Why Betty Boo, no one of a kind release for it, not a double sider...

When will we know? Wednesday?

 

Peter

 

We might as well wait until xmas now.

Manship could sell advent calendars and we could open a little window every morning, the last window would reveal the identity of the record.

But I suppose some people would cheat and open the last window first.

:wink:

I know thatbut all im saying is how do you define classic, would it be the early days or a modern day classic?

But it's a classic that's been 'one of a kind for near 40 years' Chalky, so it's hardly going to be a modern day classic is it.

 

Professionals on coloured vinyl I reckon.

So it's already a classic, or two classics back to back, known since 1973 or before, and the format is "unique" so it must be a 45 containing two tracks which became popular via another format, such as LP tracks or acetates or whatever.

A "unique format" can't mean something on a different label or a promo copy so we should be thinking about LP tracks...

I disagree, like someone said Salvadors WD, that is a unique format as it's never been found on a promo before

..and "nearly four decades" means almost forty years so I think we're looking at early 1974 at the earliest so I reckon it was something which was big at the Mecca or the Casino.

We're getting closer now.

Think of two tracks that went big at that time which weren't issued on 45s.

I can, but they aren't going to be hotly collected: AOT Rhino and Six O Clock  :lol:

Possibly Pete but if Manship is being precise format really means the product, not a label variation or whatever. I hope his description isn't leading us up the wrong path.

 

Think of two tracks from circa 74 which weren't on a 45. And too early for a 12" so it has to be LP tracks or something only known via acetates. But there are two classics back to back so it shouldn't be too difficult.... but I'm stuck!

Now the Professionals "Thats Why I Love You", I have checked JM Millionaires guide and the picture on the copy in there is different to one on Discogs. The Discogs one has a marked / scuffed label. The one in JM guide does not. Does that mean there are tow copies at least?

 

Disccogs one is below

Ha ha, I actually thought of them for a moment, with 'Bubblegum Breakthrough' on the flip.

But you;'re right, he wouldn't call them "classics" I don't think.

'Sweet Sherry' would fit the bill but I'm sure it went big before 74.

I understand it's "The Wigan Joker" by the All Night Band.....

 

Steve, that wasn't really a "classic", it just had a cult following with connoisseurs  :wink:

Ok another wild punt and shoot me down. The Magicians "Just A Little Faith and Understanding" / The Tandels "Is it Love Baby" 

 

Two of the vocals to Double Cookin' on a 10" Acetate

 

 

Not 4 decades for that.

 

And John did say it was a 45.

Something like 'Baby Hit And Run' or 'Lend A Hand' would almost fit the bill (big in 73 or 74 I think) if a US test press or promo 45 has been found but it would need to be two classics back to back.

I was replying before I'd seen the updated description.

The gold vinyl Professionals hasn't been around for 40 years has it?

The same for the likes of Suspicion, Magic Touch, neither have they existed as a proper release.

If John is to be taken at his word - "almost four decades" - it has to be something which surfaced after late 1973 (so probably 1974 or 1975) so we should focus on the Mecca and Casino period.

And if the newly discovered 45 is a "unique format" it must be tracks which were known via LP tracks or acetates ...or even early 12" singles.

And he did say TWO classics.

With all those clues it shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down.

So how come we're all stuck ?

Hi Paul,

 

I can't be sure he necessarily means format in this sense.  I still think he's talking about something like The Honey Bees 'Let's Get Back Together' on Wand as opposed to Garrison.

I was wondering how everyone is stuck, my knowledge is very limited compared to most on here! I guess if someone does know they will keep quiet so they don't spoil JM's announcement on Friday.

 

if '73/'74 is the time frame, then LP tracks could be it. Giving up now, will just until Friday and look forward to the posts of "why didn't I think of that" or "is that all" or OMG holy shit where has that been!"

John has already said "a one of a kind 45 for 4 decades". That to me says it isn't an acetate or lp track.

 

Hello Chalky, he said this 45 is unique on this "format" so that implies these tracks weren't previously known via a 45.

Unless John's words are misleading it suggests LP tracks, acetates or even 12" singles.

Someone should ask him if his description is precise.

EDIT: I just read his description again... he doesn't say this new discovery is a 45, he said it was a one of a kind 45 but his new discovery is a unique format ...so it could reverse what I said above, it could even mean he has a 12" of something known as a rare 45 - and that could imply early disco soul tracks.

It's not very clear.

Wasn't there some LP track on Wyndcote or summat....maybe a 45 of that......can't remember it now without engaging my brain cells, and they are currently on a 'go slow' due to chocolate rationing :lol:

 

'Jumping At The Go-Go', the only 7" was a Soussan bootleg.

 

He did the same with 'I'm Your Pimp'.

The way i read it Paul is it is.an issue or demo of the previous one of a kind 45, depending on what the 45 is.

There cant be many 45's that is a double sider and has remained a one off since the first ten years of the scene.

What a downer (not really!), no Sandy Golden then!

 

On the basis of his new description my new bet then will be acetate...a acetate of a track that before was a one 45 only game. So which big classics from the early-mid seventies are one copy only still ? ? ?

 

Especially for those dedicated global Northern Soul collectors who seek the ultimate rarities, coupled with unrivaled reputation and desirability.
