REAL HUMDINGER / SCOTT’S ON SWINGERS - EDWIN STARR

(WEST GRAND WG 0002S)

UNDER LICENCE FROM UNIVERSAL MUSIC / MOTOWN

We are delighted to announce that this unique RIC-TIC relic will be released on WEST GRAND 7” in June.

Edwin’s vocal on REAL HUMDINGER was recorded just before JJ BARNES recorded his version. JJ’s version was of course released soon after he laid down his vocals, but Edwin’s has been  left unknown and unloved in the tape vaults since 1966. It is not the same backing track as JJ’s record and is a lovely complete vocal. Al Kent told me about this in Detroit in 2018 and since then I have been desperate to hear it. Some incredible sleuthing by Paul Nixon of Cellarful Of Motown led to the master tapes being sourced in Universal’s vast  tape library, and he also found a previously unreleased take of SCOTT’S ON SWINGERS. REAL HUMDINGER was well received by the knowledgeable crowd at Burnley’s Lost Souls event on Sunday when it got a spin.

Both tracks have been licenced from Universal/Motown for back to back release on WEST GRAND release in June.

Prior to that we are making available a limited edition run of advance promotion copies (label below).

These will be despatched at the end of April.

Copies are £25 each plus postage and maximum purchase per customer is 2 copies.

 

Please message me if you wish to place an order.

Many thanks,

Hi  Neil,

I’ve not received the two promos I ordered .
 

I presume they haven’t arrived yet? Or has something gone wrong?

thanks

Hi Pete,

 

We are still waiting for stock to arrive,

Vinyly production is a lengthy process these days. Our manufacturer is on the continent and the bank holiday season has delayed things.

 

All The Best,

 

Neil
