Here you are Pete, Take a listen. The reggae one is much better than the northern attempted b side On Broadway/ Hey Chick - ray pereira (reggae) - baf 15679 refosoul Reggae song with northern flip with diff vocals Dunc

I also have a reggae Uk 45 purchased from the same source on a London indie label from the sixties. The B side is a northern cover of Judge Baby I'm Back, but with different vocals. The backing is proper northern but the vocals are too weak, unfortunately. Will dig it out later. A side is a reggae version of "on Broadway" Dunc

£45 inc postage (UK). Dunc

Hello Pete, Probably a one off. Never seen the likes. Have trolled through thousands of 45s belonging to a local dealer and he has some obscure stuff, including demos, but nothing like that. Some records were pressed on UK demos but never went to release. I have a UK RCA demo of Della Reece - "Blow Out the Sun". It is green on one side and black on the other. The 45 was never released on a Uk issue and there is no record of it in the vinyl bibles. Dunc

From what I have seen the matrix marks are the same on the first press to the second. It is all down to the colour of the label. The dark metallic one is the first, the lighter beige ones with the round clock are 2nd issues, but still retaining the same matrix marks. I will also add that I cannot remember seeing either on Styrene, but no doubt someone will put me right. Dunc

Ok, This has the matrix stamps F- etc and an H. It is Vinyl. I have never seen one like this on Styrene. Bought from a proper source years ago. But defo first issue. If you look at the picture the label is very dark compared to the second issues. Under good light the label is like a metallic finish rather than the plain beige colour of the others. Dunc

This might show the colour better as it is against a white background. First Issue

Had someone saying they wanted it by PM, but have not replied. So still available. Best to ring my number Cheers Dunc

Ok Pat have PM'd you. Send me your details by PM Dunc

BIG MAYBELLE - I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER (CANADIAN COLUMBIA) EX+ Has the same b side as the UK cbs copy - Turn the world the other way.(small writing on the label on this side) This is total Northern at it's very best. If you do not know it go to soulclub.org and take a listen. I would also add that this is far rarer on this label than US Rojac. Considering how old this is it is in tip top shape and no doubt dealers would describe it as M- (apart from the small felt tip markings on the b side) The sound quality is far clearer than my UK CBS Demo. This is the first of some doubles that I will be selling. £50 plus postage. Payment by UK pounds (Well Hidden and registered) or UK Cheque only. UK postage £1.50 unless you want it registered. PM me or call on 0788 4260011 Cheers Dunc

Anyway, back to the topic. I have only seen two copies of Humphey Stomp on ABS in 33yrs Dunc

Yes, I looked at that Tymes one. It is very strange how records are mispressed. Have a Curtis Smith record with a wrong B side on Essica. The B side is Willie small, "How High" How can record companies make that mistake!!! Dunc

Was quite surprised to see Earl Harrison - Homphey Stomp on ABS. "We doubt if, only A handfull of copies are known to exist". Can anyone add to this. I do not wish to highjack the auction in any way, but is this that rare and does anyone know of any of the copies? Dunc

Thanks for that Guys. Have been trying to find one all over the web. Proper old school sound it is. Also thanks to Melandthensome for PM with mp3 attached. Dunc

I am looking for a soundfile of Eddie Miller - Shake a Shuffle-Loo. Any format will do. Anyone? Cheers Dunc

Key to My Happiness was £25 until a well known DJ said it was his favourite track of all time.

A far better record than all of the above is "You Better Believe It" on Harlem Hit Parade by The Charades. Less money and played at Stafford. Records from that era are always on the up (check soulclub.org) Dunc

PS. What is the other side like

Can't read the writing on the label (eyesight goin!) is it Don Gardner with Bobby Crush on the Keyboards!!!! Sounds Ok though. I've never seen one of them. Dunc

The best version of Gladys's is an LP only track and is faster and a different take. I have the LP and without dragging it out it has a huge Pink Heart on the sleeve. The 45 is a lot slower. Dunc

I will have to vote the NUMBER ONE SAX SOUND as mentioned earlier by Dave Thorley: Al Wilson Help Me - (you can't get much better than that). Dunc

He used to live near me. Was a regular to the Casino on the Saturday night sessions in the latter years. Now lives somewhere in the North East. That's all I know. Now you can tell everyone that it is definately not you. Dunc

Those earthmen should have called themselves the spaced out men!!!! b side to the boss four 'walking by' and the contenders as well

Fever - the compact 6 - mercury 11794 refosoul Thought I would have a go at the new thingymybob again. Still don't know how I did it. Dunc
