Five Du-tones Onederful Personal Copy
The Five Du-Tones on One-derful 4818 is nothing really to shout about even on a demo. But for oddball curiosities how about this label scan? Presumably they were given to winners of competitions at various roadshows, fairs and the like that record companies used to promote their acts at. The flip side of the record uses the standard pink yellow striped design. derek Five u-Tones "Monkey see-monkey do/The Gouster" (One-derful 4818)

Ray Charles "don't Need No Doctor" Cool Picture Sleeve
From the day I got it I always thought this was a pretty cool sleeve - that silhouette of Ray would super impose well onto a flyer or whatever. derek I'd forgotten it was the team of Ashford, Simpson & Armstead that had written "I don't need no doctor" which makes references to his drug habit at the time.

Teddy Cash & The Cha Cha Label Outta Chicago
Recently purchased the Teddy Cash single on Cha Cha Records out of Chicago from another member on here (thanks NC). I bought it for the haunting empty ballad "You are so wonderful" - OK there are a couple of shaky moments in it that drop it down a bit but on the whole methinks its a good sound. The uptempo flip "I love the sound of music" is dire. It's a label that hadn't rung any bells with me previously and to be honest a "must investigate their releases sometime" type thought had never crossed my mind. I came across a Marvello's release on the label "Come back my love" on a red design but couldn't find a mention of this release - or indeed label - in Robert Pruter's excellent 'Chicago Soul' book. However a quick trawl through Gemm soon turned up alot more information about the Cha Cha imprint which I'll add on later..... derek

Randy Hart On Brunswick
Hi Tony - always thought "The other one" slotted into that "good but not brilliant" section, and like you I can't hear $300 in it (coughs). And don't waste any time wondering what the flip side "Excuse me" sounds like. It's not good. Scan & soundfile added. derek I'm sure this has been discussed umpteen times on here before but on what releases did Brunswick start and finish issuing promo copies on the pale blue label?

Few Label Scans Please
Steve - presume you've tried John Manship's 'Rarest Of The Rare' section I'm sure there's scans of most of the records you're after. Only problem is they might not be big enough or clear enough for your needs. Popsike is another avenue. derek

Sylvia Croasdell
I'm rarely shocked these days but when I heard this sad news on Saturday morning it really did make me pause for thought, it must have made me quite poignant during the day as I even went onto the 6T's website later to look at her photos. My sympathies go out to all her family. derek

Valuation
cos I'm old school I always tend to underestimate record values (ie. famous last words at most venues "it's only about thirty quid isnt it?"). So I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this on a list for £75! Hells bells where did that price come from? Thought it was about £20 or less? Maybe I should get out more or stop in more and study the price guides/Ebay/Popsike blah blah. derek

Al Wilson "i've Got A Feeling" Playboy + Soundclip
Al Wilson "I've got a feeling / Be concerned" (Playboy 6062) released 1976 Whilst rummaging in a forgotten box of sales stuff a few days ago I came across 3 styrene issue copies of this record all mint unplayed. Listen to the soundclip of this lovely mid seventies floater and think of summer. Only the issues have the socially conscious "Be concerned" on the flip -search Refosoul for sound file. Also found 1 double sided vinyl promo copy of "I've got a feeling" only VG+ though. So issues are £5 and the DJ is £4 + postage £1 UK, £1-20 Europe. Payment by chq,PO or Paypal + 4% (to D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk). Off list reples please PM or email. Thanks, derek

Brook Benton "if You Only Knew" + Soundclip
Ever since hearing Roger Banks play Brook Benton's rather wonderful "Where does a man go to cry" on RCA I've kept an eye out for other RCA cuts by Mister Benton. Mmmm sadly most of the ones I've come across have been forgettable middle of the road ballad type things. Then I came across this little tune and thought that's not too bad in a sorta beat ballad stylee. Whilst rummaging in a forgotten box of sales stuff a few days ago I located 3 black issues and 1 white demo, all mint. So issues are £5 and the WDJ is £8 + postage £1 UK, £1-20p Europe. Payment by chq,PO or Paypal + 4% (to D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk). Off list reples please PM or email. Thanks, derek

Pets With Soulie Names
After we had to get our last cat (called Spider aka Spiddy) put down we went to our local rescue centre to chose another asap. Understandably most of the cats in there were nervous, withdrawn and frightened, virtually all of them backed away from us apart from one. This dusty blonde ginger tom stomped up to the door saying choose me choose me, trouble was he still had his conkers and sprayed everywhere and it stunk. Perhaps that's why he was still there? But Miranda went back on the Friday night and picked him up whilst I went to the Wilton allnighter. I rang home at midnight to find her watching the tele with the cat sat on her shoulder and our dog Meg sat next to her on the floor. Knowing that one of Miranda's favourite singers is Marvin Gaye I am positive to this day that I suggested calling the cat Marvin but Miranda still claims she thought of it. Anyway along the way his name got shortened to Marvo and his conkers went in the bin. derek

Brit Funk - The History Of British Soul Music Book
Some of you may recall a thread I posted earlier this year about the UK street soul TSR label - well maybe not due to response it generated (laughs)... /index.php?showtopic=42410&st=0&gopid=475844entry475844 After a bit of web surfing I came across this rather interesting book 'BRIT FUNK - The History Of British Soul Music' By Andrew Robert Heskins. Originally released in 1993, a special edition was re-released in 1999. A quick search on UK Amazon revealed no copies however it looks like you can download it as a pdf file here www.wholecircleround.co.uk/discovision/spins/britfunk.pdf Onwards, derek

Oliver Joy
Thanks Marc for mentioning his other release on Big Deal - always wondered what it was like. Flogged my copy of "Keep love growing" a few years ago along with Marty Lewis "I can't do without you" on the same logo. Did you get one of them Marc? owards, derek

Eddie Billups
Hey up Sean - meant to mention this a few months ago but forgot. At the Middleton allnighter last January Soul Sam played me on a portable a 7" by Shorty Billups "Shake off that dream" on Solid Gold Records. Mmmm never seen it by that name before I knew the various releases of this song by Eddie Billups had been dissected on here many times in the past so I put a search on it and trawled through the results. In this thread there's no mention of this song as being released by Shorty Billups, so does that mean Eddie and Shorty are in reality the same person? However on the wonderful flip of his 77 single "Try something new" Eddie namechecks a Shorty Billups so is he/she a brother/sister or some other family member? So what I'm trying to say was - was "Shake off that dream" released twice then on Solid Gold once as by Eddie Billups and the other as Shorty Billups? Vinyl eh tut! derek I think a library of label scans would help

"house For Sale" Reissue On Kent
I got the UK 45 first and when I picked up the American album which included said track I was quite suprised (and a little bit excited if I'm honest....) to discover the LP cut seemed much smoother and less beefy (if that makes any sense). So does that mean the northern DJ's who first played the track way back on its release did so as an album cut? And then due to demand it was released in the UK as a single. Still a great great track. derek
