I get nervous whenever I go to the Post Office sorting centre to pick up record packages and notice them pulling on their rubber gloves................

Ouch. One way to get this thread closed down........

Absolutely Pete. FOlk on SS often post up about extremely rare items coming up for sale - FB on Rouser is quite an event in our exciting little world of rare soul. Reason enough to post something.

Very nice. Up there with their other records.

If it's true Jim, then a couple of questions for you (1) when was the last time you saw it for sale? (2) how come it went for £300 (or thereabouts) on here last time a couple turned up, corrobarated by Soul-Slider who said he had to turn in 3 ton worth of trades to get it 7 years ago and Clarkie sold one for 2 ton cash back then too? Added to which, I think JM had it on his site last year @ £300 which has gone, Steve Jefferies had it at the same price - gone. Paul - like Boba says, it's a tough item and it's worth three hundred sovs mate.

Like I said....................................

Rare record (and top top drawer Chicago group soul IMHO). Couple went off this site last year for £300, or thereabouts. I'm sure there are folk that will pile in saying stuff like "anyone paying more than a fiver needs their head examined", "couldn't give them away back in the day", "I had a boxload and couldn't sell them", "nice record, but not that good" etc etc etc

Not at all, really easy to play the other side, just the wrong other side..........

What about Pete French?

Was indeed big for Dave Flynn at the Dome and then picked up the niter jocks, most notably Kenny Burrell. Was it not originally a USA advert jingle for Kellogs Cornflakes, or was that an apochryphal story?

Never noticed the error of syntax before now, but what a classic misuse of the apostrophe!!

Out of my league price wise, but that seems a good price compared to some frankly lesser 45s (in terms of quality and proven rarity). Hope it finds a good home very soon.

Look to be from early 80s - say, 1983-84ish? Judging by the prices and some of the listings. Guitar Ray @ a fiver - FFS!! Gene Redding "I Need Your Loving" listed as "deep soul" - at what point did it become "crossover"? Really interesting. Thanks for posting.

This was done before I think. If I recall one of the US collectors on here advised that David & Ruben was issued by Warners which has acquired the Linda catalogue to cash in on the Motown/soul sound but, whilst the record was thought to have potential, theiconic intro was cut off because it sounded 'dated' and harked back to the doo-wop era. I can't recall why they changed the name - probably a similar reason, to disassociate the record from a bygone age and because male soul duos were fashionable by then, like Sam & Dave? That's probably a complete load of old horse poo, dreamt up by me. The Rampart issue must be the rarest format by the way?

Other side of Foolish Man is brilliant.

...................and before this topic gets summarily shut down and closed (like my last request) , I know those MP3 things are not permitted on this site (though they appear all over the Sales section all the time), so those could be emailed to me @ markm4soul@hotmail.com (or perhaps sent by PM through here?). Or, any other format would suffice. I just want an idea of what this record sounds like. Oh yeah, the record is the Carbo Brothers "What Can I Give Her" on Cenco. Thanks. Any help gratefully received.

Post removed. MP3s are not currently allowed on site. Regards, Dave

Would have thought this was a reasonably well known oldie? Was it not a Soul Sam c/up and a late Wigan spin, though one of those that became more associated with Stafford?

Sounclips are not the actual 45s offered for sale, but the photos are..........please add £2 for UK postage. Paypal (gift) preferred. Sleepy King - "Lost Man" (Awake) Ex (little label wear) £25 ***** SOLD ***** (this is an absolutely superb mid-tempo tune, all tingly vibes and atmospheric vocals) The Rayons - "You Confuse Me Baby" (Forte) Ex £60 (Hammond driven, funky, girl group number - down and dirty! brilliant!) Carol Jones — "Problem Child"Â / "Don't Destroy Me"Â (Mutt 27320) VG++ £20 (this is the more mid-tempo, funkier version than the one in the clip — sorry, couldn't find the version I needed — this is the better one IMHO, but I've put the other one on to give some idea. Happy to refund if you don't like the version I'm selling when you get it) The Famous Chromes — "Teach Me"Â (Drive) VG++ £30 ***** SOLD ***** (Great record, getting attention — uptempo group vocal dancer with a bit of magic 'funky' dust thrown in) Freddy King — "You're Barkin' Up The Wrong Tree"Â (Federal) Ex £10 (killer R&B) Martha Reeves & The Vandellas — "Show Me The Way"Â (Gordy) Ex £10 (classic Northern) James Galt — "A Most Unusual Feeling"Â (Aurora) VG £15 (a most unusual record! but a great mid tempo, off the wall mover which has I gather been popular on the Mod scene)

Selling Big Don's Rebellion - "It Was True" on a maroon Ethon issue. *****SOLD***** Vinyl is not the cleanest - a few scuffs and some fine surface scratches, but nothing nasty. However, the record plays very nicely. Labels are pretty clean and tidy - see photo below (the YouTube clip is not the copy offered for sale, the photo is though) . As such, I would rate overall as VG+, though in my opinion, it plays at least VG++. £180 including postage within the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65nLA53xalU

I was bidding on this too. Known it for maybe 15 years and always rated it.

PM'd you.
