Rare Soul 45 Company Sleeves
The prices they are asking are ridiculous in some cases. I've seen individual sleeves worth more than the record 😀. Seriously I'm not sure what these sellers are up to. Obviously expanding their sales, but to have the 45 in the same sale as the separate sleeve is a p**s take because we can see the two belong together and have been separated for commercial purposes.

Rare Soul 45 Company Sleeves
I put some covers together as a bit of a collage for the office wall. Not finished yet as I'm going to put some copied labels onto the RCA 45's. Picture wrong way round of course !!

Pressings - may someone advise please?
Forgot.... Edward Hamilton is an easy one to differentiate. Orange label Carrie is the original and will go for big bucks now (several hundred pounds). The Green label is a legit reissue and probably today will be in the tens of pounds - 30 ish I guess ?

Frank Dell Boot / pressing https://www.45cat.com/record/6900xb Frank Dell Original https://www.45cat.com/record/6900us Different typeface on the label and the original is very dark red. The boot is lighter red and if memory serves me will probably have some bubbling on the label.

Charade Rotherham
Nice to hear the Windmill mentioned. I went there a few times in my youth. We caught the train north to Rotherham one day and walked towards the venue. There was 3 of us and we were around 15 years old or so, as we wandered towards the venue a heavy rocker came running at us waving a piece of 4x2 shouting that we were part of a certain gang and we'd beat up his mate the week before. So it was fight or flight.....we chose flight knowing the old rocker wouldn't catch us. Friendly place Rotherham...😀 Andy Mac

Chalky, see my response to Mark R above. Not about money for me. Drew

Enchanted Five Full Listing Anyone ?
Bit harsh on the response there Mike I feel. Perfectly valid question IMHO. But yes, lets stick to the topic....... For those who are after the 'darling I need you / Your love...' on the Yellow label. Just be aware that a fair few of them are pressed off centre. I know a few people who have been caught on this 😯

Carlton Jumel Smith - This is What Love Looks Like - Timmion Records
Its quite simple to understand really if you read the thread. If something is advertised with a certain picture, but what arrives is not the item in the picture, then people question why. For me its got nothing to do with having a first or second press, OVO or any other bollocks, and has nothing what so ever to do with the artist. I just wanted to understand why I didn't get what I thought I ordered. Call it nonsense if you want but it was a perfectly logical question to ask.
-
Carlton Jumel Smith - This is What Love Looks Like - Timmion Records
Not really. The question really was why when on pre-release order and all the advertised copies were shown as white, people were sent a 2nd press (Timmion's own words) of yellow. No biggie for me as I said above, but there was some confusion caused.
-
Carlton Jumel Smith - This is What Love Looks Like - Timmion Records
According to Timmion they ran out of white label copies during pre-order so pressed yellow to meet the demand.
-
Carlton Jumel Smith - This is What Love Looks Like - Timmion Records
For what its worth I don't see how two different colour labels released at the same time could be regarded differently. I just liked the white label and wanted one 😪
-
Carlton Jumel Smith - This is What Love Looks Like - Timmion Records
This is from the Timmion website as of 1 minute ago....Yellow 2nd Press
-
Carlton Jumel Smith - This is What Love Looks Like - Timmion Records
Read my reply above On Discogs and Timmion's own website Yellow is the 2nd press
-
Carlton Jumel Smith - This is What Love Looks Like - Timmion Records
The Yellow is classed as a second press. I pre-ordered ready for the release and got yellow copies expecting white, so I'm not sure what's going on 😮

OK good info Chalky. Its been years since I read it so going on memory.
-
Karl Tarleton - Chicago Music
I think the Robert Pruter book 'Chicago Soul' will provide quite a bit of info as he delves deeply into the history of Chicago's black music scene. I read it years ago and my copy is in storage but I'm sure Tarleton gets a bit of coverage. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/362107.Chicago_Soul ATB Andy

Gents and the Lady - I can feel the tears HUE RECORDS
This used to go thru Ebay with hardly any bidders. I bought two copies from a dealer in Carolinas for a few dollars each. Not and never will be a 200-400$ record.

Spoliers - Sad man's land - Turbo
For your delectation... A 'low rider' and always in demand. This comes again from the basement of the store owner who closed his shop decades ago. The Spoilers - Sad man's land - Turbo - £120 The label has some fading, but no rips, stains, writing or flaking. The vinyl is bright and shiny but has a small edge storage warp in one specific place which does NOT affect the play. There is a light 'swoosh' on the run in for a second or so when it passes over but after the music kicks in it plays loud and proud. All sales guaranteed with full refund etc. Postage 1.50 UK First, 2.50 recorded and 5.00 worldwide or special at cost. Payment by Paypal as F&F or add 5% if that's your preferred option. ATB Andy

Clovers - Try My Lovin' On You (promo)
Yes it looks like the ones I've had. Also both vinyl and styrene copies. There is a WDJ with different label designs also if I recall.

JIMMY JAMES HEY GIRL on DELTA
Saw them at Middlecroft Leisure Centre, Chesterfield circa '76 and they were superb.
