Yes, as below - strange title given that it doesn't really say that Sounds better every time I listen to it

Any more info?

???!

What a strange story - tell us more! Which shop was it, and who was the shop owner's mate? Were the 200 copies just sat there waiting for someone to come along and find them? How long had they been there? Why only 200? It must have been some kind of repress, or else for such a top tune it would have been selling for much more than say £7 from Rudzi - it would surely have been one of the great finds of the era?! And if it was a repress why didn't the shop owner's mate press up another 200 when the first lot sold? Then again the plot thickens, as Gareth says it was played off an acetate then pressed. Is that correct, and if so who has the acetate?

Great thread - liked the guy playing 'The Night' - wondered what he'd do when he got to the bridge between verse and chorus where it really kicks off, but he absolutely nailed it - quite a hard part to work out too, I reckon A few nice basslines that do it for me - not particularly fancy playing (apart from Brainstorm) but right on the money:- Bobbi Humphrey - Harlem River Drive Bobby Reed - The time is right for love King Tutt - You got me hung up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGc4asrJnB4 Brainstorm - We're on our way home Couple of others that really come to life bass-wise on big sound systems are Cissy Houston 'I just don't know what to do with myself' and Joe Hicks 'Funky', which for me kicks some serious arse in the final furlong Cheers, Chris.

What is a compression hat? I want one I quite like this cover - wouldn't necessarily buy it but nice to hear a proper, old fashioned, understated soulful voice in the pop arena, and while the arrangement doesn't exactly rock it has real quality And anyone who doesn't like '1960 What' must have their compression hat on too tight - one of the best tunes of the last few years - fond memories of Soul Sam ripping up the Cleethorpes modern room with it as a new release

Hadn't come across 'Philly Regrooved' until a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for something to download for the hols, and got to say they are absolutely outstanding, particularly '3' which has some amazing stuff (18 tracks in all). Eight quite glorious minutes of Bettye Swann 'Kiss my love goodbye', six of Spinners 'Could it be I'm falling in love'; ten of Blue Magic 'Look me up'. Jaw-droppingly brilliant re-working of The Trammps 'Hold back the night' (I defy anyone not to air guitar through the extended instrumental section) plus many more treats, all very skilfully done and with pristine sound quality. Would have loved to have been in the studio when the masters of these were dusted off. Not got Vol 2 yet but Vol 1 (despite less tracks) is worth the price alone for the 5.16 version of Finishing Touch 'Second Best (is never enough) - the aural equivalent of full cream milk! Better late than never - if you haven't checked these out yet I can't recommend them highly enough

'Urgent Want' on here the other day from Chorley Bloke for this

Thanks Paul, already finished unfortunately

Anyone got a spare one of these in decent nick? (ideally VG+ or better) Please pm with details Cheers, Chris.

Has anyone else seen the email this morning from Ady about licencing problems for this weekend and having to run with reduced hours? Assume it isn't a wind up?! Came on here expecting it to have been big news but no mention. What a hassle for Ady.

Funny, always assumed Brooks Brothers ('Looking for a woman') were a white act - great record but very blue eyed sounding, though I guess along the lines of some of the Fame sides of the time with double tracked vocals (Slippin' Around', or Jimmy Hughes 'Lovely Ladies') which makes them less 'black' sounding

Thanks, but definitely not the Bay Brothers version - much more modern (comparatively) and punchy sounding

Brilliant, many thanks

Thanks Benji and Eddie Definitely not Kenny G - much more punchy than that Not Crack Steppin either - definitely a version of Jr Walker's 'What does it take to win your love' - Crack Steppin probably a red herring on my part Anyone able to ask Sam himself?

Have just had a flash that this may have been called something like 'Crackstep 12"', but can't find any reference to that on the web

Hi Ivor, thanks for the info - not this version though, the one Sam was playing was faster with more of a drum machine type backing, and sounded to me more modern than 82 - an early 90's indie at a guess

Can anyone help identify this for me - Sam was playing a 12" of 'What does it take to win your love' around 1992/3, no vocal, just a fully instrumental sax version which always sounded great played out. Definitely a 12" as I remember looking at the decks. Would guess a fairly modern release at that time. I have a feeling it got a mention in an old Manifesto or similar but can't find the article anywhere. Have been through all the versions on Youtube, etc, but can't find it. Cheers, Chris.

Agreed, I have heard loads of great tunes for the first time through this - absolutely brilliant, a proper piece of work
