Great minds etc

Thats a compilation Nashee - the original is on the album I Put A Spell On You - and Phil, I just found it, it's in lovely shape, I'll stick it in the post tomorrow. I only collect reggae lp's and northern compilations y'see.

Phil I am 99% certain I've got this LP, UK original. If I have, you can have it for nothing. Wait there..

Think it's LP only

John you see a problem in every word I ever post on your topics, I do not question it's rarity or value, I simply said that pep and Levine had the record, and not only did Pep make me an emi off his copy but I was sat with him at Wigan when he sold it.

When I mentioned this track on here in the Levines New LP topic and said I thought things sounded better minimal, he emailed and his opinion was, let's just say 'different to mine'.

I remember seeing this at Out On The Floor in Camden in 1988 or 89 and thinking it looked interesting but not buying it. A good 4 years later I spent a couple of days with Gene R off here, we went to camden and it will still there in the shop! So I bought it, featured it in my mag and all of a sudden, well you know what happens next. I paid £3 for it, mint Decca demo.

weird alternative version of the video here

An utterly fantastic record, and to think it was made in this decade, it's one of if not the best authentic 60's soul pastiches/tributes ever - I love it because it's so basic - drums, bass, guitar, piano and some understated brass - that's all that's needed - why record in a multi track studio when this sounds like it was done live in one take

It was a simple but excellent question which wasn't answered

Thought it was a good interview, always nice to hear tales of finding records back in the old days, in fact we even had a thread about it on here a few weeks back, oh but I guess since it's Ian Levine it's not interesting at all is it he didn't really slag of anyone on here except Tim, he complained about Soul Sam and quite right too, awful taste in music. Shame about the carstairs but there you go

Yes very thoughtful!

It can't be crossover - I like it!

I'd got 50 less on Jean Carter for the simple fact that loads turned up a few motnhs back. Issue still rare.

If I'd done that and mentioned it on here I'd have been crucified

I meant same record but different labels really

Out On The Bumbo Claat Floor by Augustus Pablo featuring Dobie Gray. Sorry, I meant "no can't think of any"

It might be in bongo bongo land where you live but it's actually quite fast here in the civilised world

I need 1 & 2 Mark, how do I pay?

There's actually two versions of this - in the early 70's, some budget label put out a compilation called Twiggy & her Boyfriends to cash in on the stage play that Twiggy was starring in, Beautiful Dreams was on it but it had a theremin type instrument added over most of the instrumental parts!

Me too - made me realise that there was no point going to allnighters again if this is the sort of thing that was going to be forced upon us

Fraid so...47

The 1962 date, you mean the one printed on the label? Doesn't mean anything apart from the fact they copyrighted the label in that year. Apart from that - don't ask me!

Yes it was, on Out Of The Past, plain white label...

But it wasn't a joke! I had that record in about 1975 and don't think I even heard the vocal until it came out on a compilation album in 1985. It was never played, ever. And I still wouldn't piss on it if it was on fire. Well I would, but only the instrumental side, I'd probably throw a damp cloth over it.
