Wanted: Emanuel Taylor "You really got a hold on me" Bernard Opinions on the going rate, please? Send a PM Thanks Heikki

My guess is also Milton Bennett. Oh how I'd like to be there...

Ciao Roccia, it's originally only on two LPs, the other is Ohio Players "16 Greatest hits". Is it Towanda Barnes on vocals? There is also recent 45 pressing (credited to Townada?) but I've been told the sound quality is poor.

Wanted: Z.Z. Hill - That's it / What more - Kent at least ex condition please, the b-side should play without noise. Send a PM or email through my profile. Thanks very much Heikki

Issue copies on eBay go for about £15 to £20, demos slightly more. One of my favourite 70s northern sounds for sure, just timeless. You can play this at any type of night.

Four Larks - That's all that counts, trad northern stomper.

I see the secret's finally out, John Manship has added Johnny Praye - "Can't get too much love" on his auction page. He probably added it last Sunday, which is a strange coincedence (wait for it!) because last Saturday I was at a local night club here in Finland, where a friend of mine was playing across the board black music from Jazz to Gnarls Barkley to Northern Soul. Then suddenly "Can't get too much love" blasts out of the speakers. Gobsmacked! He had picked it up from a local second hand store for just a few Euros. It came from a box that had maybe 300 demos from 1967 and he was the second to have a look, and only picked what was cheap and good. I was the third one and I still got Curly Moore, Lainie Hill, Four Larks - "Groovin" on Tower and "That's all that counts" on Uptown, Hoagy Lands - Next in line UK Stateside Demo (!) and a few more. All mint and in company bags. I wonder how they got here, were they sent to a radio station or a record store back in the day? Fantastic when things like this happen. Of course I told him what he had and now he wants to wait until the auction finishes before he'll think of selling or trading it. I'm hopeful he'll do a good deal for a fellow Finn though. Four copies have been on eBay according to Popsike, all being about £900 so far. Heikki 1

Falcons: "I can't help it" is 3/4 all the way through.

It came out three times on Cat, here's some fascinating detective work done by Jeff Lemlich: https://p220.ezboard.com/flimestoneloungefr...opicID=26.topic Can anybody post Jeff a scan of the side with "I Believe"?

Is "Try Them" coming out on a 45? I sure hope so. Heikki

For sale: D & Joe - Instant happiness - De-To M- £150 I've only seen this on e-mail lists twice and the other one was listed at £250. Great dancer with strange lyrics, the backing has a similar punchy sound as "Sitting in my class". Paypal payments please, £5 for recorded airmail delivery. Send a PM or email. Cheers Heikki Hirsimaki

I noticed Val Palmer and Jo Wallace dance the same way, when I asked, yes they did go to the same clubs in their youth!

No, the sound quality on the French "Soul Record" release is really good.

Wanted: Barrino Brothers - Just a mistake - TCB Cheers Heikki

ZZ Hill - Don't make promises you can't keep - Kent (Get it while it's cheap, same backing as the ultra rare Eddie Rey - I've got something of value!) Ender: Ultimations - Would I do it over - Mar-V-Lus Heikki

Anybody got an mp3 of Carol Woods? (can't listen to .ra or .wma) Most exciting tunes for me are the ones that have just come through the post, now it's Four Sonics - Easier said than done - Sport. It's mint and unplayed, very nice because it's styrene. Awesome Dale Warren arrangement, full of drama and despair. Another recent purchase is Jackie Beavers - Trying to get back to you girl. Can't really decide do I really like it, sometimes it sounds awesome, sometimes just okay. Heikki
