Cheers Sammy

Isn't there also one on Green Spectrum or am I suffering

from my usual tricks playing memory.

Isn't the green one a different record... do It.? Same again Red/crimson issue.

I'm Gone and Do It both came out on the Mauve Spectrum label, Do It also came out on UK Action and I think French Vogue.

Think the Blue (boot/reissue) came out around 78, and also think the Billy Sha-Rae version of I'm Gone was played before Eddie Parker as the boot appeared before RS started playing Eddie Parker.

Think Billy Sha-Rae was first played at Cleethorpes and then Wigan championed Eddie Parker.

Wasn't Billy Sha-Rae a pseudonym for Jack Ashford (thought I read that somewhere about 30 years ago)

Here,s the man.

Which one? Could you highlight "the man" please as I am not sure which one you are referring to.

Could be the one in the middle or if not it could be one of the others, or not.Maybe ?

Off topic song title wise but I do have a copy of 'Do It' on belgian Arsa (with pic sleeve).

 

He was born William Daniel Wilson from Uniontown near Pittsburgh. Lead member of Soul Congress (as in Alans pic above) who were hired as sessionists.

I´ve got the Arsa copy and was told that's the song in its rarest issue format, is it true ? Love the label name.

Don't honestly know. I just picked up "Do It" on Arsa as part of the pic sleeve 45 book I was working on. Only cost me £20-30 I think. Dont know if I'm Gone ever came out on the label though I think it may have done

I would imagine as he is the lead artist he is the prominent one in the middle

He's not on that pic...He went.

My Arsa 45 - anyone know if his other stuff is on the same label?
