Tony Smith

Original, definitely, I've one identical to this and the demo, same dead wax markings and styrene.

I didn't know that, that might explain the acetate that came out of the Carlin music archive that Ady C found.

Rosette "Circa" copy is west coast and styrene. Detroit is vinyl and Bell Sound stamped.

I remember Kitch selling a copy to fund a trip to the states, guess what was one of the first records he found on that trip?

Please no more! awful both sides, always has been.aaaarrgh!!!

Ion T had this L.P. back the mid-80's and used to play the Illuminations version of the Tempts song.

I also played this before Dave, after hearing it via Brad who I think sold one to Guy H. I've had 2 copies, the last one I gave to Marco Santucci who I believe traded it on.....what's the going rate now?

There was 2 rooms running, the basement with Butch, Tim, Guy etc playing current stuff, and the "Wheel" room playing er "Wheel" tunes!

The song is "Baby, Since You Went Away" also done by Doug Banks on Argo, don't know this version though.

H.B. Barnum?

There was one sold on here a few years back £2.5k if I remember rightly.

That's a real shame- RIP Kell Osbourne.

It's gone now

Quite agree, wouldn't have called the Norfolk Village 2-step, definitely more of a crossover place.

I seem to recall "Am I The Same Girl" Barbara Acklin/Young Holt getting hammered as well....

Not that I had anything to do with that scene, but "Everybody Loves..." is the one for me at least.

I remember it being popular with the 2-step/rare groove scene back in the early 90's in London, I wasn't too impressed with it myself, not my cup of tea at all.

I've never seen a demo either...

Roger Banks used to play "Count of Love" c/u as Roy Hamilton many moons ago, as for the other track I can't imagine Guy buying it

Someone just paid £51.97

The Embracers is Okay, nowhere as good as Otis Leavill on the same label, too Doo-wop for the Northern scene imo, Pat Brady had it on his list a few years back at 200, I got one from the US for peanuts along with Doc Oliver!

Bob, there are probably more copies of I Surrender on this side of the pond!, it used to be cheap on ABC, a pal of mine had at least 5x25 count boxes back in the late 70's.

Great stuff!

here Jock, my oldest friend from Scochland, get ye self heer!
