'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 ...

@Andy Rix Hi Andy , Link below to Gilly's set on my Mixcloud page from the "45s On-liner" from 12th September ... https://www.mixcloud.com/Woodbutcher/the-45s-on-liner-12th-september-2020-set-6-gilly/

One on JM's ending next Wednesday if you're feeling extra flush ...

A fabulous day spent in the company of some of the finest DJs europe has to offer , enjoy ...

Not as far as I'm aware on Verve , but I know nowt ...

@Jem BritttinYou've posted an image of an Yvonne Baker Cameo-Parkway boot by mistake ...

And here's Mattie's set ( tech issues meant it went missing for a while )

The handwriting shows more similarities to that on this disc of their first ever recording ... Image from the Chapter Five FB page ...

He's on FB so you could ask him direct , nothing showing on his profile regarding the disc , you'd think he'd be shouting it from the rooftops were he actually the seller ... ?

A quick examination shows distinct and obvious differences between the hands that wrote the titles on the discs , most notably in the formation of the letters "N" and "Y" . Any decent graphologist would have it thrown out of court ...

Time for another evening in the company of "The 45's" ... Will add the set links as soon as they're up on my Mixcloud page , first set to be getting on with ...

Been looking forward to tonight all year , in the vain selfish hope that things might have calmed enough to have allowed the anniversary to take place , instead I shall just have to raise a glass of virtual bubbly to Ady and the crew and start counting down the days until the next one ... 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

Another great night in the company of the "45s" chaps.

Should have "The 45s" sets up tomorrow too ...
