That Dusty is a Philips NEW ZEALAND issue ..... trust you're well Mal, you coming back Down Under any time?

So ... does Joy Lovejoy exist or she a figment of everybody's imagination ???

Great taste as always Ady. Hope you're well mate. Is it on 45 ? I have it on her Maison de Soul LP .

Here's a great colour clip of Johnny Rivers from 1967 doing his version of "The Snake" !!!!!!!!!! https://noolmusic.com/videos_2/johnny_river...snake_music.php

Incidentally, I've always thought Bobby's "Love Is Good" (UA) was his best northern sounding tune

This is not an Aussie

To the best of my knowledge Bobby Goldsboro's "Too Many People" was never released in either 7" or EP form in Australia ??? I stand to be corrected though if someone can show otherwise. Of his various Aussie EP's, the only two northern tracks of his that are appear are "Its Too Late" & "She Chased Me". As for the femme version of Too Many People, I guess you mean Dinah Lee's version ? Ermm, yes, it stomps like mad !

The greatest male soul singer of all time.

Also a version of The Stranger by the Marvelettes on their Sophisticated Soul LP on Tamla from '67 .

The LP is brilliant throughout ! I have the LP , but it would be nice to have the 7". If anyone has a 7" for sale please PM me. Thanks.

Ray, one of your best recordings was "Lifetime Guarantee of Love". Do you remember the version by Charles Drain on RCA ? Who cut it first ?

Mitch Ryder did a superior version of Blessing In Disguise on DynoVoice 901

Also got a release on AUSSIE POLYDOR (black label).

Mark, would you say that "soulful house" is "taking things forward" ?

Trade Martin

If one lives by the so called original vinyl only policy, then it is only the LP. The Expansion 45 is a modern reissue, albeit legally licensed.

And the Connie Austin has a fab stompin' flipside too!

The only "legitimate" way to play this is off the LP

Same here, well said Stevie

Sue, forget Denny (fantastic fella that he is, lol mate !), get it in its rarest and most desirable form, an Aussie Tamla Motown stock copy in EX+ condition. A mere $50 worthless Aussie dollars. Postage cheap cos it will be coming to you coming from Sydney

Could someone clearly set out difference between first and second issues and supply scans of same. Thanks.

ANYONE SEEN OR HEARD FROM DES PARKER ? HE IS NOT RESPONDING TO MY EMAILS ?

What's going to be the reaction if the system crashes when John auctions Frank Wilson ?

Ian, some excellent cuts on Jimmy and the Beavers on that sweet soul CD series of "Battle of the Bands" some years ago ...

Des, PM'd you several times but no response from you ???
