Hi All,

 

Commands - Hey It's Love / No Time For You on Wax Museum ... ok to play out?

 

What's the opinion on this one? I've got a copy of The Commands 'Hey It's Love' / 'No Time For You' on Wax Museum label. I stupidly (I think) bought it a few years back when I could have easily bought a copy at the same time on Back Beat for about the same price. I was new to buying vinyl for playing out at the time so put it down to naivety I guess. Consequently I have never played it out. What's the general consensus on this particular issue? - it seems to be listed in most if not all of the group's discographies. Is it legit to play out? Or am I likely to get my reputation damaged by the soul police? (and trust me, they patrol very diligently at venues up here in Scotland as I have discovered in the past year or two!). I would welcome views on this one as I wouldn't like to think I could be playing it instead of keeping it firmly at the bottom of an old cardboard box at home! It's a lovely double sider.

 

Cheers,

John.

Dubious reissue (aka boot) for the US Beach scene.

 

I'd tie it to a brick and throw it in the cut, before playing it out.

I guess that answers my question. Kinda backs up what I thought. I'd better start looking for one on Back Beat sometime then, it's not that expensive I don't think .. is it?

Just happened to be looking in Mr Manships book when this post went up ....it is in there on wax museum....but would agree with Mr Dog !! ...if you are being watched ...........get it on Backbeat or Dynamic ....i would think you'd get a clean copy on Backbeat anywhere between £20 - £40.......small price to save a lynching !!!

Yeah, that's the thing I find strange about this particular record. It seems to be listed in many places as being legit (but how can it be? it's an 80s reissue or something like that). It also sells for anything up to about 20 or 30 quid. Not much difference from Back Beat issue. Madnesss!!!!

chris of the wax museum is a big commands fan, i used to buy a lot from him and he made me a CD of all their tracks as a favor once, he even used one of the pic sleeves to make a cover

 

p.s. if you play this record out, demons come up and pull you down into a gate to hell that opens up under your feet

Well I've got news for Old Nick - I won't be playing it out now, I've just used it as a plate for my suppertime treat. It's covered in bits of melted cheese and toast crumbs!

The original issue's on Dynamic, set you back £75/80 quid

Would like to here the O'Jays version of "no time for you" out. Slightly faster.

The O'Jays is absolutely Piedpipertastic

Just f*cking play it!

p.s. it's worth no more than £10 on that label.

But play it anyway.

Sorry ignore that just got whipped up into a frenzy with the Fluff Stuff !!!

Chris Beachley of the Wax Museum record store in Charlotte put the record out, presumably a genuinely leased reissue. The record is excellent and deserves occasional outings in public. The OVO connoiseurs would expect to hear it on Back Beat or Dynamic but if you were playing it to a wedding reception disco in the local sports club, nobody would fault you but someone might say hasn't the DJ got good taste...

Chris used to run a really neat store with loads of good tunes, many in quantity, but I'm not sure if he's still in business. Any dealer who provides a comfy armchair for the Mrs is welcome to a slice of my pay cheque...

he is still selling records and still does a private list too

Chris and the store are still there; I was at the Wax Museum in April. Store stock itself these days is a bit disappointing, decent bits 'back room' or online sales. He did used to move some pretty good items at one point in the past but quieter of late from what I hear. He had some good original photo / poster memorabilia etc.

Heard mixed reviews about Mr Beachley as an individual from local old musicians, could be hearsay, either way there's no denying he has been a well known figure in record sales / beach music on the local beach scene for decades.
