RIP to a legend!

New Zealand press, it never made it out on London here as far as I know.

wish i'd seen this thread to warn my girlfriend earlier, she just paid 40 pounds for the what has turned out to be a bootleg copy that arrived in the mail today. the boot just has the song titles scratched in the runout grooves.

how many on this label exist in both vinyl & styrene?

Maybe there is something to do with the publishing tied over from the vocal version of "The Hump" which is why World Int. appears on the Tragar 45?

weird link if this theory is correct.

there was a thread on this but it got moved to the ebay forum

bump, still need a scan of this if anyone is holding a copy.......

what's the story with that orange label, don't know if i've seen that before?

Bernard Reed is on quite a lot of the mid-late Brunsweick era Artistics sides as well as well as Barbara Acklin stuff. He's the bassist on "Am I The Same Girl"/Young-Holt's "Soulful Strut". So you'll have definitely heard Reed without neccessarily knowing it's him. The Pieces of Peace LP that came out a couple of years back is great. Read his bio here: Bernard Reed He's a pretty legendary R&B bassist.

need the Pat Brown for my Eddie Bo collection, will try to remember to keep an eye on things next week

Great players like Phil Upchurch & Bernard Reed would also have been on the scene around these times for Brunswick & they are also pretty melodic players. Hard to be certain about anything that isn't documented though.

you don't have to tell me, as i know all too well "you sound poor" is just a record collector's catch phrase when other collectors grizzle about price or make a point over how much someone else is spending, sort of an "in joke" when ribbing other collectors

cosign on this one, dancefloor catnip.

According to discogs Billy was in By All Means after School Boyz & Stan was in Triple S Connection before School Boyz. They don't look very white in pics (which is nothing for nothing). I also had no idea Bunky Sheppard was white. Learn something every day

you sound poor. So your answer to Ian's initial question must be "No". Let's just leave it at that because you aren't going to win an argument trying to affirm the playing of bootlegs to a crowd who kind of pride themselves on collecting originals.

Orbit is the 2nd press of this version. The label name/design was changed because of the perceived negative connotations of the confederate flag on an R&B 45. The King version is definitely different in some aspects but I'm not 100% sure when those changes occured or if they only appear on the King 45?? Anyone?? The Alshire & Gerland are the first versions. Then Confederate which is the 2nd version. Then Orbit, Conco, Bethlehem (not sure if these are version 2 or 3 - I guess all these are version 2??) Finally King (version 3) I like the King version best. Chronologically when did the UK press on Sue come out & is it version 2 or 3?

something of a northern special this week Sunday Shuffle 10 July with guest DJs Chae Riley & Paul Sheridan

white label Helene Smith is the boot b/w Frank Williams.

How much of this label got UK press on Action before Direction? I think I have Fantastic Johnny C on Action somewhere, are there others?

So which came first? This version or the one which was released on Alshire or Gerland? This release has always confused me with the (I think) 3 different versions?

damn, must have taken off then, put my perfectly playable VG copy through ebay a couple of years back & got $108 or something for it, how the hell did that go wrong.

you all are giving me a headache. i have to pack records for tonight, but now i'm so confused I think i'll just go to my new arrivals pile, grab 25 & play them in alphabetical order to satisfy the OCD that reading this thread has brought on

$100

Sounds R&B to me, but googling it sees it linked to as many Rockabilly references. I used to heavily collect Rockabilly & have never run into it before. Seems like the promos are on red vinyl. Maybe the flip is more rockabilly? Or the fact that they are a white group lessens their R&B-ness in some people's eyes??
