Todays Cheapies, Tomorrows Big Money Records
Tommy Rodgers - Spread the Word was listed by Anglo American for £25 just 2 years ago and has been steadily rising since. I wouldn't be surprised if that ended up as an expensive record.

Misleading Beginnings
A post from Chalky a few months ago gave the line up of the Fantastics:
-
Misleading Beginnings
I like it too, just named it as a misleading example. I like the start of Painted Smile too.
-
Misleading Beginnings
I wasn't suggesting anything wrong with repeating, I was just thinking it funny that the same record could both be the prime example of a misleading beginning and an abrupt ending.

Misleading Beginnings
We had a thread on sudden endings a few months ago, prompted by Behind a Painted Smile if I remember right.

Gladys Knight - No One Could Love You More

Misleading Beginnings
I like misleading intros, here's a couple: The Fantastics - Me and You Hollywood Flames - Dance Senorita Also, That Beatin Rhythm was misleading too once upon a time.

Darrell Banks - Open The Door To Your Heart 2014 London
It's an absolutely fantastic find, but I wonder whether worldwide collectors (other than ex-pats) share our excitement.

Press The Repeat Button
At the moment for me it's The Natural Resources - If There Were No You, on the great Kent 'Dore LA Soul Sides' CD.

Jazz Funk
I liked Hubert Laws - Chicago Theme from that era. Probably a lead balloon now,

Jazz Funk
Haha, very funny way of putting it. Personally, I quite like Waterbed on hearing it now, had filed it away as rubbish many years ago,,

Creations-Say Say Baby Info
Say, Say Baby came out some years ago the Marginal (Belgian) CD: Detroit Rare Tracks Vol.3. Bootleg label I think, quite widely distributed and copies sometimes come up on ebay etc. .

Help With A Record
Could it be The Tropics - Hey Little Girl. It starts with a Whoo Hoo, and the bass line goes Dun Dun Dun (sort of anyway).

One Show BBC
It was only a few years ago that The One Show did another feature on Northern Soul, Did it much better this time. Probably the only reason for repeating the topic so soon was the massive plug for the film.

As they (Velvet Hammer/ Green Berets) are still active it would at least be nice if the association led to more recognition for them,

Classics That Were Sleepers With You
Biggest sleeper for me is Rudy Love - Suffering Wrath. Bought it around 30+ years ago, but relegated it to the loft as too funky, tried it again about 10 years ago and felt the same. Then heard it off Kent CD around a year ago and liked it, then realised: I've got that. One that steadily grew on me, from not liking to being one of my favourites is Fred Hughes - Baby Boy.

Tmg Or Us Original, Which Would You Go For Generally?
A nostalgia thing about UK releases was the excitement of finding something good in a local junk shop or similar, especially if you're old enough to remember the days before imports were common.

Milton Wright On Satiron
If I remember right it was one of his front page records, listed in the same kind of way as the Harthon reissues were.
-
Milton Wright On Satiron
I agree it seems strange for John Anderson to have arranged both releases quite close together, but I think it would seem more sensible to have gone with the Satiron one first (which I think was a limited run), then follow it with Grapevine, rather than the other way round.
-
Milton Wright On Satiron
The label on the Grapevine one says 1976. I bought the Satiron one from John Anderson when he listed it, and I think that was before the Grapevine one came ought. Presumably a few hundred of the Satiron one pressed?. I don't think it would have made sense to get the Satiron one pressed up (with Rolling Stone vocal on the flip, that no one was interested in at the time) after the Grapevine one was issued with the popular instrumental (Gallop) on the flip.

Quality Control (Or Lack Of It)
Yes great track. I'd guess it was left in the can because they were being pushed for a poppier sound like Pin A Tail, Martian Hop (!).

Northern Tracks That Don't Fade Out
Dee Dee Sharp - Deep Dark Secret. Crashing intro and abrupt ending.
