I know I've said this before - but make sure you get one of these with it!

Almost certainly the wrong part of the site but it'll be visible here till moved, so if it could be left for a bit that would be great. A pal of mine is head of music at local Uni and he needs a copy 'Yvette & The Kids' - Funky Drummer for his PHD thesis. If anyone has a copy and would be willing to lend it to him for a couple of days I'll guarantee its safe return. Cheers!

I like it a bit more than last week's entry by Doris Day...
-
Yeah it was hilarious. What kind of timescale do I need to press up a bunch of Pelvis Resley records?
-
Ah. Sorry - I missed all the discussion on there - must learn to look properly... Seriously though, plenty of people seem to like to have a gossip about on here about what happens on John's auctions. Seems pretty harmless to me.

No, you're mistaken I'm afraid - It's definitely bobbins mate

Can I just make it clear that my earlier post was completely colour blind and made purely on the basis that this is a shite disco record, deserving of being filed alongside Sheila B Devotion and 'Northern Monsters' of a similar ilk. Thank you.

The boot is a fake Jubilee promo with Good Little You on flip. Original is available on a black issue on the flip of You Can't Sit Down Jubilee 5566. Original of Good Little you is flip of Dancing on the Beach (Jubilee 5539) If we're doing the Jubilee stuff that got played I should also mention "It's Got You" 5554 I feel extremely sad all of a sudden....

Gone but not Forgotten? Jesus. It should be both. The kind of record that gave disco a bad name.
-
Yep - for the sake of authenticity it's crucial to have your Seven B 45s in the original first run Nola brown paper sleeve.

I've got a Caravelle copy (label before Bay Sound). There's a fair bit of label damage but it plays great and I'd price accordingly. PM me if interested. Cheers

The British demo is 1) a reissue albeit legal and 2) certainly not American. You know the difference right?
-
Me too!

I had the same on facebook. Good manners cost nothing.

Sorry! I meant to add the link: https://www.jazzdisco.org/ Essential site

So not any kind of statement of fact to the effect that Mike Terry was involved then? Gotcha. Ta

As opposed to Philadelphia saxophonist (later Gamble and Huff's horn contractor) Sam Reed? Where's your evidence that the credits are wrong? Here's what's listed on the Atlantic sessions: Archie Bell And The Drells With Leon Huff/Thom Bell's Orchestra Bobby Martin (vibraphone) Leon Huff (piano, arranger) Thom Bell (organ, arranger) Roland Chambers, Norman Harris (guitar) Ronnie Baker (electric bass) Earl Young (drums) Archie Bell (vocals) Don Renaldo and his string section, Sam Reed and his horn section Philadelphia, PA, May 16, 1969 17051 Girl You're Too Young Atlantic 2644, SD 8226 17052 Here I Go Again Atlantic 2693, SD 8226

Not bad Benji - However: Carver? Carver with photocopy label stuck on

The number of copies it sold initially worked against them! Here's the info from Wiki, Ade The artwork is designed to resemble a 5¼" floppy disk. The sleeve does not display either the group name nor song title in plain English anywhere; the only text on the sleeve is "FAC SEVENTY THREE" on the spine. Instead the legend "FAC 73 BLUE MONDAY AND THE BEACH NEW ORDER" is represented in code by a series of coloured blocks. The key enabling this to be deciphered was printed on the back sleeve of the album, Power, Corruption & Lies.[17] "Blue Monday" and Power, Corruption & Lies are two of four Factory releases from this time period to employ the colour code, the others being "Confusion" by New Order and From the Hip by Section 25. The single's original sleeve, created by Factory designer Peter Saville and Brett Wickens, was die-cut with a silver inner sleeve.[17] It cost so much to produce that Factory Records actually lost money on each copy sold. Matthew Robertson's Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album[18] notes that "[d]ue to the use of die-cutting and specified colours, the production cost of this sleeve was so high that the single sold at a loss." Tony Wilson noted that it lost 5p per sleeve "due to our strange accounting system"; Saville noted that nobody expected "Blue Monday" to be a commercially successful record at all, so nobody expected the cost to be an issue."[19] In Shadowplayers: The Rise and Fall of Factory Records, Saville states "I am so bored with this story. We didn't even know how many of these expensive covers were ever made anyway."[20] Robertson also noted that "[l]ater reissues had subtle changes to limit the cost" (the diecut areas being replaced with printed silver ink).[19] The artwork was so late that Saville sent it straight to the printer, unreviewed by either the band or the label.[21] The 1988 and 1995 versions were packaged in conventional sleeves.

They lost more money on the initial run of the Blue Monday 12 inch in the die cut sleeve than almost anything else they did!

Jay Tratnor ? Surely shome mishtake...
