The desperate comment wasn't aimed at you directly, it's aimed at anyone who has to resort to Elvis, Dolly f***** Parton or bloody Lulu.

If my opinion doesn't count then why ask what I wouldn't play or anyone else for that matter who wishes to comment? As this topic relates directly to the Elvis track you played you are going to get a comment or two If you don't want my opinion don't ask if I have one you will get it whether you like it or not

With the Elvis track I would go by my ears, and not play it. I actually love Elvis, the only other artist I listen to outside of soul so not just saying this cause it's an Elvis track. Must be desperate to be different if you have to resort to Elvis as well IMHO. There is so much unknown/forgotten, lesser/semi known soul/northern soul out there that can be played to make you different from other DJ's, not just expensive but 100's of cheap 45's.

I wouldn't think for a minute you would Davie. Like I said it is better than a lot of the crap thats played under the banner of R&B, still think there's so much soul out there though before stuff like this gets played, IMHO.

maybe but if they don't recognise the voice of Elvis then their ear 'oles must be painted on

No idea who it was, must have been so shit faced it affected their hearing or their lug 'oles were painted on Posted soundfile in sounds, must say it's better than some of the rock and roll/R&B played at venues

No thanks

Don't buy blind anymore, usually get to hear something I'm interested in before buying these days, haven't the money to waste on shite anyway Back when I built up my first collection bought loads blind, too many to mention but usually from dealers who knew what my tastes was. Rarely bought of lists back then either as most nighters were full of record dealers and sales boxes.

Martin Brogan did me a tape in the 80's of cover versions by British artists, not seen or heard the tape for 15 years or so but will try and find it, bet there are some stinkers on it

Look-a-like pressing done early 90's. Fooled a few a the time too There was alos a few done with a date stamped on them.

Not ringing any bells this one so wouldn't mind knowing more myself

I'll get some tapes and do you copies Ady.

........you've bought a boot, go back three places....

a bit cheaper >>HERE<< and >>HERE<<. The first does ship internationally I think.

Just looked round and Manship has one on his site @ a tenner.

It's on H&L and like you say a cheapie.

Just found four and half hours of tape from the 100 Club 3rd October 1987...will have to have a listen next few days

Last three copies I've seen, £60, £120 & £150, oh and Hammy's @ £75. I've the studio takes on a cd somewhere, two takes of each side, with horns, without horns.

Agree with you there Jo, all good records and a great voice too

Have seen one go for £1500. Like you say Gareth at least a grand.

The Cotillion release is 24 Hours/Shake My Hand Don't forget her rarest on USD - Lots Of Love
