It is I believe. The vocal on 'The one...' sounds white in places, so it all seems to fit. Nice harmonies though.

I don't know the CD version but I have a couple of copies left of the 45 in question. The vocal is not Curtis Mayfield alone as its more of a group effort. The backing vocals are paired back so the backing track is often more prominent. For example there is no 'my baby' on the intro. I have both versions and I think both have their own merits. If you want a copy just let me know. Once they are gone they are gone as they say. ATB Andy

Hi all For me one of the best Impressions tunes, and cracking crossover. Totally mint unplayed and in its 'birth sleeve' ..LOL !! A lovely promo copy for you !!!. The Impressions - Love me - Curtom promo M £20 Please see the information added below. I have never heard this version of it and its brill to my ears, better than the standard one usually seen. 'I can confirm it is totally different. The first thing you will notice is there's no vocals on the intro with the repeating "My Baby, My Baby". The vocal is more group than someone actually taking the lead and i think i can hear that soft Curtis vocal in there, deep voiced spoken parts and the bassline does seem prominent in this mix.'

Got close to it in a record shop basement in the US. Records just strewn all over the place, boxes bursting open, piles of 45's lying around and 25 count boxes all around the walls.......it was heaven 😍

To be honest I do find some of the 'blue eyed' stuff leans more towards the 'pop' end of the spectrum, but there are some really good 45's also....Temptones on Arctic, Enchanters on Tee Pee etc.

I would contact them directly to explain and ask for guidance. The sizes quoted would be the same for most airlines, but most are flexible to a certain extent. Your problem may also come from the weight if you want to carry as hand baggage. Having tried their 'customer services' line both UK, Ireland and various overseas countries several years ago with a query of my own, and where nobody actually answered a phone, I wish you all the best.

A pop record comes top then in value. Seriously, I cannot believe some of the values, they are ludicrous. Constellations, Kelly & Soul Explosions, Brenda Jones.....FFS ! These are not rare records and even accounting for demand its really beyond any form of sanity. The Scorpion on SBP...that appears regularly on Ebay on one particular dealers auctions, so how many have they got ? Where will it end or will it ever end ?

Think Chris Anderton had one at the Horse and Groom yesterday. Black issue from memory ?

Hi Appreciate it if anyone has a spare 7" sleeve for an acetate I have. Similar to the attached photo would be great. Let me if you have one and the cost etc. Thanks in advance Andy

I pass it most days Sav and it always brings back great memories for me personally. I don't really do the oldies venues now so haven't been to the Hollingwood, Hasland etc. just been sticking to venues with the newer stuff (60's, xover, modern etc), but I might give them a whirl as their only 5 - 10 minutes away. Drew

We used to meet Nev at Inky Social and when the KGB All nighters were on in Sheffield we would arrange to be on a certain train arriving in Sheffield and Nev would drive down from the old place and pick us up at the station. The train from Chesterfield was always packed with soulies. We go to the warm up first and they kick us out about 11pm where we would go to the chippy and 'borrow' 😎 some pints of milk from the diary at the side, before returning to the KGB for the all-nighter. Great times and memories. Drew

We were all there also, me Andy (Drew) Macintyre, Andy Cole, Bri Simpson, Paul Holland and most of Middlecroft school if I remember 😁 In the lower picture (from the right) Jibber Yates, Ant Moore, Pete Clark (T-Shirt with badge) Andy Cole stood at the back with Chalks by the looks of it. Can't remember the guys name on the left. On the top picture is Nev holding court and Jib and Pete are there also and I spy a young Dave Manlove - second up on right. Drew
