The Larry Marks acetate states that it was for the VMC label. I've just dug out a VMC listing and there is a 45 in it by "The David" entitled yep you guessed 'Don't Slam The Door In My Face'. It is the flip to a track called 'Sandy'. I can't find a sound file anywhere, does anyone have the 45 by any chance? Does anyone have a sound file I could maybe listen to somehow?

We'll be seeing you in baggies and vest next

Nice one pal, appreciated.

most smart phones have recorder. I keep thinking of getting one of tnose Tascam recorders. Knowing me I'd forget about it or it would get nicked.

Just looked and no. The 45 was few years later.

Not sure Kev without looking, I have it on a 45.

Previously unreleased gem from Daptone a couple of years ago...

Remember it well Steve. John Kingan went and got his and my copy on a wednesday I think it was before they sold out.

Hi Soap, I'm gonna have to go in the garage and see what tapes I have left, a decent recording if the track will do for now.

Writer C. Pipkin, Producer Chester Pipkin. Irving Music Co. Matrix/label number right hand sideof labe under producer (CJ 12-A) with #6 underneath.

'Don't Hurt Me Baby' and I can't help you with anything else righ now.

I knew you had it early and played it at the Hollingwood, didn't realise or remember it being the first.

Bump...anyone, just the second track needed.

My headmaster at school, he was about 110 years old, I remember he used to wear then so they were never trendy or cool enoug for me to wear plus they looked fookin awful.

The first track is I think Leonard Whiting on Pye, thought it was female at first.

The Lp was definitely done late 80's and no second run. My mate went on his scooter to collect our copies in person.

The track in question is the second one of these two, I would also like the first one identifying as well. https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/saus-duo

The LP was late 80's. At the very latest really early 90's. It was before reconsider. The 'unissued' tracks on that LP were sent over to Rod Shard on a tape by Robb K in late 81 early 82. It is common knowledge who did the LP, vol 2 never came out.

I reckon you are talking about the Motown LP The Marriotts did........before Reconsider as well. I'm struggling to think of another.

Am I missing summit? Where is the evidence? All I see is two flyers with no evidence on either of reconsider? You could have saids all the above without the flyers? I haven't seen nor can I find any evidence of a bootleg LP with Reconsider on it either?

There is/was an acetate on Youtube... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Larry-Marks-Sandy-Dont-Slam-Door-Rare-Northern-Soul-Acetate-45-HEAR-BOTH-/380860878703 Saus used to play a track covered up as Billy Joe Royal "Lost And Lonely", it is the Don't Slam The Door but I'm not sure if it is same singer, tape quality is pretty poor. The tape is from 1993. Did this get a release by anyone else or a 45 release by Larry Marks? I'm not interested in whether you think it is sh*t or not, just after the facts.

It was definitely doing the rounds 92/93, I remember it from Keele, probably the first place I heard it actually thinking about it.

I remember first hearing at Keele I think Mick. Rob Wigley also got one quite early and was playing it at The Hollingwood Hotel nights we had in Chesterfield.

Those who were given copies of reconsider prior to those sold were given the same copies as far as I can remember. I had one but moved it on as I got sick of hearing everyone playing it. As for Carla Thomas, Ady had been playing it a long time before the anniversary 45 came out.

I doubt there was a test press, they were boots, it isn't as though you are sending them out as promos either to generate interest for future sales. Any given away would be from the same batch as those sold, might have had a different stamp on them but the pressing would be the same. I'm sure I saw it with just Reconsider stamped on it and then the fake test pressing one with details written in. I've just pulled the 'This IS Northern Soul' comp from the shelf. In it Chris King writes about Reconsider that it was discovered by Pete Lowrie when he acquired some reference dub plates on one of his trips to America.
