Can we guess what it is I wonder? I think it must be Little Ann - Lean Lanky Daddy on Kent Cheers Richard

The record sounded like a tailor made from the word go. Tailor made records stick out a mile to my ears. The production isn't authentic. They are made with modern technology which sounds different. The lyrics are often not right - words and phrases that would not have been used in black American music in the 60s or 70s. Plus the structure of the songs isvoften too obvious and cliched. Have always disliked Levine's stuff. Just look at the awful 'fake' drumming he dubbed onto all those tracks on the SWONS video. Cheers Richard

Similar to their other ones. Nothing to rave about. I have a copy and if I have done an MP3 I will let you know (P.S. I did and have sent you a PM with the MP3) Cheers Richard

The eBay one was a decent enough VG+ copy Kev. It's still there if you search completed items. Cheers Richard

"Sidra's Theme" is on #9007. "Blow Out The Candle" on the flip. Issue is red. Sidra #9006 was"Each Time" with the first release of "As Long As You Love Me (I'll Stay)" on the other side. This is the vocal to "Sidra's Theme". This was on a red issue. Rare. "As Long As You Love Me (I'll Stay)" was released later on #9011 with "Step Into My Heart" on the other side. This was the later label design with the blue/green and black design issues. Cheers Richard

What about this one? Too fast to dance to? Floor-clearer? LITTLE RODGER HATCHER - GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF (DEL-LA NORTHERN) OR TEN HIGH MISS-PRESS AS SHOWN

There was a Groovettes on eBay recently at the end of Jan - went for £550. Didn't Pat Brady auction one a while back also? Cheers Richard

On air now folks! KITCH IS THE SPECIAL GUEST LIVE IN THE STUDIO

Wednesday night - so it's the TNT soul show. KITCH IS THE SPECIAL GUEST LIVE IN THE STUDIO Tulip Radio - 7- 9pm. Two hours of fabulous soul music and decent banter www.tulip-radio.co.uk Or use the TuneIn app on your phone. Cheers Richard

Don't think so Mike - but "They Say I'm Afraid (Of Losing You)" from the LP is the same backing as Eddie Parker "Crying Clown" Cheers Richard

I guessed - but I think they all watch the same movie together at the same time online but are also networked on "face time" so they can communicate with each other in real time about the movie even though they are all in different places - kind of like a video conference watching a movie? Am I right? Cheers Richard

Thread is about Ann Perry and if it still gets played, if so where and who plays it etc. My original question has been answered thank you so I'm locking it Thank you everyone for your input and thank you to the Mods (presumably) for removing a couple of seriously off topic posts. Cheers Richard

The most widely held opinion among collectors and the most well-respected and reputable dealers is that the styrene issue with the Circa rosette is the true and authentic original. There are doubts about the Bell Sound copies. This has been done to death on here in the past I'm sure so suggest searching the forum rather than repeating here. Going back to the original question, sounds like it's not played out much these days, but when it is it's a popular play, apart from with those folk who are too old to keep up the pace ;-) :-o Cheers Richard

Have probably only seen a couple of the styrene copies with the Circa rosette in the past handful of years. The vinyl Bell Sound copy turns up more commonly - think the last one I saw was Tim Brown listed one not that long ago. Cheers Richard

I'm not sure what this would add to things - could be good, but I'm struggling to visualise how it would work in practice. If I'm selling a record I usually put full information plus scans/digital photos and soundfiles. This gives as much information as possible and is the next best thing to actually having the record in your hand. I'm not sure how watching a record going round on someone's turntable on your iPad or on Skype, with poor quality images and sound, is going to help see what a record looks like and plays at all. As a buyer, for pricey items I would still want decent quality scans and MP3 soundfiles from the record for sale which would give much more accurate information on the record condition - how it looks and sounds. I can see it would be helpful for people who want to do a "face-to-face" deal - especially those that want to try and negotiate down the price on set sale items. Just strikes me that you would still have to do everything else and that this would be an extra activity/step on top of what people already do. I'm willing to be convinced. Can someone do a demo maybe? Cheers Richard

Mine's an issue too David. Quite a bit rarer than the demo I reckon and a thing of beauty - even in the clashing company sleeve.

The other side is OK. Cheers Richard

You lot are such a tease Say what 'kin track and post it up with scans and you tubes etc

One of my all time favourite Northern classics - and a record that got me off Motown/Stax and into "proper Northern" as a teenager Does anyone play this out these days? If so, who and where? If not why not - it's top class Cheers Richard
