Never heard of it until recently; apparently it's the biggest Deep Funk record ever that some plagarists on the Northern scene have just picked up on. Is it any good?

On Luan, "He's looking for a love". Ask Chanky nicely, and he'll post a sound file up again.

They pop up every now and then on lists, more than ebay; I've seen it between £20 & £40 in recent times.

Colonel Abrahams - 'Trapped' from the 'disco' before Colors - 'Am I gonna be the one' on the little revolving dance floor at the very top Guy - "All the way from Chicago, these are the Alabanians & The Same Thing" (The Masquaders C/U is the Albanians from being on holiday and looking over at Albania according to the man himself!)

Whispering Shadow - Stop the world / (You gotta watch the ) Fog - Mr "D's" Records K-3078 It's in stereo, so it might be a 70's recording! "Fog" is funky and crap! In the Sounds section / Out and about / Pat Brady 1985 # 6, first record

She was the leader singer of the "Audience" before going solo. The sample is from Carol Williams - Love is you - Salsoul; quite a typical record of the day and not too bad

Perhaps he gave the money (£362) to charity, rather than just take an item off his own auction because someone pointed out the "Van Gogh" was actually done by a five year old with felt-tips?

Wow, one of the very few originals, that Ovenchip turned up, I'm jealous!!!

I'm gonna have to come up to Wonderland and kill you Mark, I don't want to swap anything for the Limelights unless it involves me getting a copy of the Andantes - Like a Nightmare ( acapella version ). And while we're at it, you can take your copy of Frank Wilson and ............

It's a nice soulful acapella, Mark. I'll quite like them as you hear what people are singing about, but there no much use to non-chin- strokers and dancers. I also like studio cuts of different versions, if anyone has any to post up. Oh and especially the bit where the singer / group is being counted in by the producer. If you want I can post up James Jamerson playing just the base line to "ain't no mountain high enough"!

Motown, the Temps with Eddie Kendricks on lead?

Where the is Prestwich, so I know where I'll not be going to and spending large amounts of dosh on your small box? Post them up on here so us hermit types can have a gander.

I take it then the one on ebay (left hand scan) is an orginal and OK to put a bid on? I was just a bit worried it does not look as neatly printed as the definate original ( right hand scan)

What about the Velvet Satins? There must at 87 different kinds of labels, though in reality, I suspect half of them are early 70's pressings!

I'm saving my money to get a real one of these: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4714784695&rd=1

(How many times can you get the word original into a post!) The "original" version played out was off emi disks cut from the original studio acetate. There's a picture in Kev Roberts's top 500, I seem to remember, but I can't remember if it's accredited to the 'Prophets' or 'Originals', but the title was originally "Baby have mercy on me" which is what it was originally registered with BMI. I think it was speeded up a little for the sake of a few chemically enhanced dancers at the time. It was pressed at the time on a UK boot with Eddie Holman -'' Where I'm not wanted'' on the reverse. A different Original's version was issued on the CD "This is Northern soul! Volume 2" with a different vocalist and slightly different words, but at the correct slower original speed. Motown then released a comp of Original's tracks, the first one being the original version at the slower speeed, but titled 'Suspicion' There's another vocal by F. Knows, but it's funky with a whaa whaa guitar on it! There's also an U/R instrumental of the original take.

Chris won Cruffs with his Afgan hound a few years ago!

Ovenchips'got one at £150, so it's worth £75 tops! https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/searchartist....EO%27S+SUNSHIPP

You'll find out that the postage is more than the value of the disc!

Becasue us people who know what it is have time to try and find some more copies to sell to people with more money than sense!
