Marshman Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Not meaning to 'stir the pot' so to speak but I recently had a demo and sound quality on it was fine. So while demos are generally accepted as having lesser sound quality - it doesn't apply to all of them. I know that probably hinders more than helps but don't discount all demos out of hand - there are some 'good' ones out there....or 1 at least Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 These were pressed at two Decca plants. Gloversville NY and Pinckneyville IL. Pinckneyville used a ◆ symbol at the end of the b-side master number. Gloversville used a ✤ symbol at the end of the b-side master number. It would be interesting to find out if one of the plants was responsible for the poor quality pressings and the other for the better ones. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Thanks for that Gareth My demo has the ✤ (as below) and sounds fine, although my wife claims I'm deaf I checked on youtube and found 2 posts by John Manship of the different pressings. To me, the one with the ✤ sounds better than the one with ◆. However, as mentioned, I am selectively deaf.

Popular Post Zed1 Posted March 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yet another Fantastic piece of Northern Soul that sadly doesn't get anywhere near the plays it deserves because the Jukeboxes see fit to play the same tired old crap instead. 6 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tony Smith Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The MCA repress had the same fault, so I think it’s not down to stampers/ and pressing plants a flawed master recording, unlike the copy Ady C. found which has a different vocal take and much better mix Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The tape we used on the Kent LP-Footstompers or Floorshakers was a good one of the 45 version 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Ady, did you find the alt version on tape or acetate? I recall Nancy Yahiro once found an acetate of a different mix. Think I got it on CD somewhere. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ady Croasdell Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Acetate, same bunch as Ben E King. Nancy may have had a tape of that Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
