Bob, 'I am Imposing' never came out back in the day like 'Gold' did. It was something that Cole recorded with the band but never put out. The first release of it about 6 years or so ago was on the blue label but it was a cronically bad mastered record, terrible muffled sound quality. I recieved a copy from I think Elijah's son and I told him what I thought of it. They then re mastered the studio tapes and got someone who knew what they were doing to produce the fantastic sounding version that we have now. I threw my 'original' away as it was so shit. Elijah's son seemed a really nice guy, he sent me a letter appreciating my comments and then sent me a couple of copies of the newly mastered version when it was done. Jordi

Anyone?.....tucked away in their boxes?......under the bed.......in the attic?

Anyone got one of these please. PM thanks. Cheers...Jordi

Bleedin' hell, I let my Moonville copy go for about £70. I'm sure it's about the same price as the Kapp version, it's never a £300 tune surely. Jordi

Greg Heilig is a cracking tune!! Jordi

This should do the trick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_qctt9PjTE Jordi

At least we know this is an original. i like this better than 'Gold' actually, the production quality is amazing. He may be batshit mental but Elijah knew what he was doing when he produced and engineered this. I don't know why he is trying to sell it at this price when it was about $25 before. Jordi

Don't forget, as John Manship often says, sometimes he puts things up for auction because if it was on set sale his phone would be ringing all day. They're not his records, he's just trying to get the best possible price for his sellers (and obviously his commission), also hence his Marks and Spencers style seductive descriptions. Jordi

Wouldn't be a Curtis Liggins would it.

Kellee Patterson - 'I'm gonna love you just a little more' on UK Mint has got to be rareish? (it's the full length version that is only on the US promo flip as well). Jordi

Earcave records had it for sale 6 months or so ago for £200 or thereabouts I think. I was gutted as it always was a tune I wanted but I was skint. Jordi

I always thought / believed that Wondering was supposed to be on a Trojan 45, not Action. As I said though, I've searched for a long time and never come across it. Jordi

I always heard there was a UK press with Wondering on, but I've looked for years and never found it, apart from on the LP 'In Miami' or the US Konduko 45. Jordi

I'm not sure if the Chosen Few on Konduko were the same as the Polydor group. There seem to have been a lot of groups called the Chosen Few. The Konduko Jamaican group did have records out on UK Trojan, The Chosen Few In Miami LP for example. Jordi

They're the Topics aren't they? Jordi

Totally agree, and if they've got any change left they could buy the utterly fantastic Sag War Fare 45. Jordi

It should be £30 - £40, unless it's gone up with some demand on it? Jordi

Class tune Pete. Shouldn't be hard to pick up. Jordi

Yep, I'm waiting for that to come out (with '1960 what' on the flip!) Jordi

If only I had some money Karl... Jordi

Is this the original version then, before Rita's version? I've never heard of it. Sounds great though. I think if I were the producer Rod Bumgardner I might have changed my name though.... Jordi

Superb, sophisticated musicianship also on both sides, tight as it should be. I wonder who would have been the players, it doesn't sound like any Funk Brothers moonlighting to me. Jordi

Mine is Dutch LP also, I think it also got a German LP press. It's on Epic. Jordi

Nice one Steve, great little film. Jordi
