IDNAY, unknown in 1993? Far from it, it was well known and in every sales box 80's into the 90's, cheap as well. Both were cheap in the 80's.

And Flynny's https://capitolsoulclub.homestead.com/sidneybarnes.html

It was 2003 when he appeared. here is Steve G's interview with him...... https://m.mixcloud.com/steve-guarnori/sidney-barnes-interview-2003-on-soul24-7/

Boomerang isn't just crossover and modern. It features more than its fair share of 60's as well, right across the board. You have to know your crowd, book the right DJ's and get the mix right, have faith in your DJ's. Not everyone wants a formulaic night out, many like a bit of variety. if you don't like a particular policy at a venue then keep away, that's my philosophy.

It was radio 2 record of the week few weeks ago.

It doesn't work for you don't you mean? Not everyone prefers it how you want it to be.

Quite the opposite, I would expect quite a few to hit the market now. If I still had this it would be going to John today cause I know I couldn't get that sort of money, here or anywhere else.

That's what I've always thought.

Many studios you could walk in a cut a record. Many just wanted the thrill of having a song on vinyl to begin with. Ambition probably came later.

What does the stamp in the run out say, can see a bit of it?

Bloody hell that is a shock. Not seen Mona for a few years since I moved away from Chesterfield. Sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts and condolences are with his family.

Search for Bags And Beans, thats the name on the label. Unforgettables is stamped on above the title. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-Soul-45-BAGS-AND-BEANS-Trust-Your-Luck-SAMONE-HEAR-/380615105589?nma=true&si=sxQwnWbbJauL%252BJUAUljouxMvFzI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Maybe if you had said the record fooled some, that might have been read differently?? I didn't realise it was all made for the Northern Scene in the UK? Here's me thinking a load of US musicians trying to score a hit either locally or nationally over there, instead they were really making records for us

The record didn't fool the majority, most knew it was a tailor made recent recording straight away. Many a discussion at the time, often very heated. Anyway that is in the past and we all know the history. It isn't that good, Venecia Wilson is better but not much, but like I said there's many an under rated record ignored, records that this scene is all about not recent tailor made material, nothing to do with snobbery.

Yep you are right, Miles Grayson. I still doubt they changed the colour and layout for one release then changed it back again? Not to say they didn't though just logically you would think not.

I was buying both not so long ago. Not sure why as both crap.

There are some great underplayed records out there, proper soul by proper soul singers and people want to play this sh*te.

Everything you read says that blue was first but I have my doubts. The label changed from yellow for the Brenda George to green for the Gaturs, why change to blue and then back to green for subsequent releases? Unless they weren't happy with green so changed to blue? They were then even less happy with blue so back to green? They even changed the layout for the blue release. Logically this wouldn't make sense to change and then change back, logic would say the green were first whilst the label was active and the blue later. What colour was "Peeped"?

P.S. I think it is a great dancer

I would agree, It is the only connection I can see and one of the writing credits having the same surname of Jimmy Lord Brown. I've never seen anything to suggest Flight were Brick or anything else.

It says on the label co-produced by Jimmy Lord Brown/Brick, I guess that is the connection.

From reading the above the label was still run from Cincinnati, especially the recording, mastering and pressing of the records. Most record companies had offices in other cities simply to secure local talent.

I though everything was done in Cincinnati, recording, acetates, mastering, pressing and storage and distribution, everything I've read suggest it was.

They were always in Cinncinatti up until Syd Nathan's death late 60's. As far as I am aware they didn't move to Chicago even when sold on after his death.

Please Don't Go played by a few including Clarky and Pat.
