Harry Crosby

yeh understand what you mean, speaking of williams & watson, old story this one when the LAMONT CRANSTON BAND was covered as WILLIAMS & WATSON, one of my mates from york told me who it was, he wasn`t a record collector, so i said to him how do you know that? he said it was on the radio the other night! evidently tommy vance`s rock show had been doing an american band special and it was on there, while they were playing it over here covered up

can`t get download to work mate, only one i can think of is holdin on by gary sole on knight records

Ive had a couple in the seventies/eighties got sapphires slow fizz one, not a patch on the vondells, would like to find that jukebox, makes you cringe thinking of it in some country & western bar, with all the cowboys fighting

yeh i used to roger there was one of those amazing tales of a judy freeman black issue, also we looked for a pied piper label for a while due to another myth, nice thought though, a nice michael & raymond on pied piper

Sorta questions the whole cover up thing dosn`t it or was it they new how rare these records where, therefore not needing to cover them up. can`t see it myself don`t think the knowledge was as good due to internet and things, it had to be a suck it and see process, but then again things like larry clinton was, very strange

Thats what i was getting at with the eddie holman track, why cover it? theres four that weve come up with that i can`t remember being covered more chance of finding them than eddie holman don`t you think?

Thats another don gardner, i can`t remember it being covered, just looked at anoraks corner, cover ups and its not on there, any more?

And then on the same subject, was JIMMY BURNS ever covered i can`t remember it being covered i maybe wrong please put me right if i am

If thats the case then i understand, but didn`t he also cover EDDIE HOLMAN-WHERE I`M NOT WANTED? and then uncover it, just seems a bit strange to cover up tunes that are deffo one offs, wasn`t eddie holman taken from tapes? can understand wanting to cover something to personalize the record to yourself, and to hide its identity so other copies are not unearthed, but as i say things as eddie holman, that is a deffo one off bit strange don`t you think?

that all time classic line-IT`S ALMOST LIKE EATING PEAS BY THE POUND, THEN WRAPPING UP IN ADHESIVE TAPE FROM THE WAIST DOWN, what a line top class

I do understand the reasoning for cover ups but theres allways one record that allways puzzled me as to why it was covered up LITTLE ANN-AKA ROSE VALINTINE & THE SISTERS THREE, no wonder it was the longest cover up wasn`t it a one off acetate, but why cover it?

It is a good thread, theres MORE CHINS ON HERE THAN A CHINESE PHONEBOOK

Yeh i fist heard it on the jumpin at the go go album one of the best compilation albums again imho, theres a lot off there you never hear anymore rose valentine for one think its just too fast for todays crowd bobbettes happy go lucky another one, i still love em though

Agreed lenny on of my favourites, and you never hear it out now, havn`t seen one for sale now you come to mention it for many years now, wasn`t it also on an lp CAVIAR & CHITLINS if my memory serves me right, but yes top tune imho

I have a white demo of sandy and the pebbles-he`s my kinda fella, signed, but can`t make out the last name, does anyone have any clues as to the last name of sandy?

Also another intresting one is the flip to TAMALA LEWIS-YOU WONT SAY NOTHING-IF YOU CAN STAND BY ME

Agree with you there matey, the wife allways plays that one, i also love the flip to thelma lindsay prepared to love you, WHY WERN`T YOU THERE

I don`t know about you but the first thing i do when i recieve a record is play the flip side to the one i allready know, found that a lot of the detroit stuff usually have good flip sides especially the golden world/ Ric-tic stuff, do you know any good ones?

There is also a muti coloured vinyl, same a sam fletcher

My god where did you get the money for that lot, you must have a very understanding HUSBAND

BEEEEENZ FOR TEA THEN

NEE REPLIES YET BOB?

Like that one matey, whats that the flip to? nice tune
