Heard any good acapella versions lately? I'll start the ball rolling... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87FjkqtK67o#at=53 Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine I've never been overly fond of the record, but this is a bit special

Im off shortly to pay homage to where it all started - 2648 W Grand Blvd Detroit, MI 48208, United States Apart from the above, is there anywhere else I should be checking out 'soul wise' in Detroit ? Cheers Col.

Hi Ady Has it been pointed out to you, that if its taken 40 years to find this stuff, maybe you should have looked a bit harder! Its unlikely that you are going to win a hide and seek competition at this rate. Great work by the way, I have ordered my copy Cheers Col.

Not my cuppa T, but some may find interesting Narrator is annoying too

If you are middle aged and dancing to the Candy & The Kisses - Do the 81, then you are in fact not quite right in the head.

We pay £120 per night for 4 hour session They supply the tunes, we supply the kit

Excellent, has that 'banana splits' happy vibe

Was at Wigan revival in Wigan with couple of mates a few years ago, who always stay to the end. The night was awful, by approx 5am it was sparse, just a few walking wounded Managed to persuade the promoter to end it early, so we could leave with our dignity in tact.

Very good. A bit of joie de vivre in her dancing.

Yes it literally packed the floor. No room to dance as such, only sway left and right. Happy days.

I dont understand why they are foolish. Assuming its legit isn't it nice to have a choice? Maybe its this confrontational, outspoken attitude that people on the upfront rare soul scene have to others, that is causing people to drop off the scene.

If Butch was playing this on an exclusive half of the people on here would be crawling over the top of each other to find a second copy.

A mate of mine had a one off tape by Womack & Womack, that they left in their rental car. But he has lost the tape. Doesn't get any rarer than that.

Similar intro problem - then we are in to shuffling heaven

Ignore the first 30 secs - if possible.

I do love your optimism Russ. Regrettably though, you are as mad as a hatter.
