Labels flipped

I've shared this in the private group of indie record shops that take part in RSD. Unlikely that they will be offered over the counter of a shop, but no harm in having these guys with their ear to the ground. Plus somebody might recognise the pic.

Ours are all gone now folks. Ace are out too. Cheers!

Thanks for confirming Chalky. I remember that the Monarch ones were pretty expensive when they popped up too.

Pretty certain it hit the UK a while before any Tayster boot…

NOW SOLD THANKS Bit of a buzz on this one. Sold out at Ace (as our rep advised it would be) and out of stock at most shops. Copies appearing on a certain online market place at inflated prices - and likely to go up… We have just x 2 copies left in stock at our normal retail price of £55 + £5 signed for post. PM if interested.

PM sent.

@Chalky has some great footage of him singing at Band on the Wall. I was there and it genuinely brought me to tears. He sounded older but still fantastic and the age evident in his voice actually enhanced the whole experience. It was just beautiful. Any chance of posting here Karl?

Releases this year by Willie Tee, Richard Caiton, Terry Callier, TSU Toranados, Velvet Hammer, Cynthea Sheeler, Gaturs, Harvey Scales, Koko Taylor, Latin Blues Band, Marvin Gaye, Shirley Scott, Stairsteps, Tony Troutman plus a shedload of Latin, Reggae, Hip Hop and other bits that might appeal to Sourcers. Maybe some I forgot too... Link to list below. We'll be stocking all the soul titles at Record Revivals, Scarborough and we'll add more details in time. IMPORTANT! This year official RSD shops can sell any unsold stock from 8PM the Monday after RSD, (Monday 24th April) so there's less reason than ever to feed the scalpers on eBay and Discogs. https://recordstoreday.co.uk/media/vgyhl0ck/record-store-day-list-2023-pdf-1.pdf

Hi all. I'm looking for a nice playing copy of Brenda George - I Can't Stand it- US Kent. I'm Ok with promo or issue If anyone can do a better price than Discogs copies that would be great Cheers!

For a non-soul buying pal. I just want the cheapest copy (inc post) of Tainted Love available please. Ta

Perfect! Thanks Andy.

Thanks. I’ll ping Ady as to where the info came from .

I've seen references to Elaine Hill on RSVP and Lainie Hill in New Voice being the same person. Has this ever been verified? It's tricky to compare as the songs are quite different, but I'm just not hearing it. Any thoughs? Thanks.

There were 2 or 3 titles in quantity on Olham Market around 75/76. Unplayed stock in co sleeves. I used to take copies of I Ain't Gonna Rest to Wigan and recommend it as an uptempo blind buy.

After a nice copy of Buddy Wayne - Agent .007 Dance - Big Ben. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Cheers!

Thanks for that! Great info, much appreciated 🙂

Feel free to tell me if I should be ashamed for not knowing already heheh! 😆 So, a simple one hopefully: Alladin mid 50s issues on Burgundy and Blue labels: Were they issued simultaneously or one colour first? Does the answer apply to all issues or does it vary between releases? What was the reason for different labels? Anything else relevant I should know? Thanks in advance experts 😉

Further bit of info: The recent boots have the blue area all in a solid patch of colour, whereas on the 70s boot the blue looks kind of washy, scratchy or patchy (chose your own adjective). You can see a bit in pics and scans, but when it's in your hand it's really evident. I think some even have a little smudge of blue in the white. All of the ones we got at the time were like this. Looks like your guy has some duff info and is going to be inflexible though - and you'd lose a paypal claim, as they're weighted towards the buyer and if he says not as described that's it. You'll probably just have to refund, accept the slight loss and move on. I'd do a brief post on Vinyl Vigilante too, so that anyone who wants to block him can. Very happy for the buyer to read this of course, as he's just plain wrong. Good luck mate Paul (Godz)

Hi Rob I think the Lou Johnson insts are Magic Potion and Always Something rather than Unsatisfied mate Shame though! 😀

No need. As I said we sold them in the shop in the 70s. 1978 in fact... https://www.45cat.com/record/nc451866us

I collect theme tunes and I like it for that reason - alone. From what I recall most people (admittedly off their rockers…) just looked it at as someone having a bit of laugh (including a few half hearted dancers who just kept their space on the floor for 2 minutes). It was nowhere near taking off in any meaningful way and nobody expected it to. My gang thought it was fun for a moment. No more, no more less.

I’m almost reluctant to keep this going! however that’s definitely the promo 7 of Gordon’s Gin as it came out inc the slow intro. If you’re comparing to some of the YouTube clips available, they’re mostly the 80s version. IMB - as I’ve never said in my life… 😂

Wanted: Sons of Moses - Deviled Egg - BIX Will pay £100 Stone Mint and incrementally less for lesser condition. Min VG+ Thanks to anyone who can help.
