Easy to find on german Capitol. Copies for less than a fiver on Ebay.

If Paul can't find it, I can do a scan tonight. Looks a bit gruffy bit as a bonus it's signed by Mike & Ray.

surprised Tony Sherman is still there. Fair price for such an uplifting tune.

Some copies of the Delacardos - She's the one on Atlantic play Ad-Libs - Think of me.

I'd be with you guys if it wasn't for that "predominantly" bit in the question. I listen to all sorts of quality music yet predominantly 60s and 70s soul.

If all british soul 45 sellers would stop selling on Ebay, the number of bootlegs, counterfeits, illegal 2nd issues and carvers would drop by 100%. The number of worthwhile US originals wouldn't drop significantly IMO.

numbers been disconnected since 2006

Will it have again fabricated quotes from collectors and dancers?

Noticed this morning that the record is slightly warped. Doesn't affect play at all in any way but it's there. Have amended price.

I bet you'd still get somebody asking if it's a bootleg.

It looks like the first bootleg from the 1970s. So I guess it actually is one. Seller got plenty of other boots for sale. Many jamaican ones as Bob said. Anyway, I'm sure this beauty will fetch $$$. I don't think I've ever seen it before!

Still very in demand record. No 45 release anywhere else in the world. Almost impossible to find now. EDWIN STARR - I JUST WANTED TO CRY - GERMAN TAMLA MOTOWN SOLD £80 £65 including 'signed for' post worldwide! sleeve VG+, Vinyl EX, slight warp (definitely not affecting play at all, doesn't jump, you can't hear it, you only see it) PM please to reserve. Payment Paypal only, as gift preferred

Bonus 45 only available to first 500 boxes and already sold out. So I guess more than 500 boxes already gone.

Somebody calling himself "Alan Godfrey" just sent me a request to add him on Podcast. Too much of a conincidence. The c*nt is probably on Soul Source.

Well, it says "soulfulrecords.com" on the label of the bootleg. www.soulfulrecords.com sells an awful number of pressings. A certain Mr Alan Godfrey from Bridgend is registered (Lookup whois.com for all details), therefore safe to assume he runs the site. Also, a Mr. Alan Godfrey from Bridgend is among the Ebay sellers of the Combinations bootleg, his id is "soulful-records12" or so, and again sells an awful number of bootlegs. So there might be a link? Some may remember that back in 2007 a bootlegger was raided, counterfeit records and CDs worth thousands and thousands were seized (there's a thread about that somewhere on Soul Source). Name of the bootlegger was Alan Godfrey from Wales. Coincidence? Might be completely wrong tho....

There RCA UK dubs of Tony Hestor. Same kind of dubs as the ones that made it on Grapevine eventually. Did RS play them off original acetates or of said dubs?

Sorry, I don't like it. Mediocre and amateurish. Doesn't go anywhere. Not very talented singer and a rather dull backing. Wouldn't be surprised if this was very rare.

Thanks Chalky!

Link fixed.

Ah, Joey DeLorenzo! Fantastic Northern record to dance to.I love it and always will. Never went to the Dome myself but heard Flynny spinning it quite a few times all over Europe. Always filled the floor to capacity. I remember all those rumours and conspiracy theories flying around in Northern Soul internet back then. "Levine tailormade production", "recent press" etc. Best one was a guy who insisted it is an unissued Kevin Rowland cut from the Dexys days (tho it sounds a bit like him doesn't it?)

OCD (Original CD only) question: I have volume 1 and 2 of "Prevue Soul on CD" from 1990/1991. Nice collections of new indie soul productions incl stuff like donald alber "hardes part" or brotherly love "whole lotta you in me". I'm thinking about selling them but was wondering, are they worth anything? Do people collect original CDs?

??? Harold Melvin was the a lead singer.

Pic or it didn't happen

very sad news. one of my alltime favourite artists. went to see him live twice. both gigs were exceptional. such a humble yet larger-than-life man. R.I.P.
