Still Diggin Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just wondering if any one on here has a sound file for the Festivals 'Not gonna let her' on Smash(2196), Also any info on the group Price exchange Smash(2263), Last 45 on the logo? Excellent deep soul with 'Good love gone bad'. I do have this in my collection, but any info appreciated. Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I remember Boba putting up a want for it some time ago and saying he's never seen a copy. Would love to hear the flip. Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Andy I've never seen one either Andy, just happened to look at the Smash discography and there it was. As you know the A side 'Hey girl' came on Blue Rock, infact I sold one on here a few weeks back, But the flip side on this Smash release is a different title. It Would also be interesting to know if there is any unreleased material with their brief stint with Gordy. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Andy Yep Bob a used to hound me for my copy, but never got round to sorting anything out with him not that convinced on how rare it was, picked it up for 30 quid at a venue round 2001 I put it on ebay 2 or so years ago and got 20 odd quid for it... !

That, too, should have been seen somewhere on the R&B charts at least. In fact, it did so well on a local/regional basis that another Mercury subsidiary based in Chicago, Blue Rock Records, re-released it early in 1969 b/w a new cut, Checkin' Out, as Blue Rock 4076, again with decent local attention but never breaking nation-wide.

The Festivals.mp4 Many thanks for the sound file. Not what I expected really, however there is that kinda bossa nova feel which was infact similar to the the flip of the Blue Rock 45 ' Checkin out', although a bit more prominent on this track. my illusions of a soulfull ballad have been quashed. Thanks Again Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Raresoulsearcher Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I had a red issue until stupidly selling Guy Hennigan 15 odd years ago! I presumed it was a reissue being the later Smash design. Not until I saw a demo, did I realise my mistake. And not knowing it was a different flip! Anyone get a copy and want to part with it. Please contact me. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
