martha star and cressa watson question?

[Dobber]

has anyone ever seen a copy of martha star-sweet temptation in the flesh?

when you play the the martha star and cressa watson versions on youtube they are the same,alas no pic of either singles on youtube or anywhere else for that matter,neither appear on popsike?

it would make sense that it is cressa watson with it being on charay?

so who actually is this tune,and does it exist as a 45?

ward burton is great too...is this the true orig?

lots of threads on this one Dobber, nothing pictorially on the net of the label, but it deffo came out on Charay I believe...

Martha Starrr exists on vinyl, Ady plays it, Butch too. Cressa is an Lp track and the same artist IMO. It's from master tapes if memory serves. It is a different take as one had a longer break.

yeah i reckon the songs are the same! is the lp a compilation thing? and is there a scan of the martha star anywhere?

[Keith Money]

The LP track has the sax bit in the middle removed but the rest sounds the same I think.

Yes Johnny Weston has got one and yes on charay always ask him to play it.. On the lp the break is cut which is quite badly done I think sounds more like a skip

I think John bought Tim Browns copy when he had it on his auction. Tim did have a scan up, but I didn't bother copying it. Was quite a few years ago now.

Went to 100 club ages back,i'd just got the LP. (i'd never heard cress watson before)....Butch spun Martha Starr ,i runs up to the decks and said something like,have you put a sax break in it,.....wont say what Butch said....lol....sold the LP on here a while back.The credits mention a Bob Jones....wondered if it was Dr Bob.?

There's a scan in one of Tim Brown's "Rare Soul Review's" if I remember rightly, or did I imagine it?
