Morning, what you up to tonight

Audio discs, acetates, studio discs, emidiscs are all basically the same. They are wax cover steel discs, used to cut one off or small runs of song(s). This was done for several reasons, as a quality check of a tune before going to pressing, as an advance promotional tool, to be given to record company executives so they could listen a give views or for unsigned artist(s) to send record companies. Different people use different terms but they all have the same meaning, except Emidisc. Although it is the same type of disc, it is a brand of disc, that was used in this counrty both by professionals and by bootleggers. It has become the common term on the soul scene for an illegal copy on one of these discs of a tune. So is given little value. Otherwise these studio discs could have great value as somethimes they can be of a different version of the released track, or a completely unreleased tune.

Hi Mark your right, but it's only on the original. When they issued it over here, they put a dub on the flip

No, I first played it in the mid 90's at Manchester Ritz, as a new tune. Came from a friend in New York, who collects group soul. Dave

One closed on Manship's auction a few weeks ago, I'm sure someone on here will know final price

That's why I put it up, promised so many people a sound clip but couldn't remember everyone, so was easier to put it on here. Dave PS will be big again at Soulshakers International @ Solihull FC

OK I bring mine as well and we can flip for who plays it Dave

I paid £100 back then and I'd still pay the same now

Hi Steve I've got one of the Nick Allen's been thinking of playing it out to . But mine's on T.I.M.E. out of Raliegh, North Carolina

Nice early 70's Detroit instrumental Johnny Grifiths-Unknown.mp3 - johnny grifiths - cbs studio disc 15049 refosoul

Going through some acetates this morning and found this 6 mins of soulful magic Summer girl - sound experience - frankford wayne studio disc 15048 refosoul

I agree, a few have turned up, I've had 2 and Neil Rushton had a whole bunch. But if I remember right, when I spoke to James Bynum at the time of release, he said they only pressed 500 and most were being sold direct to the UK, not wholesale.

A couple more Ronnie Loveman Stokes-Touch you again-Philly City James Bynum-I don't want to lose you-Philly Town(Not that good though) And about time this hit the wheels of steel again Jesse Mitchell-It could of been different It could have been different - jesse mitchell - jdm 15035 refosoul

Is turning out to be an interesting tread. Also learning a few things from it which is always good. I think that there are a fair few 12" from the 80's that, as yet, are not well know and could turn out to be very hard to find. Agree about best, but then this tread would run to pages and pages, as everyone one has their own fav. But keep them coming peeps Here are a few more, not saying they are ultra rare, but nice tracks and hard to find. We need Pete Haigh on this tread, I'm sure he could trow up a few more Maye Ervin-What is it-Music International The Mood-Get the love-World Jam Spirit Band-Keep your love alive-RSP(Bit boogie) Rosey Jones-Have love will travel-Wickett(Interesting re-mix)

Does anyone one have a sound clip

George Benson-The world is a ghetto/Miroslav Vitous New York City- Warner Brothers DJ special 12" is hard
