Yep thats what I was thinking of, Shawn Elliott but I've got another version in the back of my mind somewhere, I think it might be by someone like Ronnie Hilton! (Well he did cover The Laughing Gnome!)

No that's incorrect. Over Under was a sizeable hit and was the A side. Congrats on the find.

It is a known popcorn record though, there's a few versions of it by different artists

Yep thats a pressing alright, you know what, I have never seen that in nearly 40 years of collecting, so my apologies for getting that wrong. I've seen black, blue, purple, red, never seen white.

Yeah all of them have oversized feet, maybe it's so they can balance???

Think this might be one of them

Thats not the one I was on about though Emily, the ones I saw are much better. I really must try and find them. There's a skinhead, a sudehead, a rude boy...

Think these were done in the 70's for budget label compilation albums: I had a version of Um Um Um Um Um Um on a compilation album (though they called it Curious MInd for some reason)

They weren't even in business then where they? There was Soul Supply who put out the Northern Soul Story albums and a couple of singles.

SJ Hawkins is 78 only isn't it?

Ta. Sure I have "Today" and "Stop" should anyone want them.

Oh in that case I agree with you. It does not have soul. At all.

There's no boot of a white demo with lines, thats a West Coast original demo, the one above is the East Coast vinyl press, both are original

Don't think anyones claiming there's anything soulful about it at all, quite the opposite really, it's just "kitsch" and someone wants it. Why anyone would want it is a question that I can't answer either, but I like records by Maureen Evans and Eartha Kitt so who am I to talk..

No, nowhere near that on UK or US

No, I had a couple of copies of Shooting High, thats about it really

Tell me what to look for and I'll ask her, she certainly comes into contact with a lot of people, she works at the Notre Dame university

I've got an Auntie in Indiana, should I be asking her to look for records for me? As for this one - instantly forgettable tuneless racket
