I don't "get" the dancefloor appeal of that "Fear Not" tune. The rhythm is seriously "off", the drums are buried way down deep in the mix and it has got a very wishy-washy sound quality in my opinion. It's not a bad tune, just saying that it's very much a living room tune in my opinion and everytime I've heard it played in a club setting (at least 10+ times) it has pretty much emptied the floor.

Flip that Nick Allen record over for a slightly unusual (and re-titled!) version of Lee Moses LP-only cut "What You Don't Want Me To Be".

I agree. The Cre-Shendos version might be rare, but it sounds extremely weak compared to the Nate Holmes version in my opinion.

If you haven't already read it, here's a good article on Jackie Opel with some nice sound clips: https://www.sirshambling.com/articles/jackie_opel.htm

Yes, the one above sold on eBay back in august 2004 for $710.

It sold for £26 the other night on eBay, but it'll most likely be down to its usual £10-£15 soon.

Not true. Have you ever TRIED finding a copy of "Your Number 1". An original copy that is, not the 70s styrene reissue. I have in the past easily sold "Your Number 1" for £100 and that's cheap in my opinion. I know people who have sold it for £150+. It's very hard to find, and superb as well. There has only been one copy (demo) on eBay during the last year. The year before that, there was also only one copy (demo).

This is quite hard: Demos are also rare, but issues are extremely seldom seen.

And when you've supplied Mike with a copy, and might have another spare: I need a copy as well if anyone's selling.

OK... Are you implying that my scan of the Gwenn Douglass acetate is a fake?

A bit off-topic, but I noticed that another acetate also was posted... here's the original Bell Sound Studios acetate for Gwenn Douglass "The Picture" on Michelle. Might be of interest to some.

Amazing. I've sold it for £40 in the past (and could've sold 5 copies!). Make a post on the funk forum and I'm sure someone will pick it up. That Astors 45 on your list is also superb and a givaway at £20. Have a listen: https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/sounds/esmil....RE_POWER_TO_YOU

Bad scans, but here you go:

Two superb sides on this one and decently priced. Have a listen: https://www.shingaling.com/Camille%20Bob%20...0Get%20Away.mp3 https://www.shingaling.com/Camille%20Bob%20...Up%20Crying.mp3
