Ace tune Des, it should be snapped up. Sounds rough as a badger's arse in the clip though, is that just the recording?

Careful on the 12", i got burnt on a repress some years back that the seller said was an orig. Expensive mistake. I wonder whether there was ever a 7" of this in the same way that there is a 7" of Sylvia Striplin "You Can't turn me away"? Brill double sider.

Is there a soundclip of this anywhere Steve?

And of course this little beauty. "Brazilian Rhyme".

This is my favourite. "Running". wicked guitar work.

I bet it has!!

???? What's that Steve?

I still rate that Mixed Emotions "Am I Imposing" as an absolute killer tune and such a great dancer. It sounds awesome played out loud too and it's an original.

This is the track for me off the LP though, "I'm the Fool", gorgeous!

I'm sure I've seen this for sale as a 45, a European press I think?

I've got an Ovations somewhere, I'll dig it out and let you know. Jordi

A few killer tracks on this set. The 12" of "call my name" is nice too!

Here's Bobby with June Yamagishi, pure bliss.

The whole tune seems to build up to the last third, which is simply awesome, the tune just seems to hit another gear and thwe lead vocalist just takes off!!. I had it in my sales list and then I gave it another listen and I had to take it out as it is so good. Don't know what I was thinking wanting to sell it really, mind you, I regret selling loads of things.

Ever wish you'd never bought 4 versions of the same song? Couldn't you just keep the one (best IMO) version, Ronnie Milsap?

Great price on Eliminators.

i agree with you Mark, the quality of performances are very good, we're not let down by a shitty Kylie type vocal, but I just struggle to see the point. I could see more point if it was a house or club production that didn't try to recreate every same detail, nuance and phrasing that Lou and his band did 40 years ago. I'm not sure that I go with Greg's view that it will reach a whole new younger audience based on it's sound, as to me it's not different enough, unless there's a video that shows hip young pretty things. I'm sure that if there's a young audience out there for this version, then there would be a young audience out there for Lou's version, after all, we loved it when we were young. Lee's undoubted marketing skills and contacts could probably steer a whole new audience to Lou's version if the presentation was hip and cool.

LP only Paul.....unless someone has heard of a 45?

Do you mean the track Hotel Sheet off the LP, or do you mean the killer track off the lp, this one; I'll fly to your open arms.

I'm not quite sure what the point of remaking something in virtually the identical way to the original is, every vocal nuance, every horn flourish and exchange etc is exactly the same. If Lou Pride's version did not exist I would think this was good, but if I heard them both for the first time, it would be Lou's version all day long. It might be just me, but I prefer to hear cover versions that bring something new to the table and are therefore valid in their own right. I suspect some deep house mixes of this may be on the horizon in which case I would say fair enough, even though they may not be to my liking, at least they will be a different interpretation of a classic. All in my humble one of course.

Ah...true enough, but the first thing you would look for would be a stamp, so you'd just tilt a bald fellas head (plenty of 'em in a soul do) towards a light source and let the resulting reflected light reveal the stamp.

That should make it dead easy to spot then Jerry.

Was that you Nev?

What did the one on Ebay go for the other night?

Yes, I've got a few of them but they're not for sale.
