Let me know what you got!! TIA

Surely your stock is insured?

I think the person to ask would be Ian Dewhsrt....Ian

I got £100 for an orange Breakthrough a couple of years ago, but that was a fluke I believe.

Had the Roger Bailey for years it's only really for Audio Forty completists. Compulsions is same label as Brice Coefield etc. I Can't Find Love also done by Soul Aggregation on Capitol.

Del-Larks came off Brad from Colne.

I've had more green ones than blue 6/1

Madame JoJo's doesn't have any membership on these nights, and on the night in question I doubt there would be many from the scene there.

Unfortunately Soho at 3 in the morning is full of opportunistic scum-bags, you could try the local council, to see if anything has been handed in, when I worked around there things were always being dumped at our firm, long-shot, but worth a try. Several years back I had a box stolen from me lat the 100 club I had my back turned for 5 minutes, so I've every sympathy.

Thanks for being so open Robb, as most keep that stuff to themselves (guilty!). To get some kind of US perspective is great as for most of us over here still have this idea of this music being released into a kind of vacuum, laving dormant until being found by us. So please more stories..what was the promotion like in record stores like, were the records just put out, or was there a concerted strategy? Regards, Tony

The idea sounds shocking!

Are you sure it's on Hi?

Absolutely certain that is not the case.

1985/86?

Rod Shards baby (Modernsoulsucks), I'm sure he can fill you in with details, Guy played it off a dub from him, as Shirley Matthews & the Belles

Agreed great sound both sides.

Herman Hitson also did a version of this, quite a popular song it would appear?

Yes "Ain't that news" is styrene.

Vinyl, don't think it's be re-issued or booted?

Okay Pete, then it was a different copy to the one I saw/held back in 1990 after I'd thought I got a nice unknown, only to be shown a vinyl copy (along with the Softiques also on Sheldon). I didn't know Mick had it and Mick didn't know I had it, until one night in Valencia I played it at that point the only know copies......

It is Orthea Barnes, it is available on the new Dave Hamilton CD on Kent 356 (Dave Hamilton's Detroit Soul) and it is a corker! By the way the Shelton pic is a vinyl test press, there are a couple knocking about, I have it on an International acetate, different version the CD one.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before.......Butch had this c/u years back...played tongue in cheek, Pete Lawson loved it!

I'm afraid not Chalks, I sold the pair of them at Cleethorpes a couple of years back, but the ztsp matrix numbers are consecutive.

He must've been there a very short time as the both records were pressed at the same time (if the matrix details are anything to go by!)

Thanks for the vote, unfortunately I'm away pitching a tent that weekend!
