Think I can vaguely remember Radio London playing C-Baby, and there was a UK cover version as well...and in the 80's I actually picked a UK demo out of a fellow (but older) radio presenters collection. Had to sell it on to realise some cash - Pete French, you got a bargain...

And sound quality on the boot is dreadful! BTW did you know it was once Tony Blackburns record of the week? Check this... https://www.radiolondon.co.uk/rl/scrap60/fa.../fab090767.html

Hows about Freddie McCoy "Soul Yogi" on Prestige? Vibes-a-go go! Played it at the Yate Revival and even though it was fairly early doors had several people asking about it. Great little mover (unlike me!)

Glad you're more sensible these days Mel! Hippo.

Agreed - always had a soft spot for this...and Innocent Bystanders "Frantic Escape" - everything but the kitchen sink in there!

...while mine's on red vinyl, never seen a black one!

Bob, was there any connection between these and the Leaders on Blue Rock?

Yes, it's in full stereo as well! There's also a boot on Vault which has the instr. on the flip - always wondered about that but on a recent thread about those turquoise Modern "reissues" it was alleged that Arthur Wright was involved - so I assume the same applies here? Hippo.

Now ain't that strange - in all my nights at Wigan I never saw any of the above...maybe I was looking the wrong way (or had my head in a record box, more likely )

Thank you sir, much appreciated...just been pointed in the direction of a similar reply you put on an earlier thread. I must pay more attention - or stop doing this while I'm supposed to be doing a radio show!

Surely must be the second issue, as it has the Fairmount catalogue number...I wondered if it was done to get interest in a different area of the States, but Fairmount had national distribution didn't it? I've asked about this topic several times, still to get a definitive answer!

At least that's fairly authentic then...

Most definitely...

Pretty sure that Cheltenhams Kenny Rose is on there - towards the top left, just to the right of the guy with a Casino badge in the middle of his vest.

I've managed to resist it so far mate ...I take your point, but I personally wouldn't have a problem playing a CD only cut from CD - just that I never get round to putting them in my singles box!

Oh dear...that means all the guys round here who use professional rigs with built-in CD players will have problems...(exits left shaking head... )

Some nice stuff there Steve - funny 'cos I'm in the radio studio with a copy of Executive about to go on the turntable! Great minds and all that...

Well it must be something in the water 'cos I don't see that down here...

Had to dig it out this morning, haven't played it in ages. Guess what's probably going to get a spin at Berkeley niter this Friday?

Madness I tells ya! ...think Thorsten's a little more realistic at least!

Would have thought 20 - 30 quid would get you one. What did the ebay copy go for? (Not that that's any guide, bearing in mind the Stanley Mitchell saga! )

Yes Pete, it was played extensively at the time - it was one of those "turntable hits" that everyone said was going to be a smash (pop pickers !)....and no one could understand why it wasn't.

Split 45? Never heard of one on Golden World - are those completists who thought that they had the whole label collection going to have to start all over again, or is it just a one off?

Don't take this as gospel, but from a talk with a mate last night, he was led to believe that it was a label mix-up. Mind you it was late, he was excited about it and several glasses of red to the good (apparently!)

Anybody else noticed this? Never heard of one like it before.... https://cgi.ebay.com/Tony-Michaels-Pat-Lewi...1QQcmdZViewItem
