How do you know it was from the master tape? If you're talking about the one with the Michigan Move on the other side, it's an out and out bootleg. Worth no more than £15 tops. Besides, why pay £40 for a bootleg (with the labels on the wrong sides) when you can cut yourself one for a few quid or buy one off me

I do - it's brilliant - what an intro as well

Blatant or wot? Naughty naughty (link)

On the set of a f*cking horror film by the looks of it

Sorry - don't know it I'm afraid - Mick Smith won't know it either, he only knows the ones I tell him about

Stuart, it looks pretty much like you've got a collection of reissues there. And if anyone would consider paying £25 for a Teri De reissue I'd love to meet him to sell him some more of the same.

I sold this to Mr Levine for something like £50, which was what he offered. I had to laugh because he could have offered me £5 and still had it off me, and I'd have still made a profit. Terrible racket.

Not even heard of it otherwise I'd have sent it you

I like Jerry Butler as well...there's a tremendous beat ballad by him on Mercury, can't remember what it's called dammit, might be You Walked Into My Life - fantastic sound

Sorry, I know it's a soul forum but a lot people like it or are getting into it.. Going to put these on Ebay this afternoon or tomorrow, don't know if anyone is interested in making an offer for anything, not after mad prices just fair Cheers Pete ALL UK LABELS UNLESS MARKED (JA) THE REGGAE BOYS - THE REGGAE TRAIN - AMALGAMATED 843 VG++ THE RIGHTEOUS FLAMES - RUN TO THE ROCK - HIGH NOTE 052 VG++ GREGORY ISSAC - WHILE THERE IS LIFE - ESCORT 883 VG PRINCE BUSTER - TEN COMMANDMENTS OF MAN - BB 334 EX THE MAYTALS - MONKEY MAN/NIGHT AND DAY - BEVERLYS BLANK (JA) VG DERRICK MORGAN - RETURN OF JACK SLADE - UNITY BLANK VG- BYRON LEE - WALK LIKE A DRAGON - ISLAND 220 M KING STITT & ANDY - HERB MAN - CLANCY BLANK (JA) VG STRANGER COLE - REMEMBER - ESCORT 826 EX LLOYD BREVETT - WAYWARD SKA - SKA BEAT 213 M- LAUREL AITKEN - DON'T BE CRUEL - NU BEAT 040 VG+ DERRICK MORGAN - TOUGHER THAN TOUGH - PYRAMID M THE MELODIANS - YOU DON'T NEED ME - TREASURE ISLE 7006 NOC WOL G D.TONY LEE - PEYTON PLACE/RED GAL RING - UNITY 519 EX PAT KELLEY - IF IT DON'T WORK OUT - GAS 125 VG++ HUGH ROY - FESTIVAL WISE - DYNAMIC 448 VG++ ALTON ELLIS & HUGH ROY - AIN'T THAT LOVING YOU - TREASURE ISLE 7064 EX NORA DEAN - BARBWIRE - TROJAN 7735 EX DESMOND DEKKER - 007 - PYRAMID 6004 EX CHARLIE & THE MELODIANS - CREATION VERSION (LITTLE NUT TREE) - HIGH NOTE 051 M- ROY CAMPBELL - ENGINE ENGINE NO.9 - JOLLY 003 M DESMOND BAKER & CLARENDONIANS - RUDE BOY GONE JAIL - ISLAND 295 VG DENNIS ALCAPONE - THIS A BUTTER - CAMEL 74 NOC EX ROLAND ALPHONSO - 1000 TONS OF MEGATON - GAS 112 EX- BOB ANDY - I'VE GOT TO GO BACK HOME - ISLAND 3040 EX- ANDY & JOEY - YOU'RE WONDERING NOW - R & B 162 EX ROLAND ALPHONSO - LOOKAWAY SKA/KEN BOOTHE - PUPPET - STUDIO 1 2012 EX ROLAND AL & SOUL BROS - DR RING A DING - DOCTOR BIRD NOC WOL G Titles and artist scratched off - plays much better than it looks THE TECHNIQUES - THE REASON WHY I LOVE YOU - TECHNIQUES BLANK (JA) VG+ THE SOUL RHYTHMS - SOUL CALL - JUPITER (JA) G

I never said he only had 2 tunes...where did I say that? Sort your optician out! I said he was responsible for 2 of the worst tunes ever, thats wot. p.s. whats a Knig?

1) Are you agreeing with me, what's up? This isn't how we usually play 2) yes I do agree 3) I meant to say that apart from Chuck Jackson and Levi Stubbs, Al Green is the best of the lot

Two of the worst records ever played on the scene.

Yeah it wasn't a 45 in the US mate Pete

Philip James (Blues Busters) - Wide awake in a dream - UK Island. Awesome beat ballad - unbelievable copy when you think what UK Islands usually look like - spotless label, few marks on the vinyl (not scratches) but an all round EX, complete with centre for a change. Only selling cos I've got one on Jamaican now. £100 o.n.o.

Roy Hamilton can't hold a candle to Chuck Jackson, the greatest male vocalist ever (ok tie with levi Stubbs). Panic Is On is ok but apart from that, nothing. Plus he loses a million points for that terrible You Shook Me Up record.

Pleasant - very commercial and radio friendly - much more preferable to 'modern soul', at least it's got a beat...except for that little guitar riff on every fourth beat which is copied off that awful Music Feels Better With You or whatever it was called and numerous others.

Is anyone familiar with Village Soul by Lennie Hibbert, it's a superb mellow vibe-laden soul instrumental that I remember speeding up and covering up a few years ago not realising it was well known

I doubt if he minds, he's dead :graynone:

Nor me, I preferred the 50's and 70's ones

But those are just as played out as Frank Wilson. I can't see the point you're trying to make. Are you honestly saying that if Frank Wilson was as common as Come See About Me, you still wouldn't think it was a great record?

Anything's repetitive when you've heard them thousands of times but I still think if you take it on it's own, without anything to do with prices or overplays or whatever, it's got everything. Someone back me up for f*cks sake.

Maybe you needed to be there when it was spun for the first time, the three or four weeks before it got pressed. It's not even one of my top 100 but to say it's boring, you lot have got a f*cking screw loose, what exactly do you want from your Northern Soul records?

You're going to have to apply that to every Motown record then.

Yee-haw, we agree on something at last! Tobi Bowe
