Looking for this if anyone's got one - please PM price and condition. Cheers, Damian

Nice one, thanks. I haven't read about the Ondioline in a while but I seem to recall it was oscillator-based, though? I don't think it would've been able to reproduce that sort of sound that early on. Most likely it would've sounded closer to a Theremin in timbre.

Exactly, it's not only the sound of the instruments but the slightly unusual way in which some of them are played - Strawberry Fields is a good example, it sounds like flutes but the playing is totally "unflutelike". Some of the parts in the TL song strike me the same way. And yes, I've read about "chance encounters" with Mellotron's that ended up on record, too.

Thank you so much - I deactivated mine a month ago.

Isn't it? Happy to be proven wrong about the Mellotron.. it could just be a grungy recording (not that that ever happened on a '60s soul record..)

Nice, thank you - didn't think about that. I'll see if I can find her.

Hi all, Been curious about this for a while as I'm completely in love with the backing track to this song, and to me it sounds a lot like the sort of sounds a Mellotron would make - those woozy, grungy-sounding flutes for one thing. It is not impossible as the instrument predates the song by two years, but at the same time it just seems like an unusual choice for a record in this genre and time period. There is absolutely zero information online - does anyone know anything about this? Cheers! D

D'oh! Thank you for letting me know. I copied the text from elsewhere and evidently that got lost in the shuffle! It's £70, I will add it to the post now.

Hello all, I'm selling my playing copy of the Lovations' Heaven Told Me So/‎I Keep Singing on Part III. I would describe condition as VG+/VG- but please see below. The price is £70. "Heaven Told Me" is the better side of the two and I'm only grading it VG+ because of surface scuffs/light marks, sound is more like EX. "Keep Singing" looks and plays a bit rougher. I've included a close-up photo. There are surface marks and a couple of deeper ones but the record does not skip on my deck (Technics with a Shure cartridge at 2.5 grams). Soundwise this side is a bit crackly and hissy but the music still comes through OK. Both labels are clean with a hint of ring wear, as you can see. **SOUND CLIPS** "Heaven" (partial clip, plays same throughout): https://picosong.com/wyi8Y/ "Keep Singing" (full side): https://picosong.com/wyih4/ These have not been processed in any way. Please keep in mind that raw digital clips can be pretty ruthless and expose every last flaw of a record. I have played both sides out with no issue. Small print: - I post from Spain, and pack well. Registered postage to the UK is £9; other locations please ask. - Payment through Paypal as F&F (or add %). Might also be open to partial (either way) or full trades, feel free to ask. Please let me know via PM if you're interested or have any questions. Thank you! D

Hi everybody, I'm selling this beautiful copy of Jaibi's "What Good Am I" b/w "You Got Me" on French KAPP (with picture sleeve, also in great shape save for a small corner crease. See photos.) I bought this unplayed and only played it a few times at home on a good rig so it still plays as new. Please check out the clips (done on a Technics deck with a mono-wired Shure cartridge at 2 grams). As an additional bonus you get a proper vinyl pressing instead of styrene (which I believe is what the US Kapp copies are). Labels are spotless as well. Looking for £135 + postage, I'm located in Spain so to the UK that would be £9 (registered). It will be well packed. Payment via Paypal as F&F. I might also be open to a 1:1 or partial (either way) trade, I have a list of stuff I'm looking for (mostly '60s vocal dancers these days) so feel free to ask. Full audio clips (the slightly "edgy" sound is just the way the record sounds - it's cut really loud): https://picosong.com/wPBXN https://picosong.com/wPBXH/ Please PM if interested - thanks! ** Now ON HOLD, thanks. ** Damian

Hi all, Looking for these two in at least (good, clean) VG+ : - Volumes, Maintain Your Cool / I Got Love on Twirl - Majestees, Take Back All Those Things on Mutt. Don't care if it's the pressing with the typo or not, as long as it's not the Numero reissue. I would very much appreciate a sound clip for the Volumes as I've had bad luck with styrene lately. Please PM with asking price if you've got either - thank you very much for reading. D

Hi all, Sticking my head out for a VG+ or better copy of this one, please PM with set price. ** ** NOW SORTED, thank you very much ** ** Thank you! D

This is now sorted, thank you to everyone who reached out.

Cheers Dave, that's good to know. Still prefer crappy vinyl to styrene...

Hi all, Looking for a clean playing copy of this, hopefully with clean labels as well (normally I wouldn't care much but that DiVenus design is just lovely). Doesn't need to be mint but definitely NOT worn out, no fuzzy copies, can take a bit of hiss and/or crackle as long as it does not distract from the music. Thank you for reading.

Hi all, Hoping someone can help out with a VG+ or better copy of this, Little Melvin & Boleros "Jealous Lover" on Valarie. I did see the one on FB yesterday but it was gone by the time I asked. Please drop me a PM if you have one (for sale) or know of someone who has. Thank you!

Hi all, Looking for a (hopefully) clean copy of this, please PM if you've got one you'd consider parting with or know of someone who has. Thank you very much, Damian

Sorted now. Thank you everyone.

Thank you Clive, I'll keep it in mind.. cheers.

Hi. Does anyone have a spare to replace this? Thank you, Damian

Interested in this if anyone's got a copy (VG+ or better) they'd consider selling. Please PM with set price - no offers. Thank you very much, Damian

Mine please, I'll PM you.

Thank you, yes, there are a few copies on set sale on Ebay and Discogs but at ridiculous prices for this record (about 4x from what I've seen). And there was one on auction (NM too) which ended today at something like 4 AM and even though I was watching it Ebay didn't even notify me, it sold for the opening bid of $10.. *sigh* FFS.

Looking for a clean-playing (VG+ish) copy of Voice Masters - Two Lovers on FRISCO. Please PM with price & condition if you've got one - thank you!

Hello all, I'm looking for Little Robbie, I've Got Troubles Of My Own on RSVP. Demo/issue OK as long as it's a very clean VG upwards. Reasonable prices please. Anyone? Drop me a PM please Thank you!
