Pete, definitely a more contemporary feel. Better layout (in my opinion) Still not finished reading through it yet Regards Steve

top footage.... who's the introducer?

I take it you mean the live Fingertips part 1/2? As stated above oriole for UK. Anyone know if the studio version that was on the UK EP made it to 45 anywhere else?

Looking at them this am, they are not the most adventurous of sets ~ however on a sunny Sunday afternoon they went well with cold cider.... I’ve said it before, but the “do” has a good vibe. Friendly relaxed and (don’t sn*****) fun. Steve C (not me) works hard to make everyone welcome. Come along next time……you might enjoy yourself. Best regards Steve

there you go............almost later today............ Only 1 with artist on. Last pic: Gino Parks...has another label underneath with same track and reference. this is in bad shape. No artist on others. There's no "Suspicion" hiding in these. "Goodnight Manhatten" would have gone to the garage if it was not a Jobete acetate.... 2 copies of the Fine as Wine. I think they are same cut. I think the 343 is a different take to the Junior Walker LP. Uploading sound files may take me a little while longer (cough...ahem) Best regards Steve

yeah...I have a couple. Will post pics later today regards

yes....Whythenshaw soul? Not a patch on "Where have all the boot boys gone"......and I don't think was played out anywhere either

Thank you... that is mighty....

Kegsy Are you talking about the maroon with silver lettering? Would not surprise me, but need to look to confirm..... I would have thought that the majority of paper labels would be from pre-printed blank stocks to be overprinted with issue details at a later date. Are you thinking its the base colour (maroon) or the overprint that's at fault? ElGeePee no problem.... Some guys were more interested in just having a record out.......I think Berry Gordy was in at the beginning of real marketing.......you know the premise of brand identity and control of ownership over all aspects relating to the sale and use of that brand id. Smart cookie....... The end of the market that the 60's r&b collector is looking at with small indie releases was in many cases a do it cheap as possible....spelling mistakes or colour variations would have been of little consequence to many. The larger labels were also capable of poor QC. I have a Pirates on Miracle that's had the overprinting doubled.......mint copy but the label is a mess... I have a couple of Revilot issues that have 2 labels on 1 side....factory cover-up? That's before you start to look at mis-pressings...........but you can't blame the poor printer for those In this homogenous world, I guess that may be part of the charm of collecting what are now relics of a by-gone age?

Well, it looks like I should not be mixing work and pleasure Before anyone else decides to mis-interpret my post........... The label variations are mostly due to print differences.... "...Well, his varying colour quality point DID apply to US 1960s offset printers..." Agreed. Please re-read my post. ".....Last time I operated a Heidelberg was 1994, so I have to bow to your professional knowledge or more likely I didn't know what I was doing....." Not sure about the tetchy answer...apologies if you have taken my comments to read you are incorrect.......I have not slighted your professional knowledge. The ability to analyse, re-produce and maintain colour accuracy has moved markedly in the last 20 years. "‹Again you are correct in that colour variation can be great within even small runs....for too many reasons to discuss in this forum. For the market sector we are concerned with, (paper record labels) the QC applied will have been negligible. "‹In the time period concerned the technology was still developing. Both flexography and litho-offest were in the ascendancy over letterpress. Measurement and application of uniform values was down to "human eye" not spectral or densitromic. For the reasons stated by Robb the variations could be great. For the record (no pun...) whether it's geeky or not, poor quality print really p@sses me off. Without been too "precious" print is still an art. It is difficult to maintain colour accuracy and consistency throughout a print run. It is however possible...which was my initial observation...... ..........anyway I must get back to measuring my delta e values.............. (in-joke)

"........If you've ever worked with large scale offset printers, you'll notice the colours will vary as you go through a job as ink saturation will change the shade throughout the printing process. There also may be variations if you have too much blue or not enough yellow or whatever. The only way to avoid this is with gravure printing but that's way too expensive for something like record labels....." Got to disagree.....as a member of the beleaguered print trade i would counter that it is possible to ensure colour consistancy throughout a print run. This involves calibration, process controls and monitoring.....probably beyond the reach of most US print plants in the 60s, but definitely within the scope of a good contemporary UK printer...if you are experiencing colour variation within a run then address it by using a better printer.....and no this is not a plug for work I am currently working solely within the flexo arena for packaging....but I am sure I could give a recommendation for a decent litho printer if you need one. Regards

Craig Moerer auctioned one a good few months ago.......I'm sure he he had it down as Paul Guitar Johnson Its not a bad track.....when I got mine 20 plus years ago I had no idea of who it was......and used to play it as "not the CODS" I will stand to be corrected.....and won't mind been wrong regards steve

if it's any consolation, the thick end of 30 years ago, my puppy ate a copy of Dee Dee Sharp on UK Action...... thankfully it was her baby teeth.......but it was still f@cked..... still got the single............would make a good clock.....

yes from memory its Paul Guitar Johnson.....cant remember proper catalogue number... better record imho.....old favourite play. will look later when back in house. regards

Hi Jim, thank you for the invite. I hope all went down ok? Sorry I had to rush off but I was up for a boat at 05:00 the following morning.

Hi Ian, did you go through all the test presses? i lent mine to Phil to send to you for this. There were 2x Jones Girls ~ I am not certain both are the same cut. I do have cloth ears though. Who was the Let the love grow by? I did not think it was Brenda Holloway. Also are the Satisfaction Unlimited's exactly same as the LP cuts? Best regards Steve Best regards Steve

That looks exhaustive Ian.

Spot on..... really soulful album for 2014. the last track is really good. available on 45?
