Morning , cheers (ain't got) NO PROBLEM

Hi Mark you might want to 'edit' and correct Sunny into Sunday... it's with the morning coffee that I'm writing this, but still it didn't struck with a flash of Bobby Hebb hum in the back of my mind... Confusing haze moment ! Tim

In ze pockette ! Yes ?

Well, this quest started/sounded "scary" for a daft geezer like me not in "the known" of the now NS club sounds. But thanks to the crazy YT clip provided by 'huh' I find it rather intriguing even if the guy was looking... not black ! Or not a "typical" NS hero. Still, appealing even if "teeny" on the sides, very pleasant. Live and learn. Me like

A "Mod" night is a night sky with the customized 'Lambretta & Vespa' stellar constellation full on headlights, also the 'BaCKman & Robin' Zodiac who gave their name to the oddest male hair cut the "Back-Comb", a profusion of 'purple pills' shooting stars and a 'Live act' the 'Combat 84'... I meant the 'Brighton 64' LOL !

Not of 'running back and forth' which is the side we're after. That's what I thought.

Different pressing plants for faster cheaper national distribution. Only that I believe since not such a "hot hit" to rerun presses to supply demand. Never seen a white demo of that one though... Can we see ?

Never seen one... Yet ! In this day and age of outrageous forgery re-issues and bootlegging, anything is possible.

False decla The authorities might not be incline to put so much effort to "investigate" if a fraud that involve likely less money than what it would cost them is rather thin... The seller on the other hand if selling through a "big" site is require to follow the site regulation that is at the same time in respect with every country custom and fiscal regulation. For the seller's risk to take blame. Because a profit company with a monopole is free to find it's profit everywhere it can ! Yesterday, due to a misunderstanding from an American seller, I got in my mail box a pair of 45's that added above $22 (above that value Belgium Custom VAT & fee$ are applied) that I did require to be ship separately though. So the pair of 45 transited through Custom. It's summer, holiday time and the postman is on holiday. Students are doing the job and likely didn't read the custom sheet/slip on the parcel to require me the €25 custom VAT (€10) and fees (€15) before handling me the parcel... Instead plain and simple drop in my mail box. Relieved & happy ! Both the seller and I

This MIGHT be northern bbb... But S.O.U.L. ?

Indeed. By the mid 8T's in Europe (meaning not only in the UK) both the mods and rockers were leaning more and more towards digging the roots of Rythm'n'Blues. In blood lines as in music; roots cross to meet at certain depth.

True, but just like for "soul" music and other genres there are many variations of/for "rock and roll" like "western swing"... The American artists were just doing their music not thinking about the scenes in Europe who anyway got some records in common no matter what Brighton 1964 and so forth. This compilation on Island dishing into the Sue back catalogue is a testimony of that;

I can dig "fusion" food, but if I go to the indian restaurant, I would expect to eat indian food and not "fusion". I'm a tad trad maybe, some call it "old school" yet I am curious minded and open hearted but no fool. So I have my principles and stick to them. If I go to a northern do, I want my northern best... no ska, R'n'B and so on and so on. Especially the so called "new breed" thingy... If I go to an R'n'B night, I'm fine with the R'n'B sound (as long as it's not the "new breed" cover-up made-up name for commercial big band R'n'B/pop-corn thingies that I never liked) and the same with modern or deep soul nights. Some crossovers are always welcome IMO. From the root stuffs to the evolution changes of a genre. It was already enough of an issue for me to hear the "Jamaican" ska/reggae sound at soul nights. Music that even though I love and collected just before switching totally into soul music. So to expect to hear stuffs like "Rockabilly" or whatever at a soul do, my vote is unarguably NOT in favor ! No way. I don't even want to know the who, where and why some of the stuffs played first on the rockabilly scene got onto the mod front and found their way on the northern soul scene if ever... And I went to rockabilly do's few times since I had friends into those things. Didn't complain about the music played there since it was what was expected... It's really not my go, but I'm tolerant. All the same if I go to a northern soul night and hear a tune I don't really like, I won't put it down because I can understand that others like it and it's all coherent. If it's a plain and simple crap record then my vote is down. As it would be with a non soul record, no matter how good. What I loved about the soul scene I discovered at the '100 Club' was long nights of dedicated DJ's and crowd for a singular genre of music and records crate digging. As I did found prior on the 'reggae revive' stage of the late 8T's & 9T's. Now I've heard the argument of some folks saying "boring" monochrome music against "fun" variations of music genreS. That don't mean a damn thing to me. Well I still don't find it boring and actually I find it can be rather interesting. Even if by now I tend to prefer a mix of soulS from the classic, to the "rare" 6T's, 7T's, 8T's uptempo, mid-tempos and deep souls blended... On the side of your question, and I really don't want to sound offensive, but 'mod' is not a music genre. It's is/was a style, sub-culture and/or a way of believing/living. The first mods use to listen to contemporary american jazz, then blues and rythm'n'blues and later soul and ska. Before the pop-mod-rock commercialism thing to into it. I was relieved not to find a "dress code" on those first soul nights I attended. I find that it was a good change from the mod, skinhead, rockabilly or what you wanna call them scenes. Dedicated to music for young as well as old punters, collectors, dancers and deejays alike.

Yes indeed, same here at times. ...

All those (last numbers from the catalogue) Revilot are pink labeled vinyls ARP presses. Only Revilot 222, J.J. Barnes, had both a styrene multi "splashed" colors label on styrene and a vinyl pink labelled issue.

Pictures/scans ?

First 3 numbers (wherever is Revilot 202 ?) came out in white as promos and grey as stockers. None of the followings have a white label promo variation after that. And they still all are from the same pressing plant I'd have believe. Only thing is 'our love is (in the pocket)' had a run of pressings with a hand written matrix at one time instead of the machine ones. Maybe a lathe/stamp issue of some sort... This means that both Darrel Banks where continuously pressed.

Actually the firsts 3 Revilot (Rose Batiste + 2 D.B.) numbers came out first on grey paper for stockers. Both Darrell Banks pink ones are the continuous runs due to demand switching from grey to pink (good seller with teeny girls maybe ? LOL) and then right after for the further releases they switched to the "splashed colors" label. Few other later Revilot numbers were released on the pink label. But they were vinyl issues from another pressing plant (don't have them to check, could be 'Nashville' ?) who likely couldn't get the "splashed colors" label variations for what ever reason.

A lot have been said already. Taxes is a very old practice. Existing since the days of old (Kings and Queens, Elfs and Hobits...) called differently according the morality of the day with sometimes slightly different aims. So VAT is actually dating far back in human history. It's purpose can be double or one only at times. Serving at times to protect the "local/national" economy from "unfair/uneven" competition and/or at other/same time to bring in some money into the authority's budget/wallet. In history some "ridiculous" taxes were introduce with undesired outcome to be finally withdrawn in "shame". If you come to visit Belgium, you'll see many "blinded" windows on "old" houses because at one time, a tax on windows was introduce. So the more windows your house had, the bigger the tax ticket was. Landlords swift reaction; to brick as many not "crucial" widows as possible... Then when that tax was lifted off, the landlords found it too expensive to put back all those windows. In the "modern" world of Economy and consumerism, it is often used to protect the local economies from "unfair/uneven" competition. In these volatile nowadays "perverted and polluted" economies the authorities are pursuing the consumers money any which way they can. VAT stands for "value added tax". So to apply VAT once on an out of the factory product have it's "original" sense. But being able to apply that every time it's sold on, on a used object is just plain steal. Without intervening, the tax man could make a profit out of the same once, twice, trice... again taxed object. Sold on every time, the same object small or huge can fetch in taxes 100 times worth it's original or last face value ! Scandalous or outrageous ? What I find rather "trashy" is that even the shipping costs are calculated into the object value. Meaning you pay VAT on the stamps also... For those who don't understand why some sellers are charging higher than others on shipping fees, eBay is charging fees on the shipping costs as well. So not only the States are feeding on the consumer's back... The consumer is the new financial "cow" since the "big companies" were given the opportunity to escape taxes...

Something is missing...

Little Mr. Lee and the Cherokees 'my best friend's girl' is on the Kent 'Sure Sots' comp.

It always was considered rarer by collectors and some do like it's flip-side as well. But on the Sidra 9011 the flip 'step into my heart' is the winner for me.

Two original releases with different flip sides. 1st styrene then 2nd vinyl. First 7T's bootleg is styrene version of Sidra 9011 but dark blue then a recent (?) vinyl bootleg...
