Its not one line I know... but the last few lines of the The Drifter - Ray Pollard is just out of this world, as is the whole of the song as a matter of fact! The end is the part of the tune that i reckon reaches its highest emotional intensity, if you dont feel a little of the gut wrenching emotions from it then you certainly ain't human! "oohh I'm just a drifter I go from town to town, I'm just a drifter but I wasnt always down, cos once i had a girl by my side, a love so strong that money couldnt buy no, no, no but heaven called and took her away, out of my arms and left me to wander..." All the lyrics to the whole song just get to me everytime, always has done...sheer emotion...

Been meaning to post this to try and suss out what the score is with a copy of Edie Walker - I Dont Need You Anymore that is on "Dis Peru". Ive had the record for 2 years now (bought it from a Peruvian eBay seller for $22) and was wondering if anyone out there knows anything about the background of this record. The original US release is on the MEW label. But how did it end up being recorded and distributed in Peru?! Very bizarre...or maybe not.... All i know telling from the original cover is that it was produced and recorded in Lima, and it has "Muestra Promocianal Prohibido La Venta" = Promotional Copy/Sample Not For Sale stamped on it. I know Pete Smith had one of these for sale back in April 2011 (18th April was the post) and I'm as quizzical about it as he was back then, as its seems obscure and unusual for this record to have been recorded in Peru?! Three scans below are of actual record and cover ( maybe Coco Davila knows something?!)

Two priced to sell, any questions send me a PM. Johnny Williams - You've Got It KENT VG £10 ***SOLD*** Bit of a worn copy but no major marks, plays great, fantastic R&B mover The Monclairs - Wait For Me SUNBURST W/D VG £10 Great tune thats quite rare and hard to find as a white demo. The record does have some feelable scratches that do create some pops and clicks. Listen to YouTube clip and judge for yourself, would be alright to DJ with.

Hi Ivor, Points taken, and totally understand what you are saying and agree. A 'fair book guide' price IMO is a price that only serves as point of reference of what one would pay. Guides are constantly revised so they are never written in stone and I never take them that seriously. I sold my first collection back in the mid 80s and decided to collect again 2 years ago after being away from the scene almost 30 years. A lot has changed I must admit, and I realised that research on prices (especially online and through word of mouth) and value is paramount when looking to buy a record. I usually buy from the States from several sellers whom Ive developed correspondence with. With buying and selling records ( which i do both of) I find that there are people out there in the UK that are fair and realistic with their prices and but that does not mean that they are underselling but just that they might have their prices personally in perspective and thats what its all about, perspective. It's all subjective at the end of the day. I paid around £3 for a copy of Wade Flemons- Jeanette back in 83 (came as part of a soul bowl pack) , sold it probably for around £15 a few years later. Heard it was big on the scene years later but cant believe people are paying £400+ for it currently, would i pay that now, no as I personally dont think its worth that. Problem with the 'current prices' scenario is that there is nothing definitive or indicative of what 'current' means, because guides dont reflect it and Popsike certainly doesnt!

Pete, Been meaning to reply to the previous posts....by 'sensible' I mean a fair book guide price that is not influenced in any way by the today's media frenzy of 'northern soul fever' that makes people offer or buy records at silly prices i.e. a 'fair' price is a price that is not reflected by any inflated current demand. Pete, you are the champion at pointing out that bootlegs are being sold at inflated prices, for me the same applies to originals as well, though its more subjective when it comes to what we all think an original record is worth, of course we also have to take into account the grading of vinyl, condition of label etc... e.g. a trashed original might serve a DJ very well but is useless to a fussy collector! Moreover, Epitome of Sound is not a mega rare record, nor is it really on a rare or obscure label , but true it has always been very popular, seen as a northern soul anthem of sorts and I'd guess its very much in demand at the moment like many other oldies. The question I've always asked at the end of the day is, do you pay the price of record for its current popularity on the scene or the actual rareness of its label and its number of presses that were released?!

After a original copy of The Epitome of Sound - You Don't Love Me. Issue or demo. PMs please with sensible offers only or with info on whereabouts of one for sale. cheers for any help, much appreciated

Kev The only difference between the mentioned printed publishing names is that there were label variations on different presses. The St Lawerence label pressed under different publishing names which would correlate to different pressing plants in and out of the Chicago area. There are also white demo copies with just the "Overcome" publishing name printed on the label, have a gander at this webpage, and youll see different variations on demos and issues. https://www.45cat.com/record/nc636488us I'm a bit of an anorak guy when it comes to collecting, not a complete expert (only been in the collecting game since 1979) and Ive not always been right but my gut instinct tells me there is nothing suspicious about all of this i.e. all variations of Mamie are originals. Plus Brown and Manship guide state nothing, and its been years since so many copies of this oldie have circulated round! To resume, "Overcome Publishing Co." and "Cragvee and Overcome" would amount to nothing more than different pressing plants but both original presses at the time of release. Hope that makes sense....

Ian , hang on mate youve got an original there, theres no boot of Mamie as such that is similar say to the Johnny Sayles boot (no address on bottom of label) The original Chris L showed in his scan is just another press variation of the St Lawerence label. The address is present on your copy across the top section of the label, sell accordingly as an original mate, its not a boot from what i can tell unless someone has devised up some sort of sophisticated bootleg making machine in the last year or so! The release number above the lateral line is just a misprint I'd say, check out Popsike and see what other copies look like and you'll see. Just thought i'd tell you so that you know, need more proof check Manships entries for Mamie Galore https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/search/Artist/GALORE%252C%2BMAMIE/all/1 Look at the first record "Too Many Memories" and youll see your label variation! My copy of It Aint Necessary also has the same label type, its an original. hope this helps.
