Think I have this on a 7

Hi John was being slightly ironic / tongue in cheek

No John always said he was black Simon. Tim started this "honky" stuff off when he belatedly reviewed it in Manifesto about 3 years after we all started playing it.

Wrong Simon - black artist - don't believe everything Todmorden Tim tells you

Good post Steve.

There's a female version iof this as well also Na Allen

You would be contravening Bye Law 8. Section 5.2 para 1.4. where it says "Disc Jockeys should not play UK first issues, or Uk re-issues unless to be the best of your knowldge and belief, the track being played has been sourced from it's rightful owner, and that royalties have been paid to the owner of the track, and that MCPS have been informed via way of a completed playlist, submitted to their registered office, and that appropriate duties have been paid to the copyright owner. In the event you are unsure of this, best play da next ting in ya box"

Oh yes you do know me

Hmmm you are right paid more than that for my copy

No prices on there.....does anyone know whay Sly & Family Stone went for? Just curious....

Agreed - always loved Rance Allen's version.

Hi Shane, I can tell you that it certainly does not happen in our local evening do's in Herts and Beds, where Djs such as Pete Burton, Pete Hullat, Taffy, Toby, Jo Wallace, R&BMan, Yogi, Andy Kempster, and the Hitchin boys, Big O, Dr Pickles, Hammy etc etc. play original vinyl. This might mean that we don't get to play too much of the "Wigan Top 50", but it makes us all dig a little bit deeper for something a bit different.

Oh you wag!

You complete anorak Baz!

At least 7 versions of "Aint no big thing" the Radiants song... We've done this thread before haven't we?

Dave the Dentist has already mentioned The Equations and I have added Optimistics on Turbo and Bobby Patterson R.P.W.T. Might have an All Platinum day on Sunday There's enough for a Kent LP....

Hi Dave Yes lovely one - got mine from a guy in Florida. Optimistics on Turbo is also pretty good ...and of course Bobby Patterson R.P.W.T and Chuck Jackson "I fell asleep" two stone cold killers from the last years of this label....there's a few to start us off Steve

What nationality?

Hmmm I always thought they cleaned it up somewhat Chalky? That being said not 100% sure, so if you've heard them both side by side I'll bow to your judgment. Agree on catching the thief.

The reality is they're both very good records, and ripe for different moods. So I am not going to get drawn on which one is better than the other. When I originally got the Stang side it was for the slower side "Come back to me". Dean Johnson exactly the same. Sometime later I played it to Sam and he preferred the B side and said that he couldn't use the slower side; anyway he then went and tracked down a copy.....anyway glad you (and Tony) both have it. We should start a best ballads on All Platinum labels thread

Better sound quality on the reissue. Those All Platinum boys couldn't mix a cake!

Simon I only use VC's for acetates which deteriorate, and for a couple of v rare things where I've had the sound quality remastered / cleaned up. I am sure we've done all this before? That's so it doesn't go "snap crackle pop" when you're listening to it My "conversion" came when I noticed my Sam Dees acetate starting to hiss at the beginning - it was a timely reminder to invest £20 in a VC dub before it got any worse. Steve

No, in this circumstance I'd play the vinylcarvers and preserve the deteriorating acetate. Thanks for your thoughts though Ian!

Chris it was about certain people, drugs and jail Meanwhile the rest of us were just having a good time.
