Hey Chris, any chance of a track list? For the previous vols as well? I'm playing vol3 as I type and the sounds are sure marvelous....👍

Nope, not ok. Album is original. This is a reissue due to demand from the "Rare Soul Collectors Scene". It shall not be played out loud at any public dance. Yours sincerely, Wachtmeister Benji German Soul Police

Thanks for the info. I guess now it's the people involved in the album that makes it so collectable. Jagger, Oldham, The Nice, Steve Marriott to name a few.

No. Also in Germany, Netherlands, Italy.

I heard of the "withdrawn" story but to be honest I don't believe it. I checked Discogs, 10 copies sold over the recent years and currently 3 copies for sale. If the album was really withdrawn shouldn't it be rarer? However, as you said, there's probably some demand coming from collectors who are into Stones, Small Faces etc. But, back to one of my initial questions, are there any non-45 tracks on it that justify that demand?

UK Immediate copy of PP Arnold - First Lady of Immediate went for over €100 on Ebay earlier today. Thought that was quite high before I checked Discogs to see that it usually goes for much more. What's the story about this album? Why is it so expensive? Rare? Any good album-only tracks on it? Or is it of music historical relevance because of the musicians/writers/producers involved? Thanks Benji

May I use this thread for a simple question coming from a non-english speaking country? WTF are the lyrics about? I don't get it. I think it's an excellent tune. Used to have the UK issue and played it a few times here in Munich for great success. But I never managed to understand what they were actually singing about.....

It is a hard to find record. In my opinion.

So you say, out of x purple vinyl 45s, pressed for RSD in Detroit, 700 were done just for UK market?

@Gogs: you downvoted my post. Why?

I think the point is that Denise will be selling what is left. After RSD. Or at least that's how I understand it. The other day I read any article in a german record collector's mag about Jack White, Third Man Records and his exploits in pressing vinyl records. Very interesting. He did not just set up Third Man Records to release contemporary recordings and re-release rare old records. But also to experiment with how to press records. E.g. there's an LP pressed in clear vinyl with blue liquid inside. How cool is that?

Sorry, but is this a joke? That tune been played to death all over Europe many many moons ago......

It might have been in BR first or as well. But I never had a copy of BR. Once I find the time I'll go up the attic and dig out the copy of SOS with the Volumes pic.

sorry, didn't read all previous posts. But, Tommy Hunt - Cracking up and Get Out? Were they really that massive?

The volumes was in shades of soul I think. Anyway, giveaway was the font used for the Pama copy was the same as on the American arts 45.

I'd say yes.

Get a Discogs.com account, check out the prices it went for there and put your copy up there priced accordingly.

Of course I know both, record and seller. The price is obviously a typo. My post was just a (poor?) attempt to irony. Quite a few posts in this thread are just about a seller making an error in the listing. I tried to make fun of that but obviously I failed.

https://www.discogs.com/de/sell/item/183607227 Fats Domino on ABC for 500 quid. Seller clearly knows FA about Soul 45s

been posted few times before: Mello Souls. Everything else, ignore it

Check out Discogs. It's a pretty accurate indicator for prices most of the times. Based on the sales there I'd say 300 quid max for a w/d.

Steve, like you I can't remember. But a few brain cells tell me, that I bought it from Marc Forrest in the late 90s or early 2k's. Does that ring any bell with you? That swiss reggae shop wasn't in Zurich by any chance. There used to be a shop run by an brit expat....

Ady, did you find the alt version on tape or acetate? I recall Nancy Yahiro once found an acetate of a different mix. Think I got it on CD somewhere.

The last time I checked GB was still part of Europe. Moron.
