A friend of mine is considering 'outing' his copy of 'Where there's a will there's a way' It's in fabulous shape (although i believe there's a teeny weeny tear on the label but the vinyl is excellent) He's looking at cash only unfortunately and he ain't giving it away either! (well, you wouldn't would you?) If someone's willing to pay the 'normal' price on this 45, it could be yours for xmas! He is open to 'sensible' offers but nowt daft please! Please PM me if you're interested? Cheers Steve

Agree, it's a belter

Hi John In your opinion, is the 1971 2nd 'monarch #85897 ' press a legal ABC repress? (presumably for the UK market cos of it's popularity at the time?) It'd be a bugger if it turned out to be a boot after all this time! Cheers Steve

I have a photo at home of when i was lucky enough to find 4 copies in the early 90's. All laid out nicely in me study Got them after hearing it first played by Rod Dearlove at an early Yarmouth..............in fact one of them went to Mr Cosby if memory serves? Never had any more since though! Yep, roll on Yarmouth - cannae wait! Cheers Steve

I like the other side better! 'Don't throw it away' - wonderfully off key vocals and a funky/crossovery type dancer Cheers Steve

I sold a copy off me web site (www.soulmusic.co.uk) about a year or so ago - i could dig out the soundfile and post it up if that will help? PLMK Steve

Don & Debbie - I Can Be Happy - Amos promo £249 Channel 3 - The Sweetest Thing c/w Someone Else's Arms - Dakar £261 In favour of Mr M...............aren't these two 45's above a good deal? I've seen D & D go for £500+ and just how many copies of Channel 3 black issues (with the brill B side) have you ever seen? imho bargains are still around (even at a JM auction!!!) Cheers Steve

Nice one mate someone got two bargains

The other one by them on SBI is pretty good (Love sweet love) Cheers Steve

I've got those 10 plus yours Mike Working my way thru them but the quality of the ones i've played so far (including yours) is such that i'm giving them 2 or 3 plays thru, so it's taking some time BUT it ain't a chore, believe me! Got mine ready for burning so they should be landing early next week Cheers Steve

Very fairly priced if you don't mind me saying young Garbutt Should make a loverly christmas pressie for someone that's for sure! Good luck with 'em Cheers Steve

That's correct John imho GC Cameron's version is great BUT MG's is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Steve

Hiya Gasher Someone pm'd you so i guess you're sorted?.............in case you're not i have a spare NOT mint, more like VG++ but plays really well Please PM me if you still need it? Cheers Steve

I've never seen it before either Dave? Cracking little promo/compilation it is too Cheers Steve

The Renfro's a boot mate - It came out on Amy only! Hope this helps Steve

Hiya mate Don't get me started on Ovide fingersnappers? Masters Of Soul - Do you really love me TSU Toronados - I still love you BoBo Mr Soul - Hitchhike to heartbreak road etc etc etc and what about a hat-trick of mid 70's '20th Century' fingersnappers? Imaginations - Love diet Michelle Wiley - Feels good (possibly the ultimate cool fingersnapper!!!!???) Younghearts - All the love in the world The list goes on................................. Cheers Steve

Me and Flanny have both played this occasionally at The Orwell One for the future methinks as it's never had a great deal of exposure? Old last hour mecca 'one time' spin I believe? Always had me eyes open for spares of this for years and never came across any at reasonable prices, so it must be pretty tough! Think i last saw it at £150 a couple of years ago and that may have been Flanny in one of his 'hot box' moments Hope this helps? Cheers Steve

Same here (well not SA, Lanzarote actually at Soul in the Sun!) - as i already posted on here earlier this month, mine will go out in a couple of weeks time. btw Got 3 before i went to SITS (all brill) got approx 7 more unopened which i will get into this week now things are getting straight! Cheers steve

Just realised I only have the two separate LP versions of SAT (original & remix) so I'll get in the queue behind Ivor for a 45 if that's OK? Cheers Steve

Just caught this one - good call Seany baby Love the fingersnapper to bits, whether at home or at a venue Some brill songs have been posted so far Another fave 'cool' fingersnapper is The Volumes - Ain't gonna give you up (there's loads and loads still not mentioned yet tho!) Incidentally, this type of sound, whether it be mid 60's to late 70's seems to have the ability to be played at many different types of venue too!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Steve

Yeah, i was only joking, the ICA is the general release and the Chi-Heat is the local release...............both should be viewed as originals imho! I prefer to get the local release where possible BUT the general release is always welcome, especially when some local releases are virtually impossible to find (e.g. Ann Sexton on Impel) Cheers Steve

Hee Hee nice try Shep I don't play it often enough actually, it's just that Blake has a photographic memory Try Ockers above, looks like there's a few around on the ICA reissue Cheers Steve

Hiya Blake Quite true mate and if I catch that Mark Shepherd speeding it up, he'll have me to answer too I feel a new thread coming on.......................................'records you want buried with' (guess it must have been done before though? Cheers Steve

Hi Pat As we discussed on Saturday, this is a tough LP but hopefully someone on SS will come up with the goods for you! I had a quick peak on popsike and it shows that 4 have sold over the last two and a half years on ebay so the odds say that one's due up within the next 7-8 months!!!! Good luck with your search, I'll keep me eyes open for ya! btw Great to meet you in Lanzy Cheers Steve

Just a little note to say that I'll have a Record Stall in the Hornpipe Lounge (The Modern Room!!!) at The Blackpool Tower Soul Weekender BUT I'll only have it out on FRIDAY! If you're going to the Tower please remember to come and have a look - got plenty of US Northern, Crossover & Modern 45's (loads and loads that aren't on me web site either!). The £1 box won't be out this year and I don't think i'll have that many 12"/LP's as it's a long way up to The Hornpipe Lounge. Will bring a few choice items though! Hope to see some of you on Friday Cheers Steve Plumb www.soulmusic.co.uk
