Amsterdam Russ Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 A couple of recent additions. The Ramblers acetate isn't a soul track - it's an R&B number from 1956 that was recorded for Federal but never got released until it was put on a CD compilation not so long ago. I include it here though as a few years later The Ramblers evolved into The Falcons. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jordirip Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Wow,i like the Jimmy Burns, brilliant tune, the Dispo is a tough one let alone the acetate, hats off to you. Brett That used to be mine Brett. It was apparently Jimmy Burns' own personal copy. It is a rawer mix than the released Dispo 45. I traded it with Vince as part of a deal one night at Prestatyn. I wish I hadn't let it go really, especially for what I got for it. Jordi Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Robbk Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Andy, - That acetate is the same title and same Columbia pressing plant code # as the Diane Lewis cut that was released on Golden World-distributed Love Records. It was published by Myto Music, and "acted" like a Golden World subsidiary label. I guess that Ed Wingate and Joanne were, at least co-owners with someone else on Love, if not sole (100%) owners. Does anyone here know why that record was released on Love, and not on Golden World, Ric Tic or Wingate? Could it be that Lewis' manager or another party partly financed it?

This acetate came out of Herman Griffin's garage ... so did Andrea & Herman have some ownership of 'Love Records' Andy Andrea Henry is listed as the producer on Love Records. H &A Productions (Herman and Andrea) is listed as the Production co. who leased to Wand Records for its national dist. deal. The producer listed on that one is Herman Griffin and Andrea Henry. Griffin was known to have owned labels-AND, more importantly, he had possession of the acetate. I suspect that Love Records was co-owned by Golden World (Ed Wingate/Joanne Bratton (Jackson)) and Herman Griffin (or H &A Productions, with Henry included), and operated as a Golden World subsidiary.

Robbk Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Any chance of my hearing the recording on the "Exotics' cut"? Maybe I can help identify the group? It had to be a group with some relationship to George Kerr, Sidney Barnes, George Clinton, Gene Redd, or Eddie Singleton. Maybe it was The Serenaders, Parliaments, Prophets or one we know is related to those producers. We can make an educated guess at the identity of the producer, based upon the songwriter/s. George Kerr, Sid Barnes and Luke Gross wrote "Let's Get Together". So, I'm guessing that The Serenaders may have sung that demo. As you didn't mention The Serenaders as a guess, I assume that perhaps Timothy Wilson (whose voice is easily recognisable didn't sing lead on that one. Maybe George, himself, sang lead on it?

I believe the song is unreleased, but do let me know if that's incorrect. She made a name for herself on Broadway before crossing over to movies and TV. She appeared in a few films including Cotton comes to Harlem. TV credits include Police Woman, Love Boat, Hill Street Blues and Cagney & Lacey.

Dylan Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think that's a slightly different topic - they're talking about original studio acetates here, the ones you've got were made to order in 1975. are there legit emi discs as well as the made to order ones ? there are quite a few scans of emi discs in the thread and i always thought they were all boots but it might be some of them are real ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Emidisc is just the name of a UK brand of the metal-plated lacquered disc known as acetates. Acetates were legitimately produced for a number of reasons by record companies. For example: * to demonstrate songs for other artists/producers * as reference copies for producer/artist/record company staff before a track is released * as samples of potential releases. Record execs would meet and listen to acetates (emidiscs) and decide what would get (or not get released) * as advance promotional copies to send out to radio djs and get airplay (and thus interest) before a track gets officially released * to record one-off tracks, for example, a special version of a song that gets used in a TV show. The Northern Soul scene (and others) used emidiscs and other branded acetates because they were easy to make if you had a cutting machine. Exactly as you say, emidiscs could be made to order. The emidiscs in this thread are all 'real' as you put it. Well, I can vouch for the ones I've added Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
