I think it's an acetate that was sold few years ago by someone in the midlands area, Mick Holdsworth????

your only chance is either someone who stocked them (not that many a far as I know) or someone who is willing to sell your their copies. Have you tried ebay etc?

is that first time anywhere?

what is the "relative" unknown? As you've won sure you can spill the beans

Larry Hammond Sad Sad Day (Sidras Theme), Larry Hammond - Whenever I'm Without You (backing to Happiness Is Here), the alt of Elijah Rocking With Soul. What are/is the other one Dave? Apart from 6x6. It was about ten years ago Dave, I remember Dave sent me an e-mail telling the full story but over the years it got lost somewhere. Maybe someone should get the full story from him once again.

there is also an instrumental version with some male harmony in the background and an acappella version of the Prophets - One Gold Piece.....magic stuff. To say the label is shite is a bit of an overstatement, true there are some average tracks on it but there are also some of the best northern recorded as well IMHO. JD Bryant is in my all time top ten, Ray Pollard, Sidney Hall, Cautions etc top drawer!!!

four andantes is usually vg+ at best when they do turn up. not seen many minters.

Brain's waking up...one of the Larry Hammond tracks uses the Happiness Is Here backing called Whenever I'm With You.

yep thats the one Mike, just trying to remember name of track and artist....

Dave did the Sidras Theme one, two Larry Hammond tracks and another that uses the backing to one of the Topper label tracks, forget at the minute which one and the name of the artist.

which one?

but if thats the counter figure at the bottom of the page it's views not watching. I've viewed it but I'm not watching it.

with postage form the states surface, they cost me around £75 ($125) for each volume. Now sorted I hope with the 4th Volume so complete set now

Hi Paul, he only has volume 3 on his site. He may have them but not stuck 'em up on site....hopefully he's reading this sometime soon.

Does anyone know of any stockists of the R&B Indies? I've been on the eyeballproductions site and they have sold out. I'm missing volume 4!!

in the comments it does name some of the dancers... Sandy Holt, Julie Bebb & Co bringing back fab Mr M's memories and great to see the vid as it features lil ole me dave formerly of horwich now in carlisle, sandy holt and johhny burke cant remember the girls soz , the film was for the omnibus programme BBC we filmed it in manchester during the afternoon then on to the casino in the evening, cant believe i had all that hair and It's definately Sandy with the double belt. The black guy is Caeser and I think the other guy is Keb (not sure). The two girls in the background are (I think) Julie (black hair) and Sue Hollis, both from Rochdale. Happy days. It does say after that it ain't Keb, maybe Jethro.

I use download helper (firefox plug in), one click and it downloads the file, same for audio. It only downloads as an flv file though so have to convert. Then I use I tunes for the ipod.

Essential listening, few hours of interviews to catch up on at work next week Bob, keep 'em coming!!!

Been on the ipod a while this one. The dancing is great, effortless. Great record too!!

Was a biggie for Rob Marriott later on in the 80's too.

sure I read somewhere in the mists of time that John Oates played (guitar) on some of the Temptones tracks or other Arctic recordings.

I know there is another release and who is spinning it

CONTESSA - Need Your Love - Laz Bar

Didn't Pat Brady play this first, again covered as the Twans? If so I presume Mark got it from Pat?????
