Reminds me of Hoss and the Back Beat R&B room at Middleton.

What, Roosevelt Grier does a better version of Comin' Down? I'd love to hear that Keith.

i've just offered him $20 for it, I recommend that anyone else with an eBay account do the same - he's got to physically go on and decline them - maybe he'll get the message

I've got £100 in my Paypal account if anyone wants to part with a clean copy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0meOwyxdlY Got a UK demo of this in the piles of stuff.

£167 for Delilah? Is someone handing out free crack and drambuie shandys out where the bidders come from?

There's a dealer that does Allentown that definitely has quantity of this - but he's nuts and won't shift on his ridiculous price (higher than manships book but in dollars)

Written by Smokey Robinson in 1961 and recorded by the Miracles. 'Modern' version recorded by Supremes & Temptations in 1969.

I've had both and the jazzy drums on the later one relegated it to the sell pile. Gritty first version for me.

I've got a feeling that postage is included in the calculation for customs, so if someone sends you a record that's massively overpacked, the extra postage could tip you over the customs level even if the record is declared low value.

Plenty of solid £20+ records in there - Ray Scott is probably worth the best part of a ton on it's own - not sure which Charles Mintz it is but it could be a goodie - seems like a good collection builder at around $10 each.

I once turned up to DJ at a R&B Allnighter with my Modern and Crossover box... fortunately I had my R&B sales boxes with me.

try Roger Banks, he had a EX spare off me a while back, last time I looked in his sales boxes it was there..

looks like metal from a dub plate showing through at 5 o'clock on the picture.

No.

Got a Keen EP and a couple of LPS here - not cheap, but reliable and trustworthy.... https://www.timessquarerecords.com/index4.htm

That's the feller - DJed at a few of our nighters at Sheridans.

There was another copy out there - Malc Wolesely (? not sure on spelling) from Blackpool used to play it off an acetate.

I think the 'rarity' (or really the perceived rarity) of Jamaican singles has a lot to do with where you live. Sheffield had/has a relatively small West Indian population so any early 45s (Blue beat, Black Swan etc) are thin on the ground, so would be considered rare by local standards - whereas if you lived in areas neighbouring Birmingham / London / Bristol many of those labels could be considered commonplace.

Vogue issue is from the mid to late 70s - the same time as the UK Route issue.

Good on yer.

Stono will be a mono recording that's been reprocessed to play in Stereo - not true Stereo.

which label?

Sound Gems is a boot. Rarer than the legit issue as a shedload of originals were imported at around the same time.

Nothing listed here: https://www.jazzdisco.org/savoy-records/discography-1956/ but it's safe to assume it was one of the other musicians.
