What is M.B.S. short for? Best wishes, Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Benji Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 What a useful site! Hi Benji - the MB's was covered up...can't remember as what...wasn't it a Rob Marriot spin?! The Albanians was GuyH's tune. d. Dave, your site is useful but not if access from the office PC is blocked! Thing is, I have both records and both have visible distinct cellotape residues in the run out grooves. They had been played covered up at one time or the other. I know that my copy of the Masquaders once belonged to Soul Sam but did he played it covered up? M.B.S. is for Modern Blues Sound. A very obscure record that is one of my alltime favourites. Don't know if RM spun it. I first heard it on a tape recording of the 1990 Yarmouth Weekender radio station, it may has been Rob who played it (uncovered I shall add). Am just trying to know a bit more about the history of two of my most beloved records Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Am just trying to know a bit more about the history of two of my most beloved records I know what you mean Benji, I'm a sucker for cover up names. I have to confess I have never heard of Modern Blue Sound, is it on refosoul so I can check it out. Masqueraders is one of my all time favourites - definitely couldn't afford it when I was collecting - and I bet nothing has changed! Best wishes, Richard.

But thats only me surmising, so I know I've not helped you at all, sorry. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Corbett80 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Awesome record! Whats a current value? (not a projected one if everyone started playing it blah blah ) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tony Smith Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Masquaders on Soultown was massive for Guy at Stafford c/u as the Albanians, Rob and myself both had the M.B's at the same time, it was c/u briefly by Butch, Malcolm Hayes I think? I last played it out at Burnley last year to divided opinion. Edited February 5, 2009 by Tony Smith Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I taped Guy's spot at Stafford mid 1985 and although I can't find the tape to check his exact words he introduced it as 'all the way from Chicago, the Albanians - That's The Same Thing' A few years ago I asked him about it and why the Albanians and the Chicago tag; he told me he decided to cover up a record as the Albanians whilst on holiday in Corfu looking over at Albania!
