Jason Crest - Black Mass 7 minute acetate



Here is a never before seen 7 minute version of Jason Crest's seminal composition, Black Mass, which I have discovered on a cancelled 10 inch Philips metal acetate.

Whilst sounding essentially the same as the single release, the mix is different, brighter sound, cleaner, more dynamic, with different introduction and ending.

I have no idea why it was cancelled, and Jason Crest themselves are apparently unaware of this recording being made.

Wimple Winch 4 track acetate - Atmospheres


Was this a proposed EP for release in 17th January 1967? This 10 inch Fontana acetate brings together all tracks from their 2 singles with the 'Atmospher' choice. It is listed as an EP on the label. 'Atmospheres' is shortened, slightly different mix.

There are severals sites carrying the band's history, but briefly, from Mersyside (as Four Just Men) moved to Manchester as Wimple Winch (Stockport area) disbanding in 1967.

The SELOFANE: Chase the Face - 1968



The second of only two singles by this obscure English band. Chase the Face is an interesting Baroque style pop song, with great (at times) off key brass, and a good dose of organ. You might also care to listen to 'A Girl called Fantasy'.

This demonstration copy released 13th September 1968.

Off some interest is that this copy was sent to FINITO (a record producition and promotion comapany headed by Tony Palmer & Adrian Rudge up until 1970 when Rudge moved to Polydor).
