Skip Jackson/Shantons - I'm On To You Girl (Dot-Mar) EX (lite surface marks DNAP) £150 Reluctant sale of this gem...surely needs playing out. Price may be a 'tad' high...tricky to find for sale these days though...and I'd hate to see it go. Arthur Freeman - Played Out Play Girl (Excello) M- £25 Considerably cheaper than the first issue Falcons - (I'm A Fool) I Must Love You (Big Wheel) M- £40 Still sounds like the great swaggering 'safari-horns 'n all' goodie even after a few plays...very near mint as well. Jackie Wilson - Because Of You (Brunswick) EX- £75 A libreal smattering of lite surface marks don't interfere with the goodness in the grooves. Y'all know this one. Flip is Go Away...it's the original issue of course. Marcelle Joseph - Long Distance Love Affair (DSR) M- £70 Killer off-the-wall modern with an intro dreamt up by someone who must have just bought a new sound effects toy. used to be dead cheap, getting picked up on again now. R. Tenard - You Made Me Cry (Fa-Bo-lus) M- £75 You'll either love it or hate it...almost a cross between Northern and R&B with dollops of 'innocence' about it. Personally I love it but it's being offered to make way for something else so it's up for grabs. Voice Masters - Never Gonna Leave You (Bamboo w/l demo) M- £70 The bollocks IMO - shoudl sit comfotably next to your Frederick Hymes type sounds. No cue burn or anything else nasty about this...was sitting in a collection virtually unplayed for 15 odd years. Brewster Crew - I'm One Who Know (Lifeline) M- £80 Championed a while back and then slipped away...the record that preceeds The Innersection like a hand preceeds a glove. Sort of. Beloyd - Get Into Your Life (20th Century : promo) M- £75 Perennial modern fave in near flawless condition. Once you've runined one side, flip it over and start on the other.

Jordi The originals don't have the engineer's name (Fred 'somebody' I think) under the artist's name on the label. The copies on gemm are (I believe) represses from some time last year courtesy of Elijah Cole, the owner of Rock-Way. I received (several) emails last year from firstly Felicia and then Elijah which started almost cryptically and then descended into ultra weirdness. The net result was that they established amongst themselves that having seen a copy of the original on a Dutch website (ironically from a seller that most likely didn't have the f**king thing) that someone was making cash they probably felt was due to them. So, this weird and intriguing story evolved about how all the copies that existed prior to their repress of last year were boots instigated sometime in the mid 70's by....EMI! Cole went on to insist that the originals (the ones he'd repressed - he admitted to repressing them in a thread on the now defunct deep funk board -) were the 'represses' (confused?) and that to authenticate their 'originality' he had specially singed them for 'all the fans of Mixed Emotions' out there. Cue moping of brow, a bow taken and then a hasty exit stage-right. By the sounds of it, he'd also contacted several UK dealers to try out his story on them. The exchange between the two of us lasted about nine emails and then he vanished....and then the signed copies-with-engineer's-name appeared. I tried to convince him that it was never a massive track and that maybe he should just issue the record and sell them at $10...that way he'd sell loads (especially as it seems to have - ironically - taken off) He wasn't listening. My scanner's up the tubes at the moment or else I'd display the original here. Your best bet is to email the dudes on gemm and ask them when the copies they have were pressed...and then tell them to stuff their $119 and offer them $10. JBrew
