Impressions - We Must Be In Love
I first heard this about 10 years ago when Paul Weller played it on his 'vinyl classics' radio show. It took me another 2 years to get a copy. If I remember correctly it's a US only release. I also have the version by 5 stairsteps and have to agree that it's not a patch on the impressions. Great version of Inner city blues on the flip. Good luck with your search. Dave

O'jays Just Another Guy Issued On 45?
Thanks for the info Paul. I have always wondered about a Motown connection with this track as it's published by Jobette. Now to get a copy of the Spinners CD. Great stuff, Dave

Why Do We Dislike Al Wilson's The Snake So Much?
"The Snake" is really a victim of it's own success and is probably disliked as it's been so overplayed. Personally I think it should never have been released as a single. If you listen to his "Searching for the dolphins" LP the track fits in well with the rest of the compositions. As for the track sounding weird, that's probably because it has it's origins in the church as a parable warning of the dangers of sin, and doesn't suit the contemporary arrangement given to it. The original version by Oscar Brown Jr is true to it's gospel roots. Dave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP92tBs6cx8

Bobby Sheen - Sweet Sweet Love
I heard it first on the Goldmine "Soothers & Movers" CD about 15 years ago. I agree, top track and (as I get older) my preferred side to Dr Love. Dave

Leon Haywood
That's valued too low. £800 is more realistic: https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=leon+haywood&x=0&y=0 Great tune, but a bit long in the tooth nowadays. Dave

Buying '60S Lps - Stereo Or Mono?
It all depends on the LP in question and your personal preferences. I've only heard the stereo version of 'Soul Superman' and it sounds great to my ears. However,my 'Souled out' LP by the Rightous Brothers sounds much better in mono as does 'Feelin' Bluesy ' by Gladys Knight & the pips. I really feel that the last two lps were actually intended as mono cuts and the stereo versions sound too separated. In terms of which to buy, I always go for the stereo version and convert to mono on my pc using cooledit pro or similar. I also convert all my mono 45's (recorded with a stereo cartridge) by the same means to save them to digital, as it reduces distortion. Finally, I remember reading somewhere that a lot of 60's recording sessions were 'mic'd' for mono as the studio engineers were trained in that format. The mixing engineeers also specialised in mono so those mixes were of a higher quality than the stereo versions. Good topic, Best, Dave
