That's how I understand it used to be back in the 70s. But is it still the same nowadays?

are there really that many reissues of current newies/biggies? I mean if folks are reissueing/pressing each and every newie within 1/2 years after its first spin I sure would agree with Andy D. or Arthur. But folks aren't, from what I understand most of todays "hot" sounds are still exclusive and limited to just a few copies. So what's all the fuss about? And that's leaving out the fact that being against a reissue where the artists would financially benefit from is pretty selfish IMO.

and already sold by the time you posted the link.

You're sure these Billy Butlers are fake? I mean, some original Okeh demos came in all sorts of colour and the scans look real to me. I know, seller states these are reissues....

Yes, he told me that when I met him in the mid 90s.

No, Long John Baldry never heard of Ray Pollard when he recorded his versions of both sides.

I quite like the Gas Powered Clock instrumental, but not as a Northern track more as a pop one. I think the Leo Wright cut sounds quite different to the United Four cut I'm used to. Will see if I can find my United Four mp3 and if it's really just a speeded up Leo Wright. Do you know if original acetate is uncredited?

Stardust is a bootleg label so you might get yourself a carver, Tempests one side, Willie Kendricks the other. Saves you money.

I know it's been discussed before. But I seriously doubt that the no-address-press is a bootleg. It looks just too good for a pressing (e.g. sharp print definition, two colour print on label). Does anyone know did the bootleg and when?

First audio clip sounds like a publisher's demo to me. 2nd clip is definitely Doug Banks singing over the demo backing.

Leo Wright, nice surprise. Didn't know there was another version of this song. I only knew the United Four c/up one (acetate only). United Four was first played by Richard Searling wasn't it? Gasoline Powered Clock, it's the (daft) vocal side on the podcast. Wasn't it the instrumental side that got played?

Probably.

Yes.

The JJ Jackson Prelude label was west coast (L.A.?) based, same as Mac Staten "There she goes".

Could be correct.

Not "pretty little girl" by any chance? Done by Gene Chandler and George Smith. Both early 60s midtempo tho both don't really have a latin beat.

That's what I love about Soul Source. Someone mentions a record you haven't played for decades, you dig it out, give it a spin and you suddenly realize you never noticed how good it really is. On-topic: Never seen or heard of a "king of the mountain" 45 but somehow I have a feeling that "tomorrow" was on a french or swedish scepter EP/45? (am probably wrong tho)

This isn't even Popcorn, just Pop.
