Shy girl - johnny & expressions - josie 11731 refosoul Johnny & Expressions "Shy girl" (Josie) VG++ £12; lovely midpace group harmony thing

Call on me - barbara mercer - sidra 11730 refosoul Barbara Mercer "Call on me/So real" (Sidra) Ex- £30; File under "one of the great cheaper double siders outta Detroit". Another trade out of Angus from Barnsley's box at the Wilton on Friday 17th November. In fact he told me that I'd traded/sold him this record sometime last year at the Greatstone and now it's come back to me. How bizarre?

Got you on my mind - joe hinton - backbeat 11727 refosoul what a great record indeed - has been discussed on site recently as one of those sounds which everybody seems to like but it's just never really taken off on the dancefloor. Probably through not enough DJ's playing it! Have seen a few copies for sale recently at £75 here's a minter for £40. Another Pearson fair deal...... Actually heard it played at the Wilton on Friday 17th November to a good reception. Thanks to Angus from Barnsley for the trade.

Here's another 5 up for grabs - Joe Hinton "Got you on my mind" (Backbeat ) Ex £40; SOLD Barbara Mercer "Call on me/So real" (Sidra) Ex- £30; SOLD Johnny & Expressions "Shy girl" (Josie) VG++ £12; reduced down to a tenner Wallace Brothers "I need someone" (Jewel) Ex £15; reduced to £12 Bobby Wade "I'm in love with you" (Way Out) Ex £30. P&P extra. UK chq or Paypal + 4%. cheers, derek

Sweet Devil - fern kinney - atlantic 11643 refosoul

It seems like I've been here before - j j jackson - calla 11642 refosoul

At last - sylvia thomas - bamboo 11641 refosoul

Oh you sweet darling - the equations - all platinum 11640 refosoul

Thats the reason - buster benton - melloway 11638 refosoul rare local release before Twinight got their hands on it

Right if I've understood it properley I have to start off a new topic and then - because at the moment you can only add refoclips into a reply - I have to reply to myself so I can tag in a sound clip. All these are for sale: All are Ex. P&P extra. UK chq or Paypal with 4%. Buster Benton "Thats the reason" (Melloway) serious deep soul indeed, rare local release before Twinight picked it up. Flip "Hole in my head" is RnB. £25 Reduced down to £20 The Equations "Oh you sweet darling" (All Platinum) nice ballad with just enough movement to keep it interesting. Quite a hard number, same group who also cut for Dakar. £20 SOLD Sylvia Thomas "At last" (Bamboo) Catchy midpace finger snapper as Roger would say. Unusuakl plain green design and the opening shot on this label more famous for the Voicemasters releases. £20 SOLD JJ Jackson "It seems like I've been here before" (Calla) double sided demo. Overlooked yet dramatic big voiced beat ballad jobbie. £15 Fern Kinney "Sweet devil" (Atlantic) WDJ. Quirky yet very distinctive dancer rumoured to have been played covered up a few years ago. Ms Kinney along with Dorothy Moore was previously in the Poppies ("Pain in my heart") on Epic. This was her first solo 45 released 27 March 1968 so the date stamp reckons. The flip "Your love's not reliable" features on several southern soul CDs but strangely it does nothing for my ears. £20. SOLD Offers considered if it aint sold. PM or email D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk cheers, derek

Don't be ashamed to cry - lil willie west - frisco 11632 refosoul here's this rather saucy little number from the city they call New Orleans. It's mean it's moody, it's big and it's bold. Some might say it's an awesome example of a sixties beat ballad. Whatever I just love those drum rolls. onwards, derek yes/no? hit or miss? What do ya think? I suspect it's the same geezer who cut for Deesu etc, probably his first release hence the lil prefix - I knew I should've been in the police force.....

DP replies cautiously I think I've got the hang of this mp3 lark now and I've dipped my preverbial in the water by uploading RG & MB. Will attempt to post up a clip of "Don't be ashamed to cry" later this evening. Quite an accurate description of it there mister sunnysoul.... cheers, derek

Don't leave me - maxine brown - epic album 11572 refosoul

Don't leave me baby - ray gant - jay walking 11570 refosoul released as a 45 whereas Maxine Brown's version on Epic is album only

great pics Mel thanks for posting them - interesting to note good ol' Patience Valentine she of Sar fame was in the Flares. cheers, derek

I remember Mike buying and selling records from the Bradford Queens Hall all-nighters late 80s/early 90s period (I think). Great lad - pretty certain he offered me a John & The Weirdest on Tie for £90 and I coughed. Wanted a copy but couldn't afford that. Hey it's only vinyl..... derek

thought it looked like Dave Rimmer and John Weston on the right of the picture and when I heard the voice talking about the Miracles it confirmed it was JW. Bloody hell Brian Goucher with a moustache talking about Betty Everett. Top clip will watch it fully through later - well done to the man that posted it up! onwards, derek a mad guess - but was it filmed at the Pirate Radio station in the Birmingham area that those lads guested on? The year 1992 would fit in with that nicely. Revised edit - looks like Dave Rimmer and I were replying at the same time hehe

have got a copy Tone and if I remember and have time tonight when I get in from Asda I'll scan and post it up. cheers, derek

Always quite liked World Column's "So is the sun" in a mental sorta late 70s all-nighter kinda style but never liked it that much to actually purchase a copy. Then I reads that the flip side of this tune is regarded as a deep soul classic. Mmm now I am intrigued/curious etc etc - anybody got an opinion or can anybody post up an mp3 please? derek
