Steve Plumb

Hi All It looks like I may have recently lost a record from the US for the first time in a very long time! Sod's Law says that it's happened with a rare one as it's the LP by Richard Paradise (featuring 'Let me stay') I bought it from a reputable dealer and it's now 6 weeks since he sent it. I know there was the postal strike at the time so it is possible it may still turn up? (fingers crossed) I know it's a long shot but I would ask folks to keep their eyes open for me? If you see one for sale or if anyone gets offered one in the near future (or in the last few weeks even!) please contact me by PM? I'm NOT saying that if you see one or you get offered one it will be my copy but like I said it's a long shot and worth mentioning on here methinks? For the record the one that went on eBay in October went to a collector in Georgia, USA! Cheers Steve ps No smart arse 'Paradise Lost' quips either

Peeps A friend of mine (honest I do have one!) is desperate for a 12" vinyl copy of Gabin feat Dee Dee Bridgewater - Into my soul (from 2005) He has deepish pockets so please feel free to nail his hat on and make yourself a few bob in the process (hee hee) Anyone who has a copy for sale please let me know so my mate will stop pestering me? Cheers Steve

Hee Hee This has restored my faith in you Cliff (not that i'd ever lost it in you, it's just a figure of speech!) I knew when someone said the opposite of what you said re Quality of Red/White over Multi, I knew it'd be eating you up and you would JUST have to find the answer out for once and for all! Although I note you haven't gone into decimal places on the run out like Mr Manship does Top marks fella, you didn't let me down btw I have heard this played-out loads over the last few years BUT I think I could handle more multiple plays for a few more months yet despite what Chalky says Cheers Steve

He's conspicuous by his absence Super thread chaps, I know it's been done before BUT it's always a good 'un Cheers Steve

Are you always amazed at how cheap they are Lofty?

I think that's what made me part with me 85p

I am so so sad inside hearing this terrible news. Condolences to Alan's family. Alan was a lovely man with brilliant taste in music and he will be sorely missed. RIP big fella Steve

His 'Loving you comes easy' on Vibration is a fabulous early 70's crossover dancer - well recommended 'I agree 100% on 'Sleep won't come' Totally brilliant unreleased 70's dancer as good as 'nine times/i got the need/just having your love etc' a potentially monsterous record! Cheers Steve

Just a point of order Mike, it was 85p not a quid cos I bought it at the same time from Soul Bowl and I never forget how much I pay for a record Have replaced it since with a Red/White copy but I'm now having second thoughts, especially if the multi colored one has better fidelity Cheers Steve

Hi Jock The LP never came out unless there's test pressings of it (which would be nice!). Probably suffered the same as the Sandra Wright LP due to Stax' demise? From memory, that track was called summat like 'He moves me'? Brilliant midtempo, sort of Almeta Latimore ish BUT the quality of the recording weren't good and sounded muffled played out (from memory?) Cheers Steve

Loving that avatar John

Lead singer with the Moments.....................

Hi Barry If the deal with JulianB didn't go thru, I found an Ex copy in me boxes last night whilst looking for summat else! Cheers Steve

Well mine is still sat here at £25.....................maybe it's over-priced Dave Withers & Rod Shard must have had hundreds through their hands over the years I reckon!

I have one for sale HERE a tad cheaper Cheers Steve

If it's on the McKay playlist that gives it another seal of approval Should sound brill in the cellar Good luck tomorrow mate! Cheers Steve

That's a lovely thing to say Sir See you in April if not before Cheers Steve

It defo came out on Curtom though - mine's the normal 'yellow' label design

There's one or two in the usual places on the net for not much dosh

Hiya Binsy If Bob & Gav want me to do the 'LP only' set again at Yarmouth in April it will be the 4th year on the run! And as usual, I'll make sure that there will be no tracks played from previous years either! Pressure will be on again as at midnight folks have to dance to 'em too! Although I'll have to watch out for the Soul detective's as I got caught out last year with a couple tracks that got released on Outer Mongolian 45's that I wasn't aware of And to round it off, it will be me and you and Bully in the car park at 6.30 a.m. Cheers Steve

I'm spinning there meself BUT I'll leave the Dells to you (so I can then dance to it ) Cheers Steve

I have this on Curtom and they are two good versions but not as good as Dana Valery/June Conquest imho! Cheers Steve

......................and now of course the record from the 'wants' section 'The Dells - Whatever turns you on - 20th Century LP 1981 Cheers Steve

Benji's right, it's way too long for the 45 and it does affect the sound when played out! Best bet is the Beverley Glenn 12" same length but dem grooves are further apart and sounds damn fine when played out! Chers Steve

Oops! I really must pay more attention Mr Maleady So can we claim it as an Orwell spin Or is it a TJ spin Or is it a Biff SITS spin Who cares, it's a beast of a tune that should be massive! And what do you mean 'selling mode' you cheeky get btw Just listened to the original by Billy Ocean, as posted on SS by Roger Williams (nice one Rog!) Actually a very good track BUT the Dells is the one for me, the vocals are killer! Cheers Steve
