I'd LOVE to see the two unissued Other Brothers tunes from the Modern/Kent archives to be put out on a 45, "Nobody But Me" and "I Got Love". "Nobody But Me" is a storming uptempo dancer and should appeal to both the northern and (especially) funk crowds. "I Got Love" is lovely mid-tempo. Really, these are two fantastic tracks. Eddie & Ernie's "Bullets Don't Have Eyes" would be nice as well. From the unissued Arock cuts, I could do with "Deep Down Inside" (unknown artist, pounding new breed r&b and same backing as King Coleman's "Salt & Pepper") Unissued GWP: "Ooh It Hurts Me" by Larry Banks perhaps?

That Chuck Bridges on Scoop is fantastic. Wouldn't mind a copy.

Inside Your Dreams - grace - kef 13218 refosoul Bit of a left-field rarity here which can't really be put in one category.

Quite interesting to note the similarities between Joe Hicks AGC label sides ("Don't It Make You Feel Funky", "Got To Be Free" and "Soul Meetin'") and Redbone's "Witch Queen Of New Orleans". Pat Vegas who later was a member of Redbone produced (and co-wrote some of) the AGC sides. The Pat & Lolly Vegas LP on Mercury does by the way include a handful or so of fine northern styled tracks.

Surely that's not the same tune. Joe Simon's is written by Allen Orange while the Motown cut is a Holland/Kendricks/Whitfield job. As for further Joe Simon: try "Travelin' Man", "Long Hot Summer" and "I Got A Whole Lot Of Lovin'" on Sound Stage 7 plus "Just Like Yesterday" on Irral/Dot if you haven't. Top uptempo stuff in the same style as "The Girl's Alright With Me".

We'll Go On - eon - scepter lp Nice to see this mentioned above. Such a superb tune! Pity it's LP-only though.

Flipside to "How's Your Love Life Baby" on Columbia 11140. Here's a scan:

Jackie Moore is also available on US Columbia. Issue copies only, I think. Got myself a copy some days ago.

45s delivered so far this year: Eddie Curtis - Those Foxes And Pussycats - JOSIE Jackie Moore - Do Ya Got What It Takes - COLUMBIA Cloud One - Disco Juice - P&P Emile Griffith - Goin Goin Gone - TRC Crown Four - Birth Of Playboy - LEE JOHN Richard Berry - Have Love Will Travel - FLIP Angela Davis - Love Bumpin' - FLAMING ARROW Ron Hall & The Muthafunkaz - The Way You Love Me - TSOD Brothers Of Soul - Hurry Don't Linger - BOO Enticers - Calling For Your Love - COTILLION Mickey Lee Lane - Hey Sah Lo Ney - SWAN Have another 15 or so coming in the next couple of days (I hope! ). Have been after a cheap copy of that Eddie Curtis 45 for quite some time now. Love it.

It should only have been £5-£6! If producing a run of 300 (or even less!), 45s costs no more than £2.50 per copy (tops!) to manufacture. That's quite a good profit if selling them for £6. Within no other genre of music does recent reissues (legal or not) cost as much as on the northern soul scene.

The local release is the most desirable format in my opinion, but in these cases where minor label US releases were picked up by major/bigger labels and released maybe a couple of months after the local release, then I consider both originals. But I think there's a world of difference between the Rosco Robinson example and the Four Voices situation where there is some 25 years between the first and second issues. All in my opinion ofcourse and everyone is entitled to spend their money as they wish etc.

Perhaps should've included an "in my opinion" in my previous post. In my opinion the gold Four Voices 45s shouldn't be considered valuable to someone who collects original 45s because it is NOT the original release.

It is never fair to pay a lot of money for a reissue (legal or not). A reissue is apart from its musical merits practically worthless for someone who collects original records. Why not just have the tunes on a CD and be satisfied with that?

Wow. That's about $50. Why anyone with access to the internet/google/eBay would pay over $15-$20 for a M- US copy of that 45 is beyond me.

Should be "Some Other Guy", I suppose. Superb club soul tune. Should be easy to sell at £30 or more. Have a listen: https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Richie_Barr...e_Other_Guy.ram

Just came to think about a 7" which seems to be very hard to find. Solid Solution's "Think about It Girl" on Silver Spoon. How about it?

Have you heard the original version by The Tempests on Smash (which also has got Hazel Martin on vocals)? That 45 should be £5 or less. Have a listen: https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Tempest..._Of_My_Life.ram

Probably just different pressing plants for the red label ones. The brown/gold-ish one has however got a different catalogue number (210) and features an ever so slightly different version of "Don't You Want A Man Like Me" (no synthesizer "strings" during the intro, different vocal take etc.). Plus it has got "Back Up Train" on the flipside, not "Hollywood".

"Invisible Wind" is the same track as recorded (in my opinion far superior and grittier) by Arnie Love & The Loveletts on one of their early 80s 12"s on TAP. Still wouldn't mind a copy of the female version. "Guilty" sounds great as well!

Now that's what I call a "proper" label discography! Lovely.

No. Not in the US at least.

I'm really intrigued by the Flaming Arrow label at the moment so wouldn't mind a complete set of those... Could throw in the complete Crow catalogue as well... Or failing that, why not Charay, another label with a seriously messed up discography that issued loads of good stuff in a variety of genres.

Has anyone got the 45 by The Notations on Sue for sale by any chance? Please PM me if so.
