Soul Shrews

Dave Warr had mine off me mid 80s Mr G. Dont think hes on here anymore to cofirm/scan .......if hes still got it Make do with my Dutch 45 these days Cheers Paul PS Just noticed "colouredman" has a demo in sales right now

Does the 2nd B Acklin come with a pic sleeve ? Cheers Paul

Had a black/white promo copy years ago Cheers Paul

Not quite your backyard I know jinx74 but I bought my (scripted) copy from someone in Bakersfield Cheers Paul

Yep Cheers Paul

Think it was one of those 70s big sounds that was re-issued due to UK demand pretty soon after going big Paid about 20 quid for an original "Shy Guy' about 3 years ago .....is that better soulghost ? Cheers Paul

As is the flipside "Accept Me As I Am" Also his "Fog City And You" 45 Cheers Paul

Great read and a great talent. Seeing Mr Risers name on a 45/LP means I need to hear it ! Thanks Mike/Rob Cheers Paul

Hi Sourcerers I'm looking for Billy Butler & The Enchanters "I Cant Work Any Longer" and Billy Butler & The Enchanters "I Gotta Get Away" Dutch picture sleeve 45s Sleeves need to be minty but vinyl can be vg- if thats all you got Cheers Paul

Was this booted ? Mine is "Herald Records" yellow label vinyl. Original as far as I know. Cheers Paul

Thanks for that maslar. Apologies to you, Pete S and martyn.....I got this very wrong Nick i had no idea Richard Searling played it. As I said I "remember" Sam playing it @ Wigan was the 1st time I heard it Cheers Paul

Was a Soul Sam play @ the time ? First time I heard it was via Sam @ Wigan anyway Cheers Paul

I also remember all Wigan DJs starting their spot with it the week before its release. Same thing happened with The Del Capris (Construction) Cheers Paul

Past its peak ? Back then.6 weeks it was an oldie ! All newies back then Nick, well not sure of Stemmons Express ....but did he play it Sat all nights ??? CheersPaul

Yes but what I don't get is why would Richard Searling be playing it at Wigan in 79 ? There were more "oldies'(if thats what Betty Boo was) released on Grapevine that year and he certainly didn't play them in his newies spots Sat night Cheers Paul

My Grapevine 45 has 1979 release date Cheers Paul

Don't wish to upset anyone here but I was amazed to read it had been played before '79 I didn't got to Wigan untill the Sat after the 5th anniversary and then went pretty much weekly. For a few weeks in "79 it seemed Richard Searling always started his spot with Betty Boo, Cecil Washington and Vickie Baines. As he was playing mostly newies on Sat nights I presumed Betty was getting her first plays. Think the price for the acetate was way over the top but if someone wants it bad enough and can afford it then good luck to 'em Cheers Paul

Flipside "Without You" a fabulous harmony ballad so double bubble Cheers Paul

Is the AVI 7 inch a different mix to the orig 45 ? I have a French one and it says "Disco Remix' (or something ) on the sleeve but sounds the same as the 60s 45 to me ? Cheers Paul

Aid I feel exactly the same about this record.....also Lester Tipton....years ago at a "nighter" brilliant...nowadays in the cold light of day a horrible noise IMO Cheers Paul

Happened accross these photos and thought they were something special ......well worth highlighting Mike Great photos.................Paul Riser !!!! Nice one Eddie Cheers Paul

waxwell is the best but for a run down on record shops in A:dam check out www.fingerpoppinsoul.nl Cheers Paul

This got a Dutch release too Chris. Made me look twice 1st time I saw it ! Have heard Mr Checker was resident in Holland (Haarlem) at some point Cheers Paul

Good old Keb......I remember bumping into him @ "Time Is Right" record shop in Islington in 1990. He (as I was) was checking out the latest "soulful house" 12s. Chalky, maybe Tony Smith could help "uncover" some of those Keb cover ups ? Cheers Paul
