Jerry Hipkiss Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Some you never hear out but must have been big at one point as they were pressed. Bobbi Lynne-Jump Back In The Arms Of Love Was it pressed as a white label with a narrow runout? Had it for years and was always suspicious but haven't seen it in any guide?

Guest MrC Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I had a tape I'd done at Wigan one saturday night, (big tunes were John Leech, Burning Bush etc) and Searling played a tune he introduced as "carlotta - Lies" - that night was the only time I heard it, and I didn't miss many saturday nights at all. it was a cover up, but I never bothered to find out who/what it really was, just seem to remember someone saying it was really rare when it cropped up in a conversation while listening to the aforementioned tape a couple of years later. Anyone remember it, or know what it was/is? Pete Smith probably has a copy of the tape somewhere, so could maybe identify it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 It did come out, I think it's Carletta or Charletta, not sure if it was a one off or a real record, then a version came out on a bootleg as 'Gwen Owens'. That's all I know about this one I'm afraid Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Cheers guys, it's something that's always bugged me (well, every 10 years or so when it pops into my mind!) Has it ever been issued on a CD/LP? Was the gwen owens boot a different version or just a covered up boot of the unissued sussex track? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 I thought the question was about tunes that went big very quickly, then disappeared just as quick... Maybe I'm wrong too Tony This was the point exactly. Records which seemed to be massive for a few weeks then disappeard as opposed to the evergreens that get revived quite often. Frankie Love Man Crocker would be an evergreen, Mack Simmons would be a 'forotten oldie'. Of course they are not really 'forgotten', just maybe ready for more exposure so we avoid the 'constant 600' so to speak. Soul Sauce absolutely packed the floor at the KGB Sheffield, Black Soul at Cleethorpes etc etc, and a few mentioned on here about Wigan. I was looking for others to mention other tunes they felt the same way about, perhaps records they liked but look like they faded away! Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

funkyfeet Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Lots of records given brief spins at the Casino, then dropped due to being booted so many good tunes around the Dj's could afford to drop them, doesn't happen these days, if anything it makes the record a bigger spin.

Paul R Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 On one of the "live Wigan" recordings, from mid 74, that Pete S put up, there was all the usual stuff of the time , Tainted Love, Footsee, mirwood instrumentals, the Javells, and everything else that we've all heard a million times. Then there is a track by, I think, Kenny Ballard. Don't remember it at the time, and not heard it since. What happened there then. Compared to some of the stuff, it souded OK.

Theothertosspot Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Dunno Pete how would we know if it was only played once unless at oNe venue you attended every week certainly the first post states cal tjader, heard that out quite a lot back in the day and many a time since, never heard of matt simmons or earnest fitzgerald so they may have been one-offs I guess? (can name a few records - some so-called big 'uns of today that showuldve been one-plays maybe another post there. As far as I am aware Soul Source was played in the very early 70,s (Torch etc.) and even generated a reissue on verve. The original plays were because of the UK Verve release followed later by its subsequent revisit (oldies) around 78 time. It was also used as a backing theme to a children's BBC programme (can't remember the name) that my kids watched in the 90's. Regards Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
