The Tempest

I would love to of seen a pic of this group as below is one of my favourite oldies . There were many groups by the name Majestics. They recorded the soul classic "(I Love Her So Much) It Hurts Me" b/w "Girl Of My Dreams" on Linda 121, both songs written by Arthur Robles, produced for Faro Productions and released in the fall of 1965. The same songs (minus the horn intro on "It Hurts Me") had a second release as by David and Ruben on Warner Bros 7316, this time listing production by Eddie Davis. A third release on Rampart in 1969 reused the original Linda stampers. David and Ruben were Art Robles' brothers. Their group was generally known as 'Art's Majestics'. Interestingly, there was another release by the Majestics on Linda 111, "Strange World" / "Everything Is Going to Be All Right" (by Chick Carlton, produced by Bobby Gross), but this is on the blue Linda label, distributed by Scepter, NY in 1963. Supposedly, this was another band entirely, black, not Hispanic.

A record that will forever remind me of Glenrothes YMCA , happy day's indeed , cost me a fiver at the time too

Let's not forget the reissue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody know a current realistic price ? Ta !

Always thought this was first played at Cleethorpes ?

Pretty sure Colin Law use to play this out in the early / mid eighties around Scotland , will dig me tapes out , but it never really took off if memory serves ,

When you look at Debbie Taylor on Discogs and go into her release of " I Don't Wanna Leave You " three versions come up , one of which is on an acetate 12 " , but no further info . So I was wondering if this was or there is a longer version of " Just Don't Pay " . I have'nt heard the Shotgun imprint .

Being a big fan of this lady's vocal talents it appears that appart from the 89 ' 12 " with Jeff Perry there is an acetate 12" of her Arista debut with a long / short version , anybody got one , verify ?

Big fan of the man himself !!! , Great record Alessandro Randazzo Profile: Teddy Randazzo (May 13, 1935 - November 21, 2003) was a (Brooklyn) NYC born pop songwriter with italian origins, who composed 1960s hit songs such as "Goin' Out of My Head", "It's Gonna Take a Miracle", and "Hurt So Bad".
