GREAT RECORD NEVER REALLY HAD ITS DAY............YET. METHINKS

TOBI LEGEND - MALA ISSUE LOU RAGLAND - AMY ISSUE YUM YUMS - ABC PARAMOUNT ISSUE I think all these exist.... Definately known as a ONE OFF ONLY EARL JACKSON - ABC ISSUE And only TWO KNOWN I think LARRY CLINTON - DYNAMO ISSUE

CANT FIND A SCAN OF AN ORIGINAL PRELUDES BUT THE LABEL OF A REAL ONE SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS..... THE 70'S 2ND ISSUES CAME FROM JOHN ANDERSON (SOUL BOWL) I THINK THE 2ND ISSUE PRELUDES IS ON AN ORANGE LABEL WTH HARTHON IN A PLAIN STRAIGHT TYPEFACE. THE UNITED FOUR, BODY MOTIONS, VOLCANOS (FALSE ALARM) ETC... WERE ALL DONE AS 2ND ISSUES IN THE SAME WAY...SEE BELOW 2ND ISSUE 2ND ISSUE 2ND ISSUE HOPE THIS HELPS.... APART FROM THE UNITED FOUR ALL THE OTHER RED LABELLED HARTHON ORIGINALS ARE QUITE HARD AND ALSO VERY COLLECTIBLE. A REAL PRELUDES MIGHT FETCH £150 TO £200 ALL THE BEST HAMMIE

No TIMI YURO - IT'LL NEVER BE OVER FOR ME for you then Chris what a shame Or an ERNIE & ED - INDICATION - JAY BOY to name a couple of british only gems

This also came out on British Sue circa 1966 which is nice but has gotta be pretty rare

You obviously realise the old pressing does'nt have the fantastic vocal side 'Something about my baby' which is why this record has gone up so much in value. The pressing has the instumental of 'Satisfy me baby'

Yes indeed, I was Dj'ing with the Dyson Saturday and i had it in my hand (the record) after he gave it a spin

I have a red copy of this dont know which is rarer red or light blue ? Incidentally I prefer the other side - 'What did she do'

What a choon !!!!! good luck with this one. got a nice little number by Andrew Brown - Lets get together on Four Brothers which is quite hard, not quite in the same league tho' - I wonder if both artists are related ?

Have a nice demo of this gem (sorry not for sale) In my opinion I reckon this is harder to get than Betty Moorer (had 3 copies on my trips) and I think the Impalas version is also better imo. Anyway good luck sure you'll get a copy

Have to agree .... above price for RONNIE MCCAIN way below par. I payed £85 for a minter 2 years ago off ebay and thought I got a bargain

Cliff ..... get to molly's soul night in Bedford and I'll stick me blue copy on specially for you

Something like that must be happening.... The last 2 copies on ebay sold by Craig Moorer have gone thro at approx $400 apiece

here's another 5 ...... TIMOTHY WILSON - I MUST LOVE YOU - SKY DISC MARTHA STARR - NO PART TIME LOVE FOR ME - THELMA CHARLES FARREN - YOU TURNED MY WHOLE LIFE AROUND - HAWK TWO PEOPLE - STOP LEAVE MY HEART ALONE - REVUE RIVINGTONS - I LOVE YOU ALWAYS - VJ

ATCO ? IS THERE SOMAT I DONT KNOW HERE

DUMBER AND DUMBER DAVE. LIKE YOU SAID WE'VE ALL DONE IT, I'VE GOT MORE STORIES LIKE THAT ONE ABOUT LETTING RECORDS GO , IM WELLING UP

Around 1978 a friend of mine called Dave Chase was going to the Wigan oldies Allnighter I said to Dave 'can you see if you can sell these records for me mate, a couple of not so well known tracks and 3 played out oldies'. I then said 'Try and get me around £20 if you can as Ginger has promised to sell me his copy of Margaret Mandolph now that its been pressed' Dave duly obliged and got me the £20 so I was well pleased and bought him a couple of beers. Oh, the records he sold for me to buy Margaret Mandolph were..... THE HIGH KEYS - LIVING A LIE - VERVE BLACK ISSUE EDWARD HAMILTON - BABY DONT YOU WEEP - MARY JANE TOMMY BUSH - I DONT LIKE IT - RIKA SILKY HARGAVES - KEEP ON LOVING ME - DEARBORN ISSUE JOSEPH MOORE - I JUST CANT GET TO YOU - MAR-V-LUS OH DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR

BILLY KEENE - WISHING AND HOPING - VAULT/PAULA GEORGE 'DUKE' BYRD - I KNOW IM IN LOVE WITH YOU - PAYTONS NOTATIONS - YOU SHOULD KNOW - SUE CAESARS - GIRL I LOVE YOU - LANIE BETTY FIKES & THE PASSIONS - PROVE IT TO ME - SOUTHBOUND

Sorry for the 'Shiggy DIGgy' could'nt resist.

FAR MORE 'COMMON' THAN I THOUGHT THEN

Only the ONE as far as I know. Originally owned by Rob Thomas but when he had a big sell up then MICK H was quick to pounce...... Anyway good luck on this one, what a tune

Im sure me ol mate Pete Hulatt will give it a spin tomorrow night if you ask.... you can always make him an offer but I dont think you'll have much luck

OH DEAR, OH DEAR, I think the guy must be selling a second hand collection he has aquired from an ex soulie from the 70's who's found a box of his old records in the loft The BOBBY GARRETT on Mirwood looks okay plus a few odds n sods. Dig those old pressings like the Gloria Jones, Sandra Phillips, and Magnificents they got to be rare now Unfortunately someone however has taken the bait and put in an initial bid of £30 on the probable boot of Johnny Sayles OH DEAR, OH DEAR. Just hope we dont see a £1000 bid on the 'PINK' ROBBY LAWSON

PENETRATIONS - HIGHLAND DEMO OR ISSUE SEEN EM GO FOR £250 UP TO £350 (I MISSED ONE - RECENTLY AT £300) PENETRATIONS - TERI DE WERE TALKING £400 TO £500 EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE 'EARLIER' TERI DE LABEL HAS TO BE THE SAME OR HIGHER IN VALUE, I THINK THE GROOVERS IS ABOUT THE SAME BUT SOUL SHAKERS, JIMMY GRESHAM ETC... A LOT MORE OBVIOUSLY, LEN JEWELL A LOT LOT MORE OK MATE

Original has a 'bed' type stamp in the dead wax like you see on MGM records. That should be easy to see in good light
