Thanks for listening, Val. I'm glad you liked the mix.

Not much. A copy on eBay ended without bids at $19.99 about a week ago. I managed to sell my copy for $34 on eBay 2 years ago, but that was before Kent put out their Spencer Wiggins set and the demand for the japanese CD seems to have disappeared after that.

I see what you mean, and apparently written by Pam Sawyer and Lori Burton. Didn't know that earlier. Just did some research and noticed that the exact same recording of "One Sweet Kiss" as on the Hopefuls 45 is included as a "previously unissued" track on a Candy & The Kisses CD compilation called "Do The 81 & Other Soul Classics". I haven't heard the flipside of the CARDINAL 45, but it's called "Stand By And Cry" and apparently both Betty Turner (on LIBERTY) and Jan Panter (on CBS UK) recorded versions of that tune.

It's "One Sweet Kiss" by The Hopefuls on CARDINAL. It was comped on one of those "Girls Girls Girls" CDs from MARGINAL. Have only ever seen it on that Belgium label.

Was issued by KENT on a 7" about 5 years ago. Unissued/CD-only otherwise. It has got Bill Brandon "Streets Got My Lady" on the flipside. Manship has got copies at £8 each: https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/76490/EDWAR...w__BILL_BRANDON I personally prefer America's original version...

It is legit. Have a strong feeling it was reissued because the owner of the label wanted to spread the music and not because it was in-demand. Great tune, just a pity that the drummer is a bit out of it during one of the breaks...

No, the demos with "Wounded Woman" on both sides usually sell for £30-£40 or less. 3 copies of the issue with "Midnight Affair" on them have sold on eBay during the past week for $139, $162 and $225. That's between £100-£165. Here are the label variations of "Midnight Affair" that I know of: WHITE LOGO styrene: WHITE LOGO vinyl: BLACK LOGO vinyl:

There are at least 3 different label designs for this 45 (I've seen one on styrene and two on vinyl), but most likely it's just a case of different pressing plants being used in different parts of the US at the same time. Might be worth mentioning that the Sandra Wright LP on DEMON that was issued in the 80s features a different version of "Midnight Affair" with an alternative vocal take. There's no mention of this in the sleeve notes though if I remember correctly.

I don't think "Guess I Must Be Dreaming" was issued on GNP. His last 45 on GNP is from 1965 and the INDEPENDENCE release is from 1967. Here is the discography I have: Delaney Bramlett - Heartbreak Hotel / You Never Looked Sweeter - GNP CRESCENDO 328 Delaney Bramlett - Liverpool Lou / You Have No Choice - GNP CRESCENDO 339 Delaney Bramlett - Without Your Love / Better Man Than Me - GNP CRESCENDO 363 Delaney Bramlett - Guess I Must Be Dreaming / Don't Let It - INDEPENDENCE 76

It might be Delaney Bramlett. I know that he had a 1967 release on the INDEPENDENCE label called "Guess I Must Be Dreaming". I've never heard that one though, only seen it in discographies, but might be worth investigating.

Only about 4 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking! :-)

I bloody love that tune! Have to go dig it out because I haven't heard it for years! It was one of the first 25 or so key tunes that got me interested in exploring the world of northern soul in the first place!

It's on 7th of February, I hope?

"Summer In The Parks" is probably the choppiest and most changey record that I've ever heard played on the northern soul scene. It's got a very messed up song structure and is heavily syncopated. The reason you don't think of it as an out-and-out funk tune is probably because you know it so well and that it's been a part of the northern soul pantheon for such a long time.

There's about 2 days left on these auctions.

Good price for the Sonny Munro issue! Usually sells for more in my experience.

I guess he's on about this:
