Love the video, some great energy there... something strikes me though, It must be strange closing your eyes to your favorite Northern sound, half pissed, you open them and your surrounded by young Japanese Dudes all with hats, dancing far far better then you ever could.. Obviously what it is to live in another country.. I must say I'd love to go to a Japanese Soul gig!! Not much use in Butch saying lets be having ya!! eh.... what a response for Frank Wilson... Mal.C.

Seems that I've been told!! so the repress for now, and an original when one comes along.. Obsessive record collector, sound familiar ? laughs Just heard another I now want, Roland Alphonso - Puzzle,seems expensive as well.. M

I'm now leaning towards an original press, on JA Soul right.. anybody? would you have a scan so i know what I'm looking at? Thing that frightens me with Jamaican stuff is the quality and Variety of presses, I'm not referring to the crackles and badly pressed labels, that makes em feel right In my opinion, but there seems to be so many re issues, etc etc that I'm not sure whether I'm actually buying an original pressed 45, even when you get what you think is the right label, the quality gives you headaches as to whether is the real deal, its not like Bell sound / sheldon MR stamps that the yanks have.. all advice is gratefully accepted, I'm a neewbie at this.. Mal.C.

That was it, Dawn Penn - Are you There, could almost be something like Amanda humphrey - power of Love.. almost....... Mal.C.

cheers Pete, I'll check the section out...., can u suggest where I might get the repro? other than Evil bay, cause there aint none listed there.. Mal

Byron Lee - Frankenstein / SOUL I Love this record, its Ska right??? always been around this type of music but never really took that much of an interest that I might gain a taste of my own, if you know what I mean, anyhow this is the DOGS, and I must have one... There is a Dawn penn 45 also, sounds like a chicago soul record minus the backing, very very good.. what else is good by this guy, and anybody got one for sale?? Mal.C.

Think you all might wanna add Tommy Knight-Dont bring back those memories / Unissued Shrine and Bobby Reed to that list of amazing Shrine productions...??? I know they never actually came out in the 6ts, But Shirley Edwards, JD Bryant, Ray pollard, Carios, Prophets cant be mentioned without them, can they? Christ I'd just love to own a Shrine record, I never have... Can somebody get the Gasher another bit of Cake!! he looks like he's about to BURST!!! Mal.C.

pm'd ya!!!!! Mal.C

I just got one, which Liza my wife had put away a month ago,, had Kurt Harris, Eddy Hughes, Jean king - Just Say goodbye, and a version of Timi Yuro - It'll Never be Over for me, that I've never heard before, with a nice Harmonica in it.... so well worth it, who ever sent this, many thanks... and where was that version from cause its not the UK released 45, or that Purple LP from the US everybody has....????? Mal.C.

RENALDO DOMINO just say the word Label: BLUE ROCK 42195 one-sided acetate w/ typed label Won this on Ebay last week, great track which did come out on Blue rock and smash, I think... anyhow the seller could not tell me anything about it, other than he got it from a prominent Chicago DJ, anybody seen Blue rock Acetates before, know anything about this item? was it an in house thing or publishers acetate etc.. all or any helpful info really appreciated.. Mal.C.

Right, you just gotta read all the posts haven't you.. ?? sorry all, it seems Yann already mentioned the link, but you gotta paint a picture !! laughs M

Not unusual Gene, but there are quite a few Funk collectables on Mo groove Label, so they deffo had a record deal, it wasn't just a freebie press to give out.. M

Ahh, ok, both produced by a guy called Sunny Threatt, and he has writing credits on Something's bad... That said, some times the info on their comps was simply incorrect, I was looking for Soul Bros inc on Emblem on the Boo label for years before I realized it was simply a miss type...but hey tim Brown knows more that I will ever know about soul 45's.. Maybe they are just stating there is a link in production, and writing credits... who knows.. M

I may have this wrong, but remember reading on the sleeve note to Soulful Kinda music, the eighties soul supply comp, that Phyliss Brown was one half of Sonny & Phyliss, also of Nomad's - Something Bad Fame???? So I assume 'Top Man', aka either Tim Brown or Kev Roberts who wrote the sleeve notes, is saying the pair were part of the Nomads.. Can anybody confirm this? Mal.C.

The Brenda Lee eager actually came out twice on mercury (Vertigo) the first issue is on Silver only, the second has the skyscraper picture, I bought my silver copy for £20 and recently the second issue at the 100 club anni for £15, as my silver one had some hiss, something which is a pain with Mercury disc I'm sure you all agree...Great track though isn't it, paid £300 on the Essex 1V from shifty last year, in mint cond... Hope that helps. mal:thumbsup:

I've got a copy of John Tee - Crazy on original which I bought from somebody on here, anyhow its all mint except it's warped to hell, like a ski jump going up and down, that said, if you don't look at it you don't notice what so ever when played on my technic, and it looks mighty fine in its sleeve... A bargin at the price I paid, and a very rare 45 to boot... Mal.C.

couple months ago I sold my copy for £400, then bought it back at £200 from the same guy, he got a White one, demo that is, and now chuck is back sitting next to Ray Hines in the racks...and I'm a very happy man for it.. !! Laughs Mal.C.
