A bit more about the label here and there's already two more releases scheduled for release in 2022 and currently with the manufacturing plant. http://shop.detourrecords.co.uk/epages/es785745.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es785745/Categories/Last_Bastion_Records 1 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tomangoes Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 This is a great tune and done in a way that makes it sound like a new record altogether. Let's face it, the original is one of our crown jewels. Ed 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andybellwood Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 From Richard , Kev, Ginger & Sean "A tremendous reworking by Lou of his huge Northern Soul anthem, discovered by John Anderson at Soul Bowl, and made big by the DJs at the Cleethorpes Pier All-Nighter back in 1975" Richard Searling (B E M, Queens Honours List, 2019) "Lou soulfully rides the groove as if he’s Isaac Hayes auditioning for Blood, Sweat & Tears....Willie Henderson’s All Stars weaved their magic with Lou and discovered a whole new set of fans. A new classic!" Kev Roberts (Wigan Casino/Event Promoter/Radio personality) "The perfect record for a packed dance floor. From deep in the heart of Texas, one of the greats, still is and for ever" Ray 'Ginger' Taylor (The World's no.1 Northern Soul DJ) “The 2004 recording packs just as much as the original 1970 release with a added funkier edge and clarity just right for today's dance scene in both northern and modern rooms and without doubt will become a favourite spin at all venues. This tune will guarantee a dance floor avalanche and then continues to whip the crowd up into a frenzy on the dance floor!” Sean Chapman (Northern Soul & Mod DJ and Record dealer - Chapman Records) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I do appreciate that for small labels the initial outlay can be considerable, and I likewise appreciate the huge effort that undoubtedly has gone into getting this release out there in the first instance (like so many other labels in these musically bountiful times), but please - all of you label owners out there reading this – don't keep take us for mugs. Not wishing to divert the focus too far away from the music being offered - this unreleased and reworked version of that evergreen monster classic is a mighty fine thing! Kudos to all involved.

Russ , all very disheartening to read as the last thing myself (and retailer/distributor Detour Records) want are any dissatisfied customers. The shipping date is visible before committing to pre ordering. Can you please pm me with your order details and I'm gladly arrange cancellation and a prompt refund for you from Detour Records. The vinyl record supply chain issues are now becoming well known & have been documented - I have referred to them on The Last Bastion website http://shop.detourrecords.co.uk/epages/es785745.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es785745/Categories/Last_Bastion_Records/Latest_News For the Lou Pride 45 , the manufacturing plant order was placed many months ago and we had an October availability date which then slipped and slipped ... February 2020 looks like being the worst case scenario and Detour Records and myself would rather under promise hence the February date advertised. As to the 'Safari ' browser issue with the Detour Records sales site , not sure what the issue is as all payments are secure via PayPal. Can you please contact Dizzy @ Detour so he can fully understand the issue and resolve. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'm just dissatisfied that so many small record labels continue to expect customers to buy on 'pre-order'. If X% can be pressed in advance, then get them all done - especially when pressing plants are so in demand and the run is only 300 copies. Given how difficult it is to get time with the pressing plants, not doing such a short run is an opportunity missed. This 'pre-order' nonsense - from all the labels that operate in this way – shows buyers no respect. As for the Detour Records site and its lack of security, just pass on the word, please. Presuming the webmaster/hosting company involved know their stuff, they'll understand. Again - great music, and looking forward to getting my order. However, the 'pre-order' business model – offered by so many small labels these days – sucks. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

As you say Andy delays are well documented in the pressing plants, one reason why pre orders should be held back a little more by all labels not just yours until something more definite from the plants? I wish you and all labels success but with ao many releases, and there are a lot lately, available to pre order it is becoming hard to keep track of it all. Some of the releases are getting hammered everywhere as well and they don't feel much like a new release when you actually get the 45. Anyway back to the music.

Perhaps down to Severn Records being a label that successfully focuses on cd releases for their artistes rather than vinyl Lps & 45s ? Severn Records btw were great to deal with so Last Bastion Records could exclusively licence and in addition to the longer version (which appeared on the 2005 cd) which is the 45 B side , provided the previously unreleased in any format , shorter A side .

Andybellwood Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) After the pre order frenzy - its slowed down a bit but latest from Detour last night is just 1 of the 300 left . Next one from Last Bastion Records (LB 02) will be 1st time on 45 for two 'soulful' tracks from Steve Marriott as a double A side . More details soon.....

Andybellwood Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Getting in and dated with requests to buy as a pre releasepurchase even though its clearly shown as 'sold out'. (There will be no repress). http://shop.detourrecords.co.uk/epages/es785745.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es785745/Products/LOUIMC-45. Sorry to disapoint but every one of the ltd 300 were made available. However a couple of retailers did pre order just a few wholesale which we honoured before we declined further wholesale requests, so all I can suggest is keep your eyes peeled end of Feb onwards .

Ian Smith Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just received my copy of Lou Pride 2004 recording of 'Comun' Home' - a completely fresh take on a classic and in an informative picture sleeve, it's a real collectors' item!
