....sings the first couple of lines of Beverly Ann "He's coming home"...

No mate, certainly on the demo 12" they're all remixes or retouched, which is why you need the CD single!

Yes, you're right of course Dean

...with the instr. on the flip, which got plays, IIRC John Vincent had it covered up, I picked up on it and played it at Yate, wish I still had it - ah well, got the Phil La issue and UK LP of Johnny C...

That intro's almost four minutes long - had to break for the news and then come back with the vocal!

Listen to www.gloucesterfm.com NOW for the remix!!

If that's the Ashley Beedle remix, the intro's looped to destruction ....got it on a Jap CD compilation with an instr. as well.

Played this out for the first time in ages at Soulfusion (warm-up) last time...I can remember a mate having a UK demo of this back in the late '60's! Ahead of his time...

Off topic I know, but on t'radio over the weekend I heard an old pop stomper - Paintbox "Get ready for love", and thought of Paul as it's his old copy which sits in my collection! Back on topic, Nick, you're right, just remember the sheer exhilaration of hearing it when it was first being spun!

Yes, with a fake Bell Sound stamp - the giveaway is that the "Just sunshine" is in black instead of red.

Morning! Good fun re-reading that thread! x

Me too...

AFAIK no, because it got a UK issue on Charly in the mid -70s....unless someone's done one recently?

From memory Dave, yes, the feel of the label gives it away.

Where's Intown Mikey? He's the expert on the Yate double clap! My pet hate - people who insist on clapping OFF the beat

Retraction time - I meant Gene Chandler...should really concentrate more but I'm supposed to be working...

Surely you're too young to have gone there Dave? ...if that was the BIG venue, it's one I've always been glad I missed...

Yes, he (Chuck Jackson) didn't seem to hit it off personally with Snake at Fleetwood either. BTW More good acts - Detroit Emeralds and Sam and Dave, Torch all-dayer, 1973...Sam and Dave were my heroes. brilliant, even if I didn't know at the time that they weren't on speaking terms!

Agree on Edwin, Jimmy Conwell at the 2001 weekender did it for me as well...sadly an asthma attack the next year meant I kept my record of never having seen JJ Barnes...

Frightened the life out of me!

Yes, I was, O'brien was, and I know Snooky was...so it's pretty certain that you're thinking of the same night. Of course I was so quiet and inconspicuous on the coach you probably forgot I was there...

Yes, Dalton Boys "Something's bothering you" on VIP - the other side "I've been cheated" got spins as well but "SBY" always rates as one of my faves

From memory, it was two nights - the Saturday and then the next Oldies Friday niter...

Russ, Flynny has it listed for 200UKP at the moment!

Yes Benji, booted on white demo, paper feels rough and the matrix has "Best 1025" and "1026" on the respective sides - and the labels are on the wrong sides. Jerry.
