i did not bring enough of my records or any of my books with me when i moved here to be able to answer that sorry

totally conceivable. Stax are having cash-flow troubles, not paying bills. They get the LP pressed up at a plant, can't pay because the company is in a state of collapse. Plant refuses to release the product until they are paid for the pressing. Stax don't pay. The Sandra Wright LP is destroyed by the plant because the order was never paid for, but maybe a copy or two sneak out with employees or were sent as "tests" or something. It is known that some Stax product was never shipped from the pressing plant because Stax never paid at the time & certain plants even refused to do business with them after word got out that they were sinking.

Anyone email John Anderson to ask if he recollects it at all?

thanks

thanks

Just threw this together, let it roll & enjoy

Deadwax is: 4-BROS-10467-11, AT, w

damn, that looks mighty similar to the bootleg

I can get you the details off of my original Sam & Kitty but first I have to find it.....

Well, as the recent Darrell Banks thing showed us, it is entirely possible that a record can exist & not be sighted in the scene for a very long time, so who knows.

I'm so damn curious now. One of you UK dudes just call Mr Dilnot & ask him already!!!!!

no, smaller local label.

I was just going off the three youtubes posted above where the UK Pye & US St Clair are markedly different recordings, so no, the 45cat comment is not obvious. But whatever guys, if they're the same to your ears then I don't know what to say.

sounds like the HBR to my ears too on the UK Pye, which contradicts what the reply on that 45cat link says. although label shots in youtube vids don't always match the versions of the tracks to be honest.

also, i never realised the different versions!!

The drummer on this is the father of Brian Wolfe who is one of the Dap-Kings drummers.

Hi everybody, my new album (of old & new stuff) is out today. Bandcamp is available now, all other usual online places to follow shortly, please check it out & enjoy. This is a bunch of funk/soul/gospel things, some you will have heard before but most are unreleased. I'm super excited to have it done & out finally https://krisholmes.bandcamp.com/album/productions-edits-2006-2016

Very sad news, an incredible musician. One of the great songwriters of his generation.

Cool little watch

yeah, so what happened here is, remember about a decade ago Warners/Rhino did the "What It Is" box set? well, last record store day they reissued those reissues but this time on coloured vinyl. the listing is for the Stovall Sisters from the reissue of the reissue. legit release.

agree with between 600-700 pound I remember bidding $900US on that one which went through ebay a month or two ago & it went for just over 1k Maybe my #1 want....
