Here's a bunch from this classic logo...love the Paul Vann track
-
Am aware of the bootleg WD look-a-likes...didn't realise there were also orange stock look-a-likes? The original WDs also have sub-standard quality print, but the vinyl is stamped. I'm also rather partial to their other track on Early Bird, 'Maybe They're Right'...not obvious NS, but a powerhouse, tumbling Soulful delivery that will appeal to others I'm certain (WDs and orange stockers).
-
This had spins during the 8Ts and the price went up quite sharpish. The flipside is awesome, called, 'Ha Ha'...although I prefer the mix on their UA LP.
-
The original version by Roy Smith on Delphi / Liberty is miles better to my ears...far more NSoul as well
-
Great thumping New Orleans R'n'B...what's teh current going rate, please?
-
5956 miles (9585 km)...Tokyo to London for last year's Va-Va-Voom, NYE nighter (+ to see family and friends as well ). Will be doing it again this year too!
-
Which is the definitive 1st press? The ones with the separate 'block-lettering' of HME, or the ones where the HME letters are 'merged and arched'? Rough valuations for each also appreciated. TIA
-
I think it's a different take rather than mix? Agree, a total monster...the drumming and bass are flippin' fantastic and dancefloor friendly!
-
I remember paying £8 for my first copy and being disappointed when I played it on my home Hi-Fi, as the drums are too punchy The previously unissued version on the Sony CD compilations a few years ago is MUCH smoother and more Northern imo...check it out
-
Slight (!) tangent, but whilst out digging today in deepest darkest Tokyo, I came across a 7" sleeve with some interesting notes scribbled on it...it had several months noted with DJ names next to them: Mick, Carl Fortnum, Arthur and Sam! Made me smile...as did the bunch of discs I found a bit later on
-
Had x3 45's released on Japanese Verve...in pic covers...rare...very nice! My fave track by the man is easily the rompin', 'You're Looking Good' on Utopia.
-
Fabulous Deep Soul flipside, by the way.
-
This one never went massive enough to now be regarded as an Oldie/Classic (due to it being an easy find?). Even more surprising considering it saw a UK release as well. Pure uptempo NSoul that doesn't break the bank balance.
-
A worthy project and a sumptuous piece of packaging...but why did the guy in the YouTube clip insist on throwing the discs down to give it some kinda 'weight = quality' approach!? Did anyone else cringe when he cut through the packaging...no protection over the cover, so the blade could've gone and cut the sleeve there and then...ouch!
-
Please! Which part of Asia?
-
A tune I can happily have on repeat at least x20 times in a row...love it!
-
I struggled to sell some spare copies at a mere £15, even though it is a great tune and books higher. I've had both East and West Coast pressed WDs with slightly different design logos. In my experience the red stock copy is rarer.
-
I have a mint- spare copy for £45 >>> LOOK HERE <<<
-
I also have a spare mint- copy, if anyone else wants one
-
Now go give their version of 'Putty In My Hands' a listen...another to shake ya thang to...and to possibly get Nige to go and make the coffee/tea as well!?!
-
For your entertainment, here are a few pics of some RARE Japanese presses:
-
Fabulous scans people Am now off to practise my Matador steps!
-
A great piece on her over on Spectropop: >>> PRESS HERE <<< Here's the Japanese copy.
-
I have the blue, green, red and yellow covered numbers...what is on the cover of #5? Am interested in the badge and can offer it a happy home to be alongside all of its brothers and sisters (PM me with your price)
-
Copies used to be readily available during the mid-8Ts...burgundy stockers and WDs. Probably still squirrelled away in collections from that period when that sound style was king!
