I always had it down as one from your stable, Kitch...as 'Carl Hall', as pointed out earlier I used to play it a fair bit at the Capitol Soul Club as well Have seen stock copies and demos, and there is a factory bag for that period ARV too...sold a copy for £600 last year

I've only ever had/seen grey/white label copies...are there any blue one or proper label stated demos as well? Shame her vocal is lost in the mix.

Also gained a release on Japanese Deram complete with picture sleeve...rare!

Every NS collector must have at least one Mirwood disc in their collection, surely!?! I bet most of us have collected the label to some degree as well!?! Here's a couple of WDs...and dare I sneak the Mira number in whilst I'm here!?!

Agree...I prefer the instrumental found only on the black label release...stormer!

I used to think that until the guy who used to cut my acetates said otherwise. He reckoned the second hole denotes that the disc is not 100% perfect in some way (not 100% flat, bumps in the actete etc) and that it shouldn't be used as a master, but only as a sample to play. Every acetate machine I've seen in operation had a suction cup to hold the disc in place as it was cutting, rather than having a second spindle. Not saying either if us is wrong or right...anyone else want to express an opinion? Great track, by the way...very CJ.

...and if you don't like her vocal...or indeed Al's, try this for size: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLNW-Rfryq8 C'mon, sing-a-long now!

I used to sell Malaco product when I was at Charly, where they had a distribution deal during the 80's and early 90's. I say sell, but the truth was outside of London they hardly sold into the shops at all, let alone sell off the shelves. Sometimes we'd only bring in x100 copies of a LP title...UK based stores just weren't interested even on CD. Shame, some cracking stuff hidden on some LPs.

Just for Tonys reference, thought you'd be pleased to know that stock of the Fame 7" EP made it to Tokyo for Record Store Day!! Still copies on the shelf...I'll wait for them to go into the sale!

Wow! Not had this one before...The Capitols over looked Detroit dancer, 'I Got To Handle it' on a French Atco 45 (not EP)...with an art cover! Sound reproduction is loud and crisp...nice! I have the book of French EP releases/covers, but not seen a listing for the 45's...had the Loretta Williams', 'Baby Cakes' and Ben E.King 'I Can't Break The News...', so what else NS-wise made it to a one- track- per-side 7" 45 over in France? Merci bien!

Above is the styrene copy...here is the vinyl demo:

Nice double-sider...raw!

Have spares of these two: Japanese copy of, 'I Love Music' West Coast WD of the Latin-esque, 'Whip It On Me Baby' Love this group!

Neat little dancer...neat little demo copy

One on AnoraksCorner.com...M-...£75. Of use?

A few more:

What a great track...been stuck to my deck this last 24 hours! I'd forgotten totally about it until I was lucky enough to find a demo yesterday. Recommended Northern dance track for sure...they don't all have to break the bank balance!

Here are some mighty fine demos up for grabs...all in super-clean condition: Kelly St.Clair - Hear That Beat - AMM WD E+ £75 ON HOLD Old-school Northern mover...love it! Ben E.King - I Can't Break the News - Atco WD M- £75 Rarer demo East Coast vinyl copy...super-clean copy! Winfield Parker - Sweet Little Girl - Atco WD E+ £30 Fantastic Northern...underplayed...why!?! Gene Chandler & Barbara Acklin - Will I Find Love - Brunswick D M- £25 Stunning duet from Chicago's finest...superb Northern dancer! Billy Preston - Can't She Tell - Capitol WD E+ £75 Rare and doesn't show up much...gritty recommended Northern! Maurice Long - I Don't Love You Anymore - Cyclone WD M- £25 Silky-smooth Cross-over winner! Dan Brantley - I Can't Take It No More - Sims WD E+ £25 Rare demo copy...great Northern dancer with killer Deep Soul flip! PM to reserve. P&P £5 per parcel Payment via £UK cheque or bank transfer...no Paypal.

Not sure if I'm mis-reading the wording, but both the Little Iva on Miracle and Majestics on VIP exist on vinyl...so not unissued.

I wouldn't say it was 'ever so slightly' different...it is a lot different to the Strata take! Interesting and very rare yes, but soundwise it is firmly in the Garage camp, rather than Northern.

I'm also partial to a couple of his ballads with a beat...'The Sinner' and 'The Willow', the latter of which I have on a Japanese MGM 7"...and yes Roy actually sings it in Japanese!

Also came out on an original Jamaican RCA 7"...rare!

Classic.
