Might have a UK demo of this - Love Vibrations is the A-side? Used to have one...

Maybe they just wrote the track and the Realistics recorded it?

Before the Iranian revolution, Iran was quite a 'Westernised' country and pressed up loads of pop EPs, many of which contained Motown tracks. Would love a full list of what got pressed up over there.

Tehran, Tripoli and Damascus. Marving Gaye Iranian EPs anyone?

Not as far as I'm aware - tis/was always quite cheap, but it's gained some plays recently so that could have all changed.

At a guess it would be Dont Forget The Motor City?

A perfect example of why current auctions shouldn't be hi-lighted on Soul source threads (Unless it's an obvious boot being passed off as an original.). I was watching the Natural Four hoping to bag a bargain, but there's feck all chance of that happening now. Cheers.

I've got the 45 and it sounds great... would like to hear the album cut to compare..

Simsy, You might want to rethink your avatar and the comment below it - it looks like your pimping her...

I know this - but I haven't the foggiest where from. Got me going now Ken.

£25 is about right. It is a recent press when all said and done - mid 90s?

Tina Florence is dirt cheap.

it is shit tho....(IMO)

Think I've got this on a 12" in amongst the piles...

Definately got played in the early 90s as I bought a Charly LP by Cissy Houston just for the track, since I couldn't locate a 45 at the time. The LP came from Hitsville Records, Rockingham Street, Sheffield - who closed down in the mid-90s?

Sounds feasible since she was often used as a session singer.

In what way is it a 'saving'? What do you have to show for your cash but a load of CDRs full of poor/compressed recordings? The main people on the thread commenting are those who have been involved in the release of CDs via the regular route. Personally I couldn't give a toss if a 45 I own on original is put out on an official CD - and good luck to anyone who buys them. I.M.O you are comparing different formats to excuse you being a 'handler of stolen goods'/'thief' (of intellectual rather than physical property - but a thief never-the-less).

You're right Chalky. Just checked the scans and they are slightly different. What's the odds of picking up two equally fcuked rare 45?

Try Des Parker, this is the kind of 45 he turns up cheap.

Good luck with the Betty Everett - I've been after one for the last 5 years without a sniff.

Its the same copy that was sold earlier in the month - read the description and listen to the sound file. Obviously the bidder has either pulled out on the sale or sent it back.

Your ears must be painted on - it's muck.

Doesn't count - he's 40+

£1K? Fcuking joker.

Came out on 45 with a nice piccy sleeve in Europe (France or Holland - can't remember which)
