Here's an MP3 of "Teardrops" by Soul Bros Inc.

Manship has had this on his site for quite some time at £75. Now when I went over there again to see if he still had it, he has lowered the price to £50. Not an easy 45 to find and seems to be unknown to most people so unless you supply a sound clip with your listing chances are you won't sell it at all. Great tune in my opinion and I've sold two copies less than a year ago for £40 each.

Great tune! I'd really like to have a copy of the 45 if anyone's got a copy up for grabs (if so, please contact me on fonzeus@telia.com ).

Yes, a couple of times. For example I got Randy & The Soul Citizens "Meet Me At The Pool" on Barry after I put it up as a want on one of the soul forums. Had been looking for it for a good couple of years.

Have seen a whole bunch of different designs for the Amazers 45. Below is a scan of my copy. All of them are originals as far as I know (still a £5-£10 disc so why bootleg it?). Great storming dancer.

On the way.

Sorry, don't know anything about the musicians... But you're absolutely right. That's an utterly brilliant tune. Can't believe how I forgot it in my list above. It's such a blasting and primitive track. Love it!

All three? They released at least nine or ten 45s on Charay. Some of them shared the same tunes, but still. Many of their Smash and Blue Rock recordings are also fabulous ("Soul Of A Man", "Just A Tear", "Gonna Give It To You", "Don't Put Me Down", "Sad World Without You" etc.). Plus they sang back-up on Willie Hobbs "Action" on Soft/Mercury.

Ooohhh... Very nice indeed! Wouldn't mind a copy myself.

The above auctions are ending in about 3 hours from now.

It's from 1963. And although I don't have the 45 right here, I'm pretty sure that "There He Is" is on the flip on my Sue copy of "Heartaches".

That's a bit pricey in my opinion.

Big Joe Turner's 45s on the Bluesway label were released in 1968/1969. An early tune that definitely should be sorted in the soul category is "My Tears" by Andre Williams from 1956 (or is it 1957?). It's the flip to "Jail Bait".

Was going through some stuff this morning and found a copy of the "From The Vaults" album on the original US Natural Resources label that I no longer need. It's packed with unissued Motown stuff that first appeared on this LP. Here is the tracklisting: Side A: Temptations - Nobody But You Diana Ross & Supremes - Take Me Where You Go Monitors - Cry Marvin Gaye - Sweeter As The Days Go By Marvelettes - I Should Have Known Better Side B: Spinners - What More Could A Boy Ask For Smokey Robinson & Miracles - It's Fantastic Mary Wells - Drop In The Bucket Gladys Knight & Pips - The Lonely Heart And Lonely Eyes Of Lonely Me Martha Reeves & Vandellas - Undecided Lover I don't know if there's any interest in this, but if anyone needs the LP - e-mail (fonzeus@telia.com) or PM me and we'll work something out.

Seconded. That Nina Simone version is one of my all-time faves. Clarence Carter's version is very nice as well.

Apart from Pic & Bill (whose material I love to bits), I really, really like the stuff from The Carbo Brothers a.k.a. Hank & Claude Carbo a.k.a. Claude & Hank Carbo on several different labels. Also Simtec & Wylie are nice.

Totally agreed. The "Screamin'" part of his name surely makes sense! The flipside, "She's My Baby", is the top tune for me though. Got myself a reasonably priced copy a while back. Well chuffed.

I get some of my deep soul from there as well. As you wrote, to each their own etc.

Cheers mate! If anyone of you want to hear the tunes I mentioned above, here are links to some RAs: Otis Clay Winfield Parker Lee Moses Marvin L. Sims Truth L C Hank & Claude Carbo Jimmy Holiday Dan Penn Lonnie Mack Knight Brothers Trumains Tyrone Davis

There are thousands of deep soul tunes that are worthy of mention IMO. Off the top of my head, here are some that I constantly go back to: Otis Clay - That's How It Is (When You're In Love) - ONE-DERFUL Winfield Parker - When I'm Alone - RU-JAC Lee Moses - Bad Girl - MUSICOR Marvin L. Sims - Danger - REVUE Truth - Come Back Home - SOUNDS OF CLEVELAND L C - Put Me Down Easy - SAR Hank & Claude Carbo - I Still Love Her - CASTLE Jimmy Holiday - I Can't Stand It - DIPLOMACY/KENT Dan Penn - I Need Some One - MGM Lonnie Mack - Why - FRATERNITY Knight Brothers - Temptation's 'Bout To Get Me - CHECKER Trumains - Girl Don't Let Me Down - VIGOR Tyrone Davis - A Woman Needs To Be Loved - DAKAR etc. etc. etc. There are sooooo many.

Not that strange really, I think that "I Saw The Light" would've fit nicely onto "Tapestry". Todd was extremely influenced by artists like Carole King and Laura Nyro at that time (check out some of Laura's early albums if you haven't, she's got a very "special" voice, but those melodies!!!). Have you heard Todd's "We Gotta Get You A Woman" (let me know if you haven't and I'll send you a copy)? It's eerily similar to Carole King's song writing style. Absolutely awesome stuff!

What a fantastic piece of music. Love it to bits.
