Just wait til Pete Shirley posts his list from that day, just superb. Overall it's nice to see the slower side of things making waves here and there, not only for home listening.

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Kev: of course I played the full track, the only way to do it!

There are at least two pressings from the late 90s/early 00s, both easily distinguishable from the real deal.

Next deep session @ Judit & Bertil will be in November (date TBA)

Exactly. When JM or Tim Brown give a description along the lines of "EX but plays ok", I'm always amused by the difference in grading standards/practice among some of the established dealers.

The version in the YT clip above - King 6202 - is totally different to the Federal one, which was re-released as King 6124.

Overpriced? Hard to blame the seller for auction prices achieved. Funkyou/Funkyousounds has done a good job building up a reputation as a reliable seller, with strict grading (a Funkyou VG is comparable to many UK sellers' VG++ or EX in my experience).

Charles Spurling - She cried just a minute/Don't let him hurt you baby - King issue (Killer northern dancer b/w Steve Edgar-favoured deep soul, i.e. very good). Nice clean copy, VG++ per Soul Source grading. Looking for £100 OVNO. Thanks for looking, Carl

Selling a few nice 45s here, all strictly graded per SS guidelines. Shipping from Sweden. PM if interested! Charles Spurling - She cried just a minute/Don't let him hurt you baby - King (Killer northern dancer b/w Steve Edgar-favoured deep soul, i.e. very good). Great VG++ copy. £100 Bonnevilles - Play it cool/I'll be right there - Now (Two top sweet/crossover sides, real value for money). VG++ to M-, beautiful condition. £150 SOLD Future Flight - Hip-notic lady - Capitol white demo (All-time favorite two step, Lamont Dozier gold). VG++. £35

As said, originally LP only, but Go Ahead released UK a 45 a couple of years ago b/w Anyone can tell.

Hi Alan, Please check your PMs. /Carl

Pm'd you

Looking for a nice clean copy. Thanks, Carl

Yeah, £500+ for Willie Kendrick demo on JM auction, what's that about (even for JM standards)??

I see your point, of course those previously mentioned are not records you will find in a regular shop or thrift store. However, many of them do come up for sale all the time, and in good condition, maybe suggesting that those are the first records people sell when they need cash for something else, cos they will be easy to replace if needed?

Bobby Reed - The time is right + Charles Johnson - Never had a love are two that spring to mind.
