Would like to know what you guys think about this. About 2002/2003 I compiled a home-made CD called "the unofficial For Modern Millionaires vol. 2" after Goldmine stopped "For Millionaires" series. Apart from a dozen copies or so that I sold @ 5 each at the Nuernberg weekender I gave all other copies away as presents. Tracklisting was: 1 Hamilton Movement She's gone 2 Mind & Matter - Under your spell 3 Rokk - Patience 4 Oggletree Bros - Gonna keep a check on you 5 Differences - Five minutes 6 Aged in Harmony - You're a melody 7 Tierra - Just loving you 8 Tolbert - I've got it 9 Gino Washington - So in love 10 Trace of smoke - Treasure mind 11 Tony Aiken & Future 2000 - Good things 12 Luther Davis Group - Good things 13 Marshall, Donovan & Broomfield - Since I found my baby 14 Executive Force - Midnight lovin 15 Rhythm Machine - Put a smile on time 16 Anna Raye - Will you love my child 17 Wee - Try me 18 Al James & The New Rhythm Band - Give me up or turn me loose 19 Frankie Zhivago - Somebody stole your love 20 2001 Black Essence - Change in my life Earlier today I came across a recently released compilation called "Rare, Collectable And Modern" on the UK Base Camp label. Here's the tracklisting: 01. The Hamilton Movement - She's Gone 02. Mixed Feelings - Sha La La 03. Rokk - Patience 04. The Differences - Five Minutes 05. Ogletree Bros - Gonna Keep A Check On You 06. Aged In Harmony - You're A Melody 07. Tearra - Just Loving You 08. Tolbert - I've Got It 10. Trace Of Smoke Treasure Mind 11. Tony Aiken And The Future 2000 - Good Things 12. Luther Davis Group - You Can Be A Star 13. Marshall Donovan And Broomfield - Since I Found My Baby 14. Executive Force - Midnight lovin' 15. Rhythm Machine - Put A Smile On Time 16. Anna Raye - Will You Love My Child 17. Wee - Try Me 18. Al James And The New Rhythm Band - Give Me Up Turn Me Loose 19. Frankie Zhivago Young - Somebody Stole My Love 20. Alvin Green & Green Fire - The Sun Shines (Every Time You Say You're Mine) 21. The Coasters - Love Is A Funny Thing Out of 21 tracks 17 are also on my CD and almost in the same order. Coincidence? Or did they bootleg my bootleg CD? PS: I also did a "(the unofficial) For Millionaires only vol. 5" which got bootlegged too (only difference being front cover) and sold by somebody who also posts on Soul Source quite regularly, funny isn't it?

Thanks for the info Simon, must be my deaf ears then ...

Don't think it sounded different because of the way it was recorded. Just checked the iPod, it's on Simon Ms Stafford Modern podcast. It definitely sounds different. Unfortunately my own copy is in the storage room so can 't countercheck but I think my version is a bit heavier on the drums and features a guitar playing along in the background. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Bump. Anyone?

Does anyone know if there are two different versions of The Patches - I'm gonna make this world a better place on Phaxx? Heard it recently on a podcast and it sounded a bit different to the one I have (Phaxx #2002). TIA Benji

Thanks Ged. Shows how taste changes over the years, played the soundfile last night and liked it, wouldn't sell it if I still had it.

Is "Almost eighteen" on a pink label? I remember I used to have a rather obscure one by Honey & The Bees on a pink label which I sold about 10 years ago because I thought it was rather mediocre. Now I'm wondering which track it was ...

Ian, is your record glued in the way I described it? I.e. glue in the run-in/-out area but not in the actual playing area on either side?

I know it's possible to repair a cracked record by applying glue to the crack on the flipside. This results in the flip being unplayable. But what is to do if a record has two good sides and I don't want any of them become unplayable? Is it enough to apply some glue to the crack in the run in/-out area only on both sides? What do you guys think?

Do they have different cat. numbers? I have "Night after night" on Crown Ltd. but never bothered to play the flip... Tony, who's that in your avatar? Just curious, I like those glasses

I have two (or maybe three, can't remember) David Sea albums on Magic City, "night after night" isn't on any of them...

Well guys, better get all those knifes blowtorches, stones, ropes, tar and feather ready. Can't find neither Ron Matlock nor Luther on the shelves. This means at one time I considered both to be not that good and put them in my storage room a few miles down the road. To make up for that crime to quality soul music I played a few Gladys Knight and Maxine Brown tracks last night

Thanks Bearsy! Any idea on Brice Coefield? 50-ish??

Hi, what are the current values for: Brice Coefield - Tempted - Madison DJ Silky Hargreaves - Keep loving me like you do - Dearborn ISSUE TIA Benji

Auctions ending tonight...

Auctions ending Sunday night...

Must dig out the Ron Matlock album tonight. Bought it for "You got the best of me" and never really paid attention to the other tracks. Likewise the Luther album, bought for "Don't want to be your fool" and never played the other tracks. Do I deserve a slap on the wrist now?
