I particularly like his later sides, including "Better Believe It" (link attached), "Just Like The First Time" and the ballad "Bless Your Little Heart". There was a great compilation called Better Believe It: The Cream Of The 70s Sides issued by Westside in 2000, which included the bizarrely titled "Watchin' Johnny Carson Thru' My Toes"

Trouble Trouble was original called "Listen To Me Girl" recorded in the same sessions as the Nu-Ron's "All My Life" & "I'm A Loner" - We found the tapes, mixed and mastered the tracks. Take sheet attached. Accuracy is key on these releases.

Two in One ; the Rotations 'trying to make you my own' rather singular singing stil resonates in my head as to what other tune it reminds me off... To link it to a specific singer if ever... Suddenly Charles Lamont and the Extremes 'I Got to Keep Movin'' on Challenge came up as contender worth checking... If ever it could be a comparative contender. And well... Digging further into it on another 'recent' theory raised on 45cat.com about Charles Lamont being in the most dis-believable way IMHO one and the same as Johnny Olenn & the Extremes on Dee Gee and Entree.. it begged for further exploration. Especially as Johnny Olenn is a well known Rock'n'Roll figure, His version of 'keep on movin'' is nothing like the Charles Lamont one although the same song but most of all the singing is not at all the same and Johnny Olenn's singing never a match. Plus he is not black nor impressing to sing like one ! So I questioned the OP theory directly on 45cat.com proposing them both being one and the same singer. Even if both were backed supposedly by a group called the Extremes (which is clearly a tongue in cheek appropriation from the second to the first) indicating that there's a link between them two records. FWIW the Johnny Olenn's cut was registered under the 'Symbol' Buck ram copyright company in November 1964 but without real trace of release or radio 'air play' charts to attest of it's date of release while the Charles Lamont is 4 Star Sales Co. & Lenoir one by March 1965 has it's Monarch matrix Δ 56753 ! Charles Ingersoll the composer (being the link) in my guess could be Charles Lamont (alias) real name. So Charles Ingersoll could have proposed this composition of his first to Buck Ram proprietor of Dee Gee and Entree records who then got Johnny Olenn & the Expressions to sing it and released first if ever. Thereafter Charles Ingersoll could have cut another deal with Bobby Sanders to sing and release it on Challenge backed with another of his composition 'Doin Mickey's jerk'. Introducing Charles Ingersoll to Bobby Sanders future projects on his Soultown stable and the later Canterbury & Minit ventures. There and then Charles Ingersoll would soon become a one time member of the Younghearts and so also maybe of the L.A. Tempos for example. And if that is him (maybe only once again) he could then be the one singing on their side 'Sad Sad Memories' released on Soultown or Canterbury... thoughts anyone ?

Hi can you pm me

Baby you got it I'm the one who knows Catch you on the rebound are my personal favourites

I'm no specialist of UK gear but I noticed that too. But what an odd thing to stuck on an EMI acetate label on a single sided vinyl test press then ? Or was that a common UK EMI practice ? Some of the French pre-releases 45's made from UK EMI & Co. 45's were occasionally solid center single sided too FWIW... What is the machined Matrix of the TMG ? To compare could maybe tell us something. Then I was also surprised by the glue smudge over the 'crinkled' outer label ring that could indicate some DIY amateur job... But that would prove to be a lot of fuss for a rather common record. But like sewing patches and all required a lot of time from those who did have more time for their passion than they had money. I know I did. Although I never 'dressed' my records. Too much respect for that.

I think this "Two Time Loser" is a great record by him! Also his "I Think You've Got Your Fools Mixed Up" is another goodie!

Did uk acetates have that crinkled edge around the centre like a uk 45? it’s look like a blank test press with a emi label stuck over it?

I'm a fan of the Traitors series, I've enjoyed both UK series, US , New Zealand and the Australian series 1 and I've just finished series 2 on BBC I Player. Wow this second series will take some beating. Rodger the host is brilliant, for me the best host of them all. The contestants were really stupid on this one. I've never shouted NO NO you stupid so & so as much as I did at this lot. Actually I used stronger language than stupid so & so.
