which pictures ???

Thanks guys for your valuable input, I guess you were posting while scanning the sleeve for me?

Doubt such a list exists (yet). And it would be very very hard work to compile one. Countless number of previously unreleased tracks over the years....

Google'd a bit (as you do when in the office ) and found this article here. See comment at bottom of it, looks like it's not "the" Thornton Sisters on Cuppy (not that it really bothers me to be honest)

Marc, I clicked all links but still can't see any evidence they're talking about the Cuppy 45 and not the Bobsan one *puzzled*

Marc, the YouTube vid linked to the comment is no longer available. You're sure she talks about "I keep forgettin" and not about the other release ("Big City Boy" wasn't it?)

I got a nice copy of Kim Weston "Helpless"/"Take me in your arms" on dutch Artone (GO. 42 643). It looks lovely but would look even better with a sleeve! Can somebody help me out with good quality scans of either just the front or, even better, both sides of the original picture sleeve? TIA Benji

Doesn't surprise me at all. Well known dealer once bought a VG+ record off me via Ebay only to advertise it on here as M-. Seems like some sellers think it's ok to overgrade records on here because we're all mates, aren't we?

Close to 4 figures in $ on Ebay

Surely not. But I also wouldn't relate the price tag on said site to this 45. 200? FFS...

Glad you guys like the Julius Wright track. And Ken's disliking is a seal of quality to me

At least the scans are the same

Quite a few unplayed/NM copies of Executive Jam have turned in the last few months. Suspicious.

Is Just another dress rehersal vocal or instrumental on the LP? Vocal on LP, instrumental take is acetate only. Just found the old thread about the album

Used to have this album long time ago. I recall, Christ Bartley sang on some of the tracks.

Just giving this a little bump. I mean, 100+ views and only one reply? What do you guys think of the tracks (probably) not issued anywhere else? And just to point it out: The album is a genuine 1960's release not a recent one.

Isn't the venue still running? We had an intern from Stafford a few years ago and she said it's still open but now called Zanzibars or so??

Here are the YouTube vids. Make sure to play Julius Wright, fantastic track!

About two years ago there was an discussion about a very obscure/rare german 7" on the "RS Schallplatten" label featuring two equally obscure cuts by Gene Middleton b/w The Wilderness. To my surprise I found a V/A compilation simply called "R&B Rhythm'n'Blues" on the very same label a few days ago. According to the sleeve notes all tracks were recorded in Florida in 1969. Tracklisting is: The Lovelles - Here come the heartaches Julius Wright - Things will change Groove Kings - Coastin' Gene Middleton & Wes Prim with Groove Kings - Drip drop Wes Prim - Miss you, baby The Lovelles - I wonder why Gene Middelton - Stop where you are The Wilderness - Good times, bad times Georgia Soul Twisters - Voop The LaShand - All my love Gene Middleton - You need love Does anybody know if they were released anywhere else? I know that Lovelles - Heartaches, Gene Middelton - Stop/You need love and Wilderness - Good times did get US 7" releases but what about the others? And were the 45 releases mono or stereo? On this album all cuts are stereo and sound fantastic! Stand out track is Julius Wright - Things will change. A truly great piece of midtempo crossover.!!! Google search didn't reveal any traces of it being released anywhere else. All I could find was a YouTube by Markus Gora from Hamburg. Therefore I assume it only ever came out on this LP. Three other great tracks are both Lovelles uptempo Northern cuts and The LaShand, a lovely midtempo ballad. I know that Bob A once said he has the Lovelles I wonder why on german RS 7" so I guess it only ever came out in Germany. LaShand seems to be previously unissued. Hear all tracks mentioned on my YouTube Channel

15/20 years ago I hammered Whirlpool and put it on lots of tapes for other collectors. I'm truly ashamed now

little bump, will leave it for sale for another day or two then it's off to ebay. Open to reasonable offers, BTW!

Thats's a benefit of german releases, most of them came with P/S showing the actual artist.

You're right, good old fashioned blue eyed northern! I'd say about 50 quid is a fair price. You don't see that many copies around but it's still relatively unknown isn' it?

Levine did them. Few 100s maybe. Fantastic track that sadly suffers from the "Ian Levine" stigma. I recall the flip being a rather dull IL drum computer instrumental?
