Hi Steve Thanks for that. I'm sure me mate would be over the moon having sourced a copy from the man himself I think he needs it soon for a pressie, so I'll put him in touch with Benny himself and they can sort it between them? Have you got his email addy (or is he on SS?) and i'll pass it on. If you have, please let me know by PM please? I know Benny won't have a problem selling it when he gets here in March, so anyone with a lesser condition copy can still get in touch? Cheers Steve

This is so true They'll soon jump on you for selling things they perceive as not being kosher when it comes to Beatles, Elvis etc BUT they let guzzillions of the soul bootlegs through without a problem. I wish someone could put an end to all those fucking bootlegs that are on ebay. If ebay sorted it out they'd be fucked overnight! Apart from the obvious serious problem of ripping off artists, legal owners etc it drives you fucking mad having to wade through the fucking things every fucking day, wasting your fucking time skipping over the fucking things!!!! I know it's been said before on here BUT we all need to press the 'report this item to ebay' (or whatever the link is called?) and report it each time we see it! Cheers Steve

Benny Troy 'I wanna give you tomorrow' original 45 on Delite please Still looking for a copy for a mate to frame Vinyl doesn't need to be in that good a shape but label would be nice without tears or writing or wear (within reason) Can't believe i sold one a couple of months ago for next to nowt and now I can't get one! Will pay up to £50, depending on condition Cheers Steve

The sound quality of the 1971 reissue 45 is stunning! Both sides are in stereo It fair leaps out the speakers that's for sure! Cheers Steve

There are G2K issues of it if that's what you mean but it was previously unreleased? Steve

I love me albums, always have I've a bunch of spares for sale HERE and HERE but you'll have to wade through plenty of quality 70's Soul albums too Cheers Steve

Many thanks Chalky I'll look into it I must admit, i tend to listen more to Solar simply cos it's on Sky However, I do think that being able to download or listen to any radio show you fancy 'after the event' is very attractive, so extra options like iTunes and podcasts are a welcome addition to the hosting options I currently use. Thanks again Steve

If you can point me to somewhere where I can see how to do it Chalky, I'll certainly look into it

I'll be tuned in tomorrow Dave & Malaika Great to see you back on 'Soul People' The telly in the bedroom goes on every Sunday morning at 10am without fail and tomorrow will be no exception! No 'faux pas' this time eh Dave Cheers Steve

I put weekly links to the Solar Radio 'Soul People' show (Sundays 10am-Midday) (uploaded by Zane Hunter from that other forum with 'Modern' in the title ) on my radio page on me web site www.soulmusic.co.uk/radio.htm On the same page, I also put a weekly link to my other fave Solar Radio show 'A Taste of Soul' by Eddy Edmondson (Sundays 8pm-10pm) (uploaded by Eddy from his own web site) Both shows can be downloaded at will whenever you want! Both shows recommended if you like 60's, 70's Soul Music! Here's a bit more blurb from me newsletter page Soul People EVERY Sunday 10am to 12 Midday (GMT) Quality Soul from across the decades is the order of the day although majoring in 70's Soul with many of the UK's top DJ's playing each week. 2011 sees the following guest DJ's rotating throughout the year Kenny Mac, Gary Dennis, Steve Plumb & Barry Maleady, Terry Jones, Steve & Lee Jeffries, Shaun Robbins plus other great guests like Brian Goucher, John Manship etc etc Note - The next Barry Maleady/Steve Plumb show is TBE A Taste of Soul EVERY Sunday 8pm to 10pm (GMT) Quality Northern & Modern Soul. Hosted by Eddy Edmondson (Soul in the Sun) Eddy also has a regular feature on the show where he showcases a selection of the quality tunes to be found on www.soulmusic.co.uk I'll be standing in again for Eddy on Sunday 30th January 2011 Solar Radio can be found on www.solarradio.com OR on the Sky Channel 0129 If you are out on Sunday's, why not Sky+ it and listen to it later! Cheers Steve

Oops forgot about the second Jimmy Ruffin meself! Yes, there are five aren't there!

Hi Pete The whole article goes right down to the last release! It's a full review of the previously unissued 45's on the Grapevine 2000 label with label scans and MP3's of EVERY track. There's about 40 tracks out of the 63 singles that the company issued that were either previously unreleased or released anywhere in the world for the first time on 45! The article ends with a full label listing of all 63 singles with reference to original label, #'s etc. There's also info on the various designs of Test Pressings, Demos & Issues, including the Demo copies that never made it to Issue etc It's about 20 pages long, so Josep has broken it up and Part 1 and 2 have been uploaded. I hope the guys put all the parts together on their site so it can be read in one go? Once all the various parts have been published, I'll publish the whole thing on my own web site! Cheers Steve

I've a spare Daz Just going out so will PM you in the morning Cheers Steve

Unfortunately my secret's now out Ady I bet it's like most of us on here, I'm interested in stuff on artists, labels, song titles, years, producers, B sides, other versions, album it's on etc etc etc BUT i always forget to 'get milk on my way home' :D must be a different bit of the brain eh? Cheers Steve

Hi Garry I agree, I was definitely in the 'release 'em on 45 and not 12' camp at the time! In time I think i'll add the 12" releases to the article too, as they were all 'first time on vinyl' and all damn good too I think the four 'original' US style Soul Junction's should also be added to the article too, as again I think at least 6 or 7 of the sides were unreleased and first time on 45? Interesting to read that it was done purposely and in conjunction to G2K releases! Funny but I didn't make that connection at the time (doh!) although it does make perfect sense when it's said out loud Finally, thanks to everyone who has made positive comments about the article, it's much appreciated! Cheers Steve

Hi Paul Thanks for the explantion I'll add the amended TP and DJ copy printing error info to my article soon, as I've a small number of other changes to make too Many thanks Steve

Thanks for the offer but my mate wants an original copy to frame Anyone? Cheers Steve

***Anorak alert everybody - Please avert your eyes now if of a squeamish nature Hi Paul I saw your scan of Dottie Pearson DJ copy and realised I had never seen it with a Red A before? From my article above, I had the Red/White DJ designs down as the following- There are three design variations of the Red & White DJ Copies Red 'A' on both sides (#105 to #148 & #155 to #157) NO Red 'A' on either side (#149 to #154) Red 'A' on one side only (#158 to #162) With Dottie being #152 all copies i've seen have no Red A on either side? I suspect that the releases that didn't have Red A's (#149-#154) was down to printer error, having all been done in the same batch and that the scan you posted up was your original file that ended up being made with the layer containing the Red A being missed off the print run? Please tell me this is correct then i can sleep at night? Cheers Steve

No thanks Moldie I want the 45 as described ideally It's for a presentation frame! I'd take it in better nick if it was a reasonable price though Cheers Steve

For a mate- Benny Troy - I wanna give you tomorrow - Delite - Original 45 Knackered copy will do, doesn't even need to play! Label needs to be clean on one side with no writing or tears if possible? Please let me know Cheers Steve

Hi mark I've loads of unplayed copies stuck in a box in me garage £2 each just give me the numbers you want and i'll get back to you Cheers Steve

I found a copy of this LP in the garage recently. it's for for sale HERE at £12 Cheers Steve

Hi Brian I remember it well mate At least the list of previously unreleased G2K 45's in the article can now be used as the bible for tracks that can be played at OVO venues then Cheers Steve

Just for the record it's a full review of the previously unissued 45's on the Grapevine 2000 label with label scans and MP3's of EVERY track. There's about 40 tracks out of the 63 singles that the company issued that were either previously unreleased or released anywhere in the world for the first time on 45! The article ends with a full label listing of all 63 singles with reference to original label, #'s etc. There's also info on the various designs of Test Pressings, Demos & Issues, including the Demo copies that never made it to Issue etc A real anorak jobbie if I say so meself It's about 20 pages long, so Josep has broken it up and Part 1 goes up to #117 Once all the various parts have been published by Josep, I'll publish the whole thing on my web site but that won't be for a while yet? Hope someone finds it of interest? Anyone who wants to send any corrections or additional information in, please do and i'll add it to the final article. Cheers Steve
