Gilly

Hi if yours is the copy with return to BBC library stamped on it in purple in then that's my old 45 maybe

What price would a Queen of Fools ISSUE command uk

Check this one out,Freddie Butler Im not afraid Samo around 2m40sec listen to the strings drop down 3 notes after he sings not afraid,its just so sweet

Our one and only Rod Shard (modernsoulsucks) got a De-Larks for 50p in Wigan record bar if I remember correctly is that right Rod

Where is my cut in this Europe

Gilly and done

For bum notes check these three out,Carlena Weaver Audel (miss note in trumpet break.Little Ritchie Just another Heartbreak (again miss note in trumpet break) and the last for now(need to listen to the acapela of this to pick-up on it Four Tops Just ask the lonely(one word not sung as you might think it should be) flippin brill

If I remember the pressing label was very off centre,as of a few of the Carnival songs were repeated and updated (production)

Kev John is correct never put out as white demo,first release were in red and white and later all red,btw the red/whites is a lot harder to get than a lot of this great labels releases

Im upstairs painting the bathroom door (with no telly)

Sure it was an Alan Day discovery around the time of Up the junction Crewe

Rat race,Gino Washington only 5 made (plastic)

Kev,Mag 7 is one of the best records ever

Thanks for the great response you guys,glad im not the only sad twat around but like you fellows I do love my music,heres a few more Silhouettes when they sing "and maybe someday shell try to return" am I right in thinking the backing singers sing "booooo"? back later got to go for my tea (Nicola said)

Four Gents.Ive Been Trying when the guy sings "so sincerely your gonna love me " or One Gold Piece whe he sings "happiness happiness" and for now S Coleman Age of the wolf at the end she sings "girls keep your distance" on the up,i just love songs that finnish on up notes

Are there parts in songs that make you shiver, it maybe a sax break a word phrasing,or even laughing.I will start with one of mine.Check out Nelson Sanders Im Lonley Rambler (its here on refosoul ) there is an organ comes in trying to sound like chellos it makes me shiver every time I hear it whats yours ?

Remember collecting a yellow London mint demo sold to me at £60 not bad at the time,sadley on the way back I got a £40 speeding fine

Thanks for putting that up Dave,a song to be shared for all soul music lovers

Check out his tv footage when he sings "good times" but for some reason it was never put out,how bizzar

NO ONE TO LOVE no not that one,it is a sweet Motown thing I have on tape and always thought is there a vocal to this,i even wrote some lyrics out for my self,took me many years to discover its the backing to an LP track by Tommy Good of the same title.Brill. Already mentioned but if some one was to ask me to name an instrumental that is typical of the Detroit sound I would answer Never in a million years it just oozes with Detroit

I used to play this in my limited dj career and always put it on tapes,so when Butch started playing Mr Lucky as j boone ithought how close the two records sounded

Me and Tats found one for 30 cents in a garage in Detroit

There is quite a few on Canadian labels.REO SPARTON, QUALITY.Some of the harder ones like Stienways on Sparton or Ben Aitken (satisfied) on Canadian Warner Bros as apposed to Loma (makes sense Loma were owned by WB )There is a lot of Detroit releases on Quality and if I remember correctly Reo housed a lot of Motown.

POODLES STEP BY STEP Goes a bit quite at the end but still ends "wollop

I think if you use Motown as an example just imagine what was taken into the Monday morning evaluation meeting,so many good products from each of the writers/producers and not all of them are gonna be voted as a potential hit,some have to fall by the wayside (remain in the can).I often think when I hear a previously unreleased song what the hell beat that on the day.I guess when it comes to the small companys money will be drained for them to take it a stage further.Great topic thou
