yeah

me 2 ,

They are obviously bootleg copies boys, those Scepters that is, if Mr Manny isn't aware of it ....

I have one and yes it did get a US release..think the auction is misleading..maybe to get more for it John Manship should know about it as its listed in the price guide.

Hope you are well Mr Hudson, sound files over this weekend.

Pretty sure when it was played in the 80's it was played as an unissued track, I found it in the states about 84 thinking I had a one off just for everyone to say no loads now around!

Not sure where the unissued bit came, Mr Croasdell any comments or is it my memory again!

You know what i can't bloody remember. I think I thought it was LP only and put it on an acetate, it was mainly because Guy used to play that other version which i can't remember either

That starts to make sense Ady, Guy was playing the much inferior Cleveland Robinson was he not?? One of my many nearly finds only to find I had been well beaten, again!!

Hope its the usual top night tonight, can't make next month either, plans afoot to make every one from April though, if only for the family Sunday lunch which I think should be compulsorary after every one. See you soon

Trade Martin

all so a version by Chuck Jackson lp only... i think

Trade Martin

none of the other versions are a patch on the dance-ability of the Tommy Hunt

I Agree...........

I Agree...........

I have to agree on Trade Martins' version being the most danceable(for me the best version i have heard).......I must add also, i had a work song by Tommy Hunt. Mine was a demo, so was it actually issued? anyone have an issue? As that might be why peeps are saying never issued int' states.

Yes, it was issued. Two issue copies have sold on eBay during the past 2 weeks.

Below are scans of both the demo and issue:

This was pressed up on the other side of the Ivorys ? before it was found to be on a 45 , there are loads of versions one by Georgie Fame .

Only my opinion but Cleveland Robinson is the version , I can remember Guy hammering it , it was his biggest tune for a few weeks.

Around the same time 'The pretty part of you' was getting played C/U as Chuck Jackson ,this was unreleased, anyone know why it was covered up ? Ady?

Because we hadn't secured the rights at first and there were some dodgy people about who would have dived in and take advantage of the initial work. Same with Torture being accredited to Jackie Day originally.

You're right guys I'm having a senior moment.. I have them quite often.

Yes it was issued on Scepter 1231 in 1962 I was only 9 then, so please forgive me.

No excuse! I thought you were the arch-deacon of this stuff......?

You'll be suggesting that Toby Turner never came out next..........

Scepter copy`s seem quite common going by this thread,

i`ve also got the "Tommy Hunt/Ivorys" on a Kent German test pressing,

Ady can you remember how many of these you pressed up.

The whole pressing was done in germany or somehere abroad and that's an original test pressing very rare about 3-10 copies done of each but not all, some of the later ones were without tps.

Might be worth mentioning in your auction text though that "How Young Is Young" wasn't issued on a 45 in the US. Actually, I don't think it ever was released anywhere apart from on that french EP (and on a latter day Stardust 45)? Can't find any US release info for it, not on any of his LPs either. It was recorded during the same March 1964 session where he also cut "It's All A Bad Dream" and "You Made A Man Out Of Me", but "How Young Is Young" seems to have only appeared on this french EP.
