For sale: EDWIN STARR - I JUST WANTED TO CRY - GERMAN TAMLA MOTOWN SOLD £80 including 'signed for' post worldwide! The one everybody's looking for. No 45 release anywhere else in the world. Rarely turns up with the original picture sleeve. 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

I bought the download MP3s. Well pleased. $7.50 for all the songs is more than fairly priced. And just to point it out: the Gloria Jones take of Gone With The Wind is NOT the stereo extendend version that came out on Joy Boy. Completely different versions. PS: wouldn't mind an instrumental take of any of the McFarland's versions

Len, note my spelling it's just the oldest post with "OVO" that dates jan 2005. Respective thread is actually about a flyer stating "OVO" and Mike asking what "OVO" stands for.

The oldest post I could find mentioning "OVO" dates back to january 2005....

Are you guys seriously turning a tongue in cheek freebasing thread into another OVO vs pressing discussion?

:lol: :lol: re. OVO: sounds like a disease, like "i just go diagnosed with OVO"

George smith lovely!

Fully agree apart from Cee Lo bit.

sorry to hijack this thread. but i was wondering if it's UK only on 45? I know it didn't make it on US 45...

of all three versions this is the best one IMHO.

Some tunes are so obvious blue-eyed, it always puzzles me that some folks are surprised when told the artist is say caucasian and not afro-american. Other tunes e.g. Tony Galla do "sound right" so much I was quite shocked when I first saw who sang it (not that I didn't like it any longer after that)

The Seminoles - Cheatin' heart - Hi-Lite Are there any other versions of this song? Or was it released under a different artist name? Heard it via the web last night. I'm sure I've heard it before but not credited to the Seminoles... Anyone? TIA

Rare german picture sleeve... (and as it happens I have a spare for sale:

For sale: Five Du-Tones- Shake a tail feather - German President (with Picture Sleeve!) £20.00 Very hard to find german President issue (1968/69?) complete with ultra rare picture sleeve. Only the 3rd copy I ever saw. Highly collectable for anyone into unusual releases from around the world. Record EX, sleeve VG+ Postage £3.00 worldwide, less within Germany. Paypal only. Payment as gift preferred but not required.

Been discussed before, 90 copies pressed. On a side note: 2 of them made it to Munich and ended up with me. I won a copy in the Shades of Soul competition, 2nd copy came a few weeks later from a local funk collector who got it from the Ace/Kent PR department and didn't like the tracks ("not funky enough"). Shrewd business man I am I immediately traded one copy for 50 quid worth of records.

what you mean "this time"? I'm always spot on, it's just you guys don't realize that

minor typo. wasn't sure if exactly 90 copies were pressed so meant to say less than 100. just found out it was exactly 90.

Value was discussed here on Soul Source earlier this year. In the past it sold for up to 300 quid when it was really in demand. Karl Marthon had one for sale a few months ago, offers starting at 100 I think. Don't know for how much it eventually sold. If I'd sell my copy I sure would want at least 150 for it. Less than 90 copies pressed!

Price now reduced to postage free worldwide. Someone's ought to buy it, I need food for the kids

For sale: Paul Kelly - Sweet sweet lovin / Cryin for my baby - Philips 1591 £15.00 Nice strong EX condition. Good midtempo dancer with killer deep soul on flip. Soundclip available on request Postage £3.00 included worldwide. Paypal only. Payment as gift preferred but not required.

Just money sure won't make you a top DJ but it sure would bring you near the top.

I reckon both records to be worth around 25 quid each realistically. But seen both going for much less on Ebay in recent times.

Here are a few euro picture covers. It came out twice in Germany but don't have pictures of either release at hand.

I'm so excited I fall asleep any time soon.

In the end it's just a very very rare label variation of a (IMO) mediocre Northern classic. I doubt that more than a handful of hard core collectors are bidding on it. Something like for instance a proper release copy of Butch's Diane Lewis cover up, now that would be interesting to say the least.
