  1. Another happy outcome , & free postage too , get in there
  2. 1 copy on discogs , Tobacco Road Records label £3 .75 only plus postage unfortunately from the States . I think it's a promo copy too
  3. Quite a European influence for a beer brewed in Northampton, Carlsberg / Marston's I believe.
  4. I think under the circumstances, an underground scene which it very much was upto 76 , if a DJ played a record that had a dancefloor appeal you had a choice , dance or wait for the next one . We didn't have the tools or knowledge at the time to consider Soul or not , it was more about the dancefloor, lots of blue eyed soul too many to list here now Bobby Goldboro for one , & Paul Anka , I Can't Help Loving You , albeit covered up , but yes it was a drug fuelled scene , full of kids , lead by older mentors , " this was played at the Torch , Wheel , Catacombs, VaVa's , the Mecca etc but every week we travelled to where ever ,to packed out All nighters more for the buzz than the odd shite record . And the gear wasn't soooooo much better back in the day , unless you had a good supplier, lots of dodgy dealers around at the time , best to source your own .
  5. https://soulbot.uk/wayne-gibson.htm/ Also numerous memories on YouTube claim it to be earlier , I heard it played at the Casino to , to a packed dancefloor was very popular , also featured on Crackerjack ,check out the link .
  6. That's exactly why it's now being debated , when it was first spun probably the Torch or Twisted Wheel , it was probably a UK based label scene , they would not have had the wealth of US labeled sounds , that followed. At the time it was also a scene in infantsy, & records where played for a week or two then dropped, by the time of the Casino most of these type of sounds where oldies , & suddenly got a second lease of life & reissued for one reason or another. Fortunately we're still going strong , & as was said by a prominent promoter / DJ , " We've Separated The Wheat From The Chaff" & so the scene goes on , so we don't have to play this kind of tune anymore , unless requested, still has plenty of likes from people who where there at the time on YouTube , personally would like to hear an instrumental of it
  7. Very very sad news , although I haven't seen him for years I was always aware through the media , just how much he was loved & appreciated on the scene , RIP Ted condolences to family & friends.
  8. Hi Xss, Have pmd
  9. B- side , Up On Top Now , + Instrumental with a bit of Sax , then yes definitely a worthy release .
  10. Controversial ,,,, why ? When there is a finished , polished , totally without any doubt a version that is perfect , available already . Sorry Rob , I don't see the need .
  11. It was never in doubt the sellers status , it was only the fact that buyers are buying Emidiscs wether djs or not that is why I mentioned it . So to the sales of carvers and disguising them that's all .
  12. So do they still have their online sales shop of previously owned vinyl ?
  13. Just had a quick search for MD records , personally bought a few records from their sales "shop" over the last few years , and their excellent MD records label , but now it only seems selling from their own label via Bandcamp , when did that happen?
  14. Still a bootleg Upcycling an Acetate surely with a hand made paper label ?
