    Mm, pray tell. Give us an example of what you think is a good soul record. Nothing wrong with this particular Millie record or loads of her other stuff.

Is there one ? Thorght it was a UK only on 45 

If memory serves me right the UK 45 mix is not as good as the original Album mix either. But maybe I've got cloth ears :-)

uk issue is cheap, eBay is littered with them, should cost you a tenner.... also, Kent put out an Inst version, just with the backing, well worth getting that is, you might buy that as a Mp3 download of the Ace records web site..

It's not a pop record!  It's a straight forward 70's soul record with excellent lyrics.  Nothing wrong with it!

"House For Sale" first came out on her 'Free And In Love' album from 1976 which got both a US & UK outing.

As the track never had a US release on 45 this means it must've first got air play as an album only track (though I've never seen, heard or read anything from anybody to either confirm or deny this).

Then due to specialised demand from up north it came out in the UK later that year on a 7inch (but not in the US).

The album mix wades in a shade over 4 minutes long and is a touch more mellow whereas me thinks they've beefed up the single mix more to sound better on the dance floor and trimmed it down to a more manageable 3 and a bit minutes.

Derek c/o 1799 Get Well Avenue or summat

Was definatly played off the us album 76 at sale and blackpool mecca. Swapped one for caprees how to make a sad man glad, not too much difference in tempo.
