Does anyone know the cover up names (and maybe the DJ who played them first) for:

Masquaders - The same thing - Soultown

The M.B.S. - Another day - B-Jet

TIA

Hi Benji,

I didn't think the Masqueraders had been covered, I have only ever known it by its proper name - mind you the way my memory is now could very well be wrong.

What is M.B.S. short for?

Best wishes,

Richard

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

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.

Guessing a bit here Benji, but assuming that Guy H c/u the Masquaders it would likely have been in the Stafford era(but not certain) Sam was still playing 70s then I think, so unless he had it before that time, I would have thought it unlikely that he would have covered up a known record after then . But thats only me surmising, so I know I've not helped you at all, sorry.

I PLAYED THE mb,S ON B-JET ABOUT 15 years ago COVERED UP AS ..JUST WAITING FOR YOU BY DOUGLAS B McDONALD

found it on my first hunt in florida..

took the artist name from McDonald Douglas DC-10..as in the airliner I flew into florida on ...kinda tied in with the B-JET sad or what???haha

Awesome record! Whats a current value? (not a projected one if everyone started playing it blah blah )

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.

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!
