He actually didn't do much session work for Van McCoy, it was McCoy himself.

The preef of the pidding is in the aeting....................go back in a years time and offer them a tenner............

You ! Because you're so sexy..................

I had one of these and like a di**head sold it.

A mate of mine wants one too, any offers welcome.

Anyone got one for sale or know where's one being offered ? Any suggestions welcome.

Nice Dutch one

Not sure that's a Belgian issue, it doesn't have the Belgian SABAM box but the European BIEM. Country of manufacture also not shown. Tough to say, as I said Belgium is a small country and didn't have much of a youth culture in the 70s, outside of the Popcorn scene so no real demand. Belgian for sure.

Not sure, never seen one, Frankie & Johnny did on Belgian Decca

There are 2 releases you can find, 1 x 12" and 1 x 7", both on the B side of "World rated X" are they the 1965-ish recordings or later ones ?

Fudge me

Kel, not many (legitimate) records got made in Belgium. Most were made in the surrounding countries. I do have some, mainly Motown, the best being this one.

The TSU Tornadoes is actually French, you can see that from the BIEM licence stamp. Belgian singles have the same sort of stamp but it reads SABAM. The Philps one doesn't look like a Belgian, maybe Dutch, the scan is not clear enough.

Didn't realise this was Canadian, been in me box a while

For those old 'uns like me who can't stand on their heads for long

Wow !! a gaggle of info, so it's 1967 then ? After my original posting I changed my mind and thought it would be nearer that '67 date, many thanks, Chris. I picked up one of those 12" for a fiver including shipping.

Anybody know when "Lonely lover" was recorded ? Sounds late 60s, 69 or sumfink.

Would an album do ?

Thanks everyone, now shorted/salted...................

Condition not that important should play well though, VG++/EX or better. Many thanks.

Always so sad when a NS singer departs, by all accounts he was a smashing bloke and so great he got some recognition in the UK. Love is serious business.

Thanks everybody, starting to end now, your last chance...........
