Timmy Shaw & Chuck Holliday - has anyone seen or got this 45?

Steve

Yep, I've got one Steve!

OK thanks what is it like Paul?

do you have the eldees? would love to see / hear it

OK thanks what is it like Paul?

I'll have to get back to you on that Steve. It's behind a bookcase at the moment!

Actually, no it's not - just found it. Typical 60s midtempo male duets with perhaps a southern feel. Reminiscent of Pic & Bill somehow. Mainly guitar, drum and piano backing - no brass. "You better (get yourself together) the original a side has a slightly funky break. Don't recall noticing this on other Big Hit 45s - this one has the titles in the run out, plus JMM's intitials and "Sound Patterns mastering Detroits first!" scratched in.

Thanks. Steve

I can do you sound files of both sides if you don't already have them mate

I'm "Such A Lonely Guy" is the better more 'northern' side

Cheers

Richard

He sounds white on SALG allways like that one.

THANKS guys. It was a missing number here and i couldn't find one on the net either, although i see craig moerer has one for sale. just wanted to confirm it's existence which we've now done

any word on the eldees?

Not from me no.

any word on the eldees?

When I collected the label, found The Eldees the toughest to find. I spent a lot of time in Detroit in the late 80's and finally purchased it from a collecter for $250. Big Hit 111 and Big Hit 110 with its different flip side was also scarce. Just moved home and will try to post in the next few weeks.

Cheers Richard

that would be awesome to see or hear. thanks in advance.

Too true Boba.

The Eldees on Big Hit was beginning to sound like a myth.

When somebodys mistake gets added from scribble to published list.

Apologise for the photo quality, red labels are always a problem. Info is as follows:-

a-side Help Me Grow Up (To Be A Man) written by D. Yancey, who also wrote the groups the a-side of the Eldees release on Dynamics, so presume it is the same group. Produced by Johnnie Mae Matthews and D.Yancey, Music by Black Nasty.

b-side You're A Sweet Thing written by D.Yancey & H.McGhee. Production credits the same.

Will try to post a soundbite later, when I am back working.

To anyone who has noticed I only have one posting, I have been away from the site for a time with cancer, my wife dying of cancer, relocating to another town etc. When I came to log back on I had forgotten my password. Sign of the times, I am sure a lot of you can relate to it, so I had to start over again. Thanks to Mike for his help.

Of to the States next week, so hopefully will do so buying and I will be back selling in a couple of weeks.

Cheers

Richard Pack

I don't know what else to say except I'm really really sorry about you and your wife's health; I hope you recover quickly and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to take these photos (awesome) despite everything you're dealing with. Thank you.
