Beat ballad. First record I paid over £100 for, £150 to be precise.

Despite what some think, mid tempo is played at virtually every venue. As Bazza said, some can't distinguish between beat ballads and mid tempo. Beat ballads however do seem to be a forgotten genre.

Lonette is probably in my all time top ten, awesome record. Guy was in touch with her not so long back, or she got in touch with him.

And this.....

My favourite tempo is mid, and beat ballads. Always try and play a slowie, this one the last time I was out Djing..

Check out the rest f the documentaries as well, some very good and interesting programmes on artist who otherwise wouldn't get a shout anywhere else.

I personally haven't bought any Tom Moulton remixes, can't see the point in them to be honest. They don't make any improvement on the originals IMO. Like Ian says though they probably are aimed at us though.

I was going to ask is their a thriving modern in the true sense of the meaning modern soul scene? Or is it by and large a 70's, 80's etc oldies scene. I know some do champion new material but are they like they counterparts on the northern scene, a minority? I haven't seen any evidence either of Mark Ronson having an effect on the Northern scene, especially at all-nighters? The average age certainly isn't coming down.

Great selection of usual. Essential listening. Many thanks.

As far as I am aware the second clip is the only one that was released. The first one unissued, found by ace/Kent I think early 90's? Covered up by Roger Banks. The PIP release was a Stafford era spin for Guy Hennigan.

I've had some great buys described as vg.

Nothing desperate or defensive. And as for trying to throw ex moderator weight about don't make me laugh. There was no need for what you said, end of. A simple 1964, a few months after the Lp would suffice. I take it you already reported me to the mods to go with your countless other reports.

Balls to you as well you tosser, whats wrong with a civil reply or is that beyond you? I had it down as '67 for some reason. Either way the 45 was after the LP which in the US was a '63 release.

"What Did I Do" is a few years after the Lp.

Timmion, turn round for me is usually five days. Proper metal acetate and better quality.

apparently there is an alternate take and you can't tell until you listen, labels look the same.

Guy Hennigan played an alternate take of It's Worth Anything. Apparently you can only tell when you have both side by side. Can anyone tell me the difference in the labels or matrix?

Wouldn't mind a copy of the Lp once Ian is sorted if it is cheap?

Whilst on the subject of Earl Gaines, how do you tell the difference between the two takes off "It's Worth Anything"? Are the matrix details different. Which one is the rarer alternate take?

There is a cd out of his material (Grapevine) with decent sleeve notes with his recording life in some detail I think. He was a good friend of Dave Box so he might tell you something about him.

Better one of Clifford Binns...

Here's a better picture courtesy of Dave Welding. Read the La Beat CD, there is a bit about Edward's life in the sleeve notes.
