Eh? Your reserve was obviously higher than the figure Mr Manship achieved. can't remember, but wasn't it four grand or something... Think the point was probably the highest price you'd get would be John's auction price. If you want to keep it, that's your call obviously. An impressive find... Just clicked the link to the digging stories on the SoulStrut board... Few hours of amazing reading, much not soul related, but same buzz nonetheless.

Della Reese came out on a, gulp, reissue 45 to promote on of those Mojo Dancefloor Jazz comps. From memory had Mel Torme on the flip...

Yup, dutch 45 only. Goes for about 100 quid...

Got a copt of the album for a fiver if anyone wants it?

Is a repress an original? Eh?

So can this be considered the 1st UK press original? So is it okay to play this out then? [ducks for cover]

For collectors of unusual foreign pressed soul 45s: A pair of singles on His Masters Voice (Nigeria) "Stateside Series" - wonder how many others there were? No idea what these are worth, and can't be bothered putting them on ebay. Both are in EX condition. Make me an offer via PM if you're interested... would prefer to let them go as a pair. THE SUPREMES "Baby Love" b/w "Ask Any Girl" (HMV JON 118) BETTY EVERETT "The Shoop Shoop Song" b/w "Hands Off" (HMV JON 104) Scan attached - anybody know anything else about Nigerian pressed soul?!

Think it's same as released version - and it's one sided!

What about a pre-release 10" Associated Recordings acetate? Hmmm...

Well, if you did it wouldn't be a £300 tune!

So... is this now a £300 record then?

Wah! I can't believe it. Earlier this afternoon I posted a want for that 100 Club 45, can't believe I missed it...

With all the frenzy trying to locate this year's 100 Club 45, it reminded me that I was too slow off the mark last year - and a CAVERNOUS gap has been left in my complete run. If anyone can help it would be MUCH appreciated. Decent price offered. PMs please!!!!

Reluctant sale of my personal copy to fund another record - if it doesn't sell back into the collection it goes... DYNAMITE SINGLETARY "Same Way You Love Your Man" b/w "I Really Love You" (Singletary) M- £175 NOW £150 Recently sold on Rare Soul 45s for £250 - so a bargain price. Seems to be a bit of a buzz on this right now - and rightly so. Very nice mid-tempo male vocal dancer, backed with deep soul with a beat. Great copy. Paypal as gift if possible. PM if interested.
