Yeah, http://northernsoulrecords.com/item/JB_Willingham_-_Don't_Wanna_Be_Hurt_No_More/NSR1418

Sadly no date. As it never got a release maybe it was touted around for a while?

I can only find a 7" Acetate for the J.B. Willingham it is on Associated - It's strange they would also cut Don't wanna be hurt no more a 10" with a different B side but maybe it was a test cut or a cost saving thing?

Thank you Simon, it seems the known acetates on Associated were 7" also. This 10" is certainly old (no scent left on the acetate) label looks right, perhaps the Willingham side was a test cut or saving materials ? Either way thank you for shedding some light it's much appreciated.

Thank you I know knowledge doesn't come easy or cheap! I Can't see much on J B Williams? Do you know a label? was it a Hill & Range prod? I'd love to learn more on this it's baffled be for a while

Yeah the flip is certainly strongest but it doesn't sound like the same outfit??

I've had this 10" Associated Acetate for a good few years and never got to the bottom of it. It's double sided - one side is titled Ooh Bop Sha Bam credited to Hill & Range the flip is blank and musically better, I'm convinced I've heard it before but can't place it - I've tried to film both sides in the hope someone can shed a little light - Apologies for the camera work I'm guessing the Bafta won't be in the post mojo_video.MP4

That's a differnt angle cheers Alan

Many thanks Alan, it's been driving me nuts

There's a strong chance this is an obvious one but I can't place it - Any ideas? Not much to go from it's a 10" Frankford Wayne two hole single sided acetate - Greg Vaughn (Engineer) then F.A.O: T.M (Tom Moulton?) MOTIV_Video_20250218111299.mp4

Chris King used to play a carver of the Willie Harvey version. He must have dubbed it from tape, it doesn't sound like it was taken from any pressing - I've got it on eBay now: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196119246446

Yes, I passed this one over to John who had some genuine insights into the initial Columbia QC on this run.

The two plant idea is interesting, this would however mean two sets of stampers were made up. (One with etched and one with stamped matrix) This would have come with a cost at the time. Perhaps, if there were reason enough, that happened? As no one is coming forward with a demo or stock copy with a stamped matrix, it's at best an anomaly or something else entirely?

Looks raised Vinyl True or sloppy setting?

I'd guess an attempt at labels would be easier than having a stamped mother made up? Perhaps there was a planned re and this was a tester? It's been done a few times but I'm not sure if they are all etched or if any have stamped matrix?

Absolutely agree. I'm none the wiser on what this copy is with a stamped matrix ? later pressing?

Unless the Test Press was x2 single sided I have no idea. The fact the originals have etched Matrix and this is stamped bungs further confusion at this one.

So the original is etched not stamped?

Not that I can See The matrix is correct for the Okeh B side I still love you. What should be the A side is blank / unrecorded.

This is a one sided disk (Tatty) turned up a a collection the other week. The play slide is The seven souls - I still Love you. I thought it was a carver but the play side has the correct stamped Matrix ? Anyone come across this or knows the story?

This turned up with a load of 7"s the other day. It's a little strange the etched Matrix details are It Really Hurts Me Girl = RC 2857-1-1-1 D PR // The Story Of Our Love = RC 2858-1-1-1 PR D I know he did the remix but this one appears to be the Red Coach (No sterling) It might just be a cover up? - Any thoughts?
