You also have to remember that one set of stampers is only good for a 1000 presses give or take. So one acetate creates a father from which several mother are created and from the mothers you get the daughters which are the stampers, I think thats the process from memory. All stages will wear before the whole process is started again, if you sell enough records. from one acetate, two mothers would have been created minimum from which you get at least two sets of offspring, one for each side. That would be your two runs. One set of off spring for each plant if there was two plants or the two individual runs. it could also be just one run with two sets of labels.

Garry and John A had a 100. They did a deal with a distributor for T.K. Stock but had to take a 100 count of every record not just what they wanted.

The label was probably changed as they didn’t have the original artwork? Maybe it was another plant who simply laid the design out differently If something sells you do another run, thats how all releases are done including number ones, pressed to demand Its rare, I wouldn’t say very rare, just not obtainable as it is a keeper. Also a reissue would be done from new master.

Sassy was first, local label. A distribution deal was done with Gamble thats why Billy Jackson still had all the Sassy stock. Think it was nearer a 1000 that Neil eventually got, 800 initially? Which was first in the Uk dunno, thought it was Curtis not Levine as well?

No it doesn’t and you know that as well. Every big seller is pressed in batches, they simply don’t press 10.000s at a time. Its simply another run. Besides no one knows which was first.

Yes I was aware but the dance floors over here still don't know it and it would probably clear most dance floors. "You Got To Do Your Share" another cracker by her.

I agree and never really made it, I doubt the mainstream know it at all

We’ve had cd swaps here and elsewhere over the years I’ve been transferring tapes I’ve still got, a few 4/500 or so

It was issued for commercial gain for the very first time on the usual pink label imprint. The fact they were all sold to the UK is irrelevant, they are not reissues.

Doesn’t really affect you does it? I didn’t go to the last one but done the previous ones with no issues. Didn’t wear a mask but I sanitised often.

I think or I heard he was asked to press the Carstairs not a case of him rebuilding after the failure of Chess/GRT, by John Anderson maybe? The pink ones are issues, not reissues, done for commercial reasons just like any other release. It never had a commercial release so cannot be a reissue.

The Redd Coach distribution deal with Chess records ended so with no distribution for the Carstairs it would be pointless pressing it. The issues were done to order at a later date for the UK scene, not the US market.

Nothing intriguing, they were recorded/ mastered at different times. “I’ll tell the world” was previously released as an instrumental b side on a sunlovers 45. MBCFOONW exists I believe on a one sided 45, Joey obviously had no flip for it or pressed as an early promo to get it on the radio stations and then added the other side later. Not the only time he has pressed a single sided 45.

It had no chart success, it was never issued for sale in the USA.

Levine did hear it in the States but couldn’t get the radio station to part with it. He got his copy from Soul Bowl. Its all documented if people care to do a bit of research.

The x signifies the b side

Ted Taylor 790 quid jeez. some fools have been parted from their money again tonight…..

That was set in stone at the time of Joey being asked, he didn’t know where he was. Of course that could have changed but it is extremely difficult tracing someone who is in the care or hospital facilities, they will not divulge any information due to data laws. One of the Servicemen was in a care home, I was in touch with him, but once he was moved they wouldn’t tell me anything nor Larry from the group.

From the Inspirations Story which can be found on this site put together with the help of Kev Roberts…… “As for Johnny Hendley, his whereabouts are unknown although Joey is actively attempting to locate him. It was said at one time he was in a bad way in hospital, possibly a mental institution…hopefully this wasn’t the case and he can be found fit and well.”

Suspenders? Braces you mean? It is Bub as said and it is my photo, nice of him not to ask permission 🙄

Ir is extremely rare and for something like Huriah Boynton to fetch nearly as much just shows how fcuked up the collecting scene is. It is. As said it is a west Coast record too not Detroit. You only have to look at they other releases which bear the same credits or similar & even have an address. PS Just seen the follow up posts with the label scans 😉

They have all been pretty good what I have attended in Chesterfield, people respectful of others etc.

They are held outside, usually markets. Suppose you have to use some common and socially distance best you can, wear a mask it you wish and sanitise…..if it bothers someone, stop in
