It was included as a bonus 7" to the "Soul Spectrum Records vol. 1" compilation LP recently released by Jazzman Records: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Soul-Spectrum-Records-Vol-1/release/4285894

It's proper, thumping, super traditional sounding 60's northern soul. I think it's great.

About 2 days to go on these auctions now: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html

Loads of copies everywhere. Also released on Stiletto. £5-£10 on both labels.

Hello! I've listed a bunch of records on eBay. There are label/sleeve scans and soundclips to everything. Check them out at: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html Thanks for looking! Take care. /Sebastian

Totally agree. The only reason in my opinion to own the 45 on ARC is because of the uptempo flipside. Has anyone ever tracked down Carole Waller's version of "You're So Good To Me Baby" (not the Silky Hargraves song)? Is it only a demo/acetate or does it exist on an issued 45? Apparently "recorded for USA Records".

It's a bootleg label.

Good previous topic about this:

That mint Timeless Legend 45 sold at a very decent price though. Probably the cheapest I have ever seen it sell for.

A high price for a 45 that usually struggles to push beyond $20 on its proper demo or issue: https://www.ebay.com/itm/300881880550 (Rozetta Johnson - "Mine Was Real")

Would be great if someone could post up the matrix details for the mispressed HBR 45 which includes the fast version of "You Belong To Me" vs. the properly pressed HBR 45.

Columbia owned Okeh since the mid-1920's.

Rite?

The scan/info above came from an auction that was on eBay in January 2012: https://collectorsfrenzy.com/details/120831876426/REUVEN_KALL__MARGARET_HINES_45_SUPER_RARE_FUNK_SOUL

Just found another 45 on JESSICA. It seems to be from 1982 though, so might not be related, but it also had a St. Louis base: JESSICA 001 - Reuven Kall & Margaret Hines - Main Man / Misty

Definitely seems more logical. https://www.45cat.com/label/zodiac-gr

Both styrene and vinyl available of the US issue. I've only ever seen the demo on styrene.

Willie Small on JESSICA 401-A on "How High Can You Fly" and 401-B on "Say You Will" Correctly pressed Curtis Smith on ESSICA: 3135 IRC/45 on "The Living End" and 401-B on "Say You Will" Mis-pressed Curtis Smith on ESSICA: 3135 IRC/45 on "The Living End" and 401-A on "Say You Will" (plays "How High Can You Fly")

The tunes share one line in the lyrics. That's the only similarity I can hear. More info in a previous thread about it here:

They are not the same tune at all. Even different song writers.

I've always found it intriguing that "Move On Up" was a complete failure on its original 45 release in the US. It didn't chart at all. One of my personal "desert island tunes". I never seem to tire of it.

Well, I'm on here and to me it's essential. 50% or more of my record collection is non-soul/r&b.

The Imperials "Where You Gonna Find Somebody Like Me" (PX 270 from 1978) is a good modern soul tune. But in my opinion the only essential release on the label is The Saints double-sider "I'm Stranded" / "No Time". None of their other releases even gets near it.

Yes, I think you're right about that.

For example here's La Lupe's "Fever" as it should sound: ... and here's how it is played on the popcorn scene: It has even been BOOTLEGGED at its slowed down pace...
