No wonder that Nelson Sanders 45 sold because that was one hell of a bargain price. Two superb sides.

Amesnia Records Back Up & Running On Ebay
Goldmine released it as one of their first Sevens 45s (with James Fountain's "Seven Day Lover" on the flip) back in the 90s and sold it for £5. It can still be had for that price. But from earlier comments made I suppose that was a bootleg...

New Kent 45s
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?

Pop Backing Tracks That Could Have Made It ?
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.

Joe Simon
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".

The Four Voices
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 Four Voices
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.
-
The Four Voices
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.
-
The Four Voices
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?
-
Who Knows This - values Please
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

Ultra Rare Modern
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?
