Here's 4 nice ones :

I bought a Willie Tee " Having so much fun " from those lists for £3.I'd just had a list off Ian Dewhirst where he stated it was probably his fave record of all time , so thought it was worth buying blind !! Best ,Eddie

Thats really sad news Kev , especially as he'd only just visited the UK .I feel I must mention however ,that Joe Hunter and Ivy Joe Hunter are two different people , hope you don't mind me correcting this error .Best Wishes ,Eddie

Some good points made there Tony ,what album is the War/ Sharon Scott collabaration on ?Best ,Eddie

I've seen Geno live several times Tone , and I've got to say he puts in a superb show every time , anything but mediocre in fact .Must admit I didn't know about the Sharon Scott link , was wondering what else she had done.Some of these singers like Eric Burdon may have good voices and dig the music , but compared to James Carr ,Otis , Sam and Dave etc , there's no comparison in my opinion .Best ,Eddie

I thought this was an excellent well produced programme , though as mentioned some of the footage didn't tally ,Twisted Wheel followed by Wigan record bar , for instance . To myself and many others I presume , singers like Eric Burdon etc will always be just pop / rock stars ,completely devoid of any " Soul " whatsoever .Hope singers like Gino Washington and Jimmy James get their fair share of props in future weeks , as they really have flown the flag for the UK scene for years .Best ,Eddie

Thats fine Mel , pleased you like it .I really like your Percy Sledge version as well , mind you I love all his stuff ,he's so underrated , famous for just a couple of big sellers .Best Wishes ,Eddie

Here you go Mel : Think Pat Brady spun this at Wigan ? Flip side is one of my all time fave ballads " Rainbow Road " .Best ,Eddie bill_brandon_something_wonderful.mp3

I've got this by Bill Brandon on Tower , great dancer !! Best ,Eddie

Margaret Mandolph " Something Beautiful " from Floorshakers Kent 007 , or " It's starting to get to me now " - Irma Thomas from Stand in for love Kent 056 , two great femme sides .Best ,Eddie

i was going to scan mine Tony , strange how there isn't a blue issue eh ? Best Wishes ,Eddie

It could be Larry Atkins version on Highland ? Best ,Eddie

I used to have an issue , sold it to Carl Willingham , which was unusual as he collected mainly demos . Best ,Eddie

yes you're probably right Dave , wish I'd kept my issue as well now !! Best ,Eddie

Thanks for posting these up Pete , a real education .Best Wishes ,Eddie

This is a nice Carolyn Crawford demo :

I've never seen another demo of Joe Buckman on Sepia , shame it's same both sides ..Best ,Eddie

Has anyone got a scan of a black issue of Deena Johnson " I'm a sad girl " [ Simpson ] ? I found one in Vancouver in 1980 , but it had a bad warp so I sold it - never seen another !!! Best ,Eddie

Patti Austin " Pain stain " harder on issue ? Best ,Eddie

Here's Kenny Gamble on a one sided Arctic demo .Interestingly it has Arctic etched in large letters in the vinyl , same type face as the label .Best ,Eddie

Here's Jackie Wilson on yellow demo : Best ,Eddie

Here's a scan of my Geraldine Hunt , £12 from Soul Bowl 1980 Best ,Eddie

I was going to say they look like a scam for bootlegging , as the latest Legends of Rare Soul has stuff taken from Jools Holland ,Top Of The Pops etc with no credit given to BBC etc . Best Wishes ,Eddie
