Or just maybe for once a modicum of common sence prevailed Dave

So we now have 7 Detroit northern collectors who also like two piece jigsaws Unbelieveable the more knackered the record the more people bid on it, these yanks must be pissing themselves at the stupidity of us Brits Can you imagine the crap and ridicule you'd get if you listed this in the soul source sales section.

I still have nightmares about this garbage: The Newbeats "Don't Turn Me Loose"

Hi Barry Referring to your original question as to what tracks are mastered from original master tapes or 45's. To expect label owners or employee's to go through their entire catalogue to give details to which is which is a bit like asking "How longs a piece of string". New material isn't a problem but regarding older material this is where most of the problems can possible arise. In a perfect world every record company or artist (independent vanity releases) would have kept and maintained their master tape properly but sadly this is not the case. So original records or acetates have to be used more or in some cases if their is damage to the master tape and the necessary restoration work cannot rectify the problem a record may have to be used in conjunction with the tape to achieve the required standard of sound reproduction. Barry's original question only ever really arises with previously issued material, this reminds me of a little story from a few years ago. when a former big noise radio DJ was praising the re mastering quality of one of our earlier Soul Junction releases, while making derogatory remarks against one of the at the time Kent CD releases. As I also owned a copy of the Kent CD I asked the DJ to tell me the name of the person responsible for the mastering on the CD cover (to which the answer i already knew) which he did. To which I replied that has we use the same company as Kent for our mastering did he not realise that it was the same person who was responsible for the mastering on both projects! both of which sounded great. After a couple of uncomfortable seconds of silence I told the said DJ that he needed to get his ears syringed, get a life and stop trying to be too clever. Dave P.S The said DJ and I no longer speak, I wonder why?

A clever DJ could always invite the audience to sing along during the missing bit Go on Ted I know your dying to give the "place bid" button a hit

Artie Satisfield also did a version.

With Landy McNeil on lead vocals you can't really go wrong Just a pity Terry can't shake his maraca's too it Dave

Sure Is Bob, so it's over to Lorriane to shed some light on the subject, Im sure that ole' soul sleuth Ady Croasdell will be interested in this one Dave

Hi Lorraine Didn't this also get released as: The Perfections "Don't Take Your Love From Me/Since I Lost My Baby" on the Drumhead label ? Dave

GOOD OLD VINNY JONES Glad to hear your on the mend and out of Hospital (what was the food like?) Dave & Louise

Hi Blake Praise indeed from a Yorkshireman ! List updated and a couple of new titles added. Dave

We'll he his a antique Nick anyone care to put a value on him Dave

Sam Pace update: I was told today by his one of his oldest friends and one time Esquire David Bursey that Sam,s family had informed him of Sam passing. When David contacted the family again today to enquire about the funeral arrangements, he was told that Sam was still hanging on in there, although he is in a coma. David is going to visit him tomorrow.

Sadly Sam Pace one of the original members of The Esquires is seriously ill (as opposed to the original information I was given that he had passed away on Friday night) he is receiving treatment for cirrhosis of the liver a condition that he has been suffering with for the last couple of years. As well as the Esquires, Sam has also featured in the line up of several other Milwaukee groups including "Ice" and "Fairplay". He was very proud when we at Soul Junction released one of his and Fairplay's unissued tracks "Don't Let Our Love Go" earlier this year. Dave
