I'd read (in at least one forum) that it wasn't.

No idea.

Soul for Sale?

Mike Russell, the culture minister, said:

"We are certainly a listening government and try to keep in the groove. But it's up to the national collection bodies to decide what objects they want to acquire."

Sanctuary were swallowed up by the monolith that is Universal Music Group over a year ago now, Dave.

I doubt you'd get even a response from them (UMG)...although Laurence Cane-Honeysett and Nick Bourne are doing JA-related stuff for UMG.

Just listening to the Soul Vendors' Latin-edged BO-BO and the rhythm fits this avatar almost 100%

...IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU ARE A TRUE COLLECTOR OF QUALITY BLACK MUSIC KEEP IN TOUCH DAVE K

Thanks, Dave - I have my fair share of stinkers too

Catch me at the Trojan forum (link below)...

No one's opinion on anything is ever wrong, I reckon.

However, the base information for that opinion may be incomplete or incorrect.

Just my opinion (which is right!)

Wow so you (Smiffy) were actively collecting in the Sixties? Do you still have any I wonder that you bought when you were 8/9?

I can't be the only one in here who's still got pretty much all the records he's ever bought.

I started in 1964 with E.M.I. record tokens I got for my 11th. birthday in June. These are the first two records I ever bought - they're still in their (admittedly battered) original sleeves and I still treasure them:

Yesterday, I asked pretty much the same question over at Trojan ...

https://www.trojanrecords.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6761

Never thought of that angle, Chris - I've also never had (or needed) a Swiss Army knife, so wouldn't know what's on there...

it is, good spot Chris - and I think it's on metal water skis!

Water skis? I'd go along with that

Humph!

Thanks for the comments so far.

I have several others in the Island USA series - all feature that metal bar.

Perhaps it's the edge of a flying saucer...

Island UFO anyone?

I picked up DAYBREAK back in '75, having heard it on (probably) Dave Symmonds BBC Radio 1 show. I don't think I ever heard it anywhere else on the radio and maybe just the once. I never heard it whenever I went out (not that often, I'll admit) and it's the only tune I have by them - the B side is Bobby McLure ~ YOU BRING OUT THE LOVE IN ME.

The only thing that strikes me about it is that it could be a slice of blue-eyed Soul.

Any info appreciated:

I bought several Soul packs (various sizes) from Blues & Soul (10 Stax import for £1.80? in 1971) and Oldies Unlimited.

I haven't got rid of any of the records.

On this label? (forgive my ignorance) - mine has MR in a circle stamped on it and "M# 117" and separately "100300-X" preceded by a triangle hand-scratched.

The disch isn't that thick, the label sees to be solidly stuck on the record.

A pleasant surprise on flipping LONG SHOT KICK DE BUCKET (TR672)

Pete mate - THE BREAK is on the Trojan Revive Box Set if you have that one (TJETD029 ~ 2002) - if not, I can post the tune up somewhere and you can have a listen.

Ooops.

Jackpot JP808?

I had LOVE AND AFFECTION down as Dennis Alcapone in my database - thanks for that, Glenn - I just corrected it

From Tapir's:

CS 7085 The Sound Dimension - Soul Trombone // Lloyd & Randolph - It Ain't

Produced by Coxson Dodd

1969

I have both these sides on separate CDs - I don't have Winston Francis doing YOUR CHEATING HEART. However, I know that Winston Francis was either "Lloyd" or "Randolph", so it's either the exact same tune or Winston Francis did a re-work of it at some time

Hope that helps...

anything etched in the run-out?

Can anyone tell what year this emanates from? (At the risk of sounding foolish, I'd have hazarded about 66/67, but...)

Many thanks - Zap / Joe

Don't remember seeing her on RSG but I do seem to recall seeing her on "Thank Your Lucky Stars", weaving in and our of giant lollipops while miming to it!

I can't remember, GM - but I probably watched it (de rigeur viewing in our house) and would place it during the Spring of 1964 - MBL entered the various UK charts in March of that year.
