Soul Shrews

A "flock" of Back Door Kennies, JT Trouble ? I would have thought a "pride" more appropriate surely Is it these sheep that trouble you. James ? Cheers Paul PS That last bit was from Mr Sid Bridge btw PPS Both of us "wooliebacks" love Disco

Used to have 'Funky Eight Corners" Lonnie Youngblood on either Turbo or All Platinum (Can't remember which) I used to think ''Ton Of Dynamite'' 'used' (sampled) the sax from this...............dunno if I was right and I don't own the record now to check, but I'm pretty sure the rhythm section was very similar too. Could it be Frankie Crockers record was one of the first hip hop sample thingamagigs ? Cheers Paul

Yes martyn was thinking this myself, thats the one with Pt 2 right ? Also want to know which stock copy came first Cheers Paul

Yes martyn could do with a lie down meself ! I think they're all legit too just would like to know which came first Cheers Paul

Well........................... I"m glad this threads cleared something up !!! Thanks Netspeaky Cheers Paul

Hi martyn Does the "triangle" mean delta ? Cheers Paul PS And what does provenance mean ? Er lol

Mike, I was very worried reading the forum page "Soul Source Competition Ken.." Trying to imagine our Ken as a game prize Cheers Paul

Thanks for that jinx74 So your stock copies are the same as TOAD's so different to mine..............so I still need to know which is the original ? Do you think that the RE-1 in the numbering suggests a re-issue ? Any ideas about the instrumental release ? And whats with the "Operator, Operator ! " promos ? Cheers Paul PS Sorry missed that "delta" bit

Hi fabsoul69 You might have more luck looking for "Seven The Loser " rather than "Looser" ?? Cheers Paul

Wasn't there .........don"t know the record ...........but seems to me if one DJ has the original acetate and another plays a carver then thats right out of order Cheers Paul

Hi Chris, The Elanore Mills is the most expensive I reckon The rest are not worth much I reckon But.................Wilson Pickett features "How Will I Ever Know" Jerry Butler & Brenda Lee Eager has a track thats been played Ditto The Moments All the rest are of course great soul LPs but monetary value is probably not that much (shame) Hope this helps Cheers Paul

How about 'Just Being Myself" ? Cheers Paul

Aahh that could well explain it Joe, I was getting carried away thinking ,sound engineers and all sorts of nonsense Cheers Paul

Hi martyn, so it looks like there are promo and stock copies of the instrumental JOE TORQUAY, theres no eddie foreshaw in my run out groove don"t recognise the name pehaps jinx74 will know who he is My 'Accept Me As I Am" side has cisco 01-01 (mr stamp) triangle 99029 in the dead wax, is yours the same ? Cheers Paul

Thanks for that Eddie I think he"s on here hopefully he'll see this thread and respond. So far then, there appears to be 2 stock copy issues (going by the dead wax numbering) Also a white promo copy of "Operator, Operator !" stereo/mono Stereo side dead wax is cisco 01-02 (mr stamp) triangle 99029-x (this is the same as my stock copy) Also a white promo of "Accept Me As I Am" stereo/mono Also an instrumental of "Operator, Operator !" with Pt 2 on the flip (stock copy, and different numbering) Phew and this threads not been up 24 hours yet ! Sean I"d like to know about the "Accept Me............" promo please jinx74 I'd be interested to know the numbering on your stock copy please TOAD many thanks for the sound clips I hadn"t heard either before, I was thinking maybe the RE-1 in the dead wax of your stock copy suggests its a re-issue ? Many thanks to everyone whos contributed so far and special thanks to Mrs Shrews (and her glasses) for helping me read the dead wax numbering Hopefully Mr Rushden will post something later Cheers Paul PS Just an idea but what do you think a Tom Moulton re-mix would sound like using the vocal/instr a la Fantastic Johnny C "Waiting For The Rain" ???

My "demo" has cisco 01-02 mr stamp "triangle shape" 99029-x My "issue" has cisco 01-02 mr stamp "triangle shape"99029-x The plot thickens................................where are you 'jinx74' ? Cheers Paul

Can't help with a sound file I'm afraid tho I'm sure some soul sourcerer will come to the rescue ? Cheers Paul PS I think it had some rare groove spins too

Yes 'martyn' LP of the same name....................Thom Bell produced loveliness Cheers Paul

Thanks TOAD I'll check it out Cheers Paul

Thanks TOAD my stock and promo copies have MR (Monarch ?) stamps too I'm beginning to think I've gotta couple o' duds here......................anyone know the real story ? Cheers Paul PS TOAD, I'd still like the PT 1/2 version if you know where I can find one ?

Trust you Sean wheres mine .......? Cheers Paul PS Is it vinyl ??

Yes I know you do TOAD and we love it But I want to know the details about the 45 please Cheers Paul

Hi jinx74 I've never seen a promo of "Accept Me As I am" stereo/mono (tho I'd like one ) The stock/red label I have is styrene, as is the white "Operator..........." promo wheras my "Shy Guy" stock is vinyl (Ok I know its another label but...) is your 'Accept Me As I Am" promo vinyl ? Does this make the white promo of "Operator. Operator ! " a re-press ???!!!

Lets hear them then TOAD We know you can do it Cheers Paul

Hi martyn My promo is stereo/mono same vocal same time. Dunno about this instrumental thing ? But I'd like to Thanks for your interest Cheers Paul
