RIP Winfield.

OK, I could've done that myself... Am rather busy lately so really thanks for that little work. Yes, different takes. Mhm am happy with my long-long owned Shipp press and much more coherent take. Never need to look further on that one

Yes but as a b-side on the Stracker's label which was a NY West-Indians label. To promote it further out of this ethnic domain another label is indeed indicated. Can anyone tell us through a direct comparison if they are the same take/mix ?

To get in touch with September Jones...

That's a Radio link... I'll dig on my side what Paris connections I can come up with and pass it on to you . Oui !

Nowhere to run = German not Holland

Hi Andy, my 2 cents; have you try to see with Gilles Petard from Paris who released the fantastic double 45 of September Jones in 2006 ?

TaStiK tale. Thanks a bunch. Beginning with a Doctor's orders to unveil that very angel's voice face and slice of life into music... A long-long time personal favorite record 'I'm tempted' that I can now "visualize" otherwise. Especially love that early black and white picture of a young 'witty' Barbara AKA Sandy.

'45cat' has good insight chat revealing the delirium quirk based argument on a bootleg theory and the coherent fact based comprehension on it IMHO. Likely the Priority had it's local 'buzz' going on and Fairmount offered to broad the sale distribution on national scale and decided to bypass the promo stage.

Priority... but not by long.

What ? Is someone implying that these are not send to radios, music critics and dj's as promoting freebees before we get to buy them from the record stores shelves ? That they are sold first hand at a higher price !? What idiot would fall for that ? 🤖 Remember early 1990's using to laugh at major ""artists"" fans rushing into the shops to pay stupid money for pre-paid 'numbered' limited new releases... The world is a small place, time is a loop and glory fades quickly. I much prefer the scene back then.

Reputed 'rarer' on issue (IMO a dealer argument) than on demo but to this day I've seen as many of both in any condition with super worthy clean copies being rarer regardless. Real value should be even for both OG release. Popsike show 18 demos for 14 stockers from the eVilBay completed auctions. And discogs show 2 demos for 4 issues in their pasts sales. Price is hard to call; real clean £500-£1.000. Fantastic oldie & collector but booted...

Original versions of both sides of these enigmatic 'Stoppers' yet fantastic group are from two Roddie Joy 45's on Red Bird. Thee Midniters were often covering stuffs. Likely they covered Roddie here...

OK, right. I only looked at the back cover... Yes most likely then. I would guess a pressing plant issue of some sort...

OK, strange thing is that German 45 Vogue pressings exists. In Belgium and Holland it was a practice to give a "local" picture sleeve but then for some reasons mostly within either each other country pressings or with UK import 45's. Vogue is a French label that got releases in many 'European' countries through the sixties. If ever there was an issue with the German pressing plant they could easily have imported batches of the French 45 to forward the national release. Now what is puzzling some if that was the case is that the German catalog number appears on the sleeve but the French 45 stands uncorrected. Even in our Kingdoms (BE & NL) a sticker was then applied on the label most of the time...

May we see the german picture sleeve ?

Well here's both sides of my demo copy. Maybe better but not by a mile... y.mp3

Here's a mp3 I did earlier this year of a spare stocker I had in VG condition (with crackles more audible on the 'now I'm in trouble' side. How does this compare to yours ? ambers verve.mp3

Have my demo and have had stockers in various conditions all playing without major issues from memory. A bit of a Lo-Fi mastering job demanding to 'push-up' the volume to squeeze out some juice from it. Bringing the orchestral mayhem to saturation some. Especially during the horns and strings 'charge'. Bizarre delight 🙉 Unless your copy is one of those that 'looks supreficially' clean but has suffered one of those dreaded groove 'polish' to eliminate surface damage visualy as sonically. That will eliminate most surface 'snap, crackle & pop'. But also make the playback sound thiner with a constant hissing background 'floor noise'. Could it be that ?

Bobby Cutchins any time for me !!! Sings, feels & groove in tune with soul much ease with the tune. Jesse is more a tricky piece of disco re-work requiring to figure out what happened to the tune... Evidently this second verse is a less simple or a happy tale to my ears. Musically at least.

Got my first copy before ever hearing it home. The 'groovy generation' title appeal invited me to play that side first. And there the piano, bass, drum, horns and handclaps introduction blast out of the speakers instantly brought me to heaven ! Billy's preaching was so convincing, it helped me to 'overpass' those teeny vindictive lyrics. That side still remain a found memory from the first time and is my 'preference' or my 'hit' side if you will. But with time I dwelled more and more often during my music session home into 'sweet things' for a 'funkier' and somehow more 'soulful' 2 minutes experience. King of a 2 sider record anyway from a fantastic typical collectable label.

Previously unissued RCA gear then Kent comped on cd.

Great singer yet odd ball 'POP'artist that in my younger days I had trouble to 'picture' and set in the whole 'true soul' frame but with time I got to appreciate for what he is/was in and/or out of the blue eyed soul hall of 'frame'. None the less s-o-u-l. Now I know. Lately I even had to re-purchase 2 of his singles that kept on haunting my showers humming moments; 'you baby' and 'I struck it rich'. They often hit my desk home. Now '1-2-3' & 'it's a cryin' shame' blasts memories out of the past. + R.I.P. Len Barry I'll always love you...

His harder single on on the label. Half the price of a Mint copy but a strong player none the less.
