Bit of a mystery this one. The record came out on RCA in the States, in the UK RCA was distributed by Decca at the time, which explains the Decca test pressing label, but as far as I know, this record never actually came out in the UK - unless it's undocumented. It's not a publishers acetate either. If anyone hasn't heard it - it's a brilliant female group midtempo sound. (sound clip a few posts down)

Hang on a sec Kev and I'll post it up. Yes it will be for sale.

By the way, where it says "Trevor" on the label - this guy must have been a regular disc cutter because I had an Advision acetate of "I can't turn you loose" and his name was on there as well.

Great record one of my favs, got it on the rca release, very strange release that one, nice one pete

Hi Pete - what marking are on it that suggests UK made rather than US?

Just interested!

P.S What are you going to sell it for?

I just know that that is what UK Decca acetates look like Steve - plus the fact that it's the same cutter as did another one I had from Advision Studios in London - I'm sure there's a scan of it up on here somewhere, I'll try and find it.

What's astonishing is that nobody bid against me on ebay - either nobody spotted it, didn't know it or just wasn't interested in it.

Steve here is another UK Decca acetate I found on popsike, note the name Trevor again

Had one in my sales box for ages---may still be there

Nice record--as Harry said came out on RCA?--Demo did anyway--never seen an issue

Yeah I've got the demo too - never seen an issue either but there's bound to be one I reckon. Books at 150 issue 85 demo, I'd ask 50/60 for the demo but I'd want more for the acetate

looks as if decca were actually thinking of putting this out in the uk in the 60s

as pete says decca marketed rca stuff in the uk ( 1957 to 1969). I got a mate of mine

locally a black issue for 100quid i think, coz he collected black issues. also mick smith

had a copy at one time

It's also possible that this was cut with a view to be covered in the UK by a British artist. I once had an original Belinda acetate of "Let's Go Somewhere" by R. Dean Taylor (which wasn't released here until 1974), and I'm led to believe that it was cut for the likes of David Garrick or Beryl Marsden to get some idea how to cover it. Both these cover versions were released in the UK in 1966.

I remember that Gene. But this isn't a publishers acetate like yours was, it's a straight Decca acetate - there's no publishing info on the label at all.

I've decided to keep this after all...

I have the RCA demo of this for sale for £50 if anyone's interested

Hi Pete,

I'm positive this was played at the Birch in Ashton under Lyne's Thursday night sessions around 92/93.

ATB,
