fibreglass dress makes the girl dance & writhe & itch in a way which gets him thinking "thoughts" about her, so he's gotta go to "sunday mass" to cool down as it were. second line is a parade to dance in, so he wants to see her dance in the parade, not all street parades in NOLA are funerals, mostly they are big street parties!!

i never got the vibe that Robinson is going to kill the girl at all, just a playful pushing into the river. great song, i actually cover this live & it always goes down well. of course you know the Rolling Stones did it early on? there is also a Taj Mahal version from the 90s which is, well, 90s Taj. recently made popular again with the kids through a version by Old Crow Medicine Show.

Jim Russell's looked shut for good in 2013, it reopened briefly in 2014 but is closed up again at the moment. The spots to hit are Euclid, Domino & LMF. (in that order)

i go there every year to buy 45s & do pretty well.

sold

Increasingly rare & sought after beautiful sweet crossover soul 45 NM $600US https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/148285188/spice.mp3

Oh Willie Hightower was incredible, voice unaffected by time, total highlight. Brenda Holloway probably needs to walk away though.......so disappointing.

the shows were incredible, especially the second night, amazing.

I'll be there. DJing a short set on the patio outside on one or both of the nights also. Can't wait for it. Killer lineup.

Good things are now happening in many US cities, I've played great rare soul nights & been hosted by awesome people, collectors & soul clubs all over the US during the last decade or so.

Just threw this together.

Have we got definitive release years for the Power-House 45s?? 64, 65 or 66?

I have never seen a sleeve

I have a New Zealand press of the Nolan Porter on pink Probe.

pretty neat find whatever it is

huh, i did not know the ripple track, thanks for the info.

Lou Reed "Walk On The Wildside" is another (not soul though) In soul it's not common & I can't think of an example off the top of my head, although there will definitely be one.

i don't quite get what you're asking, Love Explosion is a legit rare disco/modern/boogie 45. what is the ripple record?
