I knew the "sound" of the record but never the title. Just knew when i played it that it was a record I'd heard out & about, and that I liked it. I wasn't going to that many do's in the early 90's, and didn't really buy records much other than numerous trips to the states. It was only later when I started going again regularly and DJ'ing at the odd soul night that I found that it was very sought after, hence later selling it to Carl Willingham. But even then I didn't realise just how obscure it really was.

I never had a clue how rare this was when I got it. And didn't really have when I sold it some 8/9 years later either, or i would never have got rid of it for what i did. The irony of it is that I sold it to fund another trip to the US, then got locked up for 3 months 2 days before I was due to go. So I lost the ticket money etc etc and gained nothing Such is life.

I also found a copy of this in Detroit. I got mine in 1991 at Street Corner Music in Ferndale, MI. Later sold it to Carl Willingham. I had always thought that these Moments (on Hog) were the same Moments that recorded on the Detroit label "Hit Productionsl" amongst others" But I bow to your awesome knowledge Rob, as the name Mizell does appear on the label.

Has to be Little Milton for me. Wonderful, emotional delivery. Those Chess brothers knew a good thing wehn they heard it. I could listen to Little Milton "more and more all the time". Phil

No. The production may not be to everyone's taste. But to dismiss this as "cash in rubbish", no matter what your opinion of Levine - the man or his music, is just plain wrong. IF he ever ends up making anything like "real money" out of this then I would be very surprised. Like it or not it was a genuine (albeit at times one-sided) attempt to give some of the best loved songs and artistes that make up this genre that we call Northern Soul a one and only (and for some it was because they're now dead) chance to get their stuff out on video to their fans. Levine has done some great stuff, some good stuff, some mediocre stuff and some right old cack, but at least he's done stuff. This video or DVD is, to my mind, verging on great in places (irrespective of whatever you may think of the video production techniques). I know that Levine can be his own worst enemy, but to dismiss this video as rubbish is way off the mark. Phil

Well you can't have one of mine. My less than perfect copy will be going to E0999 for the princely sum of £0 Sorry! Phil

I think that's more than a bit overpriced. Would have thought £8-£10 tops. Since when has quality ever had any bearing on price? In fact. I have a VG- yellow issue. It can go for free, just cost of postage. Phil

How much does this go for? I have issues on both red and yellow labels Phil

I'll try and dig them all out and mp3 'em and post 'em up. There's also 2 versions of a little leon (or summat like that) too. i got multiple copies of them all years ago from Bob Lee in Detroit. Somebody had just brought them in as a job lot all mint / unplayed so he charged me $2 each Happy days. Same trip is where I got all the Invictus / Hot waX / Music merchant stuff. Also $2 each. Phil

I'll do an mp3 of it tomorrow or Wednesday. Just need to rig up the laptop to the stereo again. I just sold one of these on ebay last week. They have a different number in the run-out groove. The strings version has an X suffix or maybe it's the other way round, can't remember. There are 2 different versions of Milton Harris - She's Hurting Me as well as The Majestees too. Phil

I have a couple of these. Mint / Unplayed condition. Phil

I'm in the middle of putting together a soul band (just as a hobby / laugh). Still need drummer, keyboards & bass guitar. The rest of us are in Bradford/ Leeds so anybody intersted must be within easy travelling distance. If anybody interested please PM. phil

I've got this. Dark Turquoise label. i seem to remember it was not very good. i'll dig it out

I never checked before, but will definitely do so from now on. An unconfirmed address means NO seller protection. I'll just put this down to experience.

In that case I will gracefully bow out and withdraw my offer in the face of a superior offer. Phil

Then £20 inc P&P sounds good to me? Phil

I haven't got a scooby what it goes for. I'll try find out. Cheers

Yep. Got one. How much you want to pay? Phil

Just need these two now. Can anyone help? 11163 - Smokey & Miracles - What Love Has Joined Together 11177 - Marvelettes - Return Of The Marvelettes Cheers Phil

Bump

Can anyone help with good condition copies (particularly the sleeves) of the following UK Tamla Motown LP's: 11163 - Smokey & Miracles - What Love Has Joined Together 11177 - Marvelettes - Return Of The Marvelettes Cheers Phil

I've done that and I don't think it's going to do me much good. Apparently the buyer had an unconfirmed address so i have no protection. Guess that's life Phil

Cheers Steve. I don't think I'm back full-time. I enjoyed the break to be honest. But from a purely mercenary perspective it's a good place to find sounds I'm gonna put up a want list for the last few UK Motown albums I still need. Not necessarily rare ones but just need better copies of some numbers. Phil

I made a sale on Ebay last week - £295.00 Got paid by Paypal, so sent the item in good faith (to Holland). 2 days later Paypal put the payment on hold and today it's been reverswed. Paypal can't tell me why other than "It's a fraudulent transaction" - ie the buyer used a nicked credit card or summat. So now I'm out of pocket both for the item and the insured postage. Any advice anyone? Cheers Phil BTW - I forgive whoever did it
