Only Dreaming

Are you still after this one Mal? I may have a copy, will have to check. Dave

My issue of this track has a noticable volume drop before it fades out properly near the end. Has anyone else noticed this on their copies or have I got a dodgy one? Thanks in advance, Dave

Great track, so many top tunes on that label. Best, DAve

Great set Jordan. Nice to hear someone playing that incredible Vibrations track. Keep it up, Dave

Not forgetting that "I keep trying" also came out in 1986 on the "Rare Soul Uncovered - Vol 2" Lp from Charley, which is where I first heard it. Great, gritty sounding track Best, Dave

Have always thought the same myself. My preferred version of the song would have Frankie Valli's vocal over the Timebox backing track. Dave

Don't forget to flip it over, great track as well

Soul Source user Mr Smithy had an issue for sale at the beginning of March. Could be worth sending him a PM. Good luck with your search, it really is an incredible record. Dave

Thanks for the link. An incredible CD in every respect! DAve

Hi Ray. Quickest way is to go to popsike and check the images on there. Hope it's good news. Best Dave

Very sad news. One of the richest and most soulful voices I have ever been privileged to hear. I'm off to play some of their records to remember his legacy. Rip Marvin. Dave

I thought the (you're number 1) styrene issues were reissues, or am I being nieve? Dave

Same here mate, every line....but especially this one "even though my heart is breaking I wish you love, may you find the happiness we both dreamt of" Dave

Ben E King "tears, tears, tears" does it for me. Dave

Hi Derek.Your post reminds me of one of my record buying adventures in the late 80's. I bought 5 copies of "Paramount Four - Until it happens to you", a relatively unknown track at the time, for $4 each, from a US dealer. The plan was to sell them on but in the end I had no takers and gave away as many as I could to my mates, which was the sum total of 3 copies. Fast forward to 1991 and I notice that I still have the remaining 2 copies left. I keep one for myself and put the second on this new fangled website called "ebay". Lo and behold it sells for £50 and I'm well chuffed. But if course there's a sting in the tail.....At the same time that I join e-bay I also open a Paypal account and the winner paypals me the funds. What I didn't know at the time was that you needed a nominated bank account so that pay-pal could pay me. After 30 days with the money in my paypal account and no sign of me nominating an account for PP to release the funds into, they refund the buyer his £50. So I never got a penny for any those records and never made it as a record dealer. On a similar theme, around 1998 I went into the Kings Hall Stoke with 5 copies of "Darrow Fletcher - My young misery" priced to sell at £4 each and left 7 hours later with the same 5 copies. I don't really bother trying to sell records anymore :-) Enjoy the rest of the weekend Dave

Nice track that. Dave

Have you got another Sonny Allen for that price???? :-) Dave

I find a lot of my 60's mono records play with distortion with my stereo cartridge/needle, even m - copies. Maybe that's the problem. best, Dave

They weren't taking any chances. Dave

That's the definitive version IMHO. This one of his is rather special also: Best, Dave

I'm not sure about 20th Century but ABC records certainly used the gold blob and star to mark deleted stock. Dave

I bought a M- copy of Spencer Wiggins "Lonely man" a few years back and it came with a 'bb' hole. The problem being that the hole is in the deadwax so you have to be quick to lift the needle as it nears the end. I'm pretty sure that this has devalued the record. I've also got a few more records where the 'bb' hole goes through the credits, which are less desirable as a result. Dave

Brilliant side. The true owner has great taste. Dave

Was playing this on the way to work this morning. Such a brilliant record. Dave
