Steve Foran

Yes Steve, Ian Levine actually borrowed Alan Pollards copy of the instrumental ( cant recall name) to get the backing. I remember Alan telling me!

I saw another James Bounty acetate last year or late 2014. It was a different take with an extra verse I think from memory.

Recall Richard Searling and John Poole having a chat about it as RS had (say a Palmer copy) played C/U JP was saying no its on Labeat. Stuff of legends!!

Mate is/was a heavily used term in and around Bedfordshire by everyone young and old. Always made me smile when an older lady in the shop called you mate. Bit like love and chuck up here in Stockport now! I agree "can I get" drives me bloody mad. And yes I am 58!

I have the rarer Orange issue. I posted it on here about 2/3 years ago. But cant find it. Sorry!

You can add John Drevars to his playlist!

Managed to snag a copy last year. Think I paid £100. Long time want.

Yes it was Neal. I had a nice red issue. Good luck.

Was thinking of selling my black issue. Ah well!!

Was/Is it the copy Rob Thomas had?

Remember it being sung on X Factor and Cowell had no idea what it was??

Believe it or not 6 years since Alan died. Just to remember Alan.

Think that was it in roughly the right order.

Don't think there is a legit WD of it. As previously said only given with the LP as a "tempter" . It is blue/green. Think the LP is The NEW Silhouettes. On the single it says "For Promotion". So it was not a WD and I think this is to promote the "New Silhouettes! They were a 50,s group trying to relaunch their career. Hope that helps. Well done Dave Pinch

Ditto to that sad news. Same with the Bits n Pieces story to me really interesting.

Don't think that is correct as Levine did not believe it existed at the time. He did not have one and tried to get RW to let him into the secret. I think it may have been linked to James Bond by RW for obvious reasons but not sure about that! Whatever the story I don't think it was covered up for very long.

Personally I would speak to Pete Smith.

Looks like a real one!

Remember it well Scotty and TIm. Well said Steve "diddy" Morgan.

Very Ronnettes sounding. Very Spectorish as well. Googletime!
