How about the walking home on a sat afternoon? having hit every record shop in central Birmingham first thing, and the central indoor and flea markets, maybe a record fair in the center, clutching a pile of records the journey home on the train and bus were always fun. but were never as heightened as legging it down the final road to my parents house, I mean legging it!!! as for the post, I try to forget them these days cause the post is so bad. m

Wasn't ia all styrene are orig, Vinyl are boots, or something like that? m

Wow Mark, I haven't heard that in an age, what a great track that Four Tops is... Absolutely love it. M

Chuck Jackson 4 track white label 45 Just bought this today for 4 quid today in a shop in Brighton, has Hand it over, Any Day now, These chains of love and Good things, on it, Obviously not an original 6ts release, I wondered whether it's a Charley R&B , or Kent maybe? Says SMP/INF in the run out groove, It's an old disc, looks like an 8ts press. I don't normally collect re issues but I'm strangely attracted to this one, Must be because its Chuck Jackson. Anybody have any ideas? Mal.c.

I did wonder on that one, haven't heard the Ruffin version, but clays such a track, so back on thread then...

this came out twice on the same label, the one your selling is the first issue of the song, so for allot of folk, its the disc to get.. i hope you sell it. M

You know what i had a feeling about that, cause I'd seen a monarch white test press of it some time ago, tuther didn't did it? m

One that gets missed allot is Major lance - I Never Thought (I'd Be Losing You) and Love Pains from his Now Arriving LP, got a nice British Motown demo of the LP which carried a nice pic of the Major as apposed to the strange red carpet on the yank release. Another that gets missed allot is the Aussie only Sue Barker release, basically a jazz funk LP, with a really nice version of Groovin, but 'Love to the People' is very nice, sounds like Curtis Mayfield song to me , I'd have to check when I get home. Marlena Shaw's Acting up has the very nice 'I'm back for More' LP only again.. Mal.C. here's that special carpet

1st issue, the one you want.. m

wondered if Clay hunt - Since I lost you?

there was a really good live LP somebody was selling on here a month or so ago, they put up a clip, sounded really good... Don't know whether others will share this view, but from my armchair at home, 'Looking for You' really is not a favorite, great song but so many others stand above it IMO, It Was Easier To Hurt Her, comes top for me... Mal

Hope you don't mind me saying Ady, allot of folk would feel we didn't get the full package if we did not hear 'Trying to Love Two'. And deffo worth suggesting 'I Forgot to be your Lover' as an ultimate William Bell ballad.. I've Learned to play this on my guitar, but I cant sing for toffee..make my day to see William sing that live.. Mal.C.

Cheers Pete, i'm interested in these as you know, i'll see if I can come back with some you may not have there.. Carl Carlton "Competition" sounds nice on an Aussie CBS copy. - is this for sale, and what else have you got? Mal.C

Perry & The Harmonics - Do The Monkey With James / Mercury 45 or the LP (Intrigue with Soul), mail me if you have one for sale. Mal

yep, all three of those are truly awful... cant stand any of em.

what a great track that is, well both sides... and you cannot forget It's A Dream I've Always Had (AKA Hey Girl)!!! m

I dont think so, Locket is the local label, nationally on Commonwealth United Records. The Legends did have release on Red Balloon though, but its 'Something to Remember you by', flipped with 'Gotta Let you go' which is a real killer, might be that release you have seen? Mal.C

I agreed, absolutely superb, Love the image of the recording of 'The way you've been acting lately'.. Ive never actually seen a picture of Ed Wingate, I assume its him, as its captioned Wingate.. he look very formidable...

Hs anybody mentioned: The Muscle Shoals Swampers - House For Sale, off the Kent CD, Double Cookin.. WOW!!! Pip this next to Liberty - Girl You Better Wake Up, and your there...well I am anyway.. Mal.C

Soul Brothers Inc - Pyramid - Golden eye - Need no introduction - £20 wouldn't that be a clanger? just remember I emailed you first Baz!!!

seller just came back to me again, said he prefers not to divulge where things came from but he says this is from a Publishers acetate out of Miami... so there you go. m

Here's some recentish ones from me, first two have Northern appeal, the rest some folk may not like, all fabulous music imho... Liberty - Girl You Better Wake Up Brian Auger Trinity - In and Out Wayne Cochran - Chopper 70 Manzel - Space Funk Al Hirt - Harlem Hendoo Mal.C.

Unknown 60s Northern Soul Acetate HEAR https://www.ebay.co.u...9#ht_500wt_1413 Seems to be a different take on the Kent anniversary The Hytones - Good News 45, I asked the chap selling it where he got it from, and he cant remember, and he offered nothing more than that. Deffo a different take, but if you are one of the four bidding on this, beware!! Mal.C.

Are you allowed to have two? This is The DOGS!!!

'Inverts' Used to be a tenner off John Doe, or who ever john doe was..... its a weird record this, the vocal aint much but it's a strangely addictive 45... wish I had not sold it... Had to run like a buggar through the tube system to get home tonight, had Patti Blasting Loud in my ears!! Unbelievable how fast this record can make you go,... Like a BAT OUT OF HELL!! Mal.C
