SHEFFSOUL

..never knew joe Douglas had been booted..shit..just checked mine..its a BOOT!..and ive had it approx 25 years..could have sold it many times over..so most thought it was original...

i think there are a few like that..Detroit landapples for one..

usually non originals are identifiable by a series of label ,matrix ,pressing flaws..which are the hardest to decipher? and are ANY..foolproof...

hmm...always wondered...i first remember it from Samanthas/JV...

finally found some history..but the track PDRFM..mustve first been played almost as a new release (bit like the skullsnaps) so who first played it on the northern scene? was it from the album, which may have sparked the UK 45 release?

WHITE/..WOW..GREAT VOICE , IN FACT A GREAT 45.. hmm...can't find the thread...

VERY GOOD!!...I ALSO LIKE HIS 2005 VERSION FROM THE 'KEEP ON BELIEVING' ALBUM..AND ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE RIP OFF GLOLIGHT INSTRUMENTAL...

I'M ALMOST CERTAIN IT WAS '74..BECAUSE I WAS WITH DAVE RAISTRICK (WHO HAD A COPY) IN BLACKPOOL..JUST COME OUT OF SCOEYS..AND (WE KNEW IT WAS A BOOT) WERE CHATTING ABOUT LABEL DESIGN AND DAVE COMMENTED..' EVEN THO ITS A BOOTLEG..IT'LL BE WORTH SOMETHING ONE DAY..' IT JUST STUCK IN MY MIND....

LEARNING TO TRUST MY MAN AND PLEASE DONT RUN FROM ME.WERE THERE EVER US RELEASES 45/LP? IF NOT WHY? ANYONE KNOW? IS THIS THE SAME GC OF PARLIAMENTS/FUNKADELIC?

wow..must be good then..any chance of uncovering? or posting the track?

i think you've already figured it out..

its the same version as on wand..a complete mispress..both labels are on steady and credit lois lee...

dunno but i have the mis-press which has the luv buggs on flip..

Stratoliners was on a '74 winstanley list..so it must have been known by then..even if only a few..

!!!!!!!!!!!!

well..i could use a track-list..wanna see if i can hunt some of these mothers down!!..great mix...Elvis

i first heard it around 75 prob mecca..then maybe at samanthas..i remember later that Kev roberts had a copy for sale at a Notts palais all dayer..£30..which i thought was a bit steep at the time...just shows you...

well..i had some tasty unknowns courtesy of the 100 for £5 from soul bowl. mid to late 70's i got Chris Cerf and promptly c/u as Shane Martin. lo and behold a mate came round to my house to listen to 45's , i played it an to his amazement said it was Sam's top sound..Len Barry...i took it to Cleethorpes still c/u and Johnathon Woodliffe wanted to buy it..we looked at trades but the deal faded..anyway Sam announced the real artist!!..i had no intention to uncover it..i never understood that..eventually i sold it to Kev Roberts..it got pressed!..

...i was there also..and i seem to remember it was summer ..cant remember a fight but as i was there on my own ( from Skegness) and had been biffed about before by Boston lads i kept well out of trouble..i'm sure Poke DJ'd as he ran a quiz over the MIC..asking if anyone could name the artist & following song..it was Anderson bros ..i seemed to be the only one who knew it..and rcvd an LP on dynovoice prob the Toys..as my prize. Major wore an emerald green jumpsuit..and signed autographed photos after the show in a small sideroom..we were allowed in , one at a time..ML looked really pissed off, so i uttered thanks and scrammed..i got the last train back to Skeg..and i think it was 1975..

yep..a massive Wigan sound..both sides were available by Russ on an EMI disc..

ok..but whats the relevance to the logo styles? staggered or straight..why the difference, is either rarer/more collectable? promos obviously..

wondered which if either are considered more collectable or rarer..

..is there any prev owner name in the run out?

kim tolliver..fabulous..

..all i can say is....i thought it was a black singer guesting on some tracks!..til i realised it was Kim Wilson on all tracks..incredible..very Stax sounding..beautiful songs..very different from their more well known powerhouse blues stuff..deffo worth checkin out...
