Tempo's about 2:30 ...

To save anybody else getting a crick in the neck ...

You could always PM John here on SS ... https://www.soul-source.co.uk/profile/40380-john-manship/

All-niter ... 100 Club naturally , especially the night that Colin Law and Kitch were guesting. Movie ... "Hidden Figures". Book ... Mr Manship's #7. TV ... "Detectorists"

So where is/was the venue ... ? Just so we who do care about avoiding boot-playing events can make a note for future reference ...

Just do your own thing , no need to join the sheep that play the 'same old' , resist the temptation to play 'monsters' if you don't own them ...

Judging by this thread you're just going to pick one tune and play it over and over and over and over again ...

Still haven't got an I.D. from the thumbprints yet though ...

4914 and 4915 on both ...

Anyone who watches "Strictly" and "First Date" gets exactly what they deserve ...

It's the same one , relisted after the first time round it was bid up to silly numbers to make a point to the seller ...

Might as well edit the OP and ditch the "A-Z" part then and just have it as post your "favourite female" track thread then ... Too messy for me now so I'll bow out and refrain from further participation.

Surely just common sense required not some 'ruling' by the thread starter ...

Pity folk can't get to grasp with the generally accepted form of "Alphabetical" , spoiling what could have been a great thread ... Little wonder so many seem to have such problems finding information online ...

4 years.

Earlier today on FB Karl ...

Comedy buyer on this one more like , I guess folk don't bother reading descriptions anymore ...

John now believes it to be the real thing , details to follow ....

The QC demo and this TP with the RCA/Nashville matrix , other TP's from ARP .

All we need now is a fingerprint expert on the two thumbprints ...

From Andy Rix's article here on Soul Source " Despite the fact that the ‘Eddie Foster’ bootleg had sold thousands of copies, UK Tamla Motown decided to issue the record. The original tapes for both sides of Soul 35019 were requested to be sent to London from America. However, when the tapes were received, they were stereo masters and not the original mono masters. UK Tamla Motown label manager, Gordon Frewin, instantly spotted the technical differences and corrected them at Abbey Road Studios, with the help of his engineer Chris Blair, and the benefit of a copy of the ‘Eddie Foster’ 45 taken to the studio by Motown collector John Lester. TMG 1170 was thus taken from stereo masters but folded into mono for its eventual release on 9th November 1979. "

Same as this TP.

But if the demos were ARP presses why the RCA matrix ? Confused now ...

Thanks Pete ...
