Thanks Ian. Were you watching it for the other side? Right up your street funky twaddle.

Ages since I've seen this for sale, so amaze me with what it fetches nowadays, 3 figures?

Guy alway used to say ''wait for the beat'' especially when playing Gerri Diamond - Only You. However Keb did start saying it, the first time I heard him say it was when introducing Patti Livingston - I've Got My Baby "I believe the expresion is 'wait for the beat' "I'm sure the expressions is 'wait for the beat' Turns to look over at Guy, "Indeed, the gentleman's just comfirmed it" Vocal kicks in on perfect time Priceless!

High Fashion- Holdin' back Ruby Winters - The feeling's still there

kin' marvelous. followed by 4 tops - let me set you free. Whispers - gonna love you more. Blackjack. LTD - you must have known I need love. Holdin' back , by what's his name on Merlin? Dramatics- I can't stand it.

There's a thread on here with an explanation about it's remix

Kenny Wells 'I Can't Stop' & 'Isn't Just a Shame'

Mary's version of 'What's It Gonna Be', now this isn't at all bad!

As in post 22 Ted?

Mary's version of 'Bring Him Back' not as good as I remember

Someone hijacked my account and posted this!

Pete it was going to be SC 120 see here https://www.georgwa.demon.co.uk/souldis.htm

It's the 'plug' side, the B side is this which you might recognise!

I'm sure I've read that Jimmy R was over in the UK in the 60's with a band touring at the time, but not performing as such.

They should have stayed as the Primettes as they all got a chance on lead vocal; DR's voice is too nasal fro my liking. Their best recording is Love Is Like An Itching', one of the best songs ever written, but should have been given to someone else. However, turn it over and you'll find their best record 'He's All I Got' fooking fantastic. Thier version of the Bea's 'Dr Goldfoot & The Bikini Machine' is OK, for the film of same title. Must admit I do like 'When The Lovelight Starts Shining'. Plus their versions of 'Shake ME, Wake Me' & 'Just A Little Misunderstanding.

There's a version by the Motions which is a most suitable name as it's really s**t!! I'll dig out a sound file to put the dampners on your weekend
