Doh ! pottsy's "THEORY" looks like it just became a "FACT" john. Now have a look at the wax on the white demo, you'll find that interesting. Regards, pottsy

That's right Pete. That's why I explained what had gone on in my post.

Depends how you look at it John. Looking in from the outside it may seem laughable to you, but what you have to remember is that the person that Shifty sold it too is a good friend of his. And I may add a very good friend of mine too. It's all about a two way traffic system, helping each other, NOT just taking or trying to screw the last pound out of each other. I know for a fact that these two fellas have both helped me in the past So, yes it was a recent sale, & like Russ has said...a nice white demo for £700. Regards, pottsy.

That's right, they did. My mint- copy jumps near the end. There are two presses of the issue ( & i'm not talking about the bootleg), then there's the demo. When Gwen first came over to the U.K. & Rob Thomas got those copies off her we went back to my chalet with them. It was at that point I realised there were two presses. One (the same as mine in the photo) has a narrower run in & run out dead wax compared to the other. These copies have real tight grooves. It's a much louder recording than the other press. This is the press that is prone to have the jump towards the end. However, in those copies there was one that didn't jump at all, then another one jumped sometimes. I played all the copies. The other press, with the wider run in/run out, was made from a different vinyl & pressed on a different press. Like I say, lower volume, but these DON'T jump. I seem to remember the green was a touch lighter in colour on these. When I asked Gwen if she remembers anything about why there were two presses, she didn't. Hope this helps. pottsy ps There was a photo that I took of Tommy holding all the copies that night in the chalet, it went in Manifesto at the time, perhaps he can remember how many copies there were.

As a matter of interest, did Rob Thomas get the master tape, or access to the master tape off Ady ?

I have told this one on here before, but whilst you're finding it a little painful to sit down James, perhaps this will bring a touch of light relief. A few years back I was sitting talking to a mate from the states about Gloria Gaynors - Never can say goodbye. He said, I wonder how many top u.k. dj's will know the flip to this massive hit? Good point I said, lets find out ! So, I just happened to find an old one sided acetate without a label on of the flipside down the garden shed, like you do, ahem. That weekend, Sam & Arthur were at Bedford. Armed with the portable I set up shop. Have a listen to this Sam, see what you think. Nice he said, how much ? No sorry mate, want to keep it. Arthur...that's nice. Into the picture walks Rob Thomas. Have a listen to this Rob. Rob blasts forth with a rather eloquent " Give that fooker ere, sure you must owe me for some fookin thing!" & off he drones into the distance emitting a sound very reminiscent of an old Lancaster bomber. Next weekend he's behind the decks, prime spot, playing all his big numbers. Puts on the Appointments - I saw you there. Then puts on "HIS NEW BIG DISCOVERY". A bloke comes walking from the middle of the dance floor & up to the decks & shouts at Rob " why are you playing the flip to Never Can Say Goodbye?" Regards, pottsy.

NO ! I'm right ! Even though I know I might not be ...but if I say it loud enough & lots of times, well, they'll go along with it !

F***k me Seb, you're starting to sound like Manship

That's right Dazz. I think the fact that there's 22 U.S. copies on popsike & all of them are on Minit, & there's not one on Imperial says it all. Nice find Juddy! pottsy

Here ya go ! https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/searchartist....LATER%2C+PATSIE

Hi Mark, Nice one, yes I did mean label releases. So looks like there's a few things on the label then, as that one you've posted up is D-104. Anyone know what the others are? Regards pottsy ps sorry salvosoul, dont want to hijack your wants thread.

Hi mate, Potsie Slater, it's Patsie, i'm Potsie Interesting thing, the "Bye Love" has the same release number as her one on the blue Douglas label D-100. I must admit i'd not really listened to this side before, just the other side, which is not a bad dancer. Are there any other releases on the label? Regards, Potsie

Hi Jo, This wasn't Paul Dunne's playlist, it was mine. How do I remember ? A mate of mine took a cam corder & recorded the whole night & i've just sat & watched bits of it. I had hair ! It was before 2003. I'll have a look later & see if there is a date on the film footage. Do you remember saying I had to play the Tokays for Paul TP? Nice seeing all the old faces...Dave Flynn on the dance floor. Do you remember those mods in Parkers & shades from America that came in looking for me. They were trying to look cool, but because it was so dark & they had shades on one fell over a chair. You then called me & asked me to send you a play list. Had to do it by post as it was before we had a computer. oh dear Regards, pottsy.

John, now you're starting to worry me mate You're right, totally forgot about that. How come you know my dealings better than me Hang on, this is two days on the trot you've been home in the day time. You're not being imprisoned & sexually abused against your will, are you ?

Exactly. Also because they are very brittle styrene you can have a mint looking Shrine that hisses all the way through. I've got a mint looking Enjoyables & one that looks vg- & it's the vg- one that plays the best. At least with Mikes copy of the Cautions you know you are getting one that plays nice. Sounds a bargain to me. By the way, I know this is not the time & place to go into an in depth discussion about it, but some of the Shrines actually had two presses at two different pressing plants, & that includes things like Shirley Edwards, Sidney Hall, etc.. Some were Bell Sound pressed/stamped. Lot of facts about the label yet to emerge. pottsy

P.S. When in that earlier post I said there was something in the label credits about 'country club' it was 'country squire motor lodge'

That's not my copy, mine was/is mint. Better have a look in the shed, may still have it. Value? well it's rare, but it's a bit naff. I did try to like it but couldn't, so I evicted it down the garden path...dont know, £30?

Hi Matt, Sadly it doesn't fall into the normal pricing category, as I dont think the few owners will part with them. I was round my mates house last week playing his copy, the group flip is fantastic. I know this doesn't help mate, sorry. pottsy

Come on then Craig, I know it was a joint effort, but your covers blown mate post up the info. Did you get it off me? If not, it may still be out in the shed & i'll have to look for it.

Hello John ! bloomin eck, you've got a better memory than me mate. I think you've got it

oh blimey yes, had this a few years ago. Now who was it by, the label credits were something about 'country club'?? like Tommy says, light blue label.

About the same price as an original Primers round at the label owners place before anyone else had been round there Couldn't believe it when I first heard the record. Infact i'll play it Sunday at dkof. The record is a touch different to the version he had on the tape. So are these new 45's the same version as the record?

That's the one Gene. So, what's the score on the vocal over double cookin called "you're the fire" credited to Del Satins featuring Adrienne Williams ? Rumour has always been a S.S. thing. Any actual facts re this ? pottsy
