As RefoSoul is still not up and running again, can somebody help me out with a soundclip of: Daniel Skidmore - Listen to the wind - Parkway (flip to little old groovemaker I think) Don't need a full clip, 30/45 sec one absolutely ok. Please send either by PM or email to: benji(at)muenchen-blau.de (replace (at) with @) TIA Benji

Manship's price is like . Certainly a case of more money than brain cells IMO. 350 max even tho I thought it had peaked @ 300 a year or two ago.

Blue Rock 4087 (WD) Timothy Wilson Love is like an itching in my heart

Rob, it is sung in german but you have a dutch issue, not a german. First issue was german CBS.

EX or better copies sold for 2K at least two times in the last 3/4 years.

don't see anything wrong with that listing. VG+ grade is for the vinyl only and if you play the clip you'll hear it really plays fine.

It looks cool but it's a home made one.

edit. didn't see Mick's post.

I understand that it's a general rule not to post mp3's apart from sales to avoid any problems at all. Hence a 30 sec clip is a no-no. But to really take down a 30 sec clip is a bit anal IMO. Think it's time to amend the board rules and to allow mp3s of up to 20/30 sec length.

Sometimes records are like London busses. You can't find a copy for ages and then two turn up within a few days. This is the one everybody's looking for. No 45 release anywhere else in the world. This sure has started to dry up especially in playable condition. EDWIN STARR - I JUST WANTED TO CRY - GERMAN TAMLA MOTOWN SOLD £80 including 'signed for' post worldwide! Vinyl VG++, sleeve VG (bit worn but still enjoyable item) Went for £123 on Manship's! PM please to reserve. Payment Paypal only, as gift preferred

it's a bootleg from mid/late 90s. I had one too at the time. I think they came with blank labels originally. It looked so boring that Dave McCadden printed a mock UK TMG label scan in his Soul Galore fanzine for readers to cut out and stick on the record.

Would a irish Probe release be so unusual? I have it on german Probe, ties in with the UK Probe reissue ca. mid 70s. And if they released it over here in Krautsville why not in any other european country aswell? Wouldn't be surprised if it came out in France, Spain, Italy, etc. too

Just spotted this on Ebay, dutch release:

You're right, this isn't one of them. Actually I know of only one collectable* Sammy Gaha release "Thank you thank you" which came out in France and later on in Canada.

I think there can be only one answer - No

Do yourself a favour and use the adjective "written" as in "written by ..." for your description, "wrote by ..." is just plain wrong.

Why should a 2nd press state a different year? Year of copyright was still 1990. Also I'm pretty sure that 1st and 2nd press are indistinguishable. Must have been only a few months or less between them.

seconded. I'll eat my pants if this is a 70s production.

Maybe? But I was more thinking about somebody, e.g. artist, going to a record pressing factory with the master tapes and his own designs for labels and sleeves, etc.

A literal meaning of "private press" could be that it's a non-commercial press, i.e. never meant to be sold just to be given away. But whenever I saw this term used in a record description it actually means what Bob already said, a private press, personally funded, usually by someone who was involved in the production of the record, e.g. artist, producer, or friend/relative of them.

And how about the flip "please don't go". So soulful it hurts. Though in terms of 'danceability' "those lonely nights" is the side to play.

No problem. It's mono though it's some sort of "enhanced" mono giving it a bit of stereo effect. And it's THE Gloria Jones singing! Anyway, what I didn't know and really surprised me is that Jimmy McFarland is a blue-eyed singer.

100% agreement. perfect template for what a Northern track should sound like.

seconded! just treated myself to a copy after I foolishly sold the first one a few years ago.

Never said it's not a full length version. I just said it's not the stereo Rita & Tiaras take. It's by Gloria Jones and in mono.
