Mello Fellows is AWESOME! got mine buy now $10 on ebay, have seen them make $100ish.

A couple of recommendations from me...

Steeplechase "Never coming back" (Ploydor) - £75ish, one for sale at £50 in sales section.

Freddie waters "Singing a new song" (Curtom) - £15ish, been out on Re-Fo-Ree but this is quite hard to find.

Nate Evans "The look on your face" (DPG) - Shite quality but a good record, and one that should cost no more than £40 (bought mine from Trouty for £31 ). Ok so it's not the best version, but it's the only one you're gonna get for less that £400

Hi Baz . one that come`s to mind and dose it for me is...Clydene Jackson :: I Need Your Love.. it Origionaly came out on LP (Fresh) but you can get it on a British Joe-Boy single quite hard to come by i think but not expensive . Think the LP is abought £30-40 and the single is £10-12

I know someone who has the Natural 4 for sale.

I presume you mean Hanging On To A Lie?

Cheers,

M

Maurice Jackson - Lucky Fellow (Candle Lite) & (Lakeside)

Don't know, mine's just really bassy and muffled. Quality of flip is fine though

Steeplechase is just brilliant

Remember buying the Steeplechase 45 as a new release in the 70's; a nice 45.

Couple of cheapies that you ALL should have in your collections, and SHAME on you if you haven't at a max of 15 sterling a throw.........................................

Pauline Shivers - Won't you come back home - Opex

Joyce Jones - Make up your mind - Atco (there is an earlier indie release of this on a red coloured label which fetches a little more) reminds me of Ann Sexton on 77

Cheers

Pauline Shivers - Won't you come back home - Opex one of the best 15 quidders you'll find and a Keith Money fave

I asked Dean Parrish about the Steeplechase record at Cleethorpes a couple of summers back. He said that he recorded an entire albums worth of vocals for them which remained unissued, and that he considered these tracks the best of his career.

it's still a mystery to me why Oscar Weather's "Just to prove I love you" on Top&Bottom is so little mentioned/talked about, a great, great crossover track. there must be really a lot of copies around, because it is still easy to pick up or is it not that well known??

Same goes for Tony Lampkin "He's a better liar than me" on Jemkl

two more:

Johnny Adams" You're a bad habit, baby" SSS, great title, isn't it

and:

Tyrone Davis "All the waiting is not in vain" on Dakar fantastic record

Cheers,

Stefan

Mine's Mean Green, so I'm guessing Buss is rarer am I right?

Still no joy getting a copy of Satin anyone got one for sale/trades? email: l_l_m_w@hotmail.co.uk

oooh nearly got me 1000 posts badge - only 4 to go :dance: :dance:

Mellow fellows is excellent- Got one recently but in bad condition but plays ok

A Good one for me is - Get yourself together- The Younghearts on Pick a hit

Not sure value as I have not seen it often- maybe someone could help!

Here's a few cheapies to add to the list not sure if they have been listed before and to be quite honest i'm too fcuinkg lazy to check

Basic Black & Pearl - There'll come a time there'll come a day - Polydor US or Bus Stop UK (quite hard on UK)

Deniece Chandler & Lee Sain - Hey Baby - Toddlin Town - Brill and sooo cheap

Bobby Moore - Call me (your anything man) - Hot Line (1st) or Scepter (2nd)

Laura Lee - (If you want to try love again) Remember me - Hot Wax/Invictus superb Eloise Laws soundalike but better IMO

Shirly Brown - Yes sir brother - Truth

Luke Day - Love Lines - Renfro old Stafford spin i think sounds great now

Fourth Day - You Turn me on/On My Way Up - DT YTMO is the same as Emanual Laskey's I'd rather leave on my feet but better and the the flip is great too

Lew Kirton - Come On With It - Marlin simply superb

Catherine Miller - Don't waste your time - Tyson another great little choon

Trouty

Fourth Day "You Turn Me On" is NOT the same as Emanuel Laskey! It has a very similar backing track and arrangement (different take though I am sure) but totally different lyrics. A very weak and cheesy tune when compared to Emanuel Laskey, and certainly not better IMO. Did not Fourth Day do an actual version of "I'd Rather Leave On My Feet" which is pretty decent? I am sure I have seen that at some point, or maybe not, can't recall. I would like a sound file of "I'd Rather Leave On My Feet" by Fourth Day, if there is such a tune? I think there is anyway . Emanuel Laskey also comes in two rather different versions, the green and silver label versions are very different with the silver one having a more 'modern' sound.

Mine's Mean Green, so I'm guessing Buss is rarer am I right?

You are right on Buss being much rarer than Mean Green

Satin - I presume you mean "Your loves got me"? In which case cannot help.

Pedantic tw*t yes OK not exactly the same but the intro is almost identical and the backing throughout very similar albeit a more modern arrangement. It was just a little guide to help people who don't know it get a feel for what it's like. The production team is the same on both records and it's on the same label but hey what does that count for, of course there is also the much rarer version of YTMO by the Magnificents also on DT (Dennis Talley's label who was married to Darlene Love btw)

PM me if interested.

I also have a M- copy of the Five Keys ''stop,what you're doing to me'' for £20 ,its the rarer coloured vinyl as well.

glad to see people talking about the type of records I collect !!

Edited March 23, 200520 yr by headsy

Three Degrees-Find my way-Roulette

much superior slower original of the Cameo tune big in the late 7ts.

T S U Toronados- Got to get through to you+ what good am I Atlantic

Masters of soul -do you really love me-Ovide

Little Milton-Let me back in -Stax not really xover but just about the best 7ts record for a £5!
