Thanks for posting them, Valadiers and Spindletoppers two of my alltime favourite early 60s sounds. BTW, flip of Spindletoppers "hey moon" is nice too.

Right click download works fine for me.

That's correct. Had a handfull of copies over the years and found them all locally. Though the last one I had was about 10 years ago. Nice record but that's it. Nothing really outstanding.

Ending in two days! Dorothy Morrison - I can't go without you - Brown Door https://www.ebay.com/itm/200703839213

Isley bros - work to do and Vibrations - shake it up were pretty popular rare groove/2 step tunes, weren't they?

It was there when I last looked @ 10 quid. Pete, have you removed it from the list?

IMO it's just an error/typo in the listing not a comedy sale.

I only have his "Friends & Buddies" album which I haven't played for years. Your post was a nice excuse to dig it out again. I sure disagree with you re. "keep it up". This may sounds a bit dull at home but once you've heard it booming out the speakers in a club you sure know why there's demand for it. Can't hear any similarities to Stevie Wonder. whereas flipside "silence that you keep" is infact a stevie wonder imitation. What are the tracks of the 2nd 45? Are they off the album as well?

It's a test press or something for the 70's UK reissue on Inferno.

As no deal finalized, it's now on Ebay.

My copies of Masquaders - Same thing and M.B.S. - Another day have been covered up at one time in the past, both have the typical sellotapes in the run-out. Wonder who played them covered up? Have a copy of Mike & Ray - if only you knew signed by them. A few years ago I bought a copy of the Jimmy Witherspoon - Spoon in London on Ebay, described as WOL on cover. Turned out said WOL reads "Best wishes, Jimmy Witherspoon", nice one!

Hi Derek, thanks for the info. "Hello" sounds quite nice if you try to ignore the horrible scratches I think I'm gonna to put it on my "want-it-not-now-but-later-list" I was quite surprised to see they had two releases on that label. I mean, label screams "very rare" if just look at it doesn't it? I wonder which one came first. You can't tell by the cat. no. "another day" is #5822 and "just to say hello" is #12737.

Just came across this: The M.B.S. - Face Facts / Just say hello - B-Jet I have their other release on the same label ("Another day") and was wondering what this one here is like? Is it Soul? Northern? Anyone with a soundfile maybe? Any info much appreciated! Thanks! Benji

To me it sounds like a different mix, vocals more prominent than on the LP. Which is a shame as the brilliant backing gets a bit 'lost' if you know what I mean. The LP take is definitely the one to play at a do.

Val, sorry no. It's italian only isn't it?

Four randomly picked sleeves from me. I think you don't see them that often do you? 1 german, 1 canadian, 2 US.

Even if that's true a nice colourful issue of Silky Hargraves would look fab in a Dearborn sleeve, wouldn't it?

Anyone remember the stuff John Manship auctioned after the big West Coast find? Many records were still in their original mailers. Didn't he auction a Ray Pollard still in its Shrine mailer?

Roger, that Tetragrammaton sleeve, nice one. Haven't seen it before. I once bought a shitty pop record on Dearborn just for the sleeve, record was 99c, postage to Germany was like $7.00. Saw the sleeve and knew I had to have it. How desperate is that? And that sleeve is filed away for at least 10 years because I don't have any Dearborn records to put in it. Anyone with a cheap Silky Hargreaves for me?

Agree with Kev and Bob it's a great record. But it still puzzles me that I couldn't find more info about the 20th Century release. Loads of links to mp3 downloads but hardly any copies for sale. Is it that obscure or am I just unadept to using a search engine?

Thanks. Thought 15 myself.
