Ian, seeing as you don't have any aversions against stuff like Maroon 5 etc., have you heard Jamie Lidell's "Another Day" from a couple of months ago? It has got a pretty hideous promo video (try to ignore it), but there's a decent tune in there in my opinion:

Can't tell you much about it, but the pink label Pameline release is definitely the rarest release for this tune.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm glad you're enjoying the mix! Here are the label scans for this mix for those of us with a fetish for that kind of stuff...

How do you know that he was being honest? Are you sure that he only found two copies? Perhaps he found five? Or ten? Or even more. But is sitting on them, dripping one onto the market every 4/5 or so years to keep the price high. I don't want to imply that he did/does this or wasn't/isn't honest or anything like that, I'm just using it as an example that you can never be 100% sure about these things. But you seem to have chosen to believe Manship's word and not to believe Brad's (the guy who is selling the Lester Tipton).

Yes, the original release is from 1982. Fantastic tune!

Are you hearing the correct clip?

Not £1000 each! They usually sell on eBay for: cody black: £200-£250 johnny summers: £100-£150 del chontays: £100-£150

Only about 3-4 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking! :-)

About 24 hours left on these auctions now.

I really like the version of this by The Sapphires on US Swan.

Thanks for your comments, I'm glad you like the mix. Just wanted to clarify that I'm not from the Oslo Soul crew (they are great guys though, and I really like their mixes as well ). I run the Club Function nights in Malmoe, Sweden together with fellow SoulSourcer Helena plus my friends Jonte and Joppe. Check this out for more info: https://www.myspace.com/clubfunction [in english!] https://www.clubfunction.com [in swedish!]

You do know that it's not the same Parliaments group as on Revilot (etc.), right?

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Val!

Yes, I think you're right! There are very, very few long 12" versions that I prefer over concise 7" versions.

Every now and then I put together an MP3-mix of sounds I like a lot at the moment and play at Club Function, a club night which I organize once per month together with my friends Helena, Jonte and Joppe in my hometown of Malmo, Sweden. Below you will find my sixth and latest mix.

Charay 89 was released at least 3 times, maybe even 4 (or more!). I've seen these three for sale on eBay and on sales lists: CHARAY 89 - Men From Macon - Soul Of A Man / East Of Eden CHARAY 89 - Men From Macon - Soul Of A Man / Fire Lighter CHARAY 89 - Men From Macon - Soul Of A Man (vocal) / Soul Of A Man (instrumental) I have only seen the following variation in a label listing and not "in the flesh", so don't know if it exists: CHARAY 89 - Men From Macon - Soul Of A Man / Salvation Such a mess of a discography! But it is possible to date (to some extent at least) the time of release for the different variations, as for example the "Fire Lighter" issue has got the 3032 Santa Fe Trail address and the later "Soul Of A Man" vocal/instr issue has got the PO Box 11152 address. It seems like they changed to the PO Box address during 1969 (for all Major Bill Smith label - Charay, Soft, LeCam etc.).

OK... Wasn't criticizing, was just sad that I couldn't watch it. Can any of you UK viewers grab the URL to the actual video (flv?) file?

I tried to watch the stream of this programme here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00dlp2k/ But apparently can only be seen by people based in the UK.

A great tune in my opinion and one of Eldridge's rarest 45s.

Jason's site is superb! And on that same "regional discographies" tip, these sites are also great: https://www.dcsoulrecordings.com/ https://www.midwest45s.org/ https://newyorksoulrecordings.com/ https://www.texassoulrecordings.com/

Yes, better be safe than sorry! By the way, has anyone heard the ballad flipside ("Loving You") on the "I Know I'm In Love With You" 45? I just heard it and the guy can't sing in tune to save his life! Hear it here: https://www.indiana45s.com/mp3/georgebyrda.mp3

I have no idea actually. Will amend my post above to "second issue" to keep myself out of trouble. The silver label issue should in any case not be of interest to someone chasing the original release.
