Love it. Loved it at the time as well.

No mate I think they put the same track on both sides

This is such a bizarre post, Mark you've been on the scene for umpteen years yet you are asking where to buy 5 quid pressings....

Kiss my love goodbye... Trick me treat me...

It's vinyl carvers who are selling them... https://www.vinylcarvers.com/store/products.php?cat=35

Yes I think definitely the Skatalites, if you listen to the little drum fill near the end, well cymbal fill actually, it gives it away. Think this came out on the Prince Buster or Wild Bells label in Jamaica.

I just realised, listen to the tune that the guitarist is picking out and you can sing Tommy Navarro's I Cried My Life Away to it!

Here you go Tony, sorry haven't had time to clean up the recording, you'll get the gist of it though...

It'sd a pretty late Blue beat release Tony (BB 313) on the b side of Busters Allstars "Gun the man down". Happy to send it up, though my copy is on a pretty ropey Jamaican blank so it has the extra bacon sizzling effect. Great version though. Whats with the totally inappropriate 'space' noises on the start of delano Stewarts whever I lay my hat???

Cheers Rankin "Get Ready" was another one...also the Uniques did a few crackin Motown covers including Build My World Around You and Ain't Too Proud To Beg...their Trojan album is phenomenal...well I guess every Motown song must have been covered by a Jamaican artist at one time. Got a great version of Stubborn Kinda Fellow by the Blues Busters which is worth hearing.

So am I the only person who has seen the Soul City 120 advert???

Not wishing to appear pedantic (ahem) but that came out 3 years before the word reggae was invented and is a late ska version, sorry Cod

Not saying you are wrong mate but there is a press advert for the final Soul City 45 and it's an EP, it's been printed in one of the soul fanzine so someone else has surely seen it - gives a Soul City catalogue number.

But definitely supposed to be on Soul City. I've seen press adverts for it - advertising it as a 3 track maxi-single.

Check the guy's radio show from the States. It's Jimmy Radcliffe. He didn't even know it came out over here so he's playing a genuine disc.

It sounds like Dick & dee dee! I liked it..

Because she's like your all time fantasy figure ....

Thtas really weird - I meant to write Jackson but kept hearing it in my head as sounding like Bartley. I hear voices...

Could anyone actually dance to Spinning Top? Must be one of the 3 fastest northern sounds. Fastest has got to be She tried To Kiss me by The Butlers.

Same backing track as the unreleased Chirs Bartley record on UK Soul City.

It is Jimmy Radcliffe, definitely. There's a guy posts on here who does a radio show in the States and it was on his playlist as Jimmy Radcliffe, he was amazed when I told him it had come out here as Chubby Checker.

I'd personally love to see a full length set of Dean Parrish having never actually witnessed him performing live..

here's a coincidence for you - been to a boot sale this morning and picked up: THE MIKE RAVEN BLUES SHOW (XTRA 1047) THE MIKE RAVEN BLUES SAMPLER (TRANSATLANTIC TRA SAM 5) THIS IS BLUES (ISLAND IWP 5) whats the chances of that, one day after speaking about Mike Raven?

God what an uninspired and lame version of Keep On keeping On, sounds like half the band didn't turn up!
