Is it the number above the F 12685 that gives it away? Bob

D'oh, should have realised that connection, remember listening Emperor Roscoe interviewing Neil Rushton (I think) around 76 time. They played and reviewed, amongst others, Tymes - Here She Comes, Jerry Jackson - Rough Out There and Orlons - Spinning Top, this being released on Calla, although it was reviewed on Planet Records (no pun intended). Was Planet records distributed by Pye as well? Seem to be making some connections.

Don't know if this as been discussed before, but I'm sure people will be up for discussion again. Looking through the UK Cameo Parkway listings, most, if not all of the soul releases came from either Cameo or Parkway as you would expect, however, Doris Troy was released on Calla. The first thing is, why was this selected as to be released on Cameo Parkway? Did Calla lease to any UK outlet as JJ Jackson (But Its Alright) was rleased on both Polydor (was this withdrawn) and Warner Bros. In addition the Doris Troy release does not share the same B side, "Heartaches" on Calla and "But I Love Him" on Cameo Parkway. The subsequent release in the UK on Toast has "Heartaches" on the B side and the Mojo release has "But I Love Him", not sure what the B side is on the Pye release. This all seems a little confusing to me and any info would bee appreciated. Regards Bob

Perhaps encountering a grey area quoting "probably worth £6 at most", how things stand with some of the prices being paid I would have said a little more (however, that's not to say it is worth a lot more). It has certainly stood the test of time if you think it was booted in 75 and is still gaining attention. Bob

It was done along with the Silhouettes (and probably the others mentioned). I think it also has the correct info in the run out groove as the original, and apart from the obvious (no label) is identical to the original also sharing the same "b" side, which as far as I recall is also quite good (for its genre). The original is the rarest release on the label and has been commanding about £600 recently.

Like all of the above, but the one that does it for me is "Jerry Jackson" - "Its Rough Out There", just love this record. Used to get played I believe at the end of the night for couples to smooch to (bit before Wigan methinks). Bob

It was, I bought it, but I certainly didn't pay that for it.

Got a copy of Joe Matthews, "Sorry Ain't Good Enough", licensed from Thelma, which I understand is quite rare, although not on demo (was this a later release after the American Sue runs?) but am yet to see a copy of Kelly Brothers, Crying Days. Does anybody have one (would like to purchase but no idea of rarity/price). How come James Brown, "Night Train", was released on Sue when it was previously released on Columbia, was it club demand, and why not re-released on Columbia? (think I'm right with Columbia) Regards Bob

Item 11 ain't bad either

Managed the link without realising.

Just noticed this on ebay, and going very well by the looks of bidding. Apologies, can't do the linking thing, however, if you highlight and right click you can get there. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LISTEN-NORTHERN-SOUL-POPCORN-GEORGE-LEMONS-BOBBY-KLINE-/330710618091?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item4cffe38feb

Not sure what to say, they both look something like an illusion to me. TOTP

Agree with you mate, we all counld'nt be present at the Inaugural play of all the records you played, and if we did we may well be tired of them, but what you played (looking at your list as I had to leave before you finished) the set was adventurous (slipping George Clinton in there - not heard that in years). Thoroughly enjoyed what I heard, well done mate. Regards

Either that or it gets put in a box laying dormant while you move on to your next one

!

For what its worth, I think the track sounds similar in a similar vein to Soulville All Stars - no one to blame but myself, but not as good. TOTP

Talkin to a bass player I know (rock band player) and he couldn't believe the base line of this and Donnie Elbert - Piece of Leather, totally blown away.

Just about the right amount of time, James Carr - That's what I want to know, that does it for me.

Is it the long or short intro, or do you just skip the intro?

What is the difference between the issues of the Tymes - Here She Comes on Parkway, #924 and 933, and which came out first (or were they simultaneous?). Also which one shares the same B side as the UK issue? Bob

Didn't Searling get his copy off Soul Sam along with Don Gardner and William Powell when Sam went all modern?

From the same seller you can also get Little Anthony - Its not the same (and it certainly isn't) on a white label, however, they do state its not an original. You can bid on it (which two people have) or buy it now for £29.99, be interesting to see what the bidding goes up to. Other rarities, oh and car stickers (an essential northern item, as belts, etc, were in the 70's) , are also available too.

From the site above- "any Q's please feel free to ask and i'll try my best to answer them" Perhaps ask "how about the starting price!!"
