For yourself? Not exactly "your" kinda sound with those screaching female vocals. If you're on about "Let Go, Baby", that is... decent dirgey backing though.

How strange... picked up a copy of the LP here in my hometown in Sweden yesterday for about £0.15. I like that tune as well. Nice with a brass-heavy boogie kinda feeling and then there's that dreadful/brilliant guitar solo right in the middle. Was also issued as an Anchor 45 by the way.

I'm a sucker for the flipside to "Love Song", "I'll Always Love You". Nice uptempo dancer. Great group.

Whoa! Hadn't heard that tune in ages, but went to a C86/indie/twee club this past saturday and they played it to a packed dancefloor with people singing along etc. Sounded very nice indeed.

I did not say that it was unknown, just that it wasn't "widely known". Most records aren't widely known, really.

No, I don't think it's particularly well known... not in the "Do I Love You", "Love You Baby" type of way at least. A great and cheap gritty soul tune. I prefer his equally cheap "I'm In Danger" on Checker though. Many of his releases are good, just pick them all up. There are at least two different artists named Cash McCall though so beware.

Me again... £10-£15 seems to be an appropriate "value" for Otis Leavill. This just sold on eBay, vinyl copy, properly listed, with label scan etc.: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4713619601 Anyone paying £40-£75 for this 45 must be very, very, very impatient.

Both those prices are over the top. It should be £15-£25.

Indeed. Release info for the two "I Can't Make It Anymore" releases: 1967 - MGM 13692 - I Can't Make It Anymore / Don't Hold Back 1971 - MGM 14263 - I Can't Make It Anymore / I'm Alive With A Lovin' Feeling

I have a swedish Tamla Motown copy around here somewhere if anyone's interested. Send me an offer if so. It's in EX condition (at least) and plays great.

I disagree with you on everything you wrote above. But you knew that... To me there is no such thing as a "wrong" dance beat. Just people who don't know how to move to music that doesn't come with a 4/4 thump thump thump thump beat.

You sure introduced me at least to "Years Of Tears". I only knew that 45 for the flipside earlier. 2 good sides made me splash out £20 on it quite soon after I found out about it. The Frank Polk version is better than Rivingtons IMO, what does it matter whether it's any good for "northern purposes"?

What else is there? Nah, just kidding. Yes, I'm very into gritty r&b/soul that leans heavily towards the rock'n'roll side of things. I like my soul/r&b with an edge. Saying that, I also love plenty of non-gritty soul as well... Ahhh! I love it all. I'm glad you liked my selection!

So you're saying that you actually LIKE the "girly backing"?

Interesting how taste differs. ALL other versions, including myself singing it in the shower, are better than the Maurice Jackson version in my opinion. It's that dreadful opera singer in the background which completely ruins it for me.

The Swan issue is from 1965. The one on BB was released in 1967.

I think it's a great piece of mellow early 70s soul!

It's a bit tricky, but possible... let's say that you want to download Pete's second northern mix... The mix can be found on this page: /index.p...cmd=si&img=3943 Go to "view source" (or something like that) in the tab next to "edit" (can't remember what it's called in english) in your browser. A new window opens. Click "edit" and then "search". Search for "mp3". You will find this link: uploads/1110659428/gallery_1893_80_1922682.mp3 Now... paste that after the following: / And you'll get a link like this: /uploads..._80_1922682.mp3 Now... "right click" on the link above and choose "save target as". Do this for all the files you want to download... Or Mike could just add an option of "download this file" on the sounds page...

Stick it on eBay. I've seen Buddah distributed copies go for $30-$100. I can probably give you £25 if you don't need it.

The original was indeed issued on the red Pure Soul label. It sold loads and loads of copies when released so should be easy and cheap to pick up. Manship has got it for £15 but that is WAY too much. Not booted as far as I know. Here are some copies on eBay: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4704475956 https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4711126399 https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4712386358

Indeed, that Rivingtons 45 is a fine double sider. "I Love You Always" is the preferable side IMO although both are fantastic. Recent copies on eBay have been selling for $50-$65-ish... I.e. £20-£35-ish I guess. Have never seen a vinyl copy, only styrene demos and issues. Has anyone got a vinyl one? Wanna sell it?
