Soul Shrews

Thanks for the info Kev I didn"t know that ! Back on topic the Aquarian Dream UK "Disco Duplex" (2 X 12s) with the longer ("unreleased") version of "East 6th Street" Tricky to find ? Cheers Paul We need Mark Rez on this thread !

Oh and Miroslav Vitous "New York City" was a promo only US 12 right ? Would think thats quite rare Cheers Paul

Freddie Hughes on vocals fantastic track. Been ages since I played the LP must dig it out and try "Kiss Away" Thanks NCFC Cheers Paul

Its on an LP of theirs too so it would be even more cash down the drain Cheers Paul

A couple off the top of my head Blair "Night Life" has sold for 200 before now, and Hudson People ''Trip To Your Mind" 50 notes or so ? Plenty more. Happy hunting Cheers Paul

Thanks 123 just the LP sleeve then Cheers Paul

Should be worth much more than its US or UK equivalent in terms of rarity. But that doesn"t seem to count for much re northern collecters who value the US issue as more, in the main, and sometimes the UK issue but not the rarer Euro issues for some reason. Any chance of a look at the sleeve ? Cheers Paul

Hmm quite a lot to go at conchitta but how about the Temptations "Stay" for starters ? Cheers Paul

Eureka !!! Will PM you TSU Cheers Paul

Don"t think theres any real story Peter just Philly promotions being clever and inserting the different city names on the record to promote it in those places. Thirteen in all I believe. PhillyDaveG listed them all in his Philly discography on those comps that were out a while back Cheers Paul PS Sorry TSU gonna be at least next w/end untill I can check for you

I''ll have a look in the next few days see if I can sort it out for you. Not sure what spares I have left over. Cheers Paul

Thought you had "em all now ? Cheers Paul

Sounds like a Phlly classic !!! Cheers Paul

Yes from the LP "Heavy" 1974 Avco lead vocal by Herb Murrell. Am a big fan of The Stylistics don"t forget thier later Philly Int LPs either as NCFC has already mentioned with the nice dancer "We Should Be Lovers" also a version by Phyliss Hyman of this. Cheers Paul

Merci Pardon my typo mon ami Paul

Think the answear to your question stateside is yes er no er maybe. Depends what you are selling. As you say records in demand will fetch more than you think they are worth/paid for but this has no relevance on quality. Best to just buy records you like and enjoy them, rather than thinking about profit/investment I find Cheers Paul

I only buy from Belgium myself so don"t have these probs Cheeze/formage Paul

Bought a copy from Soul Bowl "79/"80? or so as a 2 quid special. Then flogged it for a tenner @ Wigan the next Sat thinking I was very clever Cheers Paul

Thank goodness ! And thanks for pointing that out DaveD Cheers Paul

Blimey no mention of Gwen McCrae or Candi Staton yet ? Cheers Paul

Ah Mr Rounce a well missed Soul Source contributor Cheers Paul

Benny Johnson "Visions Of Paradise " (Today) although it does have one of the worst covers/sleeves ever Cheers Paul

Thought so too 21 but is on a 45 with "Give Her Love" on the flipside.....whatever were they thinking of releasing those 2 gems on one 45 ?? Cheers Paul

As are "Low Rent Rendzvous" and "Just Like In The Movies" their other Atlantic LPs Cheers Paul

I met her niece some years ago In DC didn"t know she was her niece untill she asked me if I had heard of her. Confirming that I did and mentioning the Jetstream 45 next thing I know theres a phone pressed to my ear and I"m talking to Aunty Lorraine ! She told me she had spoken to w/ender promoters in the UK re a visit but was concerned as she didn"t know them. I told her not to worry and go for it ! Cheers Paul
