Do you guys think it's pointless to ask for a (very) good quality MP3 of Mello Souls? The one I have is of rather low quality but the only one I got hold of and WCMI is sure one of my alltime favourites...

Thanks a lot, I got a white demo but I think I'm safe on that, isn't there a stamp or something? Was it booted on issue as well?

I used to have it on a styrene Vault white demo, record was m- yet it played loud but with some sort of distortion.

Can somebody please enlighten me about the differences between original 45 and bootleg 45 of Gene Chandler's I can take care of myself? Has it ever been booted on a white demo? TIA Benji

Seconded. Pure Northern Soul, one of my alltime favourites.

and the year before last year, and the year before the year before last year ....

He's mentioned here as well /index.p...st&p=939557 real name Joe Giattano

Dick Hafner - fantastic Pop beat ballad. I like that sort of dramatic big band backing track stuff. But compared to George Freeman it's poo

It's not on Whittier but on Chattahoochee by the Four Winds and it is awful! don't know about that Dick Haffner version, is it any good?

Yes but the person selling on Ebay (Brooklynborn, forgot his real name) is connected to Rich Rosen in a way. That was confirmed when the Johnny Watson repros came on the market. By the way, who was "the guy from Cumbria" mentioned earlier that flogged the first copies for over a grand?

I'd thinks so too, but it appears that some so called collectors know FA apart from the difference between 7" and 12" records.

Here's a quote from Dave Rimmers JW discography: Valise 6915 - Is This The Real Thing / Give A Damn - 1998 Although originally recorded some years earlier, these singles were unreleased until the late Nineties when the label owner was persuaded to press copies up for the Northern Soul scene.

ok, but this is a demo???

Thanks a lot!

Tony et al: it's not on to quote and discuss prices in this thread, this is "Wants" and not "Look at your box".

Hi everybody, need some quick valuation for a record deal that will take tomorrow morning. Can somebody please give me realistic values for: Chris Clark - From head to toe - UK Tamla-Motown 624 (VG+ condition, sticker on flip) Charlie Romans - 24h service - Hickory W/D (original, EX condition) Is about 30-40 quid each fair? TIA Benji

Uptite is NYC (the yellow label that had Tail-Feathers on) (The "Superlatives" Uptite label was Philly as far as I remember...) You remember right, thats why I added yellow label that had the Tail-Feathers on... Yeah I forgot that, there were two different Uptite labels. The "Superlatives" one was Jersey (not Philly), the other one ("Tail-Feathers" and "Ronnie Goodson") were NY. I mixed them up as both labels had releases in yellow and blue. Then there was 3rd Uptite label (e.g. "125th St. Candy Store") which I don't think was connected to the other two, at least the numbering system doesn't fit in.

Uptite is NYC (the yellow label that had Tail-Feathers on) (The "Superlatives" Uptite label was Philly as far as I remember...) Unart is not the same label, its a subsidary (am not too sure about that but you're probably right) Tac-Ful I believe to be NYC thru the Roosevelt Grier connection (hew as from NYC, wasn`t he ?) (Tac-Ful is Hollywood, Cal. At least that what it says on the label) Jet Set was NYC...maybe people get confused because of the Eddie Singelten/Washington connection...? (Andy Rix' article on Shrine mentions that E. Singleton leased some tracks to Jet Set, that being another local DC label, doesn't it?)

50 Max IMO. Came out at least in USA, Canada, Netherlands and Germany because I've had or seen copies from those countries. Not rare at all just sought after

hm, never really took noticed of who wrote my fave tunes but will do in the future. Not in soul music, but in general the best songwriters were Bacharach/David. Period.

I know nobody was ignoring me intentionally but was simply a bit pissed off that other (IMO pointless and/or boring) threads have 100s of replies. Anyway, thanks for the confirmation of value. Am thinking about posting it in the sales section but would like to put a realistic price on it first, don't want to put it up for offers unless I really don't know what it's worth.

Fantastic list! yet I found some entries that might be not correct: goldwax (Memphis) Jet-set (D.C.) MGM (LA?) Spokane (Detroit?) Tac-ful (California) Tangerine Record Company (TRC) (pretty sure it was West coast based) Unart (same as United Artists) United Artists (pretty sure this was West Cost based as well, at least UA itself was from Hollywood) Upfront Uptite (Philly? or DC?) wayout (ohio? Or is this a different way out label) What do you think?

I'm happy that they ignored the result from the vote as otherwise I would have missed some brilliant footage of WC and wouldn't know what it was like. I know loads has been written about the Casino but a picture's worth a thousand words as they say..

thanks for the info. do you think 10-20 is the market value for a demo? searched the internet and I did find all sorts of prices for demos, from 75 (vg+) to 175 (m-). But I dont know if it actually sold for these prices...

alright, I give up. 42 views and not one fu**ing single reply. Seems like I'm under a "no reply to that krautsville bloke" spell or so Guess I would have 100s of replies had I asked which oldies you like to listen to while having a dump...
