Any idea how the french Googa Mooga and the canadian Stone release tie in timewise? Discogs says 1968 for both and the first issue on Ashford.

Gilly's book was published in I think early 2021. And what a damn fine read it was. Or still is.

If you don't mind a bit of DIY here's an excellent and very cheap alternative to any of those bulky 100+ 45s bags: https://floriankeller.net/perfect-cheap-45-bag/ I made two bags like that myself and am still very happy with them.

Wow. Up till now I didn't know it was actually released. Only knew it from the Jukebox 45.

You're sure it's not the M.B.'s (As in Modern Blues Sounds) on B-Jet?

Very likely to me that Charly lists Levanna as an artist just due to technical reason (website database), e.g. Discogs lists compilers like Ady C as artists as well. Levanna/Abby and her mom wouldn't be the first one or even currently the only ones trying to exploit the scene financially would they?

Wanted: Tail Feathers - Now Ain't That Love/That's The Way It's Gonna Be - Uptite 252 Must play fine, either label variation fine with me. Please PM me. Thanks!

Honestly, I don't believe you. Maybe you got some dates mixed up. Make up your mind was first as 100 club 45 in September 1998. Do you really think it's possible they got hold of the 100 club 45, dubbed it for their bootleg in the same year? Highly unlikely. Brooklyn Born is Rich Rosen.

As english isn't my first language I'm prone to mishear english lyrics. Like you it sounds like "Is it jane" to me. But it wouldn't make sense. Anyone care to explain who's Jane?

The unsold stock haul was first and yes sold via Rich Rosen in 1997/1998. Few months later Rich started to list these infamous pressings of Kissi Jacobs, Johnny Watson and probably many others I can't remember right now. The Ringleaders, Towanda Barnes and San Francisco TKOs bootlegs turned much later.

How about Exciters "Blowing up my mind"? No need to quote, there are plenty of lines in these lyrics that could make one smile. Anyway, my favourite line "It's almost like eating beans by the pound. Then wrapping up in adhesive tape from the waist down"

If that makes you smile, how about if infact they're saying "part one, and part two, and part three if we have the time" 😉

This record deserves to be treated like an expensive painting. Frame it, hang it up a wall. And leave it there. 😉

Wow, many great tunes posted so far I don't wanna fill up this thread with even more YT vids so I just list my favourite 2023 tunes: * Lee Fields - Waiting on the sideline - this was already mentioned, probably my #1 for 2023. Great lyrics, melody and backing track. A lovely gem. * Both of Julian Jonah 45s on Izipho * Gary Beals on LRK - not to keen about the a-side "all of me", backing a bit too odd for me but the flip "self revolution" is a strong slowie. * Night Owls - Didn't I - great reggae take on the Darondo Pulliam classic * Thee Marloes - Every 45 by them. Soulful Indonesia * Carmichael Musiclover on LRK - Strong doublesider, only way to get on vinyl I understand, A-side quality mid to uptempo 90s sounding dancer, B-side great ballad * Latasha Lee - I don't want you - already mentioned, quality cover version of the Lovelites. * Emilia Sisco - Trouble - midtempo crossover-ish sounding from Finland * Sextones - get their "Love can't be borrowed" LP on Record Kicks! No fillers, just killers.

Paul, you're qualified as a bonafide "Waldorf and Statler" Northern Soulie. Times are changing. Get over it.

He might be a prick. But he's right on one thing. Your bid is binding. He could even sue you.

Very sad news. Max was the very first UK DJ I ever heard here in Munich. Sometime early 90s. I clearly remember him for the excellent music and until then he was the first guy I ever saw wearing sweatpants in a night club 😁

Thanks, understood. So I guess it's just a question of time until I can get Eddie Parker on MAM for a tenner 😁

That was 30 odd years ago. But Steve mentioned "other types of soul music" and I was wondering to which he was referring.
