I think the Red Point release is German.. https://cgi.ebay.de/7-DWIGHT-THOMPSON-MY-WOMAN-IS-CALLING-MAN-OH-MAN-/390261451247 Greg.

I agree with Jordi as well Chris.. The more rare version and the better one imo but you don't get the sublime 'You're An Uplift' on the flip as with Bobby Shannon. Must be £75 - £100 worth.

Hi Gary The US Columbia releases (issue / demo) are the same cut as far as I am aware. Best Greg.

The Paradox release is extremely rare and would command a very high price, the Volt issue doesn't turn up often at all so will still be a £350 + record imo, and of course the demo, which is available at around £30 doesn't have 'Can You Win' . Good luck with it and if you get a spare give me a shout Regards Greg.

Hi Gary Decent thread on this one here: ATB GReg.

Hi Greg Do you have any background on the band members? The lead sounds astonishingly like the guy from 'The Blind Boys Of Alabama' who did the theme tune of Tom Waits penned 'Way Down In The Hole' for The Wire on HBO Thanks Greg.

It wasn't Moerer who had the biggest result on this it was Sebastian and I'm sure he didn't expect the $200 plus it fetched back in summer - problem is, as Kev says, not everyone is as as savvy and knowledgeable.. ATB Greg.

Point taken absolutely Dave - before our US buddy produced the the Four Tracks batch it was indeed a mighty rare and sought after tune - many more examples; Clara Hardy., Royal Esquires etc. I was just trying to make the point that sometimes previously very commonly available tunes can become more difficult to source by virtue of their demand in the wider community. ATB Greg.

I agree with you that sheep like behaviour is a unimaginative in general but I genuinely believe this is just a case of people being exposed to a good cheap record and wanting a copy. Many examples of sheep like behaviour that are far more unimaginative imo like the constant stream of people lining up to buy the Four Tracks on Mandingo at the prices it fetches given the number of copies that have become available. Just my opinion mind Greg.

Agreed Chalky; not difficult to source but becoming more difficult. There were literally piles of copies up until 12 months or so but they have quickly disappeared. You can still get a copy but there's a definite trend - something similar to what happened with Charles Allen on Greedy which I've just seen go for £175 on the Bay! Best. Greg.

I think it's been booted 3 times Swifty; as above and a vinyl copy with a maroon label and silver lettering. Greg.

It's a tune that's seen a lot more interest in the last 12 months or so and is getting more difficult to source..

Matt the nail on the head is hit matey! Wally Coco is up my strasse but compared to Ann Sexton - It's All Over But the Shouting or some of the beauties by Candi Staton on Fame it is a pale comparison. Plenty of 45's that need more exposure in this vein that hit the QC button! Greg.

Nobody comes close! But that's a different thread - even section - in itself

Afternoon, Trying to track down the LP that includes 'Since I've been Born Again' mentioned by Godzilla in the "Tips 2011' thread - Is it on a Checker LP release by Martha Bass (may be "Martha Bass" - "Rescue Me" - "Checker 10048" it doesn't appear on any of her other albums I can locate) or is it a previously unreleased track that appears on the Soul Jazz compilation Soul Gospel Vol. 2? TIA Greg.

As long as you're running it on the mains adaptor then it sounds like the belt has degraded a bit.. Plenty of belts available on the Bay.. If that doesn't work then it needs to be stripped and cleaned to make sure the drive runs freely.. Greg.

Another brill tune that deserves wider exposure. BTW Do they all come with the H2O damage labels..

Thought so Dave. The Volt issue is tuff but the Paradox issue must be rare as chuck chuck teeth!

This has been a Butch spin on the Northern scene up until now? But now it's getting more exposure, you lucky man Steve ;-) I agree it deserves to be appreciated widely Brilliant flip as well! Greg.

New to me and very welcome addition. Nice. Shirley Caesar - Stand The Storm - audio

No surprise at that Ted.. Very well priced imho

The LP goes for about £25 - £40 so the ebay copy was well priced imho

The record for sale on Pat's site is The Ideals 'Mighty Lover' not the Mighty Lovers 'Aint Gonna Run'

Not my idea of fab record but each to their own.. My cup of cha it's not but might be popular with that 'Beach Scene' crowd and the Belgian Popcorn type. Regards, Greg.

Just read this from the youtube for Chester St. Anthony post Mal which suggests your hunch is correct: "Out of Los Angeles and released in May of 1965, this soulful tune sounds like Motown meets Phil Spector. It is none other than L.A. based in-house Motown songwriter, FRANK WILSON singing over a smooth, finger-snapping 'Wall Of Sound' arrangement by former TEDDY BEAR and Phil Spector associate, Marshall Leib. Recorded at Hollywood's legendary Gold Star Studio with it's unique echo chamber wide open." ATB Greg. PS Nice price on the Gino Washington Pete.
