Today's listening pleasure so far whilst writing a review of the new Brent CD from Kent, was (again for about the 10th time) The new Brent CD, then 4 LP's, Ralph Graham - Differently (again) The Players - He'll be Back - Minit Patti Austin - Havana Candy - CTI Phyllis Hyman - Living All Alone - Philly Int.

Wasn't there test pressing done for the UK release that surface a while back?

I'd love to hear the tape Jim and any others. PS It was Eula Cooper as far as I was aware although I think most knew who it was. Linda Jones at around the same time was Lorraine Rudolph maybe although that was uncovered by the time of the Weekenders.

It was a great night that night Ian. I'll never forget snake refusing to do an encore and Syl and Jackie Ross sing acapella.

It is the Flip to "Is it because I'm black".

It is out of stock at Juno. Better of buying from Secret Stash and be sure you get one, it was only £11 for the pair including postage. Ringleaders: https://secretstashrecords.com/product/ssr2002/ Sharpees: https://secretstashrecords.com/product/ssr2003/

Yep I can't believe the negative comments from anyone who hasn't seen the film. I bet they say the same about records they haven't heard! Do we have a full list of cinema showings yet, hoping there is one near me.

Roy Hamilton has one of the great voices and will take some beating especially big city beat ballad material. Another taken so young.

I've never used it to be honest. Had the app on my phone and iPod but since deleted it. Can't imagine they have much that I don't have already apart for newer material.

The two ten inch acetates had the following tracks on them.... 1. Baby what has happened to our love b/w win you over 2. All Of My Life c/w Lets Start Over There is a topic here from when John Manship got them prior to auctioning them.

Two LP's tonight so far, Ralph Graham "Differently" and Gloria Jones "Come Go With Me".

As said so many mighty mighty fine songs behind him. R.I.P.

A mate of mine bought some OneDerful MPac reel to reel tapes, answered an ad in Echoes or summit I think, I think he thought they were cassette tape Some unreleased Otis Clay and others.

My home on the week is a tin can, better known as a lorry. So it's the iPod whilst at work. New CDs loaded on it this week are the Brent one from Kent, half a dozen plays this week, fantastic. Barbara Lewis and Dee Dee Warwick Atco/Atlantic collections and Donny Hathaway 4 cd anthology set. Should be a few lps waiting for me when I get home.

From the Secret Stash website in the links.

Both very good especially the slower side. Some excellent unissued material surfacing recently. Will some of the DJ's on the rarer side of the scene have the balls to play some of them?

It was Win You Over that turned up with All My Life?

Eugene Davis the owner of Crow/Flaming Arrow and Guy Hennigan was the first to get to him I believe. Guy got the first two Joseph Webster's and he alos got the Nancy Butts acetate/tape. I know Guy had a load of the Nacy Butts, did you off load them to Guy David!

So now you agree it wasn't a 1k record pre ebay, not even ten years ago as for price guides, there are some who take no notice of any of them as prices differ just about everywhere. A guide price doesn't reflect demand or falling demand, quantity turning up and other reasons so by all accounts can be considered out of date almost immediately. I don't disagree with you regarding the price of top end sounds, they are beyond reason and logic many of them and are enough to turn many away from that side of the market. Who pays these prices and what is their thinking, is it a serious collector, local DJ's looking for a bigger stage or some looking at these as an investment, pension pot?

I've seen it for well into three figures at times.

Weren't they pressed somewhere in this country?

Tim Brown 1st "Guide" 2004 valued at £300 which IMO at that time was nearer the price it was selling for. I can certainly remember it for around that price without the need to resort to a guide. Pete Smith commenting on the fact he sold it around then for something nearer Tim's price.....before ebay it was a lot less as well.

I can remember it reaching the dizzy prices of £400/£500 and people saying what they are saying now. But Dave highlighted the crazy world of the price of Northern Soul records with the price of the Al Williams in comparison to The Masqueraders.

"How" wasn't a 1000 pound sound before ebay, I and others by the look of this topic can remember it for a lot less, you must have been looking in the wrong places.

Yep my mistake. I think I should have said the following track or the cd only Keep On Tryin? I will check.
