Big Question, and Long intro, which can be answered in one small statement, If its good, its good, if its crap, dont buy it... All that needs to be said in this regard, and sorry I dont mean that disrespectfully to Andy Jackson. Love the Smash ad by the way... Mal.C

Hey Flanny, tried to get a Midwest franchise, recently, only to find you already had it, Luckily Kev had another... probably not really rare but my golly what a track.. M

Love his recordings, think that Maurice Williams version of the song just pips Diamond Joe's... there were some great Charley LP's from the 8ts on the label, had a host of Diamond Joe tracks, all good, bit of info on there, but as LP comps they did tend to be short.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEZ0G4ion80 try this also, as they 'Charley" did a one off, of all the LP tracks I think https://www.burningshed.com/store/charly/product/418/3062/ Mal.C

Sean, which records have actually been reduced? Mal

got my Carrie Cleveland from Cool Chris of Groove Merchant, god thats a while ago now, visited him in 2005,...and he had just got them in at that point.. reason it never was released was Carrie said she didn't like her vocal, but her husband Bill eventually sold the whole press on. Happy days, good track M

It is a great track, I bough mine from Pete years ago, swapped it some months ago, great record though..

Just came across this site, old now the trip was in 2009, but there is some great pictures in here, and interesting facts, states the Dau release of Barbara Acklin is very likely a bootleg. wonder if Roger Blythe can cast any light on that, as he's quoted Dave Flynn's site on local / national releases.. https://www.classicurbanharmony.net/chicago_soultrip_usa.htm Just a nice read.. Mal.C

Buddy Ace - Its Gonna Be Me / Duke VG++ £35 His best on the label I think, and a great mid tempo Northern sawyer.. Artie Fullilove - Thank You / Marlu VG++ Wol £65 Small marker pen on label, and surface scratch on the vinyl, but does not sound at all, otherwise a clean copy, far far superior and rarer than that Christmas thing..
