WOW! That was fast. It'll be interesting to see what it goes for.

It's extremely hard to find and copies just doesn't come up for sale. Based on rarity and quality alone I'd say £300+, but it's hard to estimate because it's almost completely unknown (so could sell very cheap) and no copies are being sold. "Funky Soul Dance" is indeed a screaming funk dancer, but the flipside "Never Do I Worry (About You)" is an agressive and frantic soul dancer.

Got my copy (plus 9 other 45s in a "lot") about 18 months ago on eBay for $20.50 including shipping. Who said that bargains can't be had on eBay anymore...? Anyway... on the topic of Curly Moore, today I finally got a copy of his "Soul Train" 45 on the Hotline label (not the Nola issue, which is a pretty tough one in its own right). Pretty much all of his 45s are great in my opinion. Top New Orleans stuff.

Is it on a Venture 45 as well? Isn't the original release on a Big C 45? And it's not THAT hard surely? A copy sold quite cheap (under $15) on eBay just a couple of months back. Also on a reissue 45 on Ronn. Nice tune!

What a storming tune!!! Decent mid-tempo flip as well.

Robert Darden's book People Get Ready!: A New History of Gospel Music" is absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in the history of gospel music in particular and the roots of african american music in general. Thoroughly researched and well written (although a bit "academic" at times). Check it out: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0826414...8&s=gateway

How do you spot a Nancy Wilson counterfeit? I've always been suspicious about my copy...

About 12-13 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking!

Yes, that Harlem River Drive tune sure is fab!. Glad you liked it, sounded awesome last friday. As for the club I run, here's the homepage if you're interested: https://www.clubunderstanding.com/ All of the text is in swedish, but there are photos, flyers, lots of sound clips and a bunch of 60-minute MP3-mixes for downloading if you look around a bit... the music policy is supposed to be all over the place, but it turns out 90% soul, funk, disco and r&b most of the nights anyway... by the way "lyssna" means "listen"... good luck...

I played Harlem River Drive's "Seeds Of Life" on Roulette this past friday at my club and it sounded absolutely magnificent. Great booming sound. Have a listen to a short clip: https://homepage.mac.com/lscott/jukebox/Seeds_Of_Life.mp3

Don't think I've ever played that side of the 45 earlier... so just dug it out and indeed, it's a nice dancer. Still prefer the a-side "Last Night Changed It All". Sorry, not for sale, but thanks for the tip. Shouldn't be too hard to locate, a M- copy went through eBay just the other day for $51.

Lovely piece of 80s! In fact, every single track on the LP which that tune is included on is great. As for my top-5 at the moment... 60s: Joe Hicks - I'm Goin' Home - SCEPTER Gene & Eunice - Soul Loving - CENCO Stu Gardner - How Do You Feel - STRAIGHT AHEAD Ernie & Ed - Indication - JAY BOY UK Don Bryant - What Are You Doing To My World - HI 70s/80s: Serenade - Maybe This Time - OUT FRONT Arnie Love - Break Out - TAP (12") Players Association - Everything's Gonna Be O.K. - VANGUARD (LP) Steve Marshall - Maintain - REYNOLDS Loveman Ronnie Stokes - Touch You Again - PHILLY CITY (12")

Thanks, Karl. Anyone know the deal with Sabata? The 12" has got both a "short" and "long" version on it, so a 7" wouldn't be entirely out of the question I guess.

Frederick "Move On" on HEAT! WHAT a bloody nice tune!!! And still cheap as chips. Love it!!!

Does anyone of you know if these tunes are available on 7" or if they were only released on 12"? Sabata - Man For My Lady - TSOB Vance And Suzzanne - I Can't Get Along Without You - VANTON And if anyone has got them for sale, please PM me. Thanks.

Lovely piece of early soul. https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Roosevelt_G...Set_Me_Free.ram

Ah! Interesting. Didn't know that. Just checked out Manship's homepage and he mentions: CURTIS - How Can I Tell Her / I Remember - CHARM CITY 1879 CURTIS - How Can I Tell Her / I Remember - CHARM CITY 1932 (1st. Mix 4.32 long) Strange that the "first mix" has got a higher catalogue number than the supposedly "second mix" though. Would really like to hear it.

That MP3 is taken from my Charm City 45. Were there two different versions of this released on Charm City 45s?

So you need the 7" mix then? Here it is: (what a pounding tune!!! ) Curtis___How_Can_I_Tell_Her.mp3

No it's not. I'm not saying anything about it being northern or not/soul or not, but it's a great tune. Would've sounded even better with different production. It's pretty much perfect eurovision song contest fodder and would probably have won if it had entered. Great verses, catchy chorus, nice breaks, decent lead vocal (Steve Brokenstein?) and an obligatory key change towards the end (or am I just imagining that?). It's brilliant, and IF written by Levine, definitely one of his finest moments since "24 Hours A Day" by Barbara Pennington.

I like it. It's a near perfect pop tune. But Levine indeed, and I could've done without the pseudo-60s production and backing vocals.

What a monster of a tune! Have you heard Chuck Cornish "A Tribute To Mohammed Ali" on White Cliffs? Same backing track, very different lyrics. Both are brilliant! I think the Chuck Cornish 45 was released prior to Senator Jones.
