Finally, I have no idea whether Bobby's Cry, Cry, Cry got a Top Rank release in the UK? here it is Under Licence to L.J. Hooker who Festival were a division of, L.J. Hooker still sell insurance in OZ to this day! plus a clutch of AMPAR discs..and Sams "Only Sixteen".. Mal

some more from Aussie Philips... M

Five nice ones from Atlantic!!!

Hope Tony does not mind, Seems its all happening on here....I was collecting Aussie versions of Soul tracks, until it got silly, here are some good ones though... Heart N Soul Looks better than it sounds if you get what I mean, where as the Groove do the business on Adams Apples Brunswick recording.. I was told they were from the North Shore (Sydney) anybody? Had to pop Bobby (Boris) Pickett in there - On a Demo... OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Mal

The Marvin Gaye looks well smart, especially with the Tri center... there is a chap in Beriut who was selling soul 45's some years ago, I sent USA dollars for some interesteting bits, never heard from him again!! laughs Australia you can understand, but South Rhodesian???? M

I've just looked at this again, it says Aus on the label?? M

Demo's are white with Black Logo, issue's are red with Gold Logo, later the purple label with small round logo just Promo in black, or something like that.. mal

its present on the Blue Rock double CD, and has a release number.. but as you say seems they are not that available...is your acetate an original Blue rock / Mercury one? M

Allot, Frank D and George from sydney are the men to speak to, as they are proabbly the leading collectors.. W&G was a melbourne company that had some fabulous releases, most notibly Donald Jenkins on Courtland!! as I've said I'll post more up.. m

Hey how you going, yes I'm looking to return within 5 years, well thats the plan.. I loved living in sydney.. is that a NZ issue, gad damm,the bloke who sold it to me said australian..oh well its still nice. I have tons more I'm gonna post up tonight.. M

Been an age since anybody posted any Aussie Releases up, I collect them, so here's some nice ones! Enjoy! Mal.C

Big Tim & The Empires - Cheaters Never Get Anywhere Been keeping an eye open for this for some years now, never seen one for sale, is it a big ticket track? Mal

Doesn't Tim Brown have one on Auction just now? or was it last month.. Some guy on here has it on demo and Issue, Now that is flash, he periodically says he's gonna sell either one, but I cant remember him being offered the money he wanted at the time... Cant remember his name, Pete Smith will know. Mal

I want it!!! I just cant afford it.. Mal

its the same address? M

Blimey, well I've been after this for an age now, you see the tuther one all the time, but thhis one is IMO allot rarer.. anybody got one for sale? Mal

Same here, brilliant record... Mal

I would think most of us cant really comment on whether they pay or don't pay Royalties, you will never know for sure; you can only hope they did as a buyer... I for one think its a very sad day, they did double up on allot of tracks and as Pete mentioned allot of the earlier sleeve notes were crap, I spent years looking for some records on the wrong labels, and who ever printed Blue lettering on a red background did indeed need shooting...!! But that aside, Soulful Kinda Music, For Collectors only, Under the street Lamp, The 2 Volumes on the Northern Soul of LA, were outstanding, those comps are where allot of people my age heard these records for the first time... Kent's 'Soul Class of 66' was an essential mother of a Northern comp, but you had to have 'Soulful Kinda Music' and 'For Collectors only' for the sheer obscurity factor!! its a shame... Mal.C

Does anybody watch Cbeebies, obviously if only you have kids, anyhow they use a re working of Burts apple crumble - The quick, every day on the bedtime hour, see if you can pick that one up. Dont know if anybody on here works for Trinity Mirror? well if you do check out the IT hold music, this morning was Tony Clark's Landslide, and last Friday when I called it was the Spellbinders!!! I never knew working for a national Newspaper would give me Northern Soul on Hold !! Mal.C.

I want this an all.. Mal.C.
