Mel - I don't know this Bumpshop disc, but Albert had a few 45s on the Tri City label. I assume it's the same guy.
Do you have the details from the label; number, writers, etc'.?

I thought "Reflections" was by a singer named Al Jay. I love it; haven't heard the other side though.

Nice scan Lars. Great song too.

I'm not sure how many 45s there were on Bumpshop, but my listing has several gaps:

125 - Turn of the Century
126 - Dee Edwards
130 - Third Demption
136 - Stix & Stoned
152 - The Steppers
153 - Al Jay
162 - Final Decision (this was released twice)

Can anyone fill in the missing numbers?

Mel,

The Final Decisions' song is "Keep On Walking."

"Money Can't" was recorded by Turn of the Century (#125); I don't know of a Pacesetters' 45 on Bumpshop.

I found another Bumpshop record.

Bump145.jpg

Other side is �Dreams Selection� by Sunshine. The numbering system on Bumpshop is a bit strange. Not always are the GM numbers and the record number the same. On the Dee Edwards single (126) is the GM number 128. And this scan has a record number of 1102! By the way, this is a rock/funk group.

Thanks Lars

PJ Proby (1960's Brit-pop singer) recorded a song with a similar title. I wonder if it's the same one?

Graham, yes it's the same song - Pat and Lolly Vegas went on to form Redbone, Jimmy Ford went on
to co-write a lot of songs with Bobby Womack
including "Harry Hippie"
