Anyone else?

I've got a Shady Brook 45s listing here somewhere. I'll post it up when I've found it. That Cheyenne tune is LP-only.

A gentle BUMP for these two records in case you missed them yesterday evening.

Hello. Two set sale 45s up for grabs here. PM me or e-mail to: sebastian [at] shingaling [dot] com Airmail shipping is included in the prices. Payment via PayPal. JACKIE SHANE - Stand Up Straight And Tall - MODERN (w/d) - EX+ - £300 SOLD! "Stand Up Straight And Tall" was pretty much unknown up until Ady Croasdell included it on the first "New Breed R&B" CD. Extremely few copies have turned up since then and demand for it is high. Here you have it on a nice white demo copy in stunning EX+ condition (apart from the writing on the "You Are My Sunshine" label). The b-side is decent as well. An awfully rare 45. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO "Stand Up Straight And Tall" CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO "You Are My Sunshine" LEE SHOT WILLIAMS - It Ain't Me No More - MT - M- - £50 The original and rare MT label release for the updated version of this classy dancer. The flipside is intrumental. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO "It Ain't Me No More"

The flipside is great as well.

Thanks for the info, but would prefer an original jamaican copy or the UK Duke issue. Anyone got a copy for sale? That Boris Gardiner track is a real fave of mine and I'd like to track down the 45 and knowing the label would make it easier, so if it's not too much trouble for you Tony... I'd really appreciate it!

SUPERB! Thanks for the info, Tony! Do you perhaps also know the original Jamaican or UK label release for Boris Gardiner's "I'm Alone"?

Might as well ask this while I've got both of you here... I've wanted to find out one thing for years and this talk about Dave Barker got me thinking about it again... I've got a tune on an old tape credited to Dave Barker and the title is "I Got To Get Away", it consists of him DJing over a rather fine tune. It's the tune in the background I want to find out what it is, the lyrics to the tune in the background starts off with "there's a man that lives next door, in my neighbourhood, in my neighbourhood, he get's me down". It's probably some well known tune, but my rocksteady knowledge isn't what it could be so... If anyone of you could help me out here I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Realised just a couple of months ago that Jim (Jimmy) Webb's original version on Epic is decent as well. Has got more of a rough edge compared to Shane Martin.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm glad you enjoy the sounds. Will try to post up some label scans for these mixes soon if I find the time to do it.

Yes, Arthur did record "Burning Love" prior to Elvis, and there's a nice version of Linde's "Call Me Honey" on that LP as well. I know that Dennis was a prolific country songwriter and has written hundreds of songs, but I'm primarily interested in his 60s and early to mid 70s material that was recorded by soul artists. Obrey Wilson recorded his "X Marks The Spot" on Mercury for example. Would be great to have his BMI entry sorted by "date of registration". Tony, it would be really nice if you could send me a list of titles in case you have one. Does Ace own the rights to any Linde-penned songs recorded by artists other than Linde himself? I assume you can search the Ace files by songwriter? Any info would be great! Thanks in advance.

Shall I take that as a "no" then?

OK, thanks for the info. He gave it his all I've got to say.

Both are from 1976.

And, actually, a pretty decent version of Tina Charles "I Love To Love" on the flipside! Who recorded it first? Al or Tina?

The let's-celebrate-Elvis-Presley-thread and the mention of "Burning Love" once again got me thinking about the songwriter of that tune, Dennis Linde, and the songs he's written that has been recorded by soul artists. I've been thinking about compiling a list of Dennis Linde tunes recorded by soul artists, or indeed by artists in any genres, but before I get started it would be nice to know if such a list already exists? Does anyone of you know?

I persoally need 192kbps at LEAST to get anywhere near "good" sound quality. Crank up the volume on a 128kbps file and it sounds terrible especially at the high-end. I definitely agree with that. I usually use much less kbps (64-96) and mono sound files for my portable MP3 or mobile phone. But... Why be satisfied with that it sounds good in the car? Or your mobile phone? Cassettes sounds utter crap as well, and I've hapily used them during my entire life, but I would never ever buy a pre-recorded one. It's simply just not good enough and the same goes for MP3s.

I will not ever pay money for a digital soundfile unless it's supplied to me in file format encoded with a lossless audio codec. Uncompressed WAV is the way to go in my opinion. The world just needs cheaper and higher capacity hard drives and faster internet connections. I'm convinced that we'll get there eventually.

Both versions have sub-par vocals in my opinion, but I simply can't stand Virgil Henry's vocal style so if I have to choose I'd definitely go for Cookie Woodson.

Back in February I guest-DJed at the Function Soul Club here in my hometown of Malmoe, Sweden and in conjunction with that I put together an 80-minute MP3-mix of sounds that I liked a lot at that moment. On saturday the 25th of August I will guest-DJ at Function again and after that I'll become a resident DJ at the club and will help my friends Helena, Jonte and Joppe to organise the events. So I thought it was time for me to put together a new 80-minute MP3-mix for you to listen to. :-) You can download the NEW mix on the following link: https://www.shingaling.com/SebastiansFunctionMix20070814.mp3 SEBASTIAN'S FUNCTION MIX - AUGUST 2007 Chain Reaction - Dance Freak (re-edit) - SOUND OF NEW YORK, USA (12") 400 Years Of What - Get Down People - COUNTERPART Jamie Ross - Try My Love - CAT Continental Showstoppers - Not Too Young - SEVENTY SEVEN Brief Encounter - What About Love - CAPITOL Music Makers - Rock That Stuff - DASH Cheyenne - Come Back To Me - SHADY BROOK (LP) Jimmy Chambers - Doin' Alright - CUBE Falcons - Good Good Feeling - BIG WHEEL King Earnest - You Gonna Miss Me - SONIC Fredrick Knight - Steppin Down - MAXINE Temprees - I'll Live Her Life - WE PRODUCE Barbara & Gwen - Right On - NEW CHICAGO SOUND Sun - Just A Minute Of Your Time - CAPITOL Las Vegas Connection - Running Back To You - HEP' ME Charles Pryor - What They Doin' (Funky Junkie) - DOUBLE 07 Brenda George - I Can't Stand It (I Can't Take It No More) - KENT Turnpikes - Cast A Spell - CAPITOL Charles Spurling - Let Me Be (A Steppin' Soul) - KING Saxie Russell - El Monkey - RAN-DEE Rhonda Davis - Can You Remember - DUKE Bliss - Groovin' (On A Love Song) - CITY VIEW Allan Harris & Perpetual Motion - Get Ready - EXACT CHANGE Fantastic Aleems - Hooked On Your Love - PANORAMA Southroad Connection - You Like It, We Love It - MAHOGANY Evans Pyramid - Never Gonna Leave You - FUNK (12") My OLD mix from February, which many of you probably already have heard, is still available and can be downloaded on the following link: https://www.shingaling.com/SebastiansFunctionMix20070223.mp3 SEBASTIAN'S FUNCTION MIX - FEBRUARY 2007 Arnie Love & The Loveletts - We Had Enough - TAP (12") Little Beaver - Listen To My Heartbeat - CAT Prince Johnny Robinson - That Girl Is Rated X - ANDEE Cojo - Play It By Ear - DESTINY Bob Williams - I'm Alright - NAD-LYN Ray Barretto - Together - FANIA Odyssey - Battened Ships - MOWEST (LP) Skip Jackson And The Shantons - I'm On To You Girl - DOT-MAR Sandra Phillips - Words - ASSOCIATED acetate (unissued) Angela Davis - My Love (Is So Strong) - FLAMING ARROW Swan Silvertones - If You Believe Your God Is Dead - HOB IS GOSPEL Billy Nichols - Shake A Leg - SUE Plair - Brother Man On The Corner - TARSAN Christian Plicque - Hot Foxy Woman - LECAM Vance And Suzzanne - I Can't Get Along Without You - VANTON (12") Larry McGee Revolution - The Burg - BOOGIE BAND Cappy & Stonewall - Bad News - LOVE CAPP Eastside Connection - Over Please - RAMPART Cecil Lyde - I'll Make It On My Own - ALWEST J.G.

I'm really looking forward to the Larry Banks Family one. I've mentioned it before and I'll say it again: the amount of musically high-quality CDs being released at the moment (and over the past year or so) is staggering. And they are just getting better and better and more interesting. Top stuff being released practically every month!

Nice to see that this sold so quick. And rightly so as it's not a 45 you see often for sale. I remember that I used to love this but don't think I've heard it for at least 4-5 years. Have to go dig out my copy. Nice piece of pounding garage-rock-meets-soul.

There is a "correct" tune by Tommy Andre called "One More Try". The "Hold Back The Tears" track is included on some of the WDJ copies of Tommy Andre's "One More Try". Both 45s has got the same instrumental tune on the b-side. Check the following out where we discussed this 45 at length: /index.php?showtopic=47065 It might very well be Don Gardner, and it does sound like him, but I'm not taking it for granted. I've checked out the following 50s/60s releases, but neither of them is the "mispressed Tommy Andre" tune: Ward Singers - Hold Back The Tears - Savoy 4071 (1956) Delacardos - Hold Back The Tears - United Artists 310 (1961) Shockettes - Hold Back The Tears - Symbol 914 (1961) Little Milton - Can't Hold Back The Tears - Checker 1105 (1965) I first thought that it could be the Shockettes tune, as it was released on Symbol which was affiliated with Broadway, but it isn't.
