...which did actually get a single release on the B-side of "I Guess I'll Always Love You" (TMG683 - which I suppose is actually a reissue as my demo gives a release date of 10/1/69 but a recording date of 1966)

I don't think it actually was - tv.com and imdb.com have no trace of a "colo(u)red man" series or film, tho' it could have been a pilot project that didn't get picked up

Totally agree that lumping reissues and bootlegs together is not only wrong but potentially harmful in that if punters start to see Kent/Grapevine/Goldmine etc as no better than bootlegs they'll just go for the cheaper knock-off-nigel option rather than supporting the hard work of the reissue labels, leading to fewer sales = fewer issues = music doesn't get heard etc and so forth. I know a number of people involved directly in the reissue biz are on here and I'd be interested to hear their thoughts as to whether this has an impact already? By the way, at the last venue I was on at one of the DJs on before me played a Kent reissue of a tune that I have a rather expensive original of in my box - guess how I reacted?

For what its worth, I was actually a cent out on this - I thought it was "a dollar a dime", ie $1.10

Love it Thinking about it - small elite imposing their doctrine on the masses from whom they are increasingly out of touch...has Tony Blair infiltrated the scene?

I think a lot of the big acts these days have forgotten to write full stop - they just loop a sample much of the time. EG you mentioned MJB - her biggie from not so long back "Hate It Or Love It" borrowes its backing track (tho' admittedly speeded up and enhanced) from The Trammps "Rubber Band". I imagine they can probably get away with this as they're with the label that owns the rights to the original anyway?

Maybe, but could the Dr Who heels rap? ">

But we'll still be discussing this long after tonight is all over!

It's also available on iTunes for 79p - or as part of the album "Soul of Detroit Vol 4", 16 tracks for £7.99

Or if you're very quick, there are 3 left in stock at Amazon as I type: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strange-World-Nort...9847&sr=8-1

From the same dealer -do any of you guys know anything about this oddity?

Thought Babylon 5 was American too? Certainly was a classic of TV, either way...."NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR GALAXY"

It is indeed.

Could be Lyn Collins "Think"

Bit surprised at this - thought Frankie was into four figures normally?

Apologies...worst case scenario, I may have been hacked - I've taken s43soul offline fornow. Meanwhile, I've put the pic on public space: https://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cliftonit7.jpg

There was a time...just scanned this pic I dug up in: https://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cliftonit7.jpg

What about New ?

Out of interest, Ian, what do you think of the recent hit "Mercy" by Duffy which has actually been played at Northern events?

If it exists, it will leak - look at how advance screeners of movies get knock-off-nigel'd within a week

Hey Ian, where can ANS be found these days?

His 45s have certainly got around - my copy of Ujima has his name very neatly scratched into the dead wax

Probably about right - remember it was quite a big seller at the time as "Lover Turn Me On (I Just Gotta Have You)" was massive in mainstream discoland

I imagine it's probably in demand among hardcore Batman fans too, with all that entails
