PERI-TONE 101974 format 45 single

thanks mike

Can't believe how many different labels he recorded on - Peritone, Back Beat, Quazar, Red Sun, Yellow Horizon, Feron, Mercury, Paradise, Phil LA Of Soul, Jetstream, Fair Play, Sophie + some others that I can't remember at the moment

I can't believe this is the only reference to this single by the man, shares the same b side as 4 corner get down which seems to be more available than this perhaps it was shelved and 4 C's issued instead?

No mention in Manships guide either

I've been after a copy for a while. Seems to be tough to find. ps Still after one

he had an extremely long career -- early '60s to '90s

Looking for that one since years, the last one on soulsource went for 200 quid...but I was too late

Still want one....

Nice early one of his on Lock-Key for the R&B/Popcorn crowd, love playing this one out

"Big Sam" is a great one and mighty tough to turn up even in Houston.

Quite tough, Pointman. I turned mine up in fairly rough but playable shape in Denmark of all places - though it did come from an American mate here who's an obsessive digger when he's back home, most likely came out of New York somewhere. 

The biggest gap in my collection is an all-embracing Oscar Perry comp. He's well overdue for a career perspective.

really, spill the beans Paul!

I seem to remember a CD revue in "In The Basement" mag some years ago of Oscar Perry but wether this included the Peri Tone tracks I'm not sure.

I"ll try and find it.

 

Cheers Paul

There are two "Crazy Cajun" CDs but they do not cover all of his stuff

 

Quite rightly the man deserves a career retrospective what do you think Ian? ;-)

Yep just found one(vol1)on UK Edsel reviewed in Ãn The Basement" mag 15 from 1999

Tracks on that one taken from 73-77 though not featuring his northern tracks.

Not sure whats on vol 2.

Think theres a US comp as well but featuring later material ?

 

Cheers Paul

I decided I'll take offers on my copy. 

 

Hope it's okay to post this in the thread. I apologize if it's frowned upon.
