It was off ebay at a high starting bid, but no one bid on it, so i emailed him about a month later and bought it, just over £600, probably to much, saying that i did check popsike first on the price.

Dj with it last night, fantastic. and played it on our radio boogaloo radio.

Dont know who he is, but he had good taste in music

So we dont know if it ever got a major release, or did it just go out to djs radio ect. Or is there a big box of issues sittin in a corner of a ware house?

Yes i have Mike, i have a mate who just bought an issue for £250 and can remember talking to Henry Atkinson about it and he has had 2, both warped, 1 was sent back to seller and the other was straightened out and looked perfect and then sold on for £200 he thinks !!!!!

sounds very cheap for what seems to be a seriously rare issue and on the other matter i have a Sam Williams Demo and i,m sure i have seen JM with an issue a few years back !!!, there was a scan doing the rounds at one time of it i,m sure !!

Pete,

Never had one personally. Of either JD or SW. Demos plenty but never a stocker.

Yes Mike as a matter of fact my mate Smiggy had one & sold it on the other day, first one I've ever seen, can't remember who he sold it to but I saw it again (same 1) in a box at Skeggy at the weekend.

Thanks Spot.

Do you know how much your mate sold it for and what was the asking price for the one you saw at Skeg?

Many thanks.

Mike.

"Let's talk it over" by Sam Williams was also issued on another label, the name of which escapes me at the moment - its a red, New York label. I'll see if I can find it.

I am newish to Soul Source and found this thread

Did we ever find out about Sam and who he was as Dave's website has disappeared of into orbit somewhere  (I apologise if it is somewhere else and I have missed it)

 

This version has added female backing vocals and to me is a better version.

 

fantastic record a rare one to

Lol! I think my copy has got 'Ginger' scratched into the run out. I haven't seen it though since about 1992 when it was stolen! If anyone out there has got it say hello from me.😪

Got mine from a collector friend in Detroit 1994 when I was there with John Kingham. it was less than $10 from memory
