Soulettes fantastic but way too fast for dance floor action IMO. Haunting tune.

Art project by artist Adele Retter. The clue is in the URL. Pretty obvious to me. And well presented. Some of you obviously didn't get that. Must be an age thing 😉

very sad news. He passed away on Sep 26: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/olivette-mo/jason-koenig-10379451

Thanks. Makes sense

Didn't know the record shown in the scan (Cherry Slush - I cannot stop you) came out on Prophonics Coconut Groove. I only knew of it as a USA release. It also came out in Germany. I wonder where they licensed it from? USA? Surely not from Prophonics Coconut Groove

It's a great double-sider. For me Sherilles side wins. What a tune. Gets better with every play.

as far as I know dimples in the vinyl can have two reasons. Either the stamper was faulty, then all copies would have the very same dimple(s) at the very same spot. Or inferior quality vinyl was used. Then dimples may have resulted from dust or something like that in the hot vinyl. As some of you have fine copies and others haven't I guess second reason is appropriate. On the other hand, if all faulty copies have dimples at the very same spot then there were two presses. One with a matrix from a fine stamper. One with a matrix from a faulty stamper.

Demos and test pressings of new releases are giving the buyers a fake feeling of exclusiveness IMO.

Only tiny little bit similar in parts IMO:

Thanks. Didn't know there were orig 12". Only recall the represses from back then.

12 inch is the dearlove repress.

Picked up many bargains on Ebay over the years but there's one that I always remember about 20 years ago. One morning before going to university I logged on Ebay, looked at the 45 listings. There was a french Seven Souls - I still love you, buy-it-now €2, with pic sleeve, listed just 2 min before. Of course I bought it. Turned out seller was living close to me in Munich. Picked it up the same day on my way to a soul do. Sold it same night for €250.

I too thought the 45 came with the LP. But it was discussed here on SS not too long ago. There's no documented evidence the 45 was handed out with the LP.

I just checked on Popsike. 4 Larry Allen copies since May 20, different sellers. All four figures in $. One L. Allen copy, again four figures. So JM price is not that far off.

Norma Jenkins was pressed in the 80s or 90s. And comp'd a couple of times. so it had exposure to some extent.

sorry, not a good record IMHO. wouldn't play it out. the sweet flip is awesome.

thanks for the tip. It's not even listed there. Which confirms that it is indeed pretty rare. But doesn't really help me with getting a fair value for it. Last documented sale on Popsike for a Brownstone 45 was in 2018, 211 GBP. No Brownstone sale after 2018 on Popsike or Discogs.

No one??

I disagree. It's a nice version. But pretty obvious the song is not in his favourite vocal pitch if you know what I mean. It just doesn' t really suit him.

Proven rarity on Accent's sub-label Brownstone. But haven't found any document sale for a copy on Accent. Anyone any idea of value for an Accent 45? Many thanks!

Only record I wouldn't set sale but put on auction is Una Valli.

First heard "listen to me" when Guy Hennigan played it on a Great Yarmouth weekender radio show, 90/91-ish. Covered as by the "Flights of Fantasy". Took me years to find out to what it was the b-side....
