It was revealed on Soul Source not so long ago who it actually is, Shirley Turner.

Greatest group ever and this line up is THE Temptations. Just not the same when Ruffin, Kendricks and Williams no longer part of the group. Cheers Dante

to some it doesn't, many list vg+ for what a minter should go for and plenty pay mint prices for vg or vg+ condition discs.

no it isn't, it just gives you an indication and doesn't list everything that goes through ebay. Auctions are not a true representation of the price, an auction usually comes down to two individuals and and all logic often goes out of the window.

Been a few lately kicking about so would think book price bit ambitious. Would agree with DT, £900ish.

maybe in ebay sales or subsection of?

Dave, you have a lot of good to say and plenty of knowledge to share but how you write your posts it may as well be in Chinese at times. When you leave no spaces after commas (usually one space) and full stops (usually two spaces) and highlighting everything you write makes it as others have said difficult and people just give up reading. Try leaving a space and setting your text out in paragraphs, leave the caps locks off and don't highlight or make all your text bold, it will be a lot better for everyone. I'll edit your original post for you a little later to show what I mean.

I would agree with above, Willie Mason pales into insignificance compared to Nat Hall IMHO. And as Mace says you get the bonus of the flip, similar in style.

I doubt they dare say anything to Keb? Have you noticed no one puts a name to posts like these? Keyboard warriors hiding behind a moniker

Has the Fred Williams had any exposure outside of small side rooms? It was played at Lifeline by George but it was earlier on. The record is fantastic but like you say the pace is too slow.

I'm good Nev, likewise I hope. Gotta agree with you and know this is more for the funkier stuff, but as we were talking about Wally Coco and Flourentine I thought I'd mention Clay Brown Some of the funkier stuff is good, some of it second rate and think at the end of the day if the 60's stuff was still being found much of the funkier edged stuff wouldn't get a look in.

Think the same as you Dylan. Pretty average as far as a record goes but it goes down well with the dancers and that's all that matters really. Much prefer the Clay Brown on the same label, Why You Want To Change, that is a good record!! IMO of course!

I would say they are all tough to find but out of them all the Timco release would be the easier one to get.

The 6x6 vocal isn't very good at all Ian, in fact it is pretty bad. There is a previous topic about this and John Pugh has an input top the topic too.

plenty have seen and heard the acetate in question, some very knowledgeable collectors at that so why doubt what some are saying simply because you (and some others) haven't seen or heard it? It isn't very good mind

thats at least two for sure then, missed that one. Sure to be others but it is rare on that label.

It was probably Sam who spun it at Lifeline, he has been spinning it around the country for a while, as have a few others.

like you say Paul depends on the venue, the atmosphere and the open to something different the crowd is. George set pretty well received at Lifeline when we was at Bidds, doubt it would be received as well elsewhere at 4.00am, not a full hour anyway. I doubt a full hour of this would be well received at any all-nighter at this moment in time, not in the main room?

The Menzola release is a one known copy isn't it? Seen a few of the Timco ones.

When they were done originally there was I think only Half a dozen with the date on them. Like Darren says when they first appeared some went for a lot of money, one or two thinking they were real.

The ones with the date is the rarer boot ;-) They was done around the same time as the others you mention but not by the same person, would be around 1990?

Think it's always been one of those Ian that has been bubbling away under the surface for want of an expression but never really had its day. Like you say maybe now is the time but somehow doubt it unless someone like Butch plays it then everyone will want one to play So many good tunes bubbling away under the surface but too many DJ's lack any imagination and need to know something is popular before playing it.

I've seen a few comments stating that sales posts should be locked, there is nothing to stop the seller locking the topic

I would assume you are simply playing devils advocate here Derek but you know that anyone who has been around records for an x amount of years knows when someone is extracting the urine. It's not hard to find a price, often it only needs five minutes or so to find a bench mark figure for a record. Yes there will be discrepancies but isn't there always in life? The difference here was the seller was fully aware of the record going through ebay on many occasions and I would assume the prices achieved yet still lists at a figure in £'s when it doesn't fetch what was asked in $'s.

does anyone really give a sh&t if a track was played at the time or not? I don't see you giving Paul stick for using tracks which were not about at the time his play was set. Artistic license is used in practically every film which has some truth to it. Whether the film is any good or not at the end of the day it's not a bad sound track is it? I can think of worse. Ok one or two a bit cheesy and would have been better if not used but there's some great Northern in there Trackdown, fantastic
