Platters 81

instant heartbreak - precisions - test press 13252 refosoul interesting this..5 rpm slower than the Drew release.got it off Tim A 10yrs ago.(dream girl is the same).which makes you wonder that was how it was meant....so back off 5 on the Drew release...let me know

Reggie Lamont......great doublesider...."call on the one who needs you".....rare 45

would be nice to hear a clip of the Jonathan Smith "Dr Love"...

re Charles IV.. just got the tape measure out and its an 8" (he said proudly )..mines got "the girl next door" on the other side......theres a slower version by Jonathan Smith which was reviewed by Soul Sam in an old Manifesto i'm told...i remember Tim A had both......i had one and Sam had the other i recall...they sound like the Dynamics to me (particularly TGND).....

Dr Love - charles iv - capitol 10" 13153 refosoul lil clip

Alf was a lil darling..........

theres some excellent non 45 tracks on the album..."sitting pretty"........"sugar baby"......"my baby".....

thank all for advice......what dilution do u use on the bleach Gene?

ive got a George Smith 10" acetate of 6 tracks ("ive had it" + 5 which appear unreleased ballads )....trouble is it isnt in the best of shape (bit hissy and crackly)....is there a way to improve the sound quality..(ive tried soap and water)."skimming" sounds a bad idea on an acetate...?

she's gone - jerry g +co - clevetown 13072 refosoul i like my pop/garage....last one i saw was on Craig Moerers site.......$40

Do it with Soul - sonics (feat becky bower) - copyright Huey Meaux prod.....great version.....

stamped MR....

The Popsike scan looks an original West Coast......scratched in delta matrix 52623X...+ MR..........

I'm so jealous - otis leavill - dakar 13003 refosoul 70ts version on the flip of "you brought out the good in me"....the sax instr on Samuel Moore is good ..(issued as Chi's Tnts+Embraceable as well)

Pat Lundy......(Columbia stuff....?)

Say it Baby - optimistics - turbo lp 12914 refosoul

let me give you the love you need - willie hutch - rca "soul portrait" lp 12875 refosoul hard to pick one from this marvellous LP...this is this weeks.

i can't believe you've got the nerve to cry - o v wright - backbeat 12849 refosoul on two lps i think..the one ive got is "if its only for tonight"

just checked my copy and its got a hairline crack........ .....plays perfect but the sellotapes out.....

i think the First Choice test press came from Dave Alcocks estate.....there were no label details on it as i remember....i think he got if from Pete Widd originally.....

one of the faces has a different expression on his face on the a side than the b side.....me and Dave Alcock used to laff at this.......

shake your head - spanky wilson - eastbound 12651 refosoul

nice tune this.(written by Abe Tilmon i guess)..
