that is very spooky. i've been researching this, and nearly have it tied up for a post soon.

wow indeed. thanks for that.

thanks for that. so i guess if you want 10 acetates you cut 10 acetates individually.

Here's a thing also... are Acetates run off all at once? Or could you produce Acetates ( presumably from stampers, mothers, blah, blah blah) at any time after the initial 'run'. So in effect could you run a 60's Acetate ( from the stampers, etc) in 1990 for more Acetates?

talking 60's & 70's here: what's the thinking about just how many acetates would be made per individual recording. is it hit-and-miss i.e. make 5 for quality purposes, or is it make 20 and send them out to radio stations see what happens? does anyone know ( have a count of) the most acetates per individual recording?

Gary (one of the Walker brothers...) also did a version. Gene Thompson & The Counts did have a 1966 spot at The Satellite Club, at South Gallatin St, (Jackson, Miss) owned primarily by James W. Norton. I think it was non-alcholic club and certainly had some run-in on licensing at some point. It's predicatable that John Vicent (Ace) also from Jackson, Miss, had some sort of relationship with Gene Thompson. John more-or-less had the 8th Floor of his Vincent building (previously Millsaps) dedicated to his enterprises...ACE pubbery, Record Pak, Vin Records, Hazel pubbery( his wife), and so on.

Looking for this ( other than those on Discogs) presently. If someone has one to shift VG will do ( i'm not a DJ).

I’ve got some stuff from when I was researching John Vincent of ACE…but not much on Gene’s identity etc. I remember a 1966 “gig ad” . I’ll dig it out

most people i've spoken to about film The Salt Path said that the book(s) were much better. I've not read the book(s), but did see the film recently and was pretty bored. The film leaves a lot 'unsaid'. For instance (and this doesn't give the plot away, because there is no real plot) why did the male lead lose his farm? what was the investment that went wrong? who was the lady (and her house/farm) where they spent months?, etc. I think it's a BBC film or asscoiated with them, so i wished i'd waited until it comes via TV, rather than make special trip to the cinema. https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0zC7MqDLKTqowYPTiLclIVShOzClRKEgsyQAAkq0J3g&q=the+salt+path&rlz=1C1CHBF_enGB1120GB1120&oq=the+salt+path&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqDQgCEC4Y1AIYsQMYgAQyBwgAEAAYjwIyDQgBEC4Y1AIYsQMYgAQyDQgCEC4Y1AIYsQMYgAQyBwgDEAAYgAQyBwgEEAAYgAQyBwgFEAAYgAQyBwgGEAAYgAQyBwgHEAAYgAQyBwgIEAAYgAQyBwgJEAAYgATSAQg4ODI5ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I assumed we had, but I don't think we ever answered The OP's question from June 2009...who were Quickest Way Out. Willard Hines, Musical Director & Pianist. Bill King Bunni Bailey Patty Webb Howard Smith ( replaced by Craig Jones , think 1976) Willard Hines was a 1965 grad from Kentucky State Uni and moved to Detroit. He was vocal coach for The Jones Girls, Enchantments and Dramatics between 1968-1971. In the PIC, Willard is starting at the left.

your decision and anyone else making such a decision will have to reflect on what their collection might be worth, and then factor in their own financial circumstances. if you had a £30k, £50K, £100k, upward collection then that would be a slightly different thought process than say if a collection was worth £15K -£20K, and then you would need to factor in what that money means to you.

can we see it? assume you know the 'other one' Professor and the Efficiency Experts on Stanson

Our fear of losing far, far outweighs our ability to win. Or at the very least “ give it a good go”.

having watched England under Tuchel recently, and yesterday the U21's against Germany, i have to say how dreary it was. As has been said many times by others, we have a fantastic and exciting Premier league and below this level too, and yet our National teams are somewhat woeful at times, and it's like watching 'walking football'. Yes i get that non-Englanders play in teams in the Premier League, and that these make a difference, and yes our England team ( presently) might not be a full strength, but playing the way we are at the moment doesn't bode well for the World Cup.

Sidra's Theme

some Monarch may have been pressed at AFM Engineering, nickel plating , etc. In 1965 the Cosnat Corp bought AFM Engineering ( & Record Labels Inc). AFM may well have been a subsid/division of Monarch. @Sebastian @Robbk I'm not sure where your ref to Alco Steel fits in? But, I don't think ALL the vinyl records that were pressed by AlCo (Allied Steel)

These '1041 N. Las Palmas Allied Co's' passed through several iterations of ownership but they kept coming back to Daken K. Broadhead ( he bought them back in 1962 from Tops Records/Precision Radiation Instruments). The pressing plant was at 57th St. He also acquired the Bellville N.J. plant along with it.

it seems silly now, but i remember as 17 yr old when me & mates first heard Family Affair debating what exactly was being said at the line 'Newlywed a year ago, but you're still checking each other out'. Thanks for the memories, great music. RIP

Hi Lori, it's great you came our way...here's a few 'gig ad's of your Dad. Guess you probably get better access to these, but thought i'd post anyway. one is from 1965 the other 1968.

Sou Loft

i think HORACE SILVER ( DISCOGS: American jazz pianist, composer and bandleader, born September 2, 1928, in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA; died June 18, 2014 (age 85), in New Rochelle, New York, USA.) may have been ( one of the one's) credited with the term Soul Music.1960. At least 'his style was called Soul Music'.

I'm pretty sure ( some scrappy notes i have) that when Bob was talking to James Westbrook (5 wagers, deltas) he mentioned James taking lead on the Vows, 'when a boy loves a girl/east and west i go' and he said it was the 1st record on Red Balloon and was very obscure.

Seeing Russ Gilbert’s “sweeter than sweet things” in his set reminded me of long conversations with Tim ( TLS Capital ) RIP, about the version variations (Loma v Symbol) and me MP3 ing him. I miss him

COCHISE, not for me
