When you interviewed Eddie Singleton he said he thought he might have recorded J D Bryant in NY. Also, aren't Audio Star acetates out of NY?

Spooky!

I think this may be him https://www.allmusic.com/artist/moses-smith-mn0000498718 Probably best known for: The Girl Acroos the Street - Dionn Come On Let Me Love You / Keep On Striving - Cotillion Try My Love - previously unreleased

Yes.

you're beginning to sound like Chalky

Has there been an equivalent happening in Chicago? Or Detroit, Boston etc for that matter.

did you, or any one else for that matter, get recompense from him?

Would you be able to upload something to YouTube and then inform you to get it included in RS? I loaded scans to Mel Britt earlier out of curiosity and it worked fine.

As an ardent sniffer myself, I agree but if you can get 60's one they do lose it's pungency over time; I think some of the chemicals they are made from 'dry out' and they become more brittle. I remember back in the 80's Jah Tubby's wouldn't cut an old acetate with a new track because it blunted the cutting head.

Not very practicable advice, but if you do sniff them the old acetates lose their 'wax crayon' smell over time. However if you hold them up to a light and look at the very edge rim the 60 ones are very dark blue and sometimes dark green. The 80's ones are dark purple.

"We're the Vondells & so are our wives!"

Thanks for the info. So they were AKA the Fantastic Vondells too.

If my memory serves me right he got those in 89 or 90 from a man sporting a toupee from Dayton Ohio. Where did Gary Rushbrooke get his from years earlier?

I'd double check any 10" acetate especially if it had been 'discovered' in recent years; bear in mind Transco stopped making 'dinked' 7" blanks quite a while ago. I don't think you can buy them now

No, Adam Faith

Wasn't he selling an acetate of JR - The Trill of Loving You, when the original studio acetate had been in Andy Rix's possession for around a decade?

I don't think so, King Kolax was recording in the fifties and the Marvello recordings were between 61 and 65.

John's not on here anymore is he?

1) Has anyone ever made contact with a member of the Vondells 2) Were they definitely from Dayton Ohio? 3) What year was 'Hey girl you've changed' released? 4) Are all the records released on Airtown on vinyl? 5) Are there any other releases on Airtown Custom?

It was after 26 June 1968

I know someone who's dog has sat on them for longer than that!

Were those on JM's 2 x 10" ?

Kenny Smith - What's her name ?

It was played a bit at Cleethorpes Winter Gardens around 1982/3. I've also heard the other side "Without your love" played, but I can't remember when & were exactly.
