Here is the R.P.R acetate, think this is from Mick Holdsworth's website, can you confirm Mick? info says: Eight inch reference acetate, scrolled to 7''. This is a slightly longer version, maybe 8/10 seconds longer, where Jimmy stops singing and the music and backing singers briefly carry on without him. The reverse is uncut and unlabelled. Light background noise, listen to soundclip.

PM'd you

This is really sad news, he was a lovely bloke, Rest in Peace Jim

If anybody wondered where this brill site had gone, it seems to disappear and reappear quite often, but it’s now been hosted by a chap called David Sayers alias Recordmuncher. I was glad to find it again... https://sleeves.bigboppa.co.uk/

come up a quite a few times, you can read all about all the releases .. >>HERE<< If I remember right the boot, or one of the boots is WD with small writing, without Records Inc below the Hickory Logo.

I'm on the side of more Issues than demos...

100% yes... there is allot on this in Richard Searlings interview with him in the early 9ts, you can get that on CD still...

Like the track at 2.15:58, right up my street that is... sounds like something Depeche Mode might have done, not their early 8ts chart stuff, their later stuff. This guy didn't do a track listing did he?

Happy Birthday Peter, have a fabulous day mate 😉

this is a good one, Revenge is sweet! it's not a Night of Satisfaction!!! lol

Hi folks, anybody got the Expansion release of this one? I have the LP, but I hear the Expansion release is really good sound on it. Chas ‎– For Your Love / Expansion Also looking for the 7inch release of Jean Carn - Sweet And Wonderful on TSOP, I can see the copy in the states via Discogs, prefer to buy from the Uk if I can. Will pay £20 for either above, must be nice clean copies, label and play. Thankns in advance Malc

It was a Shifty discovery, it's an untitled acetate, but know as either ‘If I Ever Love Anyone It's You' or more commonly 'It's You'... was played at a really great time, stuff like Mayfield Singers was getting played, my favorite time on the soul scene in the late 9ts...

Clara Hardy And The Magictones is the first one, B4 Jean carter, now we are talkin 🙂 these are great to watch, thanks for posting

I thought the Second is Butch's Jean Carter - I Wanna Know cover up, so I assume this is Butch Djing...

Thanks Mike, the old man has just got a new hearing aid, but we still couldnt talk over that!

Have changed my alert preferences, but they are still coming... this is what Im getting again and again

Not on the the Grapevine Lp, so I guess its like an EMI disc type thing, they (BECK STUDIOS) were just another outfit that cut to order... cool disc though... 🙂

yep, I have had 74 so far, but all the same one, Joe Simon - No Sad songs.... issue is they are coming up on my phone, and I cant speak to anybody as I'm getting repeated notifiction bells... Can you make it stop Mike? Malc

Ok, I knew I'd read it somewhere, this is on a current John Manship auction, for a Tony Hester acetate, which mentions Beck Amplification, as to whether its one of the acetates Poke asked to be cut, possibly? I can't see a Northants studio doing too many Soul acetates, I guess we need to confirm if August & Dean came out on Grapevine LP, or was scheduled to do so...I'll check mine just now... ----- REWRITE! After talking to Blair Hayden "Poke" as he is much better known, when he worked for Soul Bowl in the 70's, one of his tasks was to cut necessary promo acetates he went to BECK STUDIOS to see Derek Tompkins. This acetate is NOT a acetate he had cut for the Grapevine LP but an acetate John Anderson brought back from Richard Popcorn Wylie when the deal was struck for the rights to release his work through Grapevine. So "Poke" feels this listing is an authentic original Richard Popcorn Wylie 1965 7" acetate John Anderson of Soul Bowl was compiling for the Grapevine first album release. And what a album to launch at the zenith of Northern Soul movement. The 20 track Various Artist – Talk Of The Grapevine - including a mindboggling 7 previously unknown and unreleased from the vaults of the genius partnership. An album underling the lengths John went to, to unearth exceptional Northern Soul that was to treat Wigan Casino faithful to just the finest Northern Soul tracks. Where as the Betty Boo 7" acetates were cut at BECK in Kettering with Red labelling. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/tony-hestor-spaceland-blank-blank-acetate-7.html

Need to check another recent thread, but isnt this the lot 'Poke' used for acetates for the Grapevine label, the 7ts one. I'll check...

I've been watching 'Masters of the Air' on Netflix, I'm hooked, but still not convinced. CGI'd beyond belief, as you would expect, there is a distinct lack of Flying Fortresses in the world. Other than that, the language is hard to pick, and that’s a mix between what they are saying and how the actors are saying it, and the actual quality of the sound. For example, a crew out under the wing very early morning, well they didn’t look cold to me, and the sound was just a single level, everybody heard each other no problem, you would be shouting at each other on a runway, and noise would likely drop off quickly, didn’t seem real to me. The accents, I don't know, some of the dialogue just goes over my head, as if they are mumbling their words, I guess they would of sounded like they were from outer space to Brits, but it's still...MMmmmmrrrr.. As for the plot, yep, it's all there in the history books, the wings expolits over Germany and Europe, but did US servicemen fight with British crews in the pub, must have happened I guess, but given they were all fighting the Germans, it seemed a bit forced. As for any reference to any other nationallities involved in WW2, other than the enemy, and bit part down the pub for some unlkely RAF blokes, the US 100th Bomber group seemed to have done everything in WW2! All in all, not as good as it's predecessors, 'Band of Brothers' 'Pacific' and 'Private Ryan', this series althoiught good, lacks a realness, maybe thats the CGI in it, but I'm now glued to weekly Friday night episodes... Might go see 'The Zone of Interest' at the Cinema, see what thats like.

Thats madness on Danny White pink demo, especially when Charles Spurling made £200...
