Swanee Sons of Birmingham 'To the end' / 'Trouble don't last always' (Prestige) VG+(+) Price in UK POUNDS = **SOLD** Choice gospel funk double sider. Proper stunner, on this tiny imprint out of Albama. Clip is from the record on offer! https://www.divshare....ad/20642166-8b8

Here's a youtube clip, Marco....not from the disc on offer

I'm intrigued to find out more about what 'Little Caesar' released......and under various guises like; Little Caesar and the Euterpians Little Caesar and the Romans Little Caesar and the Consuls .......etc All one in the same group just recording for different labels. Are there any definite discographies to hand? Thanks!

Fabulous info and discussion overnight, chaps.......most enjoyable stuff. Thanks to all of you that have contributed positively to the thread!

That Elizabeth D. Williams looks great! Any chance of some audio?

Here's the info I have on all 3 45's in my possession; The Spring Highland Gospel Singers ‘I’m tired, my soul needs rest’ / ‘Oh what a fellowship’ (Crown Ltd #109) feat. Henry Williams and Cornelius Boyd Blind Billy 'Nothing but the holy ghost' / 'More like Jesus' (Crown Ltd #114) Written By Marvin Griffin & produced/engineered by Neal Hemphill The Birmingham Spirituals ‘New thing going around’ / ‘Talk about Jesus’ (Crown Ltd. CL BS 119) feat. W. Thomas, S. Rogers & L. Thomas (purple label) And the 2 soul cuts I know of; Pat & the Neurotics 'I like the way you do your things' / 'St. James In Firmory' (Crown Ltd # 113) Written by Daniel Peterman, produced/engineered by Neal E. Hemphill. Bobby Dobyne & the Barefacts 'Hold on, I'm coming' / 'Soulful sound of music' (Crown Ltd #120) Produced by Hal Hodgens, engineer is Gaston Nichols So immediately, I'm seeing the Neal Hemphill connection between the Pat & the Blind Billy sides.....awesome!

Rare gospel northern soul....I've still got to find any solid info on this 45! I know that it's written by Marvin Griffin & produced/engineered by Neal Hemphill.....possibly performed by Marvin too. I'm aware of the Bobby Dobyne & Pat & the Neurotics sides for Crown Ltd, plus I have a few other gospels too. But I've had this record now for a while, and haven't heard mention of it anywhere else. If it is an unknown, then what do you think? Cheers!

Fantastic when stuff like this comes together!! Brilliant reading.......

Bob Hopkins Orchestra 'Funky from the get go' (El Toro) VG++ (small center label tear on side 1. Original white sleeve signed by Bob Hopkins and some talk about the recipient needing to hear this 45) Price in US DOLLARS = $60.00 + delivery from California Killer instro take of the Herbie Williams penned cut..... https://www.divshare.com/download/20636168-14d

There's very little to go on with regards to the label, mate.....I'm gonna guess it would be sometime near the Eddie Floyd release which would be 1968. I'd say between 1970 and 1972, but I've nothing concrete to back that up.

Eli told me that he's performing with Roscoe this weekend....really wish I could be there for it. He said he's never seen this 45 before, and that he was gonna play the clip I sent him a while back to Roscoe. Turns out it really is a rare'un!!

Please PM to reserve. Thanks! Johnnie Morisette with Jenelle Hawkins Sextette 'I'm hungry' (J & J) VG+ (a couple of scuffs, tiny intro groove repair which DNAP) Killer LA funk rarity, and dare one say a Deep Funk classic. Please check the clip of the copy on offer. Price in US DOLLARS = $350.00 + postage from California Clip from the copy on offer.....https://www.divshare.com/download/20156442-0af

I'll happily entertain offers on this 45 if anyone thinks the price is off the mark.......cheers!

For set sale.....delivery will be from California The New Heavenly Wonders 'Ain't no love "like Jesus love"' (Soul-tan) M- Price in US DOLLARS = $500.00 Killer Roscoe Robinson related rarity...probably his rare-ist and most obscure disc to locate. Marvelous harmony 45 that tips a healthy nod to Eddie Floyd's 'I've never found a girl'. I originally scored 2 copies of this late last year, and my VG spare got bid up to $500 on my private list...this copy is mint minus and featured in the youtube clip, so figured I'd set sale at the same price. Please PM to reserve, thanks!

Thanks alot for checking the channel....return subscribed so looking forward to sifting through your uploads!
