Nearly fell off my chair a couple of times when I was in Barcelona some months ago as I heard quite a lot of "accidental" soul. Off the top of my head, I heard Dorando's "Didn't I" in the background while eating tapas at some random restaurant and then while drinking some mojitos at some random bar I heard Silvetti's "Spring Rain" blasting in the background... Was a bit surprised.

If I haven't made it before then, I'm definitely coming at that date!!!

Is this a version of the Derek Martin tune on Roulette? Or is it Derek Martin? I remember that you once had an auction for an acetate of Derek Martin's "Breakaway" on Roulette described as an "unissued Invitations tune" but then took it down. Did this acetate(?) come form the same source? Very interesting if it is an unissued Howard Tate tune, from which period is it?

I have this on an Italian Tamla Motown 45 which has got "(I Could Never Make) A Better Man Than You" on the flipside instead which seems to otherwise be LP-only. Basically it's the backing track to the Sisters Love tune with the same name which can be found on the flipside to "Give Me Your Love" on MOWEST. An absolute stormer!

7" only as far as I know. I searched long and hard for the 1932 mix and then all of a sudden, 5 copies turned up in less than a month from different sources (not a "find", they just suddenly appeared, in conditions ranging from VG- to EX+). Now I only see the "common" mix 7"s being for sale. Don't think a lot of people think about it so you'll probably be able to get a copy on eBay for about the same price as the other one, but the 1932 one is a whole lot rarer.

So far that's only for the "media" listings on ebay.co.uk. Not on ebay.com. But I guess it's only a matter of time. Still, the market is huge and worth paying a bit to get access to. Maybe not 9% + 4% for PayPal fees... but... I don't know, time will tell.

LP-only as far as I know. Superb tune!

A bit "high energy" that, isn't it... Insanely fast and yes, I like it. Have got it on some euro CBS release with a picture sleeve. Paid about £0.08 for it last summer...

No. They are both superb.

Here's the CHARM CITY 1932 verison without the "boing boing" sound effects: Curtis - How Can I Tell Her - CHARM CITY 1932 10307 refosoul I'll upload the other one in a minute.

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated. Seems like they are made out of shellac because they all broke when I dropped them to the floor.

Thanks for the info! These three are from 1960/1961 or so, but seems to be very brittle. Do you know if the Wikipedia info applies worldwide? A lot of things about the brazilian record industry seems to be at ends with the rest of the world so you never know.

Heard this at a venue with a good sound system for the first time about two months ago. Sounded extremely messy as the drums are mixed way too low. Decent tune for the living room or for radio plays in my opinion.

Didn't really know where to put this question as it's slightly off-topic... I'm selling a couple of rare brazilian 78 RPMs on eBay at the moment by Chubby Checker and Elvis Presley and I just recieved a question about what material the discs are made of - vinyl or shellac... Does anyone of you know how to know for sure? I have limited knowledge about 78 RPMs and I honstely don't have a clue. Anyone?

Don't know the tune, but going by the title, could it be: Kevin "King" Lear - (You Got) The Power Of Love - PAGE ONE It does sound a bit "UK", if you know what I mean.

That Supremes LP sure is superb! "5'30 Plane"... what a PERFECT tune! GIVE IT TO ME!!! I love most of the Jimmy Webb tunes which Glen Campbell recorded. Glen's "Reunion" LP from the mid-70s, almost entirely produced and written by Jimmy, is great! Have you heard Jimmy's own version of "Mixed-Up Guy"? Sorry, I'm rambling, but I could go on...

Superb tune whichever version! I personally think the The Reflections sounds heavier/meatier and less teen/frat-band-ish. Here it is: 15866 refosoul

Space Lady - bill - dollar bill 16186 refosoul

The Burg - larry mcgee revolution - boogie band 16184 refosoul

Just realised that two of my favourite tunes are written by Larry McGee. Bill's "Space Lady" on DOLLAR BILL and also the Larry McGee Revolution's "The Burg" on BOOGIE BAND. Both labels are from Pittsburgh. Anything else out there that has got his name on it worth mentioning (apart from the other Larry McGee Revolution 45)?

It's No Good For Me - ben e. king - atco lp Top notch depressing stuff! LP-only.

It's Amazing - ben e. king - atco One of Ben's best recordings ever in my opinion.

Forgive This Fool - ben e. king - atco Another more uptempo one.

Where's The Girl - ben e. king - atco
