CAPT JESSE FOUNTAIN - I'M MARCHIN' - CAMEO                                                                                               EX            15

Someone paid something like £800 for an acetate of this on ebay recently thinking it was an unreleased track...

THE HUMAN BEINZ - NOBODY BUT ME - CAPITOL                                                                                            EX            15

Needs no introduction

 

 

JIMMY RADCLIFFE - MY SHIP IS COMING IN - AURORA                                                                                    EX            30

A stunning record in every way...actually I love The Walker Brothers version of this, and Walter Jackson's, but this one tops the lot

 

 

BILLY WATSON - GET MYSELF TOGETHER - BARRACUDA                                                                             EX            25

Hi Pete ... Not sue that the facts on Don Hart are correct ?

 I always thought they changed it from "Soldier coming home " to " Keep on holding on"  to try and help sales and steer from the political Vietnam message ?

 Either way .. the one you have does seem to be the harder of the two though .

And the Thrills has one of the all time great beat ballads on flip, Underneath My Make Up, on one of the early Kent LP's and introduced me to the slower sides.

 

Amazing record
