The thing for me is that the Winner and the Twinight share the exact same credit. While the Bandit copy have another Publishing company and the producer is not Syl Johnson there !!! So I would believe that someone who was in the making of this recording was not happy with the Twinight/Syl Johnson deal and took the tapes to the Bandit studios for a rival release. That's how it makes sense to me. Maybe someone have the Numero group compilations where a more factual explanations are given...

You might want to specify if you want the late 6T's (550 - The Pretenders / The Carnival Kings - I Call It Love / Feelin' Good - 1970) or the 7T's (560 - The Pretenders - I Call It Love / It's Everything About You (That I Love) – 1974) cut...

Don't know that SOA thing, but I do know Linda Jones and wonder what track is that 'since I met you'. Are you sure about the title here ?

It is a bootleg;

A lot are more 'northern' than 'soul', I agree, but a lot also have soul in them. It still is my HQ in music. Just like in return a lot of said (real) 'soul' music are more 'esthetic' (plastic) than soulful I find. Depends what you call SOUL music I'd say. The one you like, the one you don't and the NOT SOUL MUSIC DEFO. True, not that everything and anything is soul, but there is soul and there is soul... Barnaby might have been a 'wannabe' of some sort (judging by the effort he puts in there) to be soulful or something like that, yet still... it's bad enough... agreed.

Don't worry. Crap tune indeed, so just don't mind it...

and if ever you're into the "deep" soul/harmonies kind of things, don't forget to try the flip side for a double winner; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekMONYDWzX4

cute !!!! and no demo for C.L. Blast on United though but a yellow label and dark blue variation...

That Dee Clark is indeed a fabulous "big city sound" kind of "sleeper" at a right price !

OK, not 'stranger' at my door' but 'don't knock me'. Half right Cheers

Well, I never seen nor heard of a Fuller Brothers on a US Bell 45 !

Never seen that ! Are you sure ? Bell from what country ?

It's played on the Northern Soul scene since the called "New Breed R'n'B" wave dropped-in. So not long ago. It does looks absolutely legitimate and was rather made to meet an USA market. I had something like that in my head. Thought maybe another "shagg" sound... but thought someone would know better.

While deejaying last night, my fellow pulled out this 7T's or 8T's issue that I've never seen before; . The record was a "hit" somehow in different places in the USA as the 1962 issue is not rare and was pressed in at least 3 different pressing plants; Would anyone know the story behind this specific reissue (who, why, when...) ?

Likewise, I have a gut feeling that this is not a pressing made for the NS scene. It could be a second release made by them, for them in them days. The distribution/address release might have been a deal that felt through quickly. And so, backed by popular demand re-pressed without the Chess distributed address (who were maybe not promoting it as it should/could be). This disc as such (with and/or without address) is not that rare and was a "local" hit for sure and so we could imagine different rounds of release in a short period while the air-play was still going strong. The Pressing plant for this Johnny Sayles is the same though bothe with and without the address. The "purple" one is a West Coast release on the other hand. Check this one for instance (under the black mark you can read distributed by Bell, Amy, Mala group !!!) ...then... Both are originals but from different pressing plant. And here, the distribution deal felt through after the record was pressed but just before the distribution !

Zample it is !

Same here Chris, I've always knew about it and got my ways around or with it. My point here is not so much on how to get around it and so on, but rather to see how come the EU have no commercial frontiers anymore (so it's open for commercial competition) but when it comes to imports from outside the EU, the taxes do vary and are applied differently between EU countries. I'm not talking about vintage records only. It is for everything that have a commercial value, new or second hand. I just had a bad adventure recently with a Japanese seller (Hi-Fi part made in Japan) who had the stupidest idea the put a slip of the eBay sale of the item in the box mailer (for courtesy the seller said !) while we worked hard in every way to testify to the custom a lower value. So I got f***ked big time. At first I did not understand how the Belgian Custom got around to know the value. The slip inside did that. I needed that part urgently and had to pay in the end and the bad mystery was solved when I opened the mailer that had been open at Custom ! So I had to work out with the custom once again (it's been a long time now). And so, I had to re-discover that, like you say they are like the DVS but worst. The DVS show you how they calculated your tax bill before you have to pay. The Belgium Custom not ! You have to pay and then you can see how they calculated your bill ! I had and still have the gut feeling that the Belgian customs in Belgium is the most peculiar custom administration service in the EU. They work like the mafia. The way they apply the thing is in practice a hi-jack. First you pay then you can see what was destined and actually already belongs to you. And if you're not satisfied with their tax fare and/or calculation or the actual good description (send back for a full refund) you can't get the tax bill refund (even if they recognize the over charge). Once an American dealer, after asking to lower the value which he vigorously agree to do so, gave me a great "little back bite" point of view on how the Americans decided to stop to pay the Dime to the Crown... Before their independence...

TUUUUNES ! What about the music ? I mean crate digging, soundZ and stuffs. Not the whoZ; the what ! The passion, not the fashion ! The "thing" that gathered people, not just another social event...

Totally stick to your points on facts and "have been there" in the "situation". So I relate, understand and agree with you. Cheers for sharing that.

Fantastic legit* !!! Clean plastic !!! Rare records me easily available !!! Underground going mainstream !!! Isn't all that what we came here for ? * legit or somehow or something and the artists are finally earning peanuts out of it...

I do that from time to time for the "important" pieces in my eyes. Still I can't bother too much those nice people to run to the post office all the time because of my vinyl addictions.

Yes, that was exactly my point with one American seller. He replied that he still did sell as much as ever to the UK and Europe... I thought that maybe he was being a bit obnoxious. I've heard many people saying, just like you, that they do not to bother anymore to buy those little tag priced unrare records from the USA... and this seller e-shop is mainly that ?!
