Before you today is an authentic West Coast September 1961 Promo copy.
NOT the \"Daly City Bob\" convincing counterfeit, that has over the years fooled a few buyers with it's attention to detail. The level of accuracy, that bestowed belated acclaim on those top-quality Mariano/Catteneo doppelgangers.
Circa 1976 it was repressed in promo form, to meet the demand of the Belgium Popcorn market. Long, long before any DJ on the British Northern Soul scene thought it suitable for the NS clubs.
But it seems everything \"Popcorn\" affiliated is sooner or later adopted by the British All-nigther scene. Betty O'Brien is another in a long line of standout 60's dance tunes to be ferried across the North Sea into the very heart of Northern Soul. At it's early rise with the Northern Soul circuit, it was sadly too often, that Belgium counterfeit that changed hands for large sums.
Today the NS collector and DJ is so much more aware, we hope.
To own this slab of New York Sister attitude crafted by the trusty hand of Bert Keyes, written by the prolific wife of Bob Johnston and Paul Williams; an authentic ORIGINAL 1961 press is the only way to do it.
Especially as the \"counterfeit\" is no cheap purchase, a record that commands tidy sums also, notably in green or multi-coloured vinyl. Pretty but not the real-thing!
Here is the real thing, sound quality is crisp and clean, both labels are clean.
Click the soundfile and prepare to be blown away by \"Popcorn\" as it's most motivating.
Condition Report
Two clean labels, visual scrutiny of the play surfaces, reveal many light surface marks, none pf which affect the stylus. As you can hear it plays loud clear and true! Listen..
