Came out on Ace's Kent records (Town 116) in 1999, Callum - as flip-side to the better known 'Challenge My Love' version by Tobi Lark - and, so far as I'm aware, it was previously unissued. Although I'm certain someone on here will put the record straight if I'm incorrect. As for playing it out.. ABSOTIVELY !! I've previously played it at the Move On Soul 'nites in Coventry and have (had) no qualms in the slightest about playing like (otherwise unissued) 45's. My last gig at Rugby's Benn Hall last month saw me play at least four such records (6T's Anniv. 45's).. All in one set !!

Scans of both sides below.. Will post up soundfiles late this evening

Is this a recent transaction, then ?? Past Month ??

I'd go along with those sentiments - doesn't seem to have enough orchestration synonymous with N.Y. to be a Big Apple sound, methinks.. Either way - feckin' AWESOME tune dave !!

Good luck with this one - I tried to track down a copy during last year, but gave up after a few weeks. Not an expensive 45 by any means but one of those that seem elusive for whatever reason.. Or did when I was looking anyway. Perhaps someone is sitting on a pile of them somewhere.. Kev Draper - as far as I can remember - turned this little gem of a vocal inst. up in the early 90's, but it didn't get any mainstream plays as far as I know. Perhaps Kev has a copy or two ?? Although a member on here, he doesn't use SS on a regular basis.. Maybe someone on here could help you with some contact details ?? Actually a record released to promote a brand of apple !!

Is it the same label as the Bad Weather Inc 45, Tony ?? Record No.101 or 106 perhaps ?? I'm intrigued - even if no-one else is.. Soundclip ??

Thank you for posting the above facts - which are actually some of the factors I used in formulating my sales price. As a point of interest I'm of the belief the Brunswick copy went to a Midlands based collector - for £980. I feel it's very useful to have independant factual reference(s) to items where there are perhaps differences of opinion as to current or realistic values of certain items. Nice one.. PS. I still have a copy of a sales list, from my mate Kyp 'The Faith' Highbury, where he lists a copy of the brunswick LP for sale, stating.. No Cover - don't think it came with one.. £25 !!

I didn't think, for one moment, that your post contained any malice or implied intent - and my level of respect for you is exactly the same - I wished purely to point out the potential psychological knock-on effect where potential buyers are concerned. Although to counter that same point - if someone did want the item they would likely formulate for themselves as to whether or not the price asked was one they would be happy to pay. Particularly true with 'specialist' items such as this.. I do commend you though for your above post and appreciate greatly - though it wasn't required - the apology you include. I'm just please you didn't take offence at my original reply as, again, that was not my intention.. In summary, I think the site itself should be commended for a job well done - we both are more educated now than previously, so all good stuff methinks..

From reading a lot of your postings over the past couple of years or so it was obvious to me you are a serious album collector and know your stuff (for which I respect you 100%) - but must say obviously only to a degree, based on your 'value'. From your comments it is clear you do not own a copy (in any format). My sale price is based on my experience of the LP, in general, over the past few years - I certainly don't 'pluck' prices out of the air, but research as much as possible before I post any sales. I don't know where you get, or on what basis you assume, your value of my item - as you don't quantify your evaluation. And must say, with the greatest of respect, I don't really appreciate the fact that every prospective buyer for this acetate will now automatically be put off (purely by association with your comments) and think I'm out to rip them off after reading your insensitive post. Whereas I personally feel a simple pm to me could have answered your question without any impact to a potential sale on here. Never mind - it's done now. Concerning the 'story' of my item, I think an article produced by John Manship - at the time he was retailing the four track EP's - is best suited to answering that question in full for you.. I don't know if there has ever been a topic thread on here in relation to that story but perhaps some kind, knowledgeable Soul on here could provide a link if there was - or a search of the forums might flag it up. I'll finish by saying how appreciative I am of the scans you posted - particularly the Decca Test Pressing as I hadn't seen it before.. Nice one.

Unfortunately my scanner is playing up at the mo.. Trying to locate the software to reload it. Sorry !! Scrub the above - just located my folder for the Marvin disc..

Interesting to note - my acetate cut is approx 2.15 in duration, fades out at a much more appropriate time & making it sound even better, I think.. But then I would, wouldn't I - I'm biased !!

Nice one Chalky.. Very useful to know that, and will utilise the facility in future postings.. Cheers

Yes.. A soundclip is available to those interested - please pm me with an alternate email addy (can't attach mp3's to pm's on here..) and I'll send it asap. Oops !! Beaten to it. Thanx Bridgey

Unfortunately this is one of the few Deep City 45's I DON'T have.. BUT - it IS on her Deep City LP, which I DO have.. Although the album is a lot more expensive than a copy of the 45 !! Just thought I'd mention it anyway..

The 45 isn't Tony - but she also had an LP release in '67 on the same label.. Can't remember if the cover has her picture on it though.. That said - the pictures you WOULD want are the ones (if they exist) taken during her early career in the pornographic industry !! Her album is all jazz with exception to the last two tracks on side two - namely, both sides of her Epic 45 release !! The LP also saw a CD release (80's I think..) with a bonus track included.. The Star Trek Theme !!
