I didn't expect that you would charge that, but it was mentioned above that the "value" of this record is about £400, just wanted to point out that far cheaper copies can be had on eBay.

There was also a 45 in 1978 by The Fabulous Tears, but apart from that only releases by the ones you mentioned. The early 60s releases by Billy Adams and Bobby Dale were released by a different Ko Ko label as far as I know.

Good luck trying to sell The Monzas on Moon at £400. A rare record indeed, but the latest handful of copies (during the past 6 months) on eBay have all reached $100-$150 or less. A decent, but very "mod" record to these ears.

About 24 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for checking them out.

Nice gritty instrumental. I personally prefer the flipside.

The 12" is indeed fairly easy to find but the 7" has proved to be pretty damn elusive and it luckily hasn't got that long slap bass break. The 45 version is only 3:58, check out the sound clip below. Still seems to be quite unknown. Banging tune! Double Exposure After All This Time.mp3

Thanks! Aparently the same group and they only had one release on the Gold Coast label. Great punchy uptempo dancer in my opinion.

Is the Double Exposure group that did the fine "After All This Time" on a 7"/12" back in 1981 on the Gold Coast label the same group that had releases on Salsoul? And if so, did they release an entire LP on Gold Coast? Have read that the Salsoul bunch disbanded in 1980 so I'm a bit confused... Any info? Thanks in advance.

Don't forget to flip that one over for the fine deep soul ballad "Take Me Like I Am".

Yeah, I noticed that. Just thought it was a funny mix-up.

Made me laugh at least! https://cgi.ebay.com/Lenis-Guess-Just-Ask-M...1QQcmdZViewItem

Interesting indeed, Derek. Didn't know that. The copy up for grabs is the 60001 copy if it's of interest to any potential buyers. Would be nice to hear a sound clip of the 701 version if anyone's got an MP3 or RA.

A nice bargain for somewhere there. Storming dancer!. https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Emerald...9;ve_Got_It.ram

"Heavy Music" is from 1967 and was Bob Seger's last Cameo 45. I like much of his material, but "Heavy Music" is no big fave of mine. "2+2=?" (Capitol), "East Side Story" (Cameo) and his first couple of Capitol LPs are much better in my opinion. Having said that... like Mitch Ryder, The Rationals and many other r&b influenced Detroit/Michigan rockers, I have never sorted my Bob Seger records in the "soul" section of my record collection. It's nice good-time-shout-bamalama rock'n'roll though.

Just played that Oliver Bush 45 on Jubilee you've got for auction earlier this morning and what a total stomper it is. Underrated and underplayed. Love it! https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4835543482 Oliver Bush Please Come Back My Love.mp3

That Lester Young 45 hardly ever turns up and it's an absolute BELTER of a tune! Also both sides on that Louis Curry 45 are superb. Have a listen:

I knew that I had read something about the Ed Crook "issue" on another forum in the past and now I've found it, hope no one minds that I'm posting this... according to Joe Moorehouse over at the RareSoulForum: Major Reynolds, who owned Tri-Sound, told me that the cross-and-stars design on Ed Crook is a pirate copy. After the record became a hit locally, someone (he didn't know who, I don't think) had additional copies pressed up without Major's permission and sold them without his knowledge. Interestingly, this sort of thing apparently happened pretty often, or at least a lot of old musicians and label owners claim it did. Strange though that they both seems to have been pressed with the same master/stamper (Nashville markings etc.). Perhaps it was stolen? I don't know, just reporting what I've read elsewhere.

That Staple Singers cut was released as Epic 10339 in 1968. I've been thinking the same myself... that it's one that "could go"... unfortunately a bit on the short side though. Nice r&b dancer. Largely unknown it seems.

Any chance of an MP3 of the flipside to "Ain't That News" entitled "There's Going To Be A Wedding"? Anyone?

Let me put it this way... I've seen one copy of this record for sale in the past 5 years (or so) and I've actively been trying to find it. Admitedly, when I did find that one copy it only cost me $15, but that Freddie North 45 is seriously, seriously hard to find and I'll have to assume pretty rare. One of those that people say "oh, it's only a £10 record, you'll find it easily", don't know why really because it just doesn't turn up. A fantastic, pounding tune! As for value... I have no idea.

"A Lady's Man" is probably my fave Volcanos tune of them all, it's so hard and the sound quality on my white DJ copy is phenomenal! Love that nasty guitar. Saying that... I love many of their recordings, especially "Your Number 1", "Gotta Be A False Alarm", "Storm Warning" and "(It's Against) The Laws Of Love". Have personally never cared much for "Help Wanted" though. Gotta go dig them out!
