  1. From Discogs: "An obscure US outfit, Pages - a one-off, unique production masterminded by none other than Detroit jazz legend / Herman Kelly & Life band member / Isaac Hayes collaborator, Travis Biggs" - if that's what's at the back of your mind!
  2. Don't think it revolves around clubs, but more get togethers with music playing - Ruben Molina is the DJ name I see most frequently relating to Lowrider Soul.
  3. There was also the bootleg 45, with Brenda Holloway's version on the flip. I thought this came out a few years earlier than the Motown Sevens box set, but according to Discogs both came out in 2013.
  4. Can’t imagine it’s rare enough to merit a bootleg? Always been fairly easy to pick up.
  5. Divine & Futtle proudly present: The East Neuk of Fife launch party for "Hey America!" Award-winning author and broadcaster Stuart Cosgrove's latest epic. Continuing his forensic levels of research into American soul music and social history (expertly examined in the acclaimed soul trilogy of "Detroit 67", "Memphis 68" and "Harlem 69"), this time the spotlight is shone on the unique relationship between Black Music and the White House. Event will feature: • Book Reading and Spoken Word with Stuart • Q&A session • Book signing session (stall hosted by publishers Polygon Books) • Soul Club after-party After the spoken word part, the lights dim and Stuart will be joined on the decks by Glasgow-based DJ and collector Andrew Divine, spinning soul across the spectrum - northern soul, crossover, funk and disco until 1am. Happening in the intimate surroundings of Futtle (an organic brewery and record shop on the outskirts of St. Monans) in the beautiful East Neuk of Fife. Tickets are extremely limited to 70 - as the Brothers Of Soul sang... hurry, don't linger! Tickets £12 in advance: https://www.wegottickets.com/event/562603/

  8. I suspect the polythene printed RCA sleeve will be from Brazil or Peru or somewhere South American.
  9. It’s quite a subtle re-work - apparently it was his very first remix...
  10. The Inferno re-issue from 1979 had two Tom Moulton mixes on it - is it possible the Soul Fox uses one of those?
  11. I was thinking it's very similar to the housing market. Where previously houses would be set sale, estate agents decided to auction them since demand was outstripping supply. Everybody could've played it cool and decided to just keep paying the "set sale" price, but instead decided they were happy to pay 10% over the asking price and so it kept on fuelling itself. The only reason house prices have doubled is because people with spare savings decided that's what they wanted to spend their money on. Of course, the people who bought property 20 or 30 years ago can still buy and sell - in essence, they're only spending what they paid back then. So... basically the same as records?
  12. Good thread that, sadly I can't add to. But might be worth giving John Manship a phone, he's bound to have encountered him. Or try sending Keb Darge a message on Facebook? Look forward to seeing your finished feature...
  13. Presumably most collectors don't assume a limited edition single will get re-pressed (bootlegged) behind the label's back and sold via a third party - pretty dodgy behaviour, if not downright illegal?
  14. For sale: John Harris & the Soul Sayers “Hangin’ In” (Kerston numbered re-issue 444/500) £100 (inc P&P) Played once or twice, lovely condition. PayPal please! PM to reserve. Thanks for looking. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GlPHGUl6cc4
