Yes that was a bizarre release, same record as both sides of The Packers with made up artist and title, and the B side, originally titles Go Ahead On, was played by Soul Sam as a cover up off that Action 45.

Very interesting as always Dave but I have to totally disagree with you in that the definitions have changed nowadays, SKINHEAD REGGAE is the definition of the sound of a particular type of reggae released between 1968 and 1970 but it's not the same as YOUR definition of the same sound; you've played me things that you regard as Skinhead Reggae - I totally disagree as they are too slow. Skinhead reggae to me is Sufferer, John Jones, Cat Nip, Red Red Wine, Don Juan, Rise And Fall, Dry Acid, Been So Long, Call You Up etc etc - the fast early reggae. To me it has no connotations with any of the people or groups you describe above, yes it may be enjoyed by the Ben Sherman boys but to me, it's a genre of music all on it's own.

It's a bug, happened to me loads of time, always when using internet explorer to list, you type a new description but when you save it, it repeats the previous one

The list is endless rufus lumley - i'm standing, stronger than me dean parrish - i'm on my way stemmons express - woman love thief reflections - like adam and eve, just like romeo and juliet judy street - what johnny vanelli - seven days of loving you vondells - hey girl you changed (unsure whether white or not) dana valery - you don't know where your interest lies helen shapiro - stop and become aware larry santos - you got me where you want me rain - out of my mind reparata - panic freddie chavez - they'll never know why (hispanic maybe but he's not black) shane martin - i need you mark loyd - when I'm gonna find her idle few - people thats why cajun hart - got to find a way embers - watch out girl david & the giants - ten miles high len barry - you baby be here all day

I've actually got TWO ex+ UK copies on red and yellow Action. Two, it's hard enough getting one. Probably won't get another for 5 years

Oh well thats encouraging - cheers.

Wasn't to do with the time Suz, it was the fact he sold a second copy using the same description which always make me suspicious

Of course now theres no way to find the winner and asked him if he actually received it.

No because I only spotted this a couple of hours ago. Do I complain to ebay or to paypal? Or is it best to wait to see if the seller replies?

I have asked the seller, got no reply as yet.

Amazing that the Orlando version sold for anything over a fiver. It's on Nems. The UK Barbara Acklin on yellow MCA is worth about a fiver.

No I know it's not Northern mate but I listened to the file and...well...heard nothing really

Not surprised it didn't sell many copies..

Sure has... although that only says 'up to 1973'

It sounds like it's based on "Hole in the wall"" by The packers

This one has today's best photograph https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MARY-HOPKIN-TEMMA-HARBOUR-P-S-7-single-APPLE-/160725369838?pt=UK_Records&hash=item256bfa83ee#ht_620wt_1165

Well all 3 are soul records, which is why I got a little confused

No, thats the best of the lot. The Ronettes version is great as well.

Over the lst 2 years I've had an issue, a demo, and a 1 sided acetate of this off Ebay. Great version.

Theres a guy round here who drives an Audio convertible and his number plate is M4NLY which I guess is meant to read MANLY, we p*ss ourselves when we see him due to him looking anything but, then I saw a Range Rover with an almost identical plate on it and I'm thinking well maybe thats his surname?

p.s. I got the Action last week, an amazing job lot really: I paid £80 for THE LOT! the action - baby you got it - parlophone the action - in my lonely room - parlophone the soul agents - gospel train - pye alan bown set - gonna fix you good - pye demo ruperts people - reflections of charles brown - columbia downliners sect - all night worker - columbia screaming lord such - i'm a hog for you baby - decca martha & the vandellas - wild one - stateside

Andy the tune of Bobby Vee, well the main riff anyway, sound to me just like 'Nine times out of ten'!

https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/on-the-brink/ This time I've gone back to the 60's singles; some unknown, some very well known. The first half is all UK label stuff and the second half are US releases. Some overlap of course. We start with a couple of very obscure popcorn tracks from 61 and 63 respectively, then there's a flurry of excellent mid-60's beat 45's, the Dodos track is a previously unknown (to me) version of Jon Gunn on Deram, The Youth is an obscure Claire Francis production, and the Barry Hopkins is an ultra-obscure pop-Northern dancer from 1970. The UK section ends with a phenomenal Hammond instrumental from the Soul Agents. Pick of the US stuff are Jackie Burns old Stafford cover up (actually from a UK MGM copy), the fabulous Jan Bradley, Len Barry's brilliant version of The Shirelles classic and the truly moving Manhattans original of The Uniques big reggae hit Out Of Love. I sneaked the Samantha Jones UK only release in at the end because I love it so much, and also three quarters of Earl Grant's obscure instrumental version of the Ben E King classic. So 70 minutes worth of "interesting" 60's 45's for you to lend an ear to.
