November 7, 200618 yr I've just tried to sell a British Demo of Heavy Love, from the album Who am I, on Ebay starting price £1.99 and no takers! Do you happen to have a scan of that? My copy of WHO AM I is very scratched up due to relying on incompetant (sp) folk to help me move! That's one of my favorite cuts on the album!

Hi Maverick, What are the unreleased tracks like on this CD? Did you get the "David" one from a couple of years ago? Cheers Paul
November 7, 200618 yr Hi I know that they're not his early stuff, but these two clips are my favourites which I posted in Media Section a while back. Hi! I will check these out when I get in...my job block the YOU TUBE here...
November 7, 200618 yr Hi Maverick, What are the unreleased tracks like on this CD? Did you get the "David" one from a couple of years ago? Cheers Paul Hi Paul! I have the UNRELEASED CD and I enjoy it, especially love OUT IN THE COUNTRY! Vol.2 is on rotation in my CD player...I haven't gotten past the WHO AM I recordings as of yet! Vol.1 I still play...I love the 60s albums!
November 7, 200618 yr The unreleased tracks on DR Vol.2...it's a wonder why these weren't released in the first place! The lyrics and titles seem to be autobiographical...when I get time I will upload them here! WHICH WAY TO MY BABY was also covered by Dennis Edwards and MANNEQUIN by the Temptations with Paul on lead. Edited November 7, 200618 yr by Lady Maverick

November 8, 200618 yr Roger...great clip! The second one says that it's no longer available. Hi You're right, It was OK yesterday when I posted the link. It has been removed in the last few hours. That is the second time "Walk Away From Love" has been removed, Shame, they were both great clips. However, I've found another, which should work this time. My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me) However, I've found another, which should work this time ----------------------------------- Walk Away From Love Edited November 8, 200618 yr by 45cellar
November 8, 200618 yr Cheers Cunnie I will be relisting soon. I was suprised It didn't get a bid when at the same time I sold other Motown discs which I thought were inferior to this. I never get tired of hearing David Ruffin tracks.

November 8, 200618 yr Heavy Love - david ruffin - motown 11173 refosoul As promised... Fine as David's version is, Faith Hope and Charity's original 1973 version on Sussex mashes it to a pulp IMO. But Ruffin and Van McCoy was a musical match made in heaven and the albums they made together are among the best of either man's career... However, for my money, David's best solo recording is "I Saw You When You Met Her" from the "Me And Rock 'n' Roll Are Here To Stay" album. Best listened to with all razorblades and knives hidden away.... TONE

November 10, 200618 yr Hi guys, on the subject of early David Ruffin. Just bought a copy of "Action speaks louder than words" on Check-mate on E-bay the other day, but the flip is "Hurry Mr Bus driver" ??? It's a white label, 1003. Have I been booted? Seller says it's original U.S pressing. Marc Forrest> Great set at 100 Club last weekend by the way! You also mentioned Action/Hurry earlier in this thread. Can you shed any light? Manship has it up with "You Can Get What I Got" on the flip but that's not a white label. I'm confused... Thanks for any help! Marcus
November 11, 200618 yr Groovy clip, man! There was one from Soul Train with him singing WALK AWAY FROM LOVE and WILD HONEY, but YOU TUBE has since deleted it! HI Yes, the Soul Train clip was awesome, shame they deleted It. There was also a brilliant Version of "I Couldn't Believe It" by David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks that was also removed recently. Edited November 11, 200618 yr by 45cellar
