Anyone out there have a rough idea of how many Barons Of Soul -Grapvine demo's of You Need Love, actually got out in circulation ??? as i know it was never given a proper release and the demo's slipped thru the net as they say.

cheers Ralph

    Firstly thank you to Eddie Hubbard for reminding me of this via FB - cheers mate. Butch played it from an unissued acetate, but demo copies were pressed on Grapevine, but were withdrawn.

  • Yeah the Grapevine release was the same as Butch's acetate and yep he pitches it up, but it does sound better that way imo. Sold a Grapevine copy a few weeks back, less than £30 I think.

  • As far as I know just 50 DJ copies were made - I don't believe any were trashed, unless they made the issues and trashed them????? Here's some more info on the unreleased 45's on Grapevin

Some questions:

Was the Grapevine demo the same mix as the unissued acetate ?.

Did Butch pitch this up + ?.

How many Grapevine demos were pressed ?.

Were they all sold or did some get trashed ?

Brilliant tune BTW

Best Russ

Thanks Ian.

Whats the story with Irma & the Facinators version, did it get a legit release, its not mentioned on the Harthon discography unless it is one of the missing numbers ?....any info much appreciated. I did know this when it was played back at the Dome, but my shot away brain has ditched the info :lol: ...

Hi Russ mate,

long time no see the irma & the fascinators version was first played at rock city nottingham mid-late 80's played by jim wensoria then rob marriott sure it came from dave raistrick top tunes both of them

50 copies..... pretty sure I have 2 of these*, and based on most records of only 50 copies all hitting at least 4 figures, feel free to send me your best offer, just don't include the wife just yet to see I what else is on offer.

*Apologies for the obviously annoying gratuitous I have one post, but my justification, as I need to provide to avoid being labelled little dick, is I am genuinaly amazed at the small run and would obviously seriously consider selling my extra one, assuming I haven't already given it away as I normally do with spares (see a nice guy really!)

Thanks to all for the responses, nice to know i can rely on you lot for the info.

cheers Ralph

Can anyone confirm that Barons Of Soul ' You need Love' only 50 copies were pressed, I cannot see it (45 -155) on the discography on Grapevine 2000.  

From what I remember Barons of Soul was only distributed on demo. Issue was withdrawn due to low fi sound quality.
