  1. Wanted nice clean copy of this. Excellent to Mint - EDDIE BO - From This Day On on Seven B Please PM with total cost, thanks Mike
  2. Thank God - a shop where Lily Allen and Pete Doherty once went in has been saved for the nation !!!
  3. Saw him in Newcastle about seven years ago - he was still on top form. It was great to see him get some well deserved recognition over the past few years - loved this track off the first 'comeback' album and it featured on 'The Wire' - quality Soul on quality TV - two rare occurrences these days! RIP
  4. the end of the following clip - from 4:07 - always has the same effect on me Ivor... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_PiLl3Ql3g&feature=related Mike
  5. Great label - Cle An Thair. Once again Ian Levine was the first to bring it to everyone's attention back in the day '74/75 in his Black Music column.
  6. Thanks for pointing that out Kev.
  7. or 'Cream of the crop' ..or 'Now You're Gone' ! fantastic album. It was tough to get when it came out!
  8. He does have multiple copies. When I bought one from him he offered me some more. I give them to friends who I know like Otis. It is a very interesting record - it was a demo done for Wilson Picket to record - I believe Otis plays guitar and Dan Penn 'drums' on a box. I really like it. It is featured in Nick Hornby's book 'Hi Fidelity' - the gist of which is a woman tries to sell her 'cheating' husbands valuable collection for coppers - but the lead character declines, however, he takes a copy this. It is also listed in Dave Marsh's great book of 1001 Rock and Soul singles 'The Heart Of Rock & Soul' - it comes in at 950. He was the person who innocently got the the record withdrawn when working as 'Rolling Stones' record reviews editor when he mentioned it to his lawyer who also acted for Atlantic and the Redding Estate. Zelma (Otis' widow) had not given permission to release it. He claims to have bought the remaining stock which he gave away so I'm not sure where this dealer got his but I'm glad to have one (and a remaing 'spare!) Mike
  9. my favourite of his... billy butler - love grow bitter -
  10. Yes - you need to say - BARGAIN!!!
  11. Me too - it was several hours before I came from behind the couch, here it is in all it's glory =>
  12. as do 'fish 'n chips the song was also done by Funkadelic titled 'Fish Chips and Sweat' !!!!
  13. Jazzman - Green,Gold, Brown - great quality - https://www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk/v2/prodtype.asp?s=hjf5la56370&strPageHistory=category&numSearchStartRecord=0&CAT_ID=57&numRecordPosition=9
  14. Yes, I'm sure an 'answer' record but written by 'Murphy/Allen'
  15. A wonderful album - 15/- new - it opened up a whole new world for me - back then you knew Muddy, Wolf etc but the artists on this album were something else - Sammy Myers, Tarheel Slim, J.B. Lenoir, Frankie Lee Sims, Lowell Fulsom - a great great album filed alongside 'This Is Sue' ! Mike
  16. I realise there is a 'pecking order' with these things - I know my place - but it is the rubbing of our noses in it I can't take 'I've had one sent', 'I have it in the car' etc etc If it does not stop I will stop buying them when they eventually come out in protest;)
  17. Dig deep into the envelope for a note Jaco - caught me out too!!!
  18. Moondogs ? - Great mail order - trailed across London in '76 to visit it once and found it shut:(
  19. UK recorded too! Great track - see the thread elsewhere about this - A Real Thing/Chants connection somewhere. Mike
  20. All look good Ian but the two Sean H compiled are right up my street. I was talking to Sean at Just Soul last week and he was very excited by them and rightly so. Good Luck, Mike
  21. I went to see Automatic Man at the Marquee - summer of '76 ? were you there Tony ?
  22. Hi Baz Didn't do any record shops when I was there but if you are staying over it might be worth checking out the Shakespear Pub - great Blues club - had a great night in there - lots of different beers and live Blues/Zydeco. Oscar Perry use to play there. Lofty
  23. Apologies Mark - anyone else having problems? I checked random tracks on all CDs before posting- so don't know what has happened - I'll get you another one out ASAP Mike
  24. A chapter devoted to it? that book must be a riveting read
