying on the front page of his list in the 80's that this was the new Carstairs! Bought it blind on that! I think John also said summat about only having 25 copies at the time too!

Totally brilliant 45 that i never ever tire of.

With all due respect Mr Simmons, $25 seems a bit expensive for a two track CD. The advert says 'Collector's album' but only two tracks are listed. Is this a full album you're selling or a two track CD?

Hi Raymond,

Were these CD's cut from master tapes?

Tenyu

Bought mine just like SteveP off 'soul bowl' as a front pager Wonder how many other SB front pager's went onto become "big money/in demand" sound's? Should we start a thread? Is Mr Anderson on here ? He could write page's I'm sure!

and I don't mean ''Heartache's and pain'' !!!!!!

cheers ray

I had a couple of these in my barn. Then a few years ago I decided to have a bit of a clear out. So I took a couple of crates up to Sheridans to one of Andys niters, then tipped the crates up side down on the pool table & announced "Five quid each!!". It resembled a Rugby scrum.

Anyway, I stood there talking to soul sam & a guy came up with a handfull, & in there was the Fab Playmates. Sam said he wanted it, but the guy handed me his money. I found another & sam was kind enough to give me about £20 in a trade for it.

Now reading this thread looks like I did another wrongun
