couple of odd ones from the musette label, the only 'White' Beatles or beat type group track on the label, The Other Four- Searching for my Love ((65176A - 6517B) and the only 45 from the label that actually got picked up by a national (Chess) was Bobby Bryant Sextet - A Change is Gonna Come MR 110 flipped with Bobby Bryant Sextet - Fifty Eighth Street MR 109. My listing below on all the known tracks, in fact nobody had ever seen the 3rd Blue Musette before, outside June Jackson and Miki Champion, the rest are Orange, and reputibly there is a green release, but Ive never seen it. here's the full listing and bit of blurb I wrote some years back on the label... MR-100— Unknown "¨MR-101— Unknown "¨ MR-102 — Sonny Craver - I’m No Fool / Come Back "¨"¨ MR-103 — Unknown "¨ MR-104 — Unknown "¨ MR-105 — Unknown "¨ MR-106— Unknown "¨ MR-107— Unknown "¨ MR-108— Unknown "¨ MR-109 / MR-110 - Bobby Bryant Sextet -Fifty-Eighth Street / A Change is Gonna Come "¨ MR-112 — June Jackson - You're Welcome /Bottoms Up "¨"¨"¨ 76- 9151 — Mickie Champion -What Good Am I(Without You) / The Hurt Still Lingers On "¨ "¨65-10 — Lenni Groves - Sweet Sixteen (With A Broken Heart) / Fool For A Day "¨"¨ 65-11 — Lennie Groves - Bye Bye Baby / A Million Tears Ago "¨"¨ 65-12 — Lenni Groves - Sweet Sixteen (With A Broken Heart) / Good Show "¨"¨ 65-13 — Garnett Sykes -Longer Than Forever /Go Go Girl "¨"¨ 65-14 — Ervin Rucker -She's Alright / Kids Together "¨"¨ 65-15 — Unknown but that Musette Acetate exists and states - You know How Love Is / Show Business "¨(MR xx 615) * not credited but June Jackson sang that, I'd eat my hat if he did not!) "¨65-16 — Arlene Williams - Duck 'All Over Town'/ Duck 'All Over Town' (Part 2)"¨"¨65-17 — The Other Four - Searching For My Love/ Why "¨So The two New tracks to me are "¨65-12 — Lenni Groves - Sweet Sixteen (With A Broken Heart) / Good Show and MR-109 / MR-110 — Bobby Bryant Sextet -Fifty-Eighth Street / A Change is Gonna Come. "¨They are not mint but who cares, they exist and I’ll be tracking down Mint copies from here on in.. The Bobby Bryant release states produced by R.O Bryant, and these two tracks gained a release on the Chess label nationally. "¨For me the addition of MR-109 /MR-110 really point to there very likely being releases for the missing MR series numbers, 101, 103, 104,105,106,107,108, who knows but these are really obscure…. Miki Champion is a very strange release with a release number 76-9151 that does not fit in any order, 3 are on the blue label, the rest on Orange But I did read somewhere that a green label release came out??? So if you have anything else to add, now is your time!! Malcolm

Nice track, think she's a tad underrated Brenda Lee Eager, maybe not in certain circles, but she has allot of quality tunes on mercury and other labels, all cheap...great voice hasn't she.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01nQf1VHXuU

Joe King - Speak On Up / Whats wrong — Original Promo Acetate £200 Reduced to £80 genuine orig acetate of a killer track, looks the business.....blurb below... This is an original promotional acetate sourced form the Prix label owner Clem Price, and is both the released sides from the Prix label 45. The label address is Harmonic Sound Production 1482 Felix Drive which is a different address to what appears on the released Prix 45. Harmonic Sound Productions was the in house production company, the song was produced by the label owner and written by the artist who was a staff musician. So it is a publishing promo as the address being different to the label address. I'm reliably told the guy this came from had all the tapes and master record plates for the Prix catalog. This is a typical 7"acetate with a metal base and shellack coating. Clean typed labels and the record plays great with only a couple light visible scuffs. ---- Buyer pays Postage: £2.50 1st Class Signed for (within the UK) covers you up to £50 £8.00 for Fully Insured up to £500 (Within the UK, signed for) Payment direct into my Bank Account, or Pay Pal: arkanoid300@hotmail.com Please note, I'd ask buyers to cover any pay pal or associated fees.

Bull And The Matadors - If You Decide - Toddlin F*** me that's a great record for 15 quid...

Pm'd ya.. mal.C

sold my copy on here some months ago, £200 i think, flip is a killer slowie by the way, dont overlook that side..

LP and 45 releases are two versions of the same song folks, they are near, but not the same, originally spun from the LP by Ben Summers back in 2003, I expect it was semi known before then, it must have been but thats when I first heard it getting spins on the UK soul scene... and your right, a right bugger to find in mint condition... Mal

never seen a demo, bought my issue for £250, which is min minus, which I considered cheap at the price, normally see it at £350/£300.. but hey, you do what you can.. good luck m

Its a good track that Quiet Fire, just wasn't for me... I love sweet stuff, just prefer a smoother groove as it were.. Mixed Breed is still there folks, another good one... Mal

Just got a nice Aussie demo of this, very pleased... mal

absolute rubbish, we've all been 'Objective' most of the above are intelligent people, I mean MOST are.. I think we need to get Pete's dog out more... I'm told he likes stamps especially....

there have been 2 / 3 on eBay of late, last one was stone mint, luvly copy, didn't see the final amount but i assume some chap paid silly money...

Great idea's for Christmas... https://www.notyouraveragecrap.com/ m

did these go at all? m

We were being serious...

My view is that allot of these prices are to a large percent from new sellers on the site, like allot of you I've bought and sold on here for years, and know who sells what and what their pricing is like, but I see allot of unrealistic set sale or offers on stuff that's pretty common and in most cases goes for allot less. Sign if the times, people want to raise cash through their old record collections, and allot may have paid allot more in the past, but those records have tumbled in price the last year or so... And People will simply try their luck....I I've paid over the odds for tracks off soul source, the way I see it is it's a small economy of its own, I'm happy to put in through buying and selling with regular sellers... So remember that, you buy mine, and in turn I'll buy yours.... Laughs Malcolm

That's sad news, his recordings on the soul note are all favorites, and the tracks in the LP you guys did we're brilliant, great singer, Rest in peace bill spoon

Hi Mitch, sent you an email with a list, see that you have read that, and some of the 45's I wanted are on hold, if you could reply to confirm either way? Kind regards, malcolm

Blimey, I always go in there when I'm in town, think the other shop in Hanaway Street moved recently as well, they must have put the rents up.. that said there is a ton of building work going on in the street.. wonder if thats issue? he's had a Lawrence & The Arabians on Hem, and Bobby Hutton - Wanting You, Needing You Issue on the wall, plus assorted others for years, i keep on offering for them, but they are still there, see if you dont actually sell any records, you cant make a profit... and look what happens M

Is there anything they didn't cover this lot? I love 'Frankenstein' great track, heard Boris Gardner version of Booker T / MG's - Melting Pot the other day, thats a good version. just remembered there is a seriously great live version of Green Onions by Booker T/The MG's, best by a country mile.. loads of thrashing guitar, lots of attitude!!! good luck on the above mate.. Mal

Mike McDonald - god knows I Love this, pure pop, but its got something.. just nice to listen to, i have it as a boot as I'd never pay the money for an original, but its there and give me pleasure..

Got any Aussie stuff Bri?
