He cut lots of superb tunes, but he's hardly a good singer in my opinion. Some faves of mine that haven't been posted yet: joe bataan - i'm satisfied - bataan - woman don't wanna love me -

There's no better place to start than here: https://tittyshaker.com/jukejoint.htm Plenty of soundclips etc.

Fantastic stuff, Steve! Big thanks for taking the time to put up those scans.

I've seen three or four different label variations, all are originals as far as I know and were pressed at different pressing plants. It must've been a very good seller upon release. Exists on both styrene and vinyl.

Only 2-3 hours to go on these auctions now! Thanks for looking. :-)

Nice version of "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" in my opinion:

A fantastic tune indeed, but that one is on the flipside to "I Can Feel My Love Comin' Down". "A Woman's Way" (superb as well) is the flipside to "Mine Was Real".

She issued two 45s - one on Scepter in 1972 and one on Wand in 1973. "Stay Away From Me" is the flipside to "Ain't No Love Lost": Patti Jo - Ain't No Love Lost / Stay Away From Me - SCEPTER 12366 Patti Jo - Make Me Believe In You / Keep Me Warm - WAND 11255 "Keep Me Warm" isn't in refosoul, but the rest are.

That's great news, and I'd love to hear more stuff from her. But it's a bit confusing that Tony wrote the following above: "There isn't any more material in the Scepter/Wand vaults - of that you may be 100% certain." Have the tapes gone missing?

If you get the chance/time to do that it would be great! I'd really like to see pictures of her and read any further information that might be found in that article. Wouldn't mind hearing the unissued tune as well...

I just found a 2009 digital(/CD?) release by Patti Jo from the GUSTO label which features the four sides on her SCEPTER and WAND 45s as well as a fifth tune "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" (the Sam & Dave track, I assume). Has anyone of you heard that fifth tune? Is it perhaps the unissued tune that Steve mentioned above? Or are they all new re-recordings? Here's the itunes link: https://ax.itunes.app...lay/id311666406

The long versions of "Make Me Believe In You" and "Ain't No Love Lost" on the "Disco Gold" LP are re-edits made by Tom Moulton. He had access to the master tapes and the original 7" releases were most likely mixed down from longer recordings, so Moulton could re-arrange and speed the recordings up as he saw fit to make them more suitable for plays in disco clubs.

NOTE that Tommy Ridgley recorded two different versions of this tune. The first one is on RIC (#984) from 1961 and then he cut a later one on RONN (#36) in 1970. Both are great in my opinion, but might be good to have in mind when buying it.

There's now about 2 days left on these auctions.

That's strange. Check this page under Insertion Fees > Media: https://pages.ebay.co.../sell/fees.html Also, the final value fee is always 9% of the closing amount (but never more than £40, i.e. if you sell a record for £2000 the fee is still only £40 despite that 9% out of £2000 actually would be £180). The above goes for the co.uk site. Listings on .com is different. The basic insertion fee is never more than $0.25-$2.00 though (if you don't list in two categories, have a subtitle etc.). The final value fee is always 9% of the closing amount (but never more than $50).

The insertion fees in the media section on ebay.co.uk is £0.10 regardless of what amount you start the auction at.

That's a different version of the same tune (from 1961). The version in the YouTube clip is only available on the "Hell" LP as far as I know.

I think it originated on the SoulStrut forum: https://www.soulstrut.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/64091/ https://www.soulstrut.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/64125/ Happy reading.

Seriously, give it a rest.

I fully understand that and people can do whatever suits them best. Was just giving my view of things.

Give it a rest, I wasn't having a go at anyone, just stating my thoughts on this. Life is indeed very short, that's why I'll never understand the need to buy reissues at £10-£20 a pop to get ONE tune to play at home, when that money could be spent much more wisely and result in more musical pleasure. This is all in my opinion ofcourse. I'm not forcing anyone to share my view.

Did you get the copy that Manship auctioned, or do you have an hitherto unknown copy of it?

That's correct. Have been after it since I heard it on Finewine's show in 2003/2004 or so. I was by the way the second highest bidder on the copy that Haim Kenig auctioned on eBay a couple of years back which you got cheap (I had no idea it would prove to be that rare!). The copy I now finally have gotten my hands on is in superb shape, somewhere between EX and EX+ on both sides and plays perfect. Don't know if refosoul is up, but I'll try to post both sides of the 45 if it's possible. EDIT: just tried, refosoul is not working.
