Soul Shrews

Aaah I didn't need to listen to the clip as I have the King version so assumed that was it. Thanks for the info Tim ! Not changing my vote, lovely voice punchy horns and now warm too ! Lovely

Vicki Anderson for me. Love her voice and those punchy horns !

Yes 1979. I was there and my 1st Wigan nighter was the week after the anniversary in "78. Never seen the Casino so packed it took ages to get in. I remember she did "One Way Out" accapella as the band didn"t know the song. Oh and the Vandellas were one girl & one guy ! Cheers Paul

Mr Pickett did not perform at the Casino However after reading Mr Pitts Afropean book (highly recommended ) I can forgive him this faux pas.

Written so many great songs. RIP Ray

A true Soul giant. Like Daved says so many great songs A personal favourite of mine Thanks for the mucic Mr Johnson Cheers Paul

Not forgetting his contribution with The Invitations fabulous records of which this one is my favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-wmQpj2SeQ RIP Lew & thank you for the music Cheers Paul

Ouch !!!

Little Anthony for me from this poll. If this version was there I may have had to think again. Cheers Paul

Went to a good home Mal 👍 Cheers Paul

Can't believe no mention of Loleatta Holloway side on the John Edwards 45 sales pitch !!! 😲 Cheers Paul

Yes Russ agree Mark was on form again ! Gino Washington is very good. Also enjoyed Ron Kieth & Sheri Gibbs amongst others Cheers Paul

Rex Gardin we're talking about here I still love the record and don't think I could ever sell mine. Part 2 on the flipside is fine too ! Cheers Paul

Seemed to go fairly cheap in these crazyprice days. Maybe a little too 'left field' for the Northern Classic collecter ?? Cheers Paul

WLP with 'Love (Your Pain Goes Deep)" does. Well my copy anyway Cheers Paul

Afraid not Tim. I was in DC to see the Jerry Butler show & was talking soul with a DC friend when she said "Have you ever heard of Lorraine Rudolph "? Couldn't believe that I had and called her immediately, so I was kinda put on the spot. But that was a very nice spot to be put on ! Cheers Paul

Sad to report that Lorraine Rudolph has died. Spoke with her on the phone some years ago & she told me she had been asked to perform in the UK but sadly that didn't happen. Thank you for the music Lorraine and RIP Paul

Richard preferred this side. I guess he didn"t get the chance to play it that often what with "She Said Goodbye" such a big sound. Plus all his other wonderful records at that time Cheers Paul

About 3 times the going rate (& I thought that was high !!! ) Whats on the flip of the earlier release ? Cheers Paul

Arrived here in Holland yesterday. Looks fantastic. Well done Gilly ! Cheers Paul

soulade on discogs is @Ady Pountain on here. Also has nice records in great condition Cheers Paul

https://www.soultrader45s.co.uk Kev always has some nice records in great condition. On here @Kjw Cheers Paul

My 1st 45 this year Closely followed by Michael J Kirklands 2 new(ish) 45s "Closer" & "Stay Don;t Go" Literally all 3 fell on the doormat today but I ordered Mike & Censations a few days earlier so theres the winner ! Also recieved a couple of LPs last Thursday but they were sent on 24th November 2020 so don;t count for this thread. A Michael J Kirkland hat-trick, not a bad way to start 2021 !!!

Hi John There was a thread on here some years ago re different city versions. I remember Dave Thorley mentioning a Detriot version. So I guess there is one. Cheers Paul
