This is the one Rick played while I was still at Junior School

Now Rick has brought this up, anyone who has a copy will be hunting it out and playing the B side. Most like me, will be disappointed, but of course there may be other copies out there and maybe 50 will turn up because of this thread😀

Ed, I have a soul pack copy and it has the rubbish B side as "most" do. As mentioned before Manship sold a copy to Sam with the "Thank The Lord" tune (Instrumental) on the B side (pressing error still showing City Skies) and I don't know of any more copies

Age mate Age

Yellow or pink I thought ? get your scan on here m8

I believe (told along time ago) the record was also pressed up incorrectly with the track you are chatting about sometimes appearing but not always. It's pot luck if you get the correct issue,. I have one that doesn't play the version everyone wants. I have never come across the rare one. It was played out by Sam (got his copy off Manship) William Edward Durham, Mark Kevin Davis & Leamon Tunstle Cox They Penned "Don't Push My Love Cup" but only Bill was credited ?

Was it this one

I think the address is the distribution, which caused the confusion Now I know where I saw the label years ago

Thought would add to see if we can shed some more light on all these people Is Frank the same Frank ? I believe That Duplex Black Record Distribution was Jimmy Liggins ?

This is getting more confusing and I will dig some more Haunted, w & m Willie E. Henderson, Jr. & Lowrell Simon. 2 1. © Eight Nine Music & Cetra Music Corporation; 3Aug73; EU423635.

Goldmine put it out as 1968 on CD and it is suggested that Number one is 1973 (Azie and her husband put things out from time to time.

There's some fantastic stuff here https://www.facebook.com/groups/2730553478/

This "might" still be available

I apologise if this has been covered before Found this nice poster from Kansas and I thought I should share the story for all that don't know (I didn't)

I know you guys will like this, a really really cool photo, although if I was doing a caption thing James Gadson looks like he's is chewing/sucking a mint ?

Spot the credit ? anyone ever get a copy ? or was it never released as such ?

That's why Castle did it wrong (they probs did same as you 😀 or vice versa)........ BMI sometimes (like me) is way out wrong

I found this on the re-issue stuff Chicago soul originally performed by Gloria J. Jennings in 1977. Gloria was signed to Stage Productions as a gospel singer with pure and raw talent she had developed in the choir of her father's Southern Baptist Church. She was 16 years old at the time. To tutor her for R&B vocals, Willie C. Nance of Stage Productions spent 3 months taking the artist back and forth for vocal training 25 miles each way, 3 days per week. At the time, Mr. Nance had made plans to work with singer and songwriter Theresa Eagins to record “Know What You Want”. However, two days before the recording was set to begin, Ms. Eagins refused to move forward with the recording as she chose to take her religious faith more seriously and forgo the singing of secular music. Hence, Stage Productions turned to Gloria Jay to perform a song that would go on to move people thousands of miles away, many years later. https://www.melodiesinternational.com/releases/gloria-jay-know-what-you-want-i-m-gonna-make-it-7-inch

Aha, he was a barber William “Nick” Allen, Sr. and I was correct (for once) https://www.bullcitysoul.org/nick-allen.html

The original usage of ton referring to £100 appears to be from Cockney Rhyming Slang, a word construction which relied both on phonetic but also on semantic links between words “in which case the person coining the slang term sees a semantic link, sometimes jocular, between the Cockney expression and its referent”. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/417176/how-did-a-ton-come-to-mean-one-hundred-of-something

It always has been the case that us English seem to expect the rest of the world to understand our ways !!!! £100 is what was meant

Nice one and so perhaps someone can shout out about Nick, I believe his son (Junior) was in The Modulations

It could be, however a lot of sellers can't ship "anywhere", as they have not updated their Automatic Shipping Policy which had to be done in October 2020

The VAT is completely different to Import taxes and an extra tax (it's a double whammy) and the Post Office charge is to collect the import tax duties. Auctions/houses charge the Seller and the Buyer but these new taxes are all the buyer, it seems Oh and one more thing, Supermarket bosses are asking for an additional 1% tax on on line market places These companies and Governments are like my kids in lockdown......Greedy (not swearing) things This could happen Purchase £100 +VAT £20 (lets' assume free shipping for a laugh) Plus Import Taxes (differ) and £8 Post Office (Fee) Expensive me thinks

Found this in my collection
