Can someone tell me if this was ever played on the "Scene" please

Don't forget this one

WOW, do folks not have "google" any more https://www.expansionrecords.com/vault/about/

I don't think this came out on a US release You can pick it up easily on UK TMG 1078 Issue or Demo

You both referred to them as re-issues ? the word "bootleg" springs to mind in 2015

It's Saturday, let's all have a dance

I don't blame you and thanks for this thread and making me learn more knowledge ......again

John of course has to pay tax so you need to take that into account The standard rate of VAT in the UK is currently 20% and this is the rate charged on most purchases.

I think that is a Dutch release , am I right ?

I forgot it was on It is a 100% London recorded (Donnie married and moved to the UK in 1966), I forgot though it was on that flip.....thanks, even cheaper to get then

Oh dear now you have taken me back to school and when I was 14 at a Disco....this has always been my favourite

I don't think you should be confused, as the early 1970's saw the infection of the Northern Soul scene and lots of records were issued again to make sales and of course that was when the "Bootleg" scene took hold. You are spot on about it being recorded in London as Mervyn Conn was based in Soho, London and Produced many records including Chapter Five, Gene Latter, Kenny Bernard Etc.

Seems it never got an outing in the US even on Epic, I wonder why ? just made for the UK Soul scene ? It was re-issued in 1972

Someone managed to buy one for £12 on Discogs May 2018

I agree, however the problem is that Discogs and other sites who do average sales prices don't mention where in the world they were sold from and to and shipping is a cost as well to the value of a record purchase IMHO Example I sell single for £70 to Uk and shipping is £2.56 signed for and US is over £9.50 so price of purchase has shot up including shipping costs I would have thought that they could (with modern technology) give a true average price

Swiss Movement (my Wife says it ought to have been brown to match all the Swiss chocolates she loves ?????)

The Tips

I love Dade.....when I used to dance faster it was The Twans No I am old..... its Jimmy

I noticed that Monique is Monique Greene (that's as far as we know) It is now mentioned here (further down number 4 comment) https://soul-in-groove.eklablog.com/the-three-jades-a126536182

I wonder which naughty person will pay $0.79 cents for a download and we will all notice a bootleg appear (soon)

The "Best" is easy Bestway Products Inc. Defunct injection-molding record pressing plant which was located in Mountainside, New Jersey, USA. Founded in 1946 and active until the mid-1980s. The company pressed for labels such as Bell, Scepter, Yew, etc. Bestway's Founder, Al Massler, was responsible for pioneering the manufacturing practice of using styrene to press records (particularly 45's). Often marked with a "B", "BW", "BEST", or oblique "Bestway" stamped in run-out. "BW" may be found also in the label matrix.

Fred I cannot understand for the life of me what buyer would ever ever complain about noise in the run-out I get it with an LP as couch listeners will listen to each side without wanting noise in between tracks People listen to the music on singles surely and if they listen to the run-out or as a DJ don't start the record when the music starts or when it finishes then that to me is most "odd" these people should be buying CD's

Staggered is original Matrix / Runout (A machine stamped): SK4M--2682-1-A Matrix / Runout (A hand etched): AC-II-148301 Matrix / Runout (B machine stamped): SK4M--2687-1-A Matrix / Runout (B hand etched): AC-LX-155104 Straight copy is also original as appears to have same stampers both from November 1965 (me thinks)

Sorry that was the other release, the confusion I think is the name of the label, as "Detroit" has not been moved to Suffolk in England, as far as I aware
