I missed that edition of "Songs Of Praise" !

Have PM'd you

Have PM'd you.

Yes, thanks, although what I meant was the concentration of specific DD records, as opposed to any classic Pye/Roulette/Calla etc.

Four of those eight titles are reissues of the old UK Pye Disco Demand series. I wonder if that is a coincidence.

The first of the videos listed is, as you say, just the wrong soundfile. The three word title, "(A) Little Togetherness" is the short version, However the "millionaire" full version did get pressed. I have one, and I only know of one other in the hands of DJ Honky in New York. It is a styrene press, two-word title "Little Togetherness", and it has an incorrect timing of 2:45. To add more confusion, the "Tempos" labelled copy is only a standard short take, even though the timing on the label is 3:15 Over the years, I've had three "Tempos", and all play short versions. I still live in hope that a long version exists with the Tempos 3:15 label, but as the Younghearts labelled "milionaire" press appears to be quite rare, I doubt it, Would love to be proved wrong though.

I remember hearing a wild story about a London taxi driver who owned a copy of Frank Wilson, I pesume this is the same person being referred to . . . ?

Alongside the aforementioned Moses Smith / Epitome, Simon Soussan sped up a fair few of his boots. Detroit Shakers (Rainbows), Frank Wilson (In). Others escape me but there were more I'm sure. If you listen to I.O.U., the B Side of Johnny Caswell, I'm sure that is sped up. I initially heard a as a youth on a Champion Boot, amd assumed that it was just Simon at it again, but realised it was exactly the same on the Decca release. That would mean right from the start someone decided to adjust the tempo at the production stage, and a consequence of tempo change is to change the pitch (and vice versa), ie. the faster the tempo, the higher the pitch.

If you paid through Paypal, does it not show an email address for the transaction (sometimes the transaction doesn't show it, but most of the time it does). If you have that, it may joj your memory. If you can remember what you bought, do a search through your browser history and see if a familiar link pops up. If not then try and repeat the search through Google, or the market places or forums you use regularly. Might help.

I didn't realise Tim had sold it, but yes, that is the same copy. Good to know where it is after 35 or so years. I think it is great, but maybe too fast and furious for folks in the eighties, as tastes were changing to a slower tempo.

I bought Sams copy of him about 1980 or maybe a touch later, and kept it for a good many years. At the time I understood it to be the only known copy (or at least that was the impression I got). When when I sold up in the late 1980s, it went though Domar and I understand ended up with Tim Brown. I only played it out a spots maybe a couple of times, never really cought on. Think it's still quite rare, but no idea how many copies.

So sad. Another great guy I hadn't seen in almost 10 years. RIP Tim.

Probably just a typo. I was equally surprised as late as the mid-nineties upon my own realisation that Darrell Banks Stateside demo was titled incorreactly, even though I'd had and seen copies for many years before.

I'd heard he was ill, but didn't realise it was this bad. That is very sad news.

Okay I see now it is far more sophisticated and complex than I understood (or ever hope to understand). As a layman, I suppose the point I was trying to make was that reading some of the AI responses on a subject we are all aware of, I can't help but feel it is just saying the same things we've heard before, but in a slightly different way. I see from your explanation that it makes sense to answer in a way that is useful to the reader, without giving an opinion. Cheers for that, both of you. PS I'm sure you're aware that ChatGPT now has a new version: GPT-4. I only saw it on the news feed last night.

Most of those answers are very familiar, so I assume the wording is directly from internet text sources. Simply typing the question into Google, or another search engine, would give similar results. I don't do it, but you can talk to Google and get audio results. Can you with this ChatGPT ? Either way, at least with a search engine you can sort through the crap and concentrate on the real info. With ChatGPT it would appear the sources are not available so you're left with no options to evaluate. I would have expected to see phrases like "According to abc.com" or "xyz.com says that . . . " . Can't see me ever using it.

I think CHLY it was covered up a Johnny Caswell, but only for a very short while, so not 100% on that.

To me it is a very modern press. Close inspection of the scan reveals the telltale "rings" that appear on a lot of modern day presses. (All the Northern boots like Salvadors / Sam Williams etc. are just a small example. I can only assume it is some new process that either printers or pressing plants use. It's more noticable just above the "HIDE" in the title.

There was a 12 inch three track that might have been 009. I think it was Greg Perry / Voices EH / and maybe Alfie Davison.
