I don't know how far everyone has got with these, but don't bother sending me anything thing more sophisticated than the CD on a paper sleeve, an A4 print out of track listing in a plain envelope ( a first or second class stamp will cover the postage in the UK)- an money saved can go towards another swap?

Interplay - d&r - 11528 refosoul

Carstairs - wigan - 11468 refosoul

xx I Cant Help Lovin You - Paul Anka - 6768 refosoul

It a different, sparser mix than the one on the Kent CD I think Tim Ashibende found the original studio acetate, and Carl Fornum has it now.

Catch That Teardrop - 5 Royales -Home Of The Blues/ABC 10505 refosoul

This issue I have that I believe to be an original is the same as yours. The other I have which I think is the boot does not have the LW BF A in the run out. (The D MOS 1 scratched in the boot is half as big again and the label is a lighter shade of orange, but if you don't have them both to hand that's pointless information?)

something's burning - marvellos - loma 11309 refosoul Smokey the Bear would pull out all his hair?

Say Something Nice To Me - bobby kline - mb 11301 refosoul

Sorry, it does nothing for me. Sounds like the lounge band form the 'Love Boat' meets Peters & Lee

taking care of business - bobby kline - mb 11284 refosoul

Does it say in the sleeve notes that's Paul is on the lead for this release? I know there are four takes of the track, but David R was on three of them.

MY LIFE WITH YOU - traditions - 11130 refosoul

someday baby - earles - 11120 refosoul

everybodys got somebody - earles - 11118 refosoul

until you came along - carolyn crawford - 11100 refosoul

I think she only had three releases on Motown "Forget About Me" / "Devil In His Heart" (1963) "My Smile Is Just a Frown Turned Upside Down" / " I'll Come running"(1964) "When Someone's Good to You" / "My Heart" (1964) I think "i'll come running" is the best of the bunch

CD about 28 tracks and I've got about that many LP's but I'll give it a go, count me in.

Usually, the co-ordinating person * (you) sets a cut off for numbers (10?) and participation time (sunday 8pm?) then eveyone involved PMs thier address to * who then PMs all the addressess to those involved, who then mail a CD. (About 60 -70% come up with the goods.)

It's not that rare or difficult, but might take a bit of rooting around to find one. I don't speculate on prices anymore because I'm alway wrong, but if I was to £30 - £50 range?

Whispering Shadow - Stop The World - MR "D's" Records Stop the world - Whispering Shadows - 10539 refosoul

You been on the cooking sherry again? It's Mr Trouble who was looking for one not me, but I don't think Carl Fortnum would part with it.

PEOPLE - ellipsis - briarmeade Just in case anyone is wondering what the fuss is about. Quite a jolly tune, but I don't think it's worth £21.71p a second. How long's it been known & played for?

Motown have released proper disks for karaoke machines, backing tracks, lyrics on screen etc.
