Paul Capon

After having both versions side by side here is what I posted on Discogs Be careful - there are two versions of this LP. They look totally identical - label and sleeve, track listing etc. but one copy has a slow version of the Sadie Sadie track and one has a fast version. The fast version is the one that is getting played. I've had both - here is how to tell Run out groove numbers: 'S-9014A' = slow version 'S-9014A(-2)' = fast version.

Thanks - I found it on Discogs. mystery solved

Blank

I found a White label single sided 7” single of:- Collins & Collins - ‘Back by popular demand’ I can’t find any sign of it being released. It sounds a bit Motorcity/ Ian Levine production. Does anyone know the origins of this track and this dubious looking 45?

A registered delivery parcel I posted to Japan on March 28th arrived today!!!! That’s 76 days!!

Thanks - I just saw it below- doh

ignore - found it Hi Could anyone tell me what Roy Roberts - I know what to so to satisfy you - TINA sold for please

I’ve listened to both Cressa and Martha and yes deffo the same vocal. The Cressa is clearly a badly edited copy of Martha with a clear chop at about 1:20 in removing the 30 second instrumental break. Martha is almost 3 mins, ‘Cressa’ is about 30 sec shorter

I always send 12” or LPs with two stiffeners with the record taped into the stiffeners. For cheaper items I use the self sealing envelope mailers and for more expensive items I use the full cruciform - both from Sounds Wholesale (I cut my own stiffeners tho’ from boxes and pallet trays found in Costco) VERY expensive 7s go in full 7” cruci with stiffeners INSIDE a 12” cruci with stiffeners. Pretty much bullet proof unless it gets run over like the infamous Don Gardner - Cheatin’ Kind that Mr Manship had the mis-fortune to post I have NEVER had an item get broken in the post (touch wood).

That’s the other version I was thinking of! I couldn’t for the life of me remember who it was by. On Discogs Archie Durham isn’t listed as a member of the group but I’ve sent Barbara Durham the YouTube link anyway. Thanks

I agree - I didn’t know The Deceptions version so I Tubed it - their version lacks depth - B&B is the better. PS I got a reply No, he was with Black & Blue for sure. My understanding is he left the group, and they replaced the vocal track. His name is Archie Durham. Any more info or a copy of that elusive alternative take of B&B anyone? I wonder if there is an acetate somewhere in the world?

In the 90’s I got the test pressings from Duke Hall via a contact in the USA.

Thanks - I’ve mailed her the link. I’ll post her response Thanks - I’ve mailed her the link. I’ll post her response

Anyone I’ve been contacted by a Barbara Durham in the USA who’s husband sang on a version of Black & Blue - ‘ Of all the hearts to break’ on GAME. She was hoping that my sales copy of the test pressing was the version he was on but after I sent her a copy it turns out it wasn’t him. I see there are a couple of label variations and my test press out there which I believe are all the same version. Does anyone know of an alternative take? I would dearly love to get a copy to him if there is. This is the known version My test press (£27 if anyone wants it) I also sent her a copy of the Mercury 45 what I got/ Miss Anne but it sounds like the same singer anyway. Please let me know.
