Soul Shrews

LP is "There Is" Beeker73 Title track also an uptempo dancer and the album also features their northern classic "Wear It On Our Face" Rest of the LP is full of Dells harmony soul loveliness. Shouldn't break the bank either if you look around, think I paid about 7 bucks for mine 'bout 5 years ago Cheers Paul

Another great version by Billy Paul on his "Going East" LP Cheers Paul

Sure I've seen it offered for as high as 50 quid and as low as 20 in the last year or so. I guess somewhere between is right Got one for 19 bucks from "Dusty Groove" last year, mintier than a polo.... I was well chuffed Cheers Paul

A good friend of ours is on here (and Russian) as "silliewillie", well into her Northern and doesn:t mind a bit of modern too. She;s left Russia now 'tho and lives in San Francisco, the clever minski Cheers Paul

Should have a Frankford/Wayne stamp ? Cheers Paul

The size of the 45rpm on the left hand side of the label, large printed 45 are real and small printed are dodgy Cheers Paul PS Dunno if this applies to demos

Thanks Girf Cheers Paul

Which LP is "When You..........." on please Fantastic track Cheers Paul

Glad you like it Flynny, thats the French release sitting comfortably on our sofa Cheers Paul

They'll be on the auction next week Cheers Paul

Now theres a good idea Andy K Cheers Paul

Not such a great deal 5 for 25 as they're a fiver each Whereismyrecord !!! Some fantastic 12s on that list "tho and seeing the price of minty 12s these days a fiver each has gotta be a bargain Good luck with the sales Cheers Paul

Don't want to create an international incident here here but according to the "Soul Harmony Singles" book the Rouser release came out in 66 and the Fairmount one in 67 Cheers Paul

They're my favourites an' all kev A mate got me 200 or so at a record fair last year for a good price, I'd be interested in a few hundred more 'tho if they're not too dear Cheers Paul

Classic deep soul flipside "You Got Me" Neil Cheers Paul

Hi VillaBoy The Inspirations "Touch Me ............"/ "Funny Situation" was released on Black Pearl 100 in June 1967 The again on Black Pearl 711 with "What Am I Going To Do With You, Hey Baby" as the flipside Think it was also bootlegged back in the 70s due to northern demand for "Touch Me......" but I don't know the details of how to spot a wrong 'un, sorry Cheers Paul

Think Neil Rushden had something to do with the "Columbia Special Products" and these are 100% legit Love The Vibrations record, discovered by Soul Sourcer Tony Rounce I believe Cheers Paul

Well Mike you're right "Smokestream" was released twice in 1973 First as the "b" side to "Sinner (Have You Been There)" as Brothers, Sisters and Cousins on Nasco 029 Then as the "b" side to "Did I Scare You" as Bits & Pieces on Nasco 031 "Sinner (Have......)" is the "A" side to "Keep On Running Away" on Nasco 033 released in November 1975 With thanks to the "Soul Harmony Singles" book for the info Cheers Paul

Thanks Mike Rings a bell that Sisters and Brothers too 'tho I think that may be a different record ? Cheers Paul

Had another 45 by Cobblestone (also Mercury) it was awful...............think Ken had it off me Cheers Paul

Is "Did I Scare You" the flipside of "Smokestream" ? I only have the promo copy which is "Did I......" both sides Agree with you Val both good records Cheers Paul

If you mean "Sorry" by Grace Jones Ian then that ones older than 10 years Cheers Paul

Thanks for that Roger now know mines 100% real. Cheers Paul

Thank you Mr Dog Cheers Paul
