Here are some examples: Jean Brooks on G-NOTE Bobby Young on FOXIE Ron Surrey & Mary Mundy on INSURANCE CITY Gwenn Douglass on MICHELLE Little Henry Lee on GISMO Roscoe Robinson on FAME Tony Wheeler on RANARD Price Exchange on SMASH Reggie Lavong on SPECTRUM Bobby And Terri on PROVIDENCE Jackie Day on MODERN Lee Tillman on RON Plus a whole lot more. There are sound clips and scans to all of these 45s. Check it out: https://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZpushkings Thanks for looking!

So it IS the same guy? Sounds like it to me. Yes I really like that one as well. But then again I'm a sucker for tunes with an obvious New Orleans soul influence. Have a listen:

Yes. And there's a (IMO far superior) 60s version by them on one of their Smash 45s.

I've only seen it in a Revue discography. Don't own the 45 and I haven't heard it.

My WD is on vinyl.

Is it the same recording that was issued on King. 1973 - KING 6412 - Sylvester Boyd - I Don't Want Nobody / I Can't Go On Livin'

Same here. And Marvin & Tammi "Ain't No Mountain..." ofcourse.

Ah! That would explain the low price then.

Yes, I think it does. It's from 1965.

If there's anything above (not marked SOLD!) that you're interested in but don't agree with my pricing... make me an offer off-forum (fonzeus@telia.com) and I'll think about it. Have also got a copy of the following LP: Monitors - Greetings!... We're The Monitors - SOUL - EX+ - £45 SOLD! (great LP, stunning copy, looks and plays great, upper left corner of cover cut) And this 45: Maxine Brown - It's Torture / I Got Love - KENT UK - EX+ - £10 SOLD! (two unissued dancers, not easy to pick up these days) Prices includes shipping. PayPal payments only, please.

Both were released in 1962. And the original label is Home Of The Blues.

Yes there is. My Tempests LP is a US mono copy. Unfortunately a lot harder to find than the stereo copies though.

Here's an RA of the Ray Sharpe version of "Help Me":

It was the "too early to be taken seriously" comment that I found amusing, considering how far back in time I search for good music. Nevermind, it was nothing serious.

Each to their own etc. I think the the Commands version sounds ridiculous when compared to The O'Jays.

Great tune. It's about £15 now. Rumoured to be the same group as Charades on MGM/Okeh etc.

You crack me up!

I rate it as well. Great track. I've heard that there is a Ronnie Milsap compilation CD in the making with stuff from his (pre-country) Scepter and Warner years. The Dan Penn produced stuff etc. Should be a keeper.

"No Time For You" is indeed the better side. But why anyone plays the Commands instead of the vastly superior original O'Jays version on Imperial is beyond me.

Bloody fantastic tune!

Have you heard the Ray Sharpe version on Atco? Very, very nice IMO.

That is indeed your opinion, and you're wrong. I know what you mean regarding turnout/atmosphere/etc, but I personally had a really nice new years eve and I'm glad that I traveled to Gothenburg for it.

Yes, same tune. No, unfortunately no soundclip.

Comes in its original MTA sleeve!) Willie Small - How High Can You Fly - ESSICA - EX+ - £25 SOLD! (in-demand uptempo 60s dancer, this is the copy with misprinted labels - reads "Curtis Smith - Say You Will" but plays Willie Small) Jones Family - You've Gotta Feel It Baby / Chains Of Love - JEN JILLUS - EX+ - £20 SOLD! (a fantastic 45! both sides are superb. one side is a nice uptempo crossover dancer while the flipside is a blasting funk tune) Shirley Wahls - Because I Love You - CALLA - EX (wol) - £20 SOLD!

(stomp stomp stomp! vastly underappreciated and mindblowing uptempo dancer! top fave of mine, selling my spare copy) Black River Circus - Love's Gonna Carry Me (Home) / A Ritual Melody - MRC - EX+ - £20 SOLD!

(great stomping version of the Billy Butler classic, only included on the issues and they are bloody hard to find) Winchester - Hot On The Heels Of Love - METROMEDIA w/d - M- - £50 (total blue eyed stomper and then some! largely unknown and hard to find copies of. this is a double-sided demo) Tim Whitsett - Still A Lot Of Love - RIM - EX- - £25 SOLD! (the label reads TW & The Imperial Show Band featuring Hank & Buzz - so perhaps H&B are the artists? sounds like a duo anyway. rare blue eyed stuff) Poppies - He's Ready - EPIC w/d - EX+ (sol, wol) - £10 (classic Wigan dancer, nice white demo) John Rhys & The Lively Set - Nothing But Love - IMPACT w/demo - EX - £15 (manic stomping Wigan instrumental, there is unfortunately a crack in this 45, but it plays without any problems, no clicks, no nothing) Dean Parrish - Tell Her - BOOM - EX (wol) - £5 (classic uptempo dancer) Robert John - If You Don't Want My Love - COLUMBIA w/demo - M- - £10 (in-demand feelgood dancer, nice double-sided white demo) Dey And Knight - I'm Gonna Love You Tomorrow - COLUMBIA w/demo - EX+ - £8 (atmospheric mid-tempo tune) Gordon Keith - This Is How I Feel - ONE-DERFUL - M- - £25 (old stafford spin, obscure and rare mid-tempo dancer) Sharon Redd - Half As Much - VEEP w/demo - EX+ - £10 (one of Sharon's first records, mid-tempo) Thanks for looking!
