You are right of course. I'm sure they showed this in full a few years ago.

Was probably ticket only invited audience thing as it was arranged by the BBC.

Yeah the reissue came out in 1977. But the poster said he had one with an inverted matrix on the label AND the stamper ending in "2" which is mystifying.

You're correct about the inverted matrix, however the stamped matrix on the original is 1C, on the reissue it is 2C, I have both in front of me as I write this. I'm amazed it went to a second pressing in 1967 as it hardly sold anything. The brown on the label is way lighter on the reissue incidentally. * there may be a few anomilies with deram as I just sold an original Quik - Berts Apple Crumble, I know it's an original, it's got the proper stamper number, yet the small matrix on the label is the right way up, never seen one like this.

Don't think so - only on a couple of bootleg 7" apart from the LP's

Wow, fantastic sleuthing, if thats a word!

Great work!

Up until the end of the 70's, all clubs were called Discos anyway. I remember I used to do Disco top 30's of my own from my own records, when I was 14, they included things as diverse as Festival Time and Ire Feelings by Rupie Edwards - it was literally records played at our local disco.

Lynn, this got in the charts at the time BUT I'm always finding it in collections so it must have definitely been a big record at the time, charts or not. Great track.

Not seen this before... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAN-REMO-GOLDEN-STRINGS-HUNGRY-LOVE-NORTHERN-SOUL-POPCORN-/290676364592?pt=UK_Records&hash=item43ada95530#ht_2860wt_1398

I agree with that when it comes to work, but label scans are owned by the record labels and are public domain, surely?

No, I"m saying that the info was wrong in the first place, the record was a mile away from the R&B charts and probably sold maybe 300 locally in Detroit only.

Steve I hadn't got down as far as your reply when I replied. The top R&B records would have sold like 50,000 copies I would have thought. Maybe more.

I was thinking that too. If that was the case, our youth club disco was a gay heaven - practically every record featured in that program up until 1978 was played there, all the Philly ones, the Northern ones, people forget that the charts in those days were crammed with soul records. I watched 1977 Top Of The Pops last night and the chart was almost 50% black/soul artists.

Kev's right Steve, it sold bugger all

Also a version by Alan David on UK Decca which is pretty collectable.

Dawn Penn......Northern Soul connection...WHEN You Don't Love Me is a cover of Jerry Ganey on MGM

Only on a later reissue

They released it on DVD and included the outtakes I think

A record they always played in Mr. M's was "Something keeps calling me back" by Wayne Fontana - it's A side "Pamela Pamela" reached number 11 in the charts. Probably didn't sell a million but was a huge hit.

I know.

Can't remember who it was, but I sold a demo to someone on here not realising it was a demo, and he took the time to PM take the piss out of me for selling a demo so cheap!

I sold one on behalf of (may want to remain nameless) 3 years back, it was broken in half more or less, two separate pieces of record. I stuck it back together. Got £120 for it.

I bet it's THE Russ, looks like a test pressing, must be extremely rare - I'd expect it to fetch at least £4.99

Sent you PM rather than continuing on here mate
