Irish Stax?

They were a Carolinas group, this has been covered at length before.

Yes mate, the last two Four Sonics releases were pressed by Amy-Mala-Bell, this is probably when duplication ocurred, though "It Takes Two" also came out on the yellow Sport label with matrix numbers just before the Appreciations release.

Easier Said Than Done Sport 111

Any chance of posting the ABC 45, Steve?

Was this released on BR?, got it on Mercury, great 2-sider!

Anyone got a promo of Johnny Moore "Lonely Heart" they want to part with?

Late '67-early '68.

Think thats a Philly release?

Well done, if you get fed up with it, I've got room for one here!

Plus this number is a duplicate, just as Sport signed a distribution deal with Amy-Mala-Bell, which didn't seem to be much of an advantage to them as they folded soon after!

Both

They are the only one's I know, mate.....unless.....

....And the flip "Are You From Heaven" is fabulous!!

I've got a white demo, not to hand though, doesn't it have 'AT' in the run-out? I also had a copy like the one you have Bob, with the repeated title on the flip, I sold it it as a boot a few years back.

Has to be r/w Detroit ATAC 1st, then the west coast(RPR distributed, home to Jimmy McFarland),then Mala in my humble opinion.

Great work Andy, keep it up pal!

Yes, he did, I remember Keb playing it too?

Dave Thorley played it at TOTW a few times too, I got a copy at that time from Ady Pountain for £3, personally I don't rate it as a 3 figure sound, but, heh who's to say?

Wow! Richard, you done it again, not seen that before!

Wasn't their first Fontana 45 a Duke cover ,Soul Sisters?, haven't got the relevant info at hand, but having a residency at the Twisted Wheel would've put them in contact with a lot of obscure sounds to pick from.

I'm sure Dave Moore had an issue and a demo.

Maybe you're a bit late to visit Burnley! Lifeline is still going strong, and whats with this mod/London angle anyway?. You're promoting a do at the old Valatone venue, what are you proposing that is going to be any different?
