Garethx is busy on the phone talking to Butch.

No, don`t think so as in the very same conversation he told me all matrix details of all Tuska releases...from his memory. He even included the unreleased ones. over to you

No, he rang me and said he can`t remember ever talking to you at all

If you would only read more carefully young James you would have recognized it was Simon who referred to Butch first. Beside that, you sure you really wanna talk about things such as electro shocks ?

You are not LOL The other side is a killer R&B-funky-edged dancefloor winner which is so right for today, words fail to describe it .

see, thats what those bl**y foreigners do to us...even ruining our once so reliable German Post! ,

you are .

I`ll ask him later today for you and let you know tomorrow...please be a little more patient.

As long as its concerning BC it was, is and will always be you Simon ...I am afraid

As much as you slagg off this record at every possible occasion Simon, you must really nnneeeddd a copy big time...so I really wish you you`ll find a copy one day. Beside that everybody is free to have a personal taste and judgement...so in my book its both sides are examples of the best. Barbara Hall brings a tear to my eye everytime the needle hits the groove. And I know my Deep (as well).

As both records have two of the most extraordinary deep soul sides ever on their flipsides - IMO - I just can`t believe you mean what you just said

...as it fits the current topic in a way... I just recieved a new spam mail...seeing many of us get packages from the US I thiought I`d better warn you the senders adress is customer@dhl-usa.com, headline is "DHL delivery problem 20943" this is a "spy" spam mail, don´t open! Marc

In most cases there aint much a sender can do once a registered but not insured package went lost after it went across the border. I will always remember when I sold a record to the UK and it went lost in the shite British post system. The buyer contacted the BP, they searched for it, found it, testified that to the worried buyer..only to tell him (in fact her) a week or so later that it went lost again! Unqualified idiots. No refund, nth. It was send registered. But the German post said its not their responsibility once it has left the German post system. And rightly so of course. Well, to cut it short I was made/held responsible (by the buyer) and to safe myself from more negative emails and such that started coming my way from the frustrated buyer I ended up paying back/refunding her 250 UKP out of my own pocket! So I as the seller lost out on both sides, money and record! Since then I am always (a-l-w-a-y-s) nervous when sending to the UK. The German post is one of the best in the world though, fast and almost 100% reliable. Hopefully for some more time to come...I am afraid it will change over here soon too though... Marc

They even dare to publish a "United Artist Tribute" CD...if one would only forward this fact they surely would receive a H E A V Y law suit....

No, it wasn`t I checked at home and it is "Lonely One" that was released by both, Steptones and Tempos... @ Rob: Maybe O`Dell Jones was involved in both groups ? I`ll ask him.

Cheers, youre right---on both accounts

well, its also released under the Steptones isn` t it ?

Thats the first 45 out of Diamond Jim´s output I fell in love with and up to today its the last record missing in that label run...J¶rg Brenner played it at the last Hip City much to my big enjoyment! Bloody fantastic record....remind me people with which other (Thelma) record does it share the backing track ? At work and can`t remember at the moment.. Marc

No Johnny there are rarer things on Academy....the one in question here is currently especially quite indemand as its also a C/UP spin for about a handful of UK DJ`s..

Benji, there`s (also?) an acetate of this. Wether that is the one that Rob or Chris owned I don`t know. But please verify your statement that there is a test press around because if it is and you have not mixed up acetate with test press that would make it now 4 copies plus one acetate. we already had that more then once before...three copies with different credits.

This awful story just came back to my mind today morning. Don`t know what to add to what I told you already in HH mate. Really gutted for you and of course I will keep my eyes and ears open as well. Marc

In that case 3 plus one acetate

yes it is. Current spin of mine since last year. Haim listed one a while ago too but did list (and soundilfed) only the flipside...

Definitely wrong, three known copies, and it sold exactly a year ago on ebay.
