On the much rarer Mod-Art label, this now well established Chicago favorite Lo-Fi (sounds from a cassette session recording) hypnotizing tune is a need. Even though this actual copy is only in overall VG condition (strict grading), due to some wear on the label and marks on the vinyl with a slight edge heat warp, it plays as strong and as good (for what it's worth) as my minty Masterpiece label one. I've compared them both side to side and they sounded both the same on every aspect. confidentials.mp3 Scans and sound clip of both sides with needle drop and lift from actual record for sale.

Once upon a time, King Kong had a quiet place... Until some western business crook showed up...

Are you implying it is not Kong ? 🤔

Things of beauty 🤢, I collect those 🤥 and find it hard to get a proper discography 👸🏽 of the Kingy records 🙈 and their rather complicated catalogue numbering system 👾... Boot or worthless reissues... as Johnny Moore sang; Just be for real !

This is how pervert "masterminds" operate. Just like to spread rumors, take some true facts then add up all the little twisted lies to trouble any attempt to tell appart the facts from the "mythology". This is how fake "historians" help create new Nations with "founding myth" made of that.

Not so surprised by the general score and the Camaro's 2 extra leading votes (the rarer one). Loving the "rare" soul scene, I have also come to understand that is not always the "better" that takes it all. Although to me it's only second to first and not even on the same 'sides' (lover come back) so not such a big deal either.

?

Mmh, I can't be definite but unless this HMC was the first release (1983-4) for the label, the 'Juke Box' design is the adopted design for all the other releases of the label 7" and LP's alike. Couldn't find a coherent discography and their catalogue numbering system is rather of the confusing kind. And this is supposed to be from 1978 ... Now couldn't the "scroll" design be a much later re-issue done to supply a new demand if ever ? NC labels use to do that a lot. Some even almost continuously. The "scroll" design used the same stampers for the label credentials. Only the logo changes. Likely done at the same pressing plant.

Delacardos rarer & shiny PROMO full on nice-nice Ex that looks good as it sounds.

Even though their later releases are indeed much harder to find since rarer, their earlier efforts show what they had best to give IMO.

OK, I went to dig the copy out. Took me some time to locate it, and yes. You are right and I've corrected edit now from my initial mistakes (we learn everyday) mixing the EMI (1979) with the first RCA (1983) and I admit indeed not of the British pressings school thingies. Thanks !

OK, corrected. Thanks !

Vinyl is vinyl whatever they are (originals, second issues, foreign pressings (Brexit included (LOL), re-issues and bootlegs). Vinyl 100% is that. But at an OVO night, one will have to do it's little original vinyl police work to ensure that they also won't play any original styrene press either ! 😬

Before the internet days I was curious to hear the rare and then "hyped" Camaro's... Owning Jackey Beavers version that I always loved for it's raw, spontaneous and desperate teen plea with energy, I was rather disappointed the day I finally got to hear the Camaro's version which have none of those original characteristics. As for the Continental Showstoppers it leaves me rather cold as it's just not my kind of stuff. But for those who do, it's a well done treatment IMHO. And the Karen Stribbling misses it all evidently. Yet I do know folks who like and even seek that "Lo-Fi" in there. So for different reasons, each of these 4 sides do have their "crowd".

My friend Sven Becker's finds on that far side of the world; the Pillipines. He finally sent me photos off which I find those most "eye wondering".

Totally second that. Records are made to be played, loved and cared for. Like he did. And that is in home collections. Not in museums or libraries. So even for BobA legacy, to make a comprehensive like documentary with all his radio shows on DVD or so, funded with the sales of his record collections, should be something much more eloquent. But who am I to judge...

Jimmy Radcliffe on original Musicor is vinyl only and so there's no styrene pressing as far as I am aware. Bootleged as a white promo (also on vinyl) altough. And you're right, Tobi on a white Mala is something I've never seen before... a rarer mis-press variation maybe ?

Earl Gains "miss press" featuring the first take (1966) of 'you belong to me' that was later re-recorded in 1968 more in a typical 'blues' style. This faster earlier version is available only on some 7" mislabeled as 'I have loved an I have lived'.

Harder 1st take press that has a channel missing (bass and heavy horns) to an effect that some prefer. This naturally gives it more dynamic "kick" which somehow makes it a swifter dancer track. This miss recording, mastering and pressing is also the less seen version of them 3 stocker issue pressings ! Often wrongly referred to as the "1st mix", it actually is another studio take. The way to tell both takes appart by the matrix; the first take pressing has a 'Nashville matrix' stamp with the proper catalogue matrix. Then came the 2nd take with scratched out reversed matrix still with a 'Nashville matrix' stamp. Finally came a third and last pressing with the 2nd take with re-corrected scratched in catalogue numbers on the matrix with a 'Bell sound' matrix stamp this time. The 1st take for sale on here is in Ex condition. That should be good enough for both collectors and picky DJs alike. This 2nd take was not re-issued... £125 Free shipping all over the world, add £6 to have it registered. Scans and sound clip of both sides with needle drop and lift from actual record for sale.

How much does the FIRST take with one channel missing (bass and fat horns) on Thelma goes for ? It seems seldom seen and couldn't find much on it... Knowing that both following releases of the SECOND take with the 'Nashville matrix' scratched-out catalogue matrix and the last 'Bell sound' stamped with corrected catalogue number matrix ones go for £150 and about.

Never had one with reversed labels...

OK, maybe I too should also be a tad less affirmative at times. Not to make things easier to tell the 2 different takes (not mix) by the eye (the ear will tell instantly), I have come by a last variation of the 2nd take (full with bass and horns) with a non scratched out ZTSX 97700 matrix ! The original attributed catalogue ZTSX number for the 'A' side 'don't lead me on' is 97699 and ZTSX 97700 is initially for the 'B' side 'what did I do wrong'. So my theory now goes like this; the first take/release is the one with the right matrix with the channel issue (lacking bass and horns). Noticing the mistake, a re-recording (or another take) was re-released instantly. Only this time the sides got mixed-up at the mastering stage and 'don't lead me on' got the B-side ZTSX 97700 scratched in matrix and 'what did I do wrong' got the 'A' side ZTSX 97699 scratched in matrix. A third and last release with the full bass and horns take was issued with the previous inverted matrixes scratched out and correctly re-scratched in as shown on the right in my previous post ! And this time it has a machined 'Bell sound' master instead of the 'Nashville' as the 2 previous releases have. Phew...
