Albrighton, in it's day, was in my opinion, the top Soul night / allnighter in the country for hearing new sounds. There were loads of things that were played there that went on to become massive all over the country. The allnighter playlist is what was played at the niter, but the Soul nights were even better sometimes.

I just had to dance when i heard it...took me a few months to track a mint one down...£50 if I remember but I've seen it on manship for £100 now

Davie, I have seen ones with a coloured rainbow type thing at the top and some which the rainbow is black and green ( same green as label) are both right ?

Cheers guys, mine is the plain one and was never sure if it was OK or not.

Hi Joe, do you know why?

'plain' as in 'ugly' green and black?

This was a ten quid record on the Mod scene then as soon as a Northern DJ got hold of it, it jumped up to £50 overnight.

Bloody hundreds of them about.... must have sold a fair few on release

Hi Joe, do you know why?

LOL Martin, I was wondering that, is it different pressing plants ? I have to say I wish mine had the coloured rainbow bit, just a girl thing I suppose but it looks nicer IMO

Hi Joe, do you know why?

Two different issues... probably had a 'hot' record on another label and the company tried to cash in by re-releasing it.

Don't think it's the National versus Local issue in this case.

One might have been a local and one national or west coast and east coast.........ect wink.gif

Thats blew my theory out the window wink.gif

Have they both got the TGT 'tunning folk' in the middle of the rainbow?

The green and Black one has

i had a choice, but the plain one was mint and the rainbow wasn't...so easy......

Karen, can you confirm the number on yours...

Is it 501 or something like 101/1001... can never remember which is which

its 1002 Joe, the b side is 1001

Edited by KarenC

Confirms what I was thinking... definately two seperate issues...

Black and green label doesn't fit in with the label # sequence (500's) so I reckon it is a second issue (60s)

Yep.

no wonder the rainbow one was *********

Tru-Glo-Town 1002 - My Baby Likes To Boogaloo / I Wanta Know Where Did Our Love Go - 1966 (White Label)

Tru-Glo-Town 501 - My Baby Likes To Boogaloo / I Wanta Know Where Did Our Love Go - 1967 (Green Label)

But looking at this it doesn't explain the rainbow ones. White label, wouldnt that be a demo ? and the 1002 is 66 but the 501 is 67 or have I read it wrong ?

True.....you would hardly describe the rainbow one as white.......what's so bad anyway Karen...at worst we've got an original 2nd issue wink.gif

Oh not bad at all Martin, but looking at that it would seem the 1002 came out in 1966 and the 501 in 1967 so maybe we have the first ?

Aren't the original TGT release matt paper and the colourful one 'shiney' paper?

I don't know but mine is matt paper

Perhaps some were released as 5## series and some 1### series? On the labels there is a 5## number under the artist and a 1### in the middle left under tru glo town production. The white labels are demos, with the raibow / TGT tunning folk logo. However some like Joe Moore came out on a white demo with just big block captitals logo. Either way MBLTB sold many, many copies and the Royal Robins bugger all so that's another label not to start collecting!

Another theory could be:

1st issue of the record comes back from the pressing plant (Black and Green label) and the label owner thinks that no one will buy it because it is butt ugly.

Has the label redesigned in wonderful technicolor and repressed in quantity.

Then sticks with the second label for the rest of the releases.

but...

If you were a label owner would you follow the 1000 series with a 500 series, or would you go for a higher number?

Its a shame this thread has disolved into talking about one of the worst records ever played on the northern scene poor old TC will be turning in his grave wink.gif

what about love bone on Cedrick which is far superior

Ted

if you are gonna split the topic you should have removed your own from the end

i thought you had split it ted ...so i apologise for that

Another great Don Gardner 45 released on Tru Glo Town 505 is I aint gonna let you down which is superb , and far superior to My Baby likes to boogaloo and cheap to pick up. I think I posted it up in the sounds section some time ago but dont think it would be worth playing out as it would clear most dancefloors.

The Soulfulkindamusic discography seems to confuse people.

All label variations are originals, pressed the same year, at the same pressing plant. All have 501 as its catalogue number (as far as I'm aware). The numbers 1001 and 1002 are the matrix numbers for each of the songs. Check out the scans below. I'd guess that the white ones are demos and the multicoloured ones are issues.

Please send in scans if you have a label that doesn't state 501 as its catalogue number.

£20 seems about right. And i am with ya, not a tune for me either.

Just looked at mine again and yes 501 is under the title, looks the same as your white scan except its green if you know what I mean

maybe they just ran out of the colors to make the rainbow. its happened here at work before, a real bummer when the yellow toner's empty.

not a tune for me neither really, though if pressed I prefer the Emperors because it's just so doggone groovy and hammondlicious.....not very 'norvern soul' though at all IMO but a great tune at a more wide ranging sort of night....

I only heard the Emperors take at Luton a few weeks ago....I like both

anyone got the full story on the rare female version rob messor has, as in how rare etc

can never remember the group

It is by Lewis Bethune and called "Chi-Town Boogaloo", released on Sack and it's stated to be "a Tru-Glo-Town production" on the label. Seems to be quite damn rare as it very seldom crops up for sale. Details:

Lewis Bethune - Chi-Town Boogaloo / I Want You So Bad - SACK 4363
