MD Records - Two Upcoming 45 Releases - Video Interview

View full article

Well done to Des, Mark & Jordan for making these great rare classics to a wider audience. Can't wait to get my hands on my copies.

These landed on the door mat this morning. The Pic sleeves are a great upgrade on the MD offering; full of great information. It would be great to see the same across the MD range. 

It was Shifty I heard first play this at 100 Club in the 90's. He moved his (battered copy) on to Mich H as part of a larger deal. I had a CD of it that we had recorded at a friends house at a pre 100 Club session where Shifty had it covered and played it for us.

Mick wasn't playing it out, I always requested it, but it never got played unfortunately. I also regularly offered to buy it.

Years later (around 2006/7) I cut an acetate from the CD and used to play it out regularly at DDA, Soul or Nothing, Rugby and other venues. I had no idea who it was by and played it as Deep South by Deep South. It's on my Mixcloud from back then. Just as Shifty had done, I played it at a considerable minus speed.

When Dave Thorley turned up a 'real' one quite a while ago and told me who it was by, I stopped playing mine out (still have it)

Brilliant detective work getting this out on a release where the artist get paid. Well done to all.

Shifty had it covered as Royston Vasey....after League of Gentlemen or Chubby Brown?

The studio did some proper stuff, my beady eye has spotted (it's very small) a familiar face on the Fourth Level cover, bottom right

Super presentation lads I must say well one to all involved, another bona fide release where do i sign

The Royston Vasey Male Voice Choir Chalky - great c/u name and typical of Shiftys humour 🤣
