  1. For sale: Billy Jones - I'll keep holding on/I'm the one - Decca (Germany) - £50 £45 Lesser known german/dutch only mid 70s double sider. This is the rarer german release with the nice looking picture cover. "I'll keep holding on" is a great mid to uptempo dancer whereas the other side is a cool laid back funky one. Check the sound clips! Reasonable priced, have seen it listed for £75-100! Record is EX, please really really fine. Sleeve VG, see scan. Postage: Germany £2.30 Worldwide £3.10 'Signed for' postage is £1.90 extra Paypal only, as gift preferred. Please PM if interested Thanks! Benji
  2. Four randomly picked sleeves from me. I think you don't see them that often do you? 1 german, 1 canadian, 2 US.
  3. Even if that's true a nice colourful issue of Silky Hargraves would look fab in a Dearborn sleeve, wouldn't it?
  4. 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?
  5. 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?
  6. 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?
  7. Sass - I only wanted to love you/Do it - 20th Century 2318 Lovely stepper. Was wondering what's the current going rate? Tried Google but couldn't find anything. Only found the local label issue on San Francisco INS which has a different flip and seems to be worth about $100. Anyone knows how much it's worth? Don't want to sell, am just curious... TIA Benji
  8. I fail to see the comedy sale. A boot of Terrible Tom sells for $17. That's less than 10 quid, isn't it? Where's the comedy in it?

  14. Thanks for your valuable input! Tried to gather all informations about different presses and run-out groove details. My theory is that they used tapes 1823 and 1824 for the testpresses but went for earlier takes (1821 and 1822) for the final release. It would make sense to me tho I don't have any facts to back up. The matrix # are all over the place. e.g. Chalky's Jay & Shufflers matches test press # yet it's a different take. Or Flynny's WD has the same numbers but on the wrong sides. Don't know what to make out of it ... Testpress Benji: run-out on "always be mine" side: CR-1823 16/9/64 ES (looks like a signature) run-out on "when the lights are low" side: CR-1824 ES (signature again) Note: no pressing plant stamp on either side Testpress Sepia: run-out on "always be mine" side: CR-1823 Vinyl issue credited to The Shufflers GarethX: Always Be Mine: CR-1823 in the runout. CR-1824-X-1 (crossed out). Label reads CR-1821 When The Lights Are Low: CR-1824 in the runout. Label reads CR-1822 Shufflers WD Flynny: ABM has CR-1824-X scratched in (label states CR-1821) WTLAL has CR-1823 scratched in (label states CR-1822) Both sides have the Nashville Matrix machine stamp as well. Jay and the Shufflers issue Chalky: Always Be Mine Label states CR-1823. Scratched in the run out is CR-1824 X When The Lights Are Low label states CR-1824. Scratched in the run out is CR - 1823 just before the CR is a very faint 45.
  15. Benji replied to a post in a topic in Look At Your Box
    Used to have it on 45 until I got myself a copy of the album. Don't know if it had plays "on the scene" but it was on an old Kent compilation so it might had some at one time.
  16. For sale: GARY KNIGHT - NIGHT PEOPLE - STARDUST (M-) - £12 Previously unissued uptempo Northern Soul. Most copies on Stardust were withdrawn/destroyed due to a heavy warp. See for more background details. Flipside Belle Benchley - My boy aint bad either! Worldwide postage is £3.10. Within Germany £1.30. Signed for post is £2.00 extra. Paypal only, as gift preferred. Please PM if interested Thanks!
  17. It did come out on a 1970s "best of" album. "all his hits plus obscure b-sides" knocked together type of thing. Title and further details escape me now, sorry. It was over 15 years ago that I saw it. Don't know if it ever made it on a regular RCA album
  18. Thanks for the info. Have the Fantasy album myself and basically agree with you. Will try to get a copy of her Chess album. Is it dear? Actually, while writing I realize that I only have two records by her, the album and one of her Rojac 45s "let them talk". Revised new year's resolution for myself: stop smoking get more Kim Tolliver records
  19. Finished hour 3 this afternoon. Have to say I definitely have not wasted 3 hours of my life by listening to this podcast. It was entertaining, some parts educating and some parts just entertaining. Nice to hear he kicked off with Tony Bruno. I knew he was desperately after a copy, good to hear he finally managed to find a copy. I'm sure he's going to play it at the 100. I know Levine is a red rag to many. His ego caused many internet kerfuffles over the years, starting with the ancient mailing lists like KTF or his own "advanced northern soul". Try to listen without prejudice and don't expect every track to be a complete mind-blower (even if IL says it is). You'll enjoy it, I certainly did.
  20. I'm only aware of the Kim Tolliver LP she did as Kimberly Briggs on Fantasy (after she married Freddy Briggs) and there's no track titled "i'm losing the feeling". Did she record another LP?
  21. and Carl Davis
  22. Hopefully quick sale: Dorothy Morrison - I can't go without you - Brown Door (EX-) - £60 Can supply scans and audio clips by request. Worldwide signed for postage is £5.00. Within Germany £2.30 Paypal only, as gift preferred. Please PM if interested Thanks! Benji
  23. Thanks for the replies. I agree, the subtle differences might be not that audible when playing the audio clips but they there for sure. Can somebody with an issue copy post up the matrix # details?
