  1. This re-worked version sounds better (cleaned up) as the original edited 45 is rather messy. Too much for me anyway. Thanks indeed. But where does one find it ?
  2. No, you're right. Minty more toward £100 though for the Marvellos. Now what about the Dells almost reaching £200 is kinda sick !!! And Lou Johnson WDJ rarer but blowing above £200... Babylon A Fall, the end is nigh, troubled times...
  3. Real CLASS on this haunting 2-sider. Ex visual (few scuffs NAP) and strong Ex play wise. Scans and soundclip of both sides of the actual record speak for themselves. thrill gone.mp3 £120 FREE SHIPPING ALL OVER THE WORLD Grading through M - EX - VG - G...

  4. Thanks 'bo diddley' for the "enlightenment" and
  5. after last weekend show and the 'interesting' takes Can someone enlighten on to what exactly this refers to ? I guess I'm missing something that is so obvious...
  6. Because to world outside the northern soul scene was and is still bigger even outside the UK...
  7. If not one of the better Funk Brothers backing track work at least one of the most singular ones that still grabs you by the guts. This double sider offering is presented in one of the most desirable form IMHO. It's also a rare release as it is a real nice one. Hence the price takes into account the following condition as described here below. The picture sleeve has to be graded only as a VG. On the front cover a bend mark from top to bottom on the third left and on the top open slide few creases, faint red felt pen "X"oc just before 'LOVE IS AN...' a pair of horizontal "scratches" on Diana ROSS and Mary WILSON faces. Back side of cover top left some pencil numbers... record itself is a nice EX condition. Sound clip from both sides with stylus drop and lift and scans from actual record. £50 NOW £40 !!!

  8. In the audio intellectual chosen few circles it is the concienscius that when using the same tape of an instrumental backing track, no matter how reworked, it is acknowledge it to be the "same" backing track. But in the slumbs of the Bourgeois Paul le Shrews such fine understanding in distinction of mixes using the same backing track indulge mental stress and confusion. Accordingly it helps the poor soul to simmer down with the belief it to be not the same backing track due a rework of the mix. There is alway an educative, rational scientific explanation to everything. Voilà ! LOL

    What was that ?
  10. No 'cos I am Timmy ! I do tend to trust my ears before anything where in the past I use to give the credits-bility to the "pioneers". Only I dropped out of that "authentic" collector point of ear and rely on my first impression mainly. And I am always curious as glad to hear versions I am not aware off and so forth. But on this example tho whole song (production-wise and in vocal variations) Sp&Su still works better to my ears. I love Chuck, but to me the "echoey" just drawn down the song and the moments is kind of synthetic and "flat" to leave me dubious. Sp&Su is kitsch in my book and I do appreciate that still from time to time...
  11. This is the original 1970 release of the long version of 'stoned love' reissued years later on the Motown Yester-Year series. It's vinyl is in EX- VG++ condition. Translucid colored vinyl are hard to visually grade. Under a strong light it does bares some scuffs but no scratches. The labels have apparently suffered from some water exposure and do show some stains and wear from that. High resolution scans and sound clip from both sides of the record will allow anyone to judge better. £50 FREE SHIPPING ALL OVER THE WORLD Grading through M - EX - VG - G...

  13. The YT poster is now selling on his copy maybe...
  14. Second hand records shops exist for a long time now in Belgium so likely most found their way there or on flea markets. One can believe that some or more did find their way in the malignant visitors or "contributors" home. The storage condition of them is more likely relevant as to what happened to them. If they suffered from humidity or a leak, they could have binned indeed. But those "import" records that were in the hands of "independent records representatives" were more likely well kept in boxes until the man "kick the bucket". One such famous lot (Belinda/Melinda) in Brussels found for the biggest part found it's way in different second hand shops in Belgium. The story/legend goes that some manage to end up firstly in the bin indeed...
  15. WE WANT TO SEE THE RECORD ! THE RECORD ! THE RECORD !!!
  16. Not for knowing, but by deducing and understanding with time, crate digging and meeting few "ancestors", I came to the conclusion that the "over-boarder" re-releases were not done only through the "big ones" or the "elites" of the business. The numerous independent "records representatives" around the world were receiving this and that record recently issued by the Major Records Companies owning the rights from the USA, UK or any other countries. Sometimes at the top of the chain some records where not "supported" for the bigger scheme and where not promoted through those "link. This is generally acknowledge. But as in all "small worlds" they were also meeting "enthusiastic" smaller projects and at times decided against all odds to push the release of a project that had the tiniest chance to breakthrough. Since those "records representatives" where wandering in the world of Clubs, DJ's and Radios to see how a record could "work" or not, they had that "booker" snobbery attitude ! Sometimes "trendsetters" but in real most of the times trends followers. Mind you that Beirut was a "Shin-Dig" city then. Istanbul the same and Buenos Aires... And Brussels of course LOL !!!
  17. Publishing rights in the UK was indeed the main USA "Atlantic gate" to 'Europe' or even for the rest of the world during the 5T's & 6T's. But mind that they were not only dependent on UK CEO's taste or musi-commercial point of view. Many countries had sole escaped out of the USA releases as this thread shows. That many a times without mandatory EMI UK consentement. Even the Mixed Emotion had an "official" EMI Belgium release of 'gold of my life' without the original members of the group knowledge... EMI copyrights ? This peculiar example just to show how such an official major label can even "invent" copyrights. And this is not a case of 'London's Darrel Banks' Publishing Right's ownership. It's more relevant of someone out here faking it all for the love of it only and not caring on cashing in. Sales of that Belgium EMI release were likely as spectacular as the self distributed USA release... As it's often the case. Can you imagine yourself in 1967 in Buenos Aires sipping a morning coffee dropping a dime in the dinner table 33 rpm juke-box for 'I've got to find me somebody'... Should be the best coffee ever ! No offense, but since the 5T's the UK was not doing the mandatory "direct USA filter" for the outside world. Even if for instance Tamla Motown Trade Mark in the 6T's was indeed a UK launch that had Holland and Germany "subsidiaries" following up as a Trade Mark but not necessarily for the selection. That is a fact. And indeed, CBS was build the same way in and outside the UK. But many smaller "independent" "World" labels had "cherry picked" leases not passing through the "chUnnel" at all. Once independent USA records "representatives" in the world were supplied directly, the UK channel could be by-passed. The story of the road to India... And never dissing the UK people in and for the music for their love, geekiness and focuses on American musical enlightenment as done nowhere else, is at the same time to be vividly underlined. Regards. Timmy, the Belgian !
  18. Whoah ! I couldn't access that since I don 't have a UK eVilBay account I guess. This shows the 2 gamers at work. Fantastic ! Cheers 4 that. Still, 'g***8' has made a first gigantic leap from 'e***s' bid or increment from £39 to £250 !!! And again from £255 to £360 ! Then from £255 to £360... these are not "proxy bid" increments. But on time manual bids.
  19. OK, my bad. The "proxy bidding" is something I keep forgetting exist. Sorry, me don't like it. Then the other bids not making it just don't show. So nobody knows who took the limit to the sky... More room for the "conspiracy theory"...
  20. No no. At the bottom you have the last "real" bidder. Then 'g***8' comes into the game and bid over on himself 9 times !!! There's no 'snipe' at work there. Check different days and hours... It's all done on time and manually.
  21. Last bids increment from £30 to £520 from the same bidder all alone without competition... Then a sole bid from another bider at £530 to close-up In the real world it's a £40 record or so. If a close minter, might go for more for a purist collector...
  22. I've bought bunches with the short credit name of both the promo and black issues as NOS. I never knew the story with the full name credit. Seeing this now makes me understand that the second round of release on both black and blue labels "corrected" to credit the second composer's name in full rightfully so. All legit.
  23. Likely the other way around. My theory is this was just another subsiduary label for the USA London group as they have many. Then this Doris Willingham got picked up by President records for a UK release with a licence to use the label that in the States was simply discontinued after a later second release by the Hogs formerly a UK release for Jay Boy N°5. Don't forget that the Equals already had their international fame and that those releases in the USA got licensed through the USA London records group. After Doris Willinngham, UK Jay Boy served as "generic" UK production release label before becoming the "dedicated" soul label for the President group with the emergence of the "rare" soul scene from the "underground".
  24. Doris Willingham total match Doris Duke
