Don't think this been done before.

Euro-only 70s dancers that were never relased anywhere else, neither 45 nor LP.

First few that come to my mind:

Wess - Good time

Nina Simone - Touching and caring (not 100% sure this wasn't releases in the states on LP)

Patrick Gammon - When can I see you

Tony Moore - When will I

Any others? There must be plenty...

Nina Simone - Touching and caring (not 100% sure this wasn't releases in the states on LP)

It did get a u.s release,can`t remeber the label but will check later for ya.

Here`s a few:

Listen to me-Eddie Johns(i think this was 70`s).

She`s my ideal girl-Jermaine Jackson(never seen a u.s copy on 7",came out on uk,french and Belguim)

Change my life-Foundations.

(Uk only i believe)

Mainline is sunshine-Flyers

i believe this is from your part of the world

Change my life-Foundations.

(Uk only i believe)

***** At least was also released on a belgium label.

Correct, belgian Panky. Quite rare.

-----------------------------------------------------

Here are a few more:

Al Matthews - Run to you

Billy Jones - I'll keep holding on

Midnight - Keep on walking by

...My Good Friend James - Pioneers...at least I'm pretty sure there was no US release...

mark

Joey Irving - There's a Man. Only on Belgian Baltik I think.

Jordi

Great contribution John. You came up with most of the ones I was thinking about while reading the thread.

Thinking cap on!

Yes, there's probably more yet, but I also suspect some of the things such as released on UK Contempo & Pye might not be what Benji means - maybe more like less well known artists recorded in Europe as opposed to the UK?

...I think maybe not meaning Major Lance, JJ Barnes, Jimmy James etc. - if you get my drift?

It can get a bit difficult to tell one from another I reckon.

Or are these also OK to mention Benji?

You're right I'm more interested in lesser known european artists in the list but there's no reason to limit the list to them.

The only pre-condition I'd like to set is: euro only release, no vinyl release anywhere else (means Main Ingredient and Marcia Hines should be dropped from the list, sorry).

will try to update the list today.

OK Benji, that's fair enough - you better also leave Billy Cole out also due to the Jamaican release.

Wasn't Salena Jones released in 1970? (I'd have to check to be certain)

Maurice McCormick & Maggi - The Reeaall Deeaall

I have this on a UK label, Charly I think - wasn't there also a German release of this?

Edited May 5, 201114 yr by John Benson

Duane Clark .. Stop! Come Around etc

This is on Spark and Barclay ... is this what you mean?

Thanks for the info re. Billy Cole, will drop it from the list. I dropped Salena Jones as it more of a 60s record to me but will put it in again. I'll try to not being to anal

Jackie Wilson "It Only Happens When I Look At You"

UK Brunswick and Spanish Zafiro

Soz Didnt read question properly as think Jackie Wilson came out on a US LP

Sorry, Jackie Wilson was on the US LP, so can't count

But what about Thelma Houston's "Nothing left to give" - not on the US Mowest LP but was on the UK and German releases?

Also:

Jimmy James & the Vagabonds - "Missing you" up to now only on the 4 track EP on UK Mojem

Jimmy James & the Vagabonds - "Want you so much" - UK Pye

Jimmy James & the Vagabonds - "A man like me" - UK Stateside

Joe Tex - Have You Ever - Murcury

Cherry Roland - Here Is Where The Love Is - Decca

Super Love - Sweetness - Balkanton

Super Love - Hang Up Your Probblems - Muza

Is this a.k.a Tony Moore? Or is it a different Nat Wright? Have two lovely early 60s popcorn 45s by a singer called Nat Wright. Very unlikely this is the same bloke, isn't it?

Jimmy Helms: Romeo and Juliet UK and Brasil only

Sorry, Jimmy Helms not for the list. It's not euro-only.

(thread title now adjusted to avoid any further misunderstandings)

Regarding the Maurice McCormick 45:

Great tune. Didn't know it came out in US. But it's a european production, isn't it? Will have to check my copy at home

It was recorded in the US according to Swamp Dogg (who produced it). Atomic Art was Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams label.

When I asked Swamp Dogg about it he said that he brought the tune to MIDEM and several european labels went apeshit over the tune "15 Minutes".

It even got a release here in Sweden!

Obviously never took off chart-wise.

Off the top of my head.........

Craig Pruess "Moving In The Direction Of Love" Ariola

Joe Bourne "Born To Satisfy" Pye

Peggy Scott "You Got It All" Pinnacle

Ward Jensen "Hard Hard Hard" Safari

its the same fellow benji..... i was looking at some pictures of him the other week and comparing them to my german picture cover....by the time he was in europe in the late 70`s he was 40 odd years old and trying to reinvent himself as tony moore....................... he failed

The Pioneers on Ice wasn't a US release Wayne, just another UK issue after the Mercury 45

I wasn`t sure John,i remember my mate had 2 copies,i took his Mercury uk one and he kept the Ice one.I thought i remember the ice copy having no hole in centre so just presumed it`s was u.s.Was a long time ago so thx for clearing that up .

By the way,some great choices,you beat me to it,Thelma Houston,The Chants, and a few of the contempo 7"s.

How about : Got to love/Paper in the rain-Cado Belle.

(U.k artist)

Bela mia-Maxine Brown.

(don`t remember seeing this on u.s,uk only i think).
