I'm doing research and keep finding new ones so here's my "wants" list if anyone can help with this project. I need to hear them and in some cases see scans of the labels. If there are any other odd ones I may have missed, feel free to run them by me to see if I've already snagged them. Thanks in advance Ady Prentice Moreland Lover Supreme Challenge Cry Baby Curtis on Romark Jimmy Preacher Ellis I Can't Work And Watch You Romark or Kris Obe Jesse Who's The Blame Romark or Stone Dogg Ducky Drake 1992 Trend Valaquans Diddy Bop RAY-CO 516 Adolph Jacobs on Romark Francettes Won't Somebody Want Me / Anything Baby Kentone 101 Rudy Martin Love Must Go On Roach Lance Rentzel Lookin' Like Somethin That Ain't Columbia

I think the sleeve used some poetic license.

No Ann didn't do I Got To Have You at Cleethorpes, it was considered too funky for the crowd at the time. It's meant to be the forerunner of One Way Street that came out on Ric Tic, heavily overdubbed. There's also a basic version of One Way Street on one of the CDs. The LP was of course fictitious (until Timmion released it). It's extremely doubtful that Dave would have raised enough money to issue an LP, he struggled hard enough to get 45s out.

Don't think so, it was written about Dave Hamilton according to Ann.

Soz, I was away for a day. It was the issue which'll look prettier in the booklet. Thanks to all, Dave sorted me Ady

You'll be getting a CBE for services to black music soon Paul. Thanks very much Ady

Can anyone send me a scan of the flip of the issue please? It's 'The Real Thing'. Ady

Thanks, not gonna be a cheapy then. I had no idea that was the real title. If anyone's got a better scan I'd like to see it please. Ady

I spouted my bit for them and I've recommended a couple of our fine, considerably younger dancers to the producer who's a very decent lady; hopefully it'll come out decent in the end.

That's the one, their OC Tolbert looks good too.

Thanks Bob, I must have missed it, I searched on Friday for it and today and couldn't find it.

The Kent vinyl 45 is the only single, it's on a Finnish Timmion label LP now too

Is You've Got the Power La Louisianne 8079 a cheapy?

Dave's possessions ended up scattered all over the place, I've ended up with a few bits by accident. I can't remember what happened to his other papers.

I Can't Work And Watch You/Tough Competition need a loan of the record for Kent Harris please. CDs in return but would need VG+ condition. Ta Ady

Very sad news. 'Sweetest One' was Pied Piper's biggest commercial success.

What a brilliant dancer, she's so relaxed about it, like she doesn't know or care how good she is. Obviously enjoying herself immensely; ten outta ten..

Thanks and cheers for supplying me with the equally hard 118, I like a little Elton John at times!

Still after this people. I got the later 118 release but need Work It Out / Children Of Georgia please. Ady

Thanks Bob, and it's very much a Romark styled label, same colour too. It's the only release I know of on the label. Presumably nobody knows anything about the group? Still after hearing or seeing Prentice Moreland on Challenge. Ady

Don't worry about him

Thanks Bob, that's a lovely record, could you send me MP3s and scans of the Glo-Rae sides if you have time please. Thanks Ady

Not in the year but in the rarity, our Ace colleague Peter Gibbon bought Leroy Taylor and Jimmy Armstrong as new releases on Shrine in 1965. He was probably buying direct well before that too. He's on the forum but far too modest to mention it!

Anyone got scans or sound files? Ta Ady

Panic over people; there's nothing to see here
