Butch Plays - Titles Wanted Please
New Wanderers-aint gonna do you no harm-Ready. Discovered by myself and Tim Ashibende in 1981 in a shop in Pennsylvania. It went into my collection and ultimately later in my playbox. Some years later Tim, on a US trip found an acetate of the record. As I recall it was slightly different than the issue, but sound-wise an inferior cut.

Butch Plays - Titles Wanted Please
I got the Vikki Anders on an acetate in LA in about 1990. I wasn't sure if it got a release until years later when it turned up on Cream & Co.

Butch Plays - Titles Wanted Please
Correct, I got it off Soul Bowl in 1979. It was a total unknown at the time and I didnt bother to cover it up. The odd copy popped up in the 80s, but I dont remember Dave thorley or Jim wensiora playing it.

Butch Plays - Titles Wanted Please
Thanks for all the contributions and suggestions. Not all are correct from my own perspective, but that's understandable considering that I have dj'd at the best upfront venues for the last 40 years and I dont expect people to keep a diary of my discoveries. Ill try and get a comprehensive list together to iron out some of the inconsistencies. Correct Simon. I have an acetate of the George Pepp, which is not different from the issue.

100 Club
On the 8th June, 100 club all-nighter, there will be djing two extra-ordinary Soulmen. Both emanating from that disadvantaged backwater of Stoke-on-Trent, that seems to have produced more prominent individuals on the rare soul scene than anywhere else. Johnny Beggs, who in his late teens was djing at the Torch all-nighters. A few years later, was a regular at the Blackpool Mecca and to some extent a part of the inner circle around the main djs of Ian Levine and Colin Curtis. Later on, part of the furniture at the Stafford and 100 club all-nighters. Obviously, a person who feels more at home at upfront venues and someone who doesn't shy away from pushing a new or underplayed sound. Although John has been on the scene forever, he still has a youthful enthusiasm for the music and swears that's the secret of his Peter Pan looks. Tim Ashibende, one of the fittest looking guys on the scene, which belies the amount of all-nighters that he's attended since the mid 70s. Tim has had more rare records through his hands than most people on the scene and has discovered more significant vinyl than you can shake a stick at. During the Wigan era, Tim managed to un-cover more of Richard Searling's superb playlist than anyone else in that hallowed building. He was also one of the first people to secure rare vinyl, by tracking down and interviewing U.S. artists, producers, arrangers and other related persons (pre-internet). From this visionary and creative activity, Tim managed to generate an unprecedented bank of knowledge about our beloved music, now copied by many others. On that particular night, from both guests, expect a well thought out and considered spot of delightful tunes.

Irma And The Fascinations
The murky side of the Northern scene raises its head again. I was at that Keele all-nighter too, with my mate Tim. Next to us there was a record dealer selling home-made emi discs for £400 each. They were dressed up to look like authentic acetates, but having had many acetate's pass through our hands we couldn't be fooled. He admitted to selling the fakes and seemed to think it was ok. We let him know that we didnt approve and remember Tim telling him that it was 'very naughty' Our scolding seemed to have the desired affect and he moved them from his stall. Obviously, from a couple of stories on here, some people were duped into buying some of this unethical vinyl. There are many other stories about well known people on the scene making bespoke emi discs and doing their best to pass them off as original acetates. During the 90s a well known dj made a series of dubs, spending a lot of time and effort to make them look authentic and then duly sold them to unsuspecting buyers, including some top djs. This unethical practice was common knowledge in the scenes record bars (pre internet) so a lot of people knew that it was going on.

Rarest Stock Copy
This subject, the rarest stock copy, should have been an engaging read, but the thread is all over the place. Its a massive thread, but containing many ill thought out contributions, due to confusing inputs about dj copies, non-US releases, test pressings, etc. Not to mention a whole raft of people putting forward not so rare issues. Also, plenty of hearsay contributions about rare stock copies, but scant evidence to back it up. All in all, not more than twenty genuinely rare stock copies mentioned, which is a very small number for such a big appraisal.

John Vincent Top 15 1983
Yes, the LJH was played in the 70s, so it can't be that. Also the Walter and Sisters, Bobby James & Herb Johnson were already well known from the 70s.
