The Most Miserable Record Dealer
Richard Domar, being from a relatively 'privileged' middle- class medical family, I believe was given the freedom to pursue a career as a professional dealer, which probably contributed to his particularly insular approach. I remember his late father welcoming me on a number of occasions, before Richard 'greeted' me in his own special manner and led me up to the smoke filled lair of a room, full of constantly on tv's and vcr's recording different channels, in constant want of daylight, then I would be privileged to spend time going through the shelves at Domar Towers before bringing in a bunch of tunes to finalise business dealings. He could be extremely difficult, especially by phone, and visits could have a very odd atmosphere at times, but I think it was a sign of his own anxieties that led to his difficult manner, which definitely seemed mellowed with age. I'm sure he'll pick up on this renewed interest, as he often mentioned reading the posts on SS, most probably incognito in 'anonymous' mode. As for a picture, I'm sure someone will have something, for the rest - once seen never forgotten!

John Manship Auction Results 31-7-2013
Agreed. Decent doble sider but not a £300 quid tune - in fact one went on Ebay a couple of days before for £100 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-D-ABRAM-DOCTOR-OF-LOVE-REENA-1028-PINK-LABEL-MINT-45-BW-LET-ME-TELL-YOU-WHAT-/400533274947?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item5d41a4c143

Hi Micha, when are closing offers on this one?

Information Please - Obscure 70's Dancer?
Absolutely, perhaps :-), I don't know myself given a lot of tracks I listen to given the various tags! Just something about it that I like - maybe the blue eyed funk/soul style of a slightly earlier period. Still seems worthy of a look given it's credentials - former Immediate Starlet, rare 'B' side, UK only etc etc...

Information Please - Obscure 70's Dancer?
Hi People, I was digging around in some UK 45's and came across the track below. I was going to put this straight up for sale but it's got under my skin so I'd like to find out if anything is known about it - all the usual if, when, where, opinions etc.. It seems to be a pretty rare UK only funky 70's soul dancer - best description I can come up with! Released in 1974, with a distinct nod to Stevie Wonder, by the lady who recorded the original of Dusty's "Goin' Back" on Immediate. Google retrieves - at least for me - only one direct reference to the 45 release of which this was the flip. It may well be a Marmite tune, but I'd be very interested for any input.. Thanks in advance..

Payment by PayPal ('Gift' or add fee) / Bank Transfer ------------------------------------------------ BLACK SUGAR - Too Late - Sono / [VG] ......... £125 SOLD Updated: I've taken another look at this and noticed an indentation in the vinyl.

A New Version Of Lou Pride Im Coming Home In The Morning ?
So very NOT better imho.. The original has power, immediacy and real drive - a tune you never forget the first hearing - familiarity breeding contempt me thinks.. and if preferring the original in this case is being in the fishbowl then I'm swimming happily >(((((">
-
A New Version Of Lou Pride Im Coming Home In The Morning ?
Each to their own, but not for me. Lacks the musicality and intensity of the OG - a bit like listening to a repetitive clunky steam train backing the vocal with the horns relatively absent. IMO only of course.

Jm Mystery Auction
Not sure what you're hearing in the sax break but there's nothing 'wet' about it imo - just a dirty, gritty lo-fi piece of raw soul - with respect maybe a blast of 'Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street' is more up some people's street G.

Gogo Children Bristol June 1St
Nice to see this version getting a deserved spin - seems to be ignored in favour of it's more elusive and much more expensive later release..

Vonciel Myers, It Won't Be Easy On Gaynote Records
There is two on the Bay - but both on the heavy side price wise at the moment (one at $999 and the other at $599) but it's a nice tune with quality and may well creep back up again in value..
