The Gems 40 quid mint Cheers Paul

Indeed it does Peter, sold mine when I got the LP mid 80s Cheers Paul

Yep Soul Bowl had em for a couple of quid Cheers Paul

Thanks Eddie. Richard Searling I guess ? Sometimes had clues in his cover-ups like Lee Valentine producer of The Friendly People for instance. Cheers Paul

Have to agree regards ahem "re-issues" that is bonkers to me. I would rather have it on CD if I can"t find/afford an original. As for high prices for more common records well that has always been the case if there is deamand. Also some of the previously common records are maybe not so common anymore ? Especially in good nick. Could be a good thread malC Cheers Paul

There must be some Motown ones I would think ? Nice thread Mal C Cheers Paul

Same but not as clear mix I believe as was informed on here a while ago. Have a listen to the LP again soon Chris its a great way to spend an hour or so ! Cheers Paul

Indeed chalky it is. But not only that it is the same recording which doesn"t qualify for this thread either, like a lot of previous posts as you have also pointed out. Cheers Paul

Anyone mentioned Don Thomas "Come On Train" yet ? Oh and Mistura "The Flasher " Cheeze Paul

Of course there is also Dee Dee Sharp "What Kind Of Lady" wonder if its Leon Huff or Thom Bell on the keys ? Cheers Paul

Gene Chandler "I Can Take Care Of Myself" and Sandra Phillips "World Without Sunshine" Cheers Paul

My 1st Tommy Tate 45 bought from Soul Bowl as new release. After hearing it checked out absolutely anything by this great artist. Thanks for the music Mr Tate Cheers Paul

Yep I think you"re right about the Voices and book. I don"t remember a ITB list. Think I have the Voices mags somewhere will try and find them Sunday if you don"t get sorted before. Cheers Paul

Was it John Lias who did the "Voices....." one ? Thought he brought it out (or the 1st 50 ) in a book last year. There was a thread on here I seem to remember. Cheers Paul

Also got a release here in Holland Cheers Paul

Well thought of for many a year round our way too Cheers Paul

Oh and good call on "Save Your Love" Derek Cheers Paul

Nice one John any chance of a look ? Cheers Paul

Oooh Baby Baby. Smokey and others. Cheers Paul

Maybe not so surprising as stock copies on major labels can often fetch much more than the promo counterpart if they didn"t sell much on release. As more promo copies survived at radio stations and were sent out to DJs and reviewers. The stock copies that didh"t sell would have probably been trashed or in the later 70s maybe recycled. The flipside of Beloyd is also rated by some I believe so could also have something to do with it Cheers Paul

When I bought this 45 (UK London) I was so knocked out with "How Could You Run Away" that I don"t think I ever flipped it over. So many thanks for the heads up ! Cheers Paul
