still diggin

Great group, however it would seem their first 45 'I'm still your friend' has not been included, pitty as it was IMO one of their best, so not really the entire catalog. I do hope the copies of 'Mellow music' are not identical to the copy I have, as it's no different to being robbed.

If i got fifty quid for every person I know who back in the eightees used to call certain records disco but now have them in their play boxes because they have a recognised value of over a grand I would not have to work for several weeks. Piss poor appreciation of black music and no mind of their own. Just using soul music for braging rights.

I'm sure Rod Dealove used to play ' The harder you love', but do not recall what format it was on. Great track. Andy

Have you actually listened to all the LP? Only one track has heavy breathing and muttering, it's the first track on side one, which in my opinion is not very good and I have never had by the Moments. Not all the Moments original versions do I prefere either. all though in general most would accept the productions are much better, the version of 'This old house' is in my opinion is far to over the top by the Moments for the sad subject matter on offer. Much of this material was recorded by other All platinum outfits anyway, of which I am sure many on here prefere different takes. Categorically saying something is better like some leading authority is not helpfull, let them choose.Vanity projects on others material is not very odd, it's relatively common. The original poster of the thread was discussing the authenticity or the origin of the press not the music held within.

I have managed to find the LP, however it looks the same as all the ones on popsike. Discogs usually identifies differences between originals and re-issues, but nothing. If your friend on facebook knows the difference (assuming there is one) please let me know. Thickness of the jacket is sometimes a clue, but i'm in the dark as much as you. Andy

Had a brief look this morning, but unable to find it. Sorry I am not able to be of more help. If that inner sleeve is not the correct one anyway then maybe it was not re- issued after all. I'm a little pissed off I cant find it as there were a couple of tracks I would like to catch up on.

The copy I have does not have one of those plastic Mofi inner sleeves as shown in the photo. That company was not founded untill 77 and were mainly involved with audiofile reproduction ie re-issues. The original LP came out in 75. I was not aware there was a re- issue, but it looks as if there was. Some half tidy sweet soul on there.

Bobby hutton 'Come see whats left of me' Philips white demo m- 200 ON HOLD Stone wall classic , of which there are few in this kinda nick. Jacqueline jones 'A frown on my face' Loadstone m- 400 Crossover of the highest order, hardly ever being offered for sale in recent years in this condition. Prices in uk pounds (our keyboards gone TU and unable to do a pound sign) PAYPAL FOR PAYMENT , FULL REFUND IF NOT SATISFIED. Thanks for looking. Andy

I find many of these boots rather amusing, as they seem to be 50 times rarer than the original, especialy some of the beach/Carolinas stuff. There is also a boot of ' Look on the good side' by the Invitations, which is probably several thousand times rarer than the original. Never seen the offender shown above though, how weird.

I think that's all thats been mentioned is a damn good summing up of what went on, however I did have my eye on Ali several times when we were in resonably decent positions just outside the box, and he was making runs in behind the spanish defence, but the ball never reached him due to the fact we dont have a player like Erickson who's speed of thought can find him when playing for his club side. I reckon we have at least twenty midfielders who could do a similar job to what we are offering at present, which is not going to ruffle any opposition feathers. Don't be surprized to see Madison in the near future, bit fragile, but the defences that have faced him this season have looked a little concerned. First time passes, good speed of thought. If you compare the speed of Ali over three yards compared to the midfield of spain it looks as if he's going backwards. Henderson never gets his head up unless he has time, Lingard plays like a crab and for the most part has little impression on the game.

Yes, Jay Player was the big title at the time. however Benvik did not use that design Excusively, I have a 45 by First Class on that logo titled ' Love is real', however that's just a plain yellow. There are also other labels that used exactly the same design like Macdad records in New Jersey, so perhaps there is a connection there with the First Class group?.

Lonnie Hill ' Cold cold winter in the ghetto' on the Urban Sound logo would seem a reasonable choice or Herman Atterways ' Merry christmas girl' on the B.E.T.A logo. Andy

Really enjoyed that Futures ' Who would have ever thought' ? acetate and the Mighty Sceptors sounded great. Great stuff. Andy

Black & Silver original. Would have asked more for that variant. Andy

Offering this classic oldie in VG++ condition. Plays great. £200. PM to nail it. Full refund if not happy. Cheers Andy
