White is the demo. Issue is bright pink. At least that was my understanding. Any very light pink-ish ones indicate that demo labels were printed right after the pink issues and they didn't clean the printing machine properly. Or something to that effect.

M.R. is a different song.

Flushing the loo 10 times for no reason is less waste of time than reporting a bootleg to Ebay.

Wanted: Brotherly Love - Whole lotta you in me - Robinson & Son 7" Must be at least EX. Please PM. Thanks!

Lorraine, I don't know if this was asked before. If it was, I missed it, sorry. Can you tell me anything about Mike & Ray - If only you knew/Private world of my own on Giant 706? I think it's a fantastic record but like the Sandpipers it's certainly not what one would call a soul record. Do you know how this came about? And what audience this was aimed at? I think the backing is pretty strong and has that certain "Detroit" sound even if it's basically only acoustic guitars. Thanks! Benji

Brian, to me, he sings "bring it to you soul" in both videos. They sound like the same record. Only difference the record in the 2nd video plays faster, just a bit. But nevertheless faster.

There sure is some demand for the euro issues as well. I recall french and italian issues fetching quite some money on Ebay over the last 2/3 years. Not £200 of course but close to three figures Euro in some cases.

Shocking news. I remember meeting him in his house in 1995 like it was yesterday. Brought a few tapes with me and asked me if he could record some of his favourite tunes for me. Instead he handed over his DJ box full of rarities and one-offs and told me to pick out and record whatever disc I want myself. And not to forget your rants on your sales lists, honest and outspoken. You are a true character. Bless you John.

Wish they had put this on their ABC album. Great tune. But probably not the sound they wanted on their album.

If your communication was via Ebay you got the proof that buyer accepted to keep the record. Tell that to Ebay and they will close the case and remove neg feedback.

My mate has the red label Lundy one. Horrible sound quality from what I recall. Maybe it was dubbed from disc. Could both Lundy presses be pressings done because of local demand?

As Dave said, early/mid 90s issue first press. Think it had a much later 2nd press on a different coloured label, black? Was it legal? I don't know. At least it's straight from the master tape like other Soul King releases.
