A guy who guest dj'd at an old Northern night we used to run here had a copy of some random 45 that had the Admirations pressed on the flip, he'd found it at a yard sale for $2 or so, can't for the life of me recall what 45 it was, sadly for him I played the Paree 45 in an early set not knowing he was itching to play his so kinda stole the moment

That's funny Ted, your playlists are the closest to mine have ever seen listed (hopefully thats a compliment!) but Brand New Faces is most always in my box, glad we're allowed to differ BobA you were at the Chicago night where Jimmy Burns sang right, do you remember what a bizarre version that was!?

Still remember the strange sight of seeing Jimmy Burns doing a version of this live in Chicago and practically turning it into a C&W crooner!

Gorgeous copy of this killer and rare 2-sider for sale, VG++, issue (so much nicer than the demo), glossy, perfect labels $400 You better believe me = full on Northern stormer Dew Drop In = gritty r'n'b Both sides should still be in Refosoul $6p&p from NYC to anywhere in Europe

Hi Hermann - finally found the copy knew I had of this (took me long enough huh, sorry!), actually wrote to you last week or so on yr reg email but got no reply, give me a shout if you want this one k! Best as ever, M.

Led Zep somtimes did a live version of Garnett Mimms - As long as I have you (not a patch on his tho')

Version as in cover versions by different artists (can't imagine Jimmy singing Spanish but you never know haha, it's by a Spanish 60's beat group)

Renaldo has done that live for us, great song!

Have a Texas version and a version in Catalan (bonkers that this exists ) , plus the Mica pressing of JR with the great Roy Wright flip

Think lp only....but what a great lp! I saw It coming & Hurt so bad, total winners too. Their Disatisfied Woman 45 is one to pick up too

Agree Mace my man, ended up selling the Garlon, but also been known do this with I'm gonna make you mine and your old goodie Shake me down, always a bit of a sucker for a version excursion, did you ever get the garage record that writer did, not expensive and not too shabby

"Garlon", there are recordings from Texas from the 50's of a Garland Davis but no idea if the same guy, only thing I've seen that varies is the shade of red on the label, sometimes more orangey The red vinyl 45 on the label is Zeke Strong w Patricia Brew - a diff version of his "I laugh and talk (but I don't play)" cut

Hey Denbo, you remember a year or 2 ago we both moaned about Billy Daniels - Woe, woe, woe being way way too short a recording, well same def goes with this one, for ages I "cheated" by playing the Garlon Davis version (1 minute 50 secs) back to back with Carl Underwood's (1.52) to stretch it out more but it's always a bit of a pain it ends so quickly Have a few oddball Zeke Strongs on the label too (a red vinyl one even) and another GD that's a bit ballady for me,

The red Royal Tone has "Whats wrong with you girl" as the flip which is a great leftfield almost funk # with a wigged-out organ, very different to the a-side!

There's a point a minute or so in on the Jades - "I know the feeling" that always sounds like the speed gets wonky for a sec (technical term, ahem)

while we are in florida can I add for discussion little beaver "i'm a man / don't let it end this way" cat I think this is realy rare so would be good to know if this was also around in the past or not ? took me ages to find. << >>> Seem to remember Finewine once laughing at me on seeing a Philips Bros on Now stored in my oven or someplace ridiculous but I've never resorted to keeping records in any pet's litter box (although I've heard a few that belong there)

Little Jewel - I want to / It doesn't matter - Tayster issue (so much nicer looking than the promo), solid glossy vg+ copy $125 Billy "The Kid" Emerson - I did the Funky Broadway Parts 1 & 2 - Tarpon really obscure one of his vg+ copy $60 Gerald Trotter - One more hurt (won't hurt much more) / The love in my heart - strong playing vg+, light labl wear, rare and these usually turn up completely beat, male version of Marjorie Black, great record $175 All paypal only please + $6 p&p from US

Given my user ID I'm def in no position to make fun of anyone else's Bob! Thought that was an amusing comment though Are you aiming to be here Feb 2 for the Impressions/Dap-kings show??

I bet he does, always impressed by his posts. In this case like said, that one is in old price guides as an issue so must have been around at some point, but then that's true of many these days that have all but disappeared. Oh, the 2 of this one I know of are both in Brooklyn, not uk, altho 1 lived in France for a while. Liked your idea of deliberately mid-spelling titles btw, that finally explains why you always spell "Bob" wrong huh!

<> I have the Sherlocks, it's a pretty relentless record, love it. Rarest soul on the label would assume is Chuck Collins, that one's really tough. How about Ronnie White on Brent - Out of breath, not a "known" 45 but screaming funky soul on a well-distributed label, lists low in any price guide I've seen it in but the promo with Beggin' you on both sides is the only one you see, that's ten a penny, have only ever seen 2 copies of the issue, have one and know where the other one is (and came from), none on popsike, it's been comped by Numero if you haven't heard it (artist listed as Ronnie Whitehead)

Thats just the Baby release Bob, sounds like a novelty record that's why can't stick it, their other 2 are nothing like that in the least

I was the winner of the Mojo 45 off ebay Brian, sound was just a year or 2 late for me though (although it is excellent, would kill a lot of people here) so it now has a new home, do still have them on Worldwide which is absolutely beyond stupendous (apart from yours and this one do you know of any other copies? what on earth were they doing on a country label!?), sadly think their Baby release is total pants, had the Leroy Redding on that label too but it's a bit run of the mill, but would love to read whatever you find out about the Shepperd Bros, however they spell it, for sure..

This is not directly record-related, but sooner or later suspect it's going to happen to one of us, a seller sold an antique violin, the buyer put in a dispute, and to resolve it Paypal demanded the violin be destroyed (!) and evidence of this sent to them so they could refund the buyer - ie the seller was out not just the money but their violin too - this is nuts, imagine sending a Gene Toones 45 off in good faith, buyer for any reason then makes a fuss (god knows it's happened to me) and the next thing you know the money is taken out your account by Paypal and your legit 45 is now in 17 pieces, not much chance of you re-selling it even if the bogus buyer kindly sends them back to you in a nice bag huh? Read and shudder: Yesterday on Regretsy, Erica, a fan of the site, emailed in her own personal problems with PayPal that echoes Winchell's "oh my god what are they thinking" experience with the financial giant. Erica was in the process of selling an antique violin that predated World War II, to a buyer in Canada for $2,500. But when the buyer received the violin, they disputed the label on the instrument. Erica asserts that this is a common thing in the world of antique instruments " and a quick Google search can verify that it is indeed commonplace. On top of that, she also confirmed that it was appraised and verified by a legitimate luthier. The buyer wanted a refund, which Erica was willing to provide, but then PayPal got involved. In order to issue a refund, PayPal demanded that the violin be destroyed, as the company had somehow decided that the instrument was counterfeit-despite any actual investigation into the piece itself. The buyer then sent Erica a picture (above) of the destroyed instrument. She contacted PayPal, who strongly defended its actions. In the Terms of Service for PayPal, there is a line that reads "PayPal may also require you to destroy the item and provide evidence of its destruction." In many ways, this may seem like a justifiable move on PayPal's part to protect its customers, at least until you start to think about it. First, PayPal is in no way a legitimate source for the authentication of antique violins, especially since the bulk of its interaction was handled by phone and email. Second, for some reason PayPal immediately seemed to side with the buyer. From an impartial point of view, there is no particular reason to assume the buyer is telling the truth while the seller is not. Perhaps the PayPal reps just trust Canadians. Third, even if this were a scam there were better ways to handle it, none of which include PayPal anointing itself as the arbiter of a product very few people in the world are experts on. Now, without actually having the shattered violin analyzed by an expert, there is no way to confirm that Erica is telling the truth. But even if she was trying to sell a counterfeit, it was not PayPal's place to decide that, especially without concrete evidence. If Erica is telling the truth, thanks to PayPal she is now out a $2,500 violin, and a rare antique has been destroyed. All because of a policy that had no business being cited in this situation. PayPal has said that it is investigating the matter. (This article was originally posted on Digital Trends)

Just FYI Lenis is still very active round here, he puts on a couple of 70's style musicals every year and has been on stage for us several times, we love Lenis! (and he's on Facebook so you can maybe ask him some of this directly)
