Have you heard the alternative version of "Salt And Pepper" on Kent's "Arock/Sylvia Story" CD? It's sung by some unknown artist, entitled "Deep Down Inside" and shares the exact same backing as "Salt And Pepper" but has got different lyrics. Must say that I like "The Boo Boo Song" quite a bit. Blasting nursery rhyme soul! Love both sides of the Togo 45 discussed above, as well as "Black Bottom Blues". Fantastic stuff.

Because it's not a soul record. A bit like playing The Beach Boys at a reggae event. I'm not saying that either Liz Verdi nor The Beach Boys are bad. But I wouldn't want to hear them in that context.

Here's a scan of the sleeve. I love both sides of this record. Wouldn't in a million years play either of them at a soul event though...

Ofcourse you can. You just need some software to do it. I just downloaded your actual wma file using HiDownloadPro. I think it's a dreadful all-over-the-place tune with weak vocals, annoying sound effects, a pointless drum break and then comes that bridge which is just plain bad.

FANTASTIC tune! And the flip is great as well. The latest copy on eBay sold for £17.25. There's another copy on there right now.

These auctions are ending in 5 hours or so. Thanks for checking them out.

That would be nice, yes.

I absolutely love this. Decently priced at £20 as well.

Are you on about "There's A New Thing". I've been meaning to ask this myself for a while. I'd like to know. Does anyone know? Listen to it here: /index.p...cmd=si&img=2792 Nice in a funky Tom Jones kinda way.

That might be so. But it sure sounds awful from where I sit right now.

Very good value for your money. Two sides of outrageously gritty, stomping and hard 60s soul. I've attached RAs of both sides below, these tunes are everything that Temptones cover-up isn't.

Wow. I'm amazed. It's got a half decent backing track but the vocals are absolutely dreadful. Each to their own and all that... but I would be really, really dissapointed if I heard this while out dancing, let alone in my living room.

Is this track supposed to be good?

Love these two! Have a listen below.

Do you mean "I Got Loaded"? Sorry, don't have a copy for sale, but that sure is a fantastic tune. Keep an eye on eBay, it frequently sells on there for $10-$30.

"We're Gonna Make It" is indeed very good, but are you implying that you think it is better than "Move On Up". Surely not.

I don't. I was just answering the original question.

The "you don't begin to comprehend" bit, that's Paul Simon speaking. It's the exact same part that can be heard on the original Simon & Garfunkel cut (which ofcourse also was released on Columbia and is fantastic). I wouldn't consider Dana Valery's cut to be "soul" in any way.

I'm with you on this one, "Lost Friends" is definitely the better side, just thought it would be easier to sell for the uptempo side.

Couldn't agree more, at least 8 of her 10 Columbia sides are top stuff!

A fantastic deep soul track indeed, but wouldn't it be easier to sell this 45 (on a message board populated with mostly northern soulies) if you advertised it for its flipside, the stomping dancer "I Can't Do It (I Just Can't Leave You)" instead?

Please excuse me, I had just come home from a 13-hour work day when I wrote that (note to self: shouldn't go out on the internet when I'm tired/frustrated/etc...). Sorry if the tone of my reply was a bit harsh. I didn't mean to offend you.
