Real ones ... ?

Personally speaking I would rather buy a cheap Timex than wear a fake Rolex ... I hope you spent the twenty-seven years saving up for a real one ...

Sort of folk buying these are cut from the same cloth as those who happily wear counterfeit Rolex watches and Fred Perry's and drive 316i's with fake exhausts and M-Power badges , they'll never change ... and you'll never stop the counterfeiters either so just get over it ....

Another Saturday evening of great sounds from the '45s' team and distinguished guests ...

Quick reminder post to let you all know that I'm nearly up to date with Mark's sets , just pop onto my Mixcloud page and scroll down until you find something you fancy ....

Well what a day that was , if you're in the market for a session of something different rather than the 'same old' then you're in the right place ....

Trust me , I didn't ...

I'm pretty tired of hearing all of the above ..... 🙉

In "Sales" on here ....

You don't need to , he's got it up for £100 ...

To save people getting lost looking for the video ...

Well that places it nicely between 45-606 Eddie and Ernie "I'm goin' for myself"with 65 EA 194 and 45-608 Eddie and Ernie "Outcast" with 65 EA 245 so a very probable candidate as a test pressing for the 'missing' 45-607.

Interesting from a historical standpoint ... but that's one awful vocal ... 🙉

'My Love Is Real' all day every day ... can't believe they switched A and B sides on the Jo-By release.

You can keep the Darrell Banks , dinked or not , but if anyone's struggling to think of a Christmas pressie for little old me there's a space on my shelf just waiting for that Nancy Wilcox acetate ...

100th Anniversary ..... I know this Covid thing's been dragging on a bit but I'm sure we've only missed the 41st ...

Totally different voice ... and too early.

Could be , a lot of water under the bridge since '65 ... can't see it being in a pile of returns though , doubt a single sided test press ever made it out of the plant/record company , especially if it were never issued as seems a likely possibility. Would love to see it up close and get a loupe on it under a decent lamp , just need to find out which 'billy big-bollocks' forked out the $3000 .

I've turned 'em , flipped 'em , embossed 'em and still can't decipher 'em , looks like a rubber stamp mark ... ? Not giving up yet though ... two things I love are a mystery and a challenge ....

So female artists on Eastern around 65/66 , Tina Britt and Jean Wells , would say possibly Tina Britt as Jean Wells has a very distinct voice that doesn't ring through on this. So does anyone know the missing Eastern release on 45-607 ...? Could this be the test pressing for that missing number ... ?

As the Bell acetate credits Inez Foxx and says it's "Sue Records" maybe the "EA" in the runout mark signifies it to be for Eastern Records ... ? Just looked on Discogs at Eastern and for example "Eddie and Ernie - Outcast" carries the runout marks 65 EA 245/246 , that 45 could well be a 65 ... ?

Well spotted , guess which dumbass was peering at the blank side ... 45 EA 228-2 ... ?

Strange one , can't fathom out why there's no hint of anything stamp or matrix-wise in the runout ( have had a play in Gimp to look through the blackness ) and why would there be a drill hole in it ... ? A 'test pressing' is just that , a pressing to test the quality of the stamper is OK before embarking on a long press run , therefore the matrix details would be present , and why would there be a drill hole in a test pressing ... ? Took a bit of jump from $2000 to over $3000 in the time I've typed this , glad I downloaded the soundfile before it disappears though , damn fine tune ...

Another super Saturday with the "45s" team and guests , if you're after something a little less 'run-of-the-mill' you're in the right place ...
