Had an unexpected surprise about 5 years ago whilst backpacking in Australia, walking home from my temping job one arvo' in Brisbane I stumbled across a little second hand record shop, found a few tasty 60's aussie only bits, but the real win was spotting a newly arrived box from the States. Anyway made a bit of a show about not being too excited and an hour later walked out with minters of Alex Brown 'Not responsible', Cool Sounds 'Who can I turn to', the ubiquitous Marcia Hines several Hotlanta and Philly int bits, all in all a haul of about 25 great records, at fifty cents a throw! I thought only old soulsters had vinyl fun like that, being only 26 at the time I thought I ruled! Strange where they turn up tho' ain't it?

Since reading several rave reviews in Mr Pearsons fine soul review and then finally getting to hear 'It's no mistake' by young Darrow about four years ago I'm hooked, trouble is the tapes' a little on the worn side now. I know he recorded several other sides on this and related labels which regularly turn up, this however is proving to be a bit hard. Anyone got any info? Cheers Jim.
