Sorted Now Many Thanks
"What Can I do" is a dead ringer for Levi Stubbs on a slowish crossover style tune.

Walter Wison, Your Love Keeps Me Crying On Wand. Ever Booted ?
Ha ha, I know - but I don't work in Banking....more's the pity. If I did I could afford more records : Bonus, what's that? Hope you are well.

Norman Connors - Take It To The Limit....12" Only?
Take it to the limit was massive everywhere as a new release. I remember Adam also used to champion it.

Ian Levine On Solar Radio
You can record it on sky Pete, if you have sky that is. Solar have a regular roster of DJs and times and so I guess it's a case of fitting into a gap in the schedule. Steve

John Anderson's Soul Junction Does It Again, Hopkins Bros
Some interesting points coming out on this thread. As a collector and soul fan these things can throw up a real dilemma - and it is all too easy for people to dismiss just how hard it is to find new records. I think some people think they are still lying around in junk shops waiting to be discovered.....much much harder than that. This one is from what I've read licensed directly from the Hopkins themselves so they will see some benefit. Andy mentioned Tommy & Derbys and it's a fair call that reminded me of a conversation driving on a way to a gig with a friend. He was gutted because he'd heard Tommy & Derbys wasn't coming out cos the (UK label) stock was damaged. I went "yippee" and was delighted much to his surprise and shock. But that's cos I had the record on Swing. And credit to Butch and Andy for breaking and making this. It's the real deal when it comes to rare soul Niter music (unlike Bobby Patterson records covered up - ho ho!!). But I am also sure the Hopkins Brothers will continue to be a big spin at Lifeline (and elsewhere where Butch and Andy (and Mick) DJ) for some time to come.

What "Right now"??? It's a lovely floating mid tempo sound. I've played it at crossover dos and been asked what it is etc. Got mine years ago for £20, and I do agree it doesn't show up. But have another listen..... And Ted I was joking .....Whitechapel was cleared out in the 80s......there were some pretty good records there but nothing on Shrine or Mirwood.

WOW! Wonder how many he has on that Bob & Earl store stock??

Ted, the guy in Whitechapel has about 50 copies of J D Bryant on Shrine. My advice if for you to sell your copy quick before the market gets flooded and the price comes down

Just talking to a bloke who lives in Whitechapel. He reckons there's a garage storage place there with over a million US 45s from the 60s in there and he wants to sell them....Off to check after work. I mentioned the Shrine label and he thought there was a few boxes of 'em....

Seriously...?

John Anderson's Soul Junction Does It Again, Hopkins Bros
Hey Andy, Don't remember this level of anger when the Ravins or Salt & Pepper came out in the Uk to think of two recent examples? It's one record that's been played for a while now by those lucky enough to have it, and I don't think it'll do irrepairable damage to the rare soul scene by being put out. Salt & Pepper is still played out quite a bit. And the two surviving Hopkins Brothers might actually see a bit of benefit from their work as well.

Taxman To Hit Ebay Sellers
Nah, course not Macca, they'll carry on as usual. No tax men there, they got rid of them.

Taxman To Hit Ebay Sellers
So this could be another form of triple taxation, for example if you purchased goods in the first place (and lets not talk records here for a moment) you were probably 1) taxed on your income that purchased the goods in the first place 2) paid VAT on the goods as well when you purchased them 3) and now pay tax when you sell the goods you purchased. Give a man a fookin break! And this from the same organisation that 'wrote off' £11 Billion in unpaid company taxes at the stroke of a pen. Put Stephen Hester in charge of the Inland Revenue.
