Anoraks Corner

Even cooler...a Japanese WD:

Great stuff...thanks for the info...appreciate it. A long shot maybe, but do you have any idea how many copies were pressed of your three discs, and what was the inspiration behind the logo on Pee Vee?

LOVE IT! A track I never tire of too! Sounds great at a large venue echoing around...once played it at the Capitol Soul Club many moons ago. The group featured Fern Kinney (replaced Patsy McClune after '66), Rosemary Taylor and Dorothy Moore aka Dottie Cambridge.

For reference, though I can't find my scan, I used to have a WD of TOAL. My fave from Jay is 'My lonely girl' on IPG...superb drumming and muted brass!

UPDATE: New Sounds - sold Ripple Blast Singers - yes it is the correctly pressed copy featuring the cross-over versions of 'Sadie Sadie' and 'Rain on my parade'

Must admit it took me three attempts to upload it first time around, so I had to knock off lines/gaps/some titles/order details! I've now edited it and added some gaps...and it accepted the changes, so hopefully you can now read and buy! Bet if the list was on a record label, going around on a turntable at a nighter, we'd be able to read it no trouble at all!?!

Via Charly (as in the record label/distributor) for sure, as I played through the SS7 master tapes...took pics of some of the boxes they were in too...nice! It was then put on an acetate for Guy before sticking it then got included on a few Charly album releases. (A few years later we also pressed him up some acetates of various Johnny Powers supplied tracks outta Detroit.)

There is a superb danceable version on Jester, inna typical smooth Texas Soul style with it's brass and organ work. Thoroughly recommended...huge tune imo.

What a coincidence...it was also played at the collector's night in Tokyo last night too! I always remembered the label being light-blue, but it was red...at least I recalled the font-style correctly!

I agree...in vogue Funky/Northern sound...and not the easiest number on the label to find in decent condition, in my experience.

Would love to see a scan...anyone help...pageing Mr.Carp!

Totally agree with you Paul. Superb harmonies....amazing instruMENTAL break...in fact sooooo good that I only recently (after many years of owning/listening to it!) actually statred to listen/appreciate the lyrics! Oh! If only there were demo copies...sigh.

Spanish sleeve/label for reference...found a copy in Tokyo!

Tokyo calling... ARP - stamped Mastered by Frankford & Wayne - stamped 2031A - scratched flip... ARP - stamped 2031B - scratched F/W - scratched Do I win a prize?

Is there any other design for this release number? Has anyone got a stock/coloured copy?

I thought the Eric & Vikings was originally spun on a RCA labelled 10'' acetate? The 'Barbara Mercer' sounds as you suggest, a modern cut using a vintage label?

Good call...great track, and ironic that it sounds more 'Mirwood' than Bob & Earl's original version!

Steve Smith gave it a few spins in and around the Midlands during the late 80's/early 90's. I rate it anywhere between £50/£75. Yes, it is the Phillie label also known for Bill Horton, Delores Lynn etc. Love the gothic font used for her name on the label! Sounds @ 65-ish to me.
