The booting of R&B has become rife - I was in a shop in Manchester last weekend and there must have been in excess of 100 of these new "re-issues". I scanned through - and there was a large percentage of my old FlipSide and Back Beat playlists in there - some pretty obscure bits - and stuff that never really took off... I hope they prove as popular with the purchasers, as they did with folks when i was playing them - ie not very.

Most of the R&B items are now hitting the 50 year mark - and falling under the "50yr Copyright rule". See 6 ii > https://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p01_uk_copyright_law

I reckon it was 1990ish - at one of the Yarmouth weekenders - remember thinking it was an insane amount of money as I couldn't see myself paying more than £50 for a 45... how times change....

Wasn't this the first record to break the £1K price ceiling?

The LP on Bunky / London is well worth picking up - it's the kind of LP you can stick on the deck and play both sides without skipping any.

Spot on. Just listened to my UK copy and can confirm it plays "Stop The Baby".

Unconfirmed at the minute, but I've read online that Jimmy has passed away. Sad news. added by site news clip and link Funk great Jimmy Castor, the man who made the Troglodyte and Bertha Butt famous, passed away on Monday at the age of 64. At this time, there is no cause of death. According to VVN Music affiliate Noise11, "Castor's grandson P.J. Romain said on Twitter that his "grandfather is unresponsive at the hospital," before breaking the news eight hours later in a tweet that said: "My grandfather Jimmy Castor died today at 2:30 on MLK day." ""Disco musician Nile Rodgers also tweeted his grief, saying: "I can't stop crying. How do I explain how much his brilliant upbeat music touched my soul? Jimmy Castor RIP.""

The new sound, inspired by the large and growing Puerto Rican population of Harlem, was dubbed Latin soul, and locals like Ray Barrette (11 Watusi") and Joe Cuba ("'Bang' 'Bang'") were the new stars uptown, By now Castor had added cimbales and vibes to his arsenal of talents and with his longtime writing and producing partner John Pruitt came up with one of the all-time great New York Latin soul discs-"Hey, Leroy, Your Mama's Callin' You." "Hey, Leroy" was and is irresistible, with its fat melodic bass line, descending piano triplets, timbales, and conga grooves, wailing sax, and call-and-response refrain"go to yo' mama, go to yo' mama." By Christmas week of '66 it had risen to #16 on Billboards national R&B charts (#31 pop), but in Harlem it was as good as #1 and would be sung by kids on the baseball fields and playgrounds of New York for a decade. read more http://www.70disco.com/jimmycas.htm -

I know where theres a raft of them - unfortunately the dealer want's too much for them as the 'Hot dog' side was a massive radio 'hit' in the area where the dealer is. if you still want a copy at the end of march, let me know and I'll pick you one up while I'm in the states...

Is Johnnie Mae the second? That suprises me. Strange that I love Raw R&B though eh?
-
apples and oranges. Ree Flores but it's close. Johnnie Mae Matthews by a thousand miles.
-
i don't need to tell myself anything - I've listened to the Vocals, and Charles Diamond is a far better singer... plus the Inspirations sounds like an unfinished demo.
-
Got both and don't recall it being the same track - it is a couple of years since i played the Chess copy and I've never played them back to back - but my memory tells me that it's a similar/ or the same backing tune but different lyrics/tempo?
-
It's not a reissue, it's a complete re-recording of the track - and better IMO.

Unwatchable on my PC - film jumps in 5 second skips.

If this is the quality of stuff he's likely to play at the 100 Club, then I wouldn't cross the road to listen to him spin, let alone a five hour round trip. And Willie Wade doesn't sound like Smokey Robinson on one side and Little Anthony on the other, he sounds like Alvin and the frigging Chipmunks because it's pitched up way too far.
