you're defining GREAT soul music by this track?

you're defining GREAT soul music by this track?

Shurely shome mishtake?

you're defining GREAT soul music by this track?

Pete you plonker, Beres Hammond has a fantastic voice, and this track is his most soulful in my humble opinion and l for 1 am hoping to get hold of a copy, and so will many others.

Talking of defining soul music (GREAT SOUL MUSIC), are you going to be in attendance at Harpo's birthday bash on june 11th at The Bushbury Arms.........you enjoyed it last year even though you pretended not to like the "disco" rubbish we were playing . If memory serves me right you even said that the Carstaires sounded great.......and that coming from you was a compliment.

We love ya and would love to see you there mate.

Keep your l.p. and still get the issue on 45, l am....

Licenced issues as far as l know are quite legal to play out if you d.j.......

God some d.j.'s play vinyl carvers and pay the earth for em, and they can't be legal ........or can they!!!!!!!

dont shoot me for daring to question this issue, l'm nowt but a mere girlie and ask lots of questions.

I just wondered about the silly prices that some d.j.'s have payed to have a official c.d. original release put on vinyl(In my experience "promoter d.j.'s" make statements as to what can be played at their venues....."original only's"..... then instead of playing the original track play a carver....why? because the track in it's original format is c.d. release only, and these such promoters play vinyl only,......so have the track carved.....It confuses me, talk about mixed messages :yes:).E.G. The one track that comes to mind that many a soulie has as a carver is 8 3 1 Lisa stansfield, only ever release on c.d. until recently when 2 guy's from down south released it on a 45 licenced issue with the full backing of Lisa Stansfield , who they pay royalties to(How it should be done....no!!!!!!.....YES.). The price of this 45 l believe being £7......beats vinyl carvers £50 + price any day.....

Anyway back to the point, thankyou Ivor for making us aware that this is very soon being released for us to own as a single track, should of been done years ago, great record and a great artiste.

Just paid £60 for an original vinyl issue of 8-3-1 ....but that's time (8yrs) and inflation !!! Haha

Nope, not ok. Album is original. This is a reissue due to demand from the "Rare Soul Collectors Scene". It shall not be played out loud at any public dance.

Yours sincerely,
