Collecting British...why Bother?
Right thats the gauntlet thrown down.....will dig deeper and less of the outright Mod stuff.Ken has included ska in his list and northern novelty.I would be here forever if we could include ska although I have a few soul/ska tunes ie smooths and sorts. Just thought of where my Sue box is.............

Sell them privately and cut out the middle man. You will get far more for them.

Great stuff, Gene released quite a lot of records. Suprised there hasn't been a comp.Im sure he was asian as Ive a pic cover from 66/67 where he is wearing an earring.Who was the bloke that did Hey Little Boy on CBS? Tony Wilson-What Did I Do Jimmy Thomas-Springtime Notations-Need Your Love (Great track on Chapter One Records) Mixtures-Monkey Jazz (this sounds like moondance....ten years before Moondance) The James Galt Tracks In My Own Way and a Most Unusual Feeling (got a spare US copy on Arora although Im sure he is British)

Some great stuff UK only Britt-You Really Have Started Something Gene Latter-Ways Stewart Brown-Dont Call Me (great track on RCA) The Exotics-I Dont Want Nobody To Lead Me On (issued twice 2 diff versions) Soulmates-Saying Something Carl Douglas-Crazy Feeling Chants-Ive Been Trying Ive got a record on the UK Paradox label with press sheet (can't remember record) brown label Tonny Rich-Dont Mention Her Name Detours-Hanging On Sue Lynn-Baby Baby Baby Flirtations-Hold On To Me Babe (Don't think this got a US release) Salena Jones-Baby Dont Get Crazy UK CBS thing female singer the track is Something To Hold On To.mmmm Got a great maximum sound studios acetate of a track called Call Me A Friend Going to have to rifle through my UK boxes......seems to me there's loads of mod style stuff that came out in the UK.I'm not bothered whether its US or UK but prefer UK produced stuff on UK labels.Loads of UK stuff seemed to come out on Parrott in the US.

Link To Adidas Ad Featuring Dee Edwards
£25,492.00 ...........So the producer got that.I wonder how much dribbles down to the artists and then the musicians.They were probably paid a flat fee like library musicians.Bump shop copies will probably rise in value now.Keeping my copy though...Dennis Coffey on guitar I think.

Link To Adidas Ad Featuring Dee Edwards
Great record. Gilles Peterson stuck it on a comp which is how Adidas probably picked up on it.Im sure it was played in a record shop in the Martin Freeman documentary on Detroit in front of the producer of it.Hopefully he will get a few dollars out of it.

Crossover
I'm confused. I bought Grease Wheels 45 by the Smokin Shades Of Black at Dingwalls from a dealer called Alan in 88. I bought it as a funk instrumental (a break from buying Candido and Jack Costanzo LP's). Just dug it out and I now think of it as a great northern soul instrumental...does this mean it has crossed over as it's gone from the funk box to the northern box?? .

Most Expensive British Demo And Issue And Usa Demo And Issue
So someone got in touch with Kama Sutra in the US and arranged with them to have a few thousand pressed for the UK northern soul market??. I thought Ember had the rights to that label in the UK.? They pressed it with English labels (Im assuming its the 71 no centre issue as Ive never seen a US 45 with the typical English 3 prong which is on one of my copies)...so that makes the 71 3 prong the original and the no centre the US pressed custom pressed legitimate second UK issue....and wait for it the mispressed no centre custom UK pressing econd issue pressed in the US with the wrong track is the rarity....Who had it pressed then.It mut have been before the soul fox was around.

Most Expensive British Demo And Issue And Usa Demo And Issue
So its a UK Kama Sutra then...I bet some Soul Fox wasn't happy though even though he liked an instrumental...of course.I suppose either my solid centre or the no centre is a boot then.Funny that they decided to boot a UK issue though. So the number one UK soul rarity is an early seventies UK boot..............what karma

Most Expensive British Demo And Issue And Usa Demo And Issue
Can someone clarify.Wasn't the Billy Harner instrumental on a US only and they got sent back and destroyed..I've 2 UK copies one a full centre and the other without a centre.Will have to dig them out in case theres an instrumental (dream on...)
