pow wow mik

i'd have a quid. In fact I have. Still, i'm happy to have that quid though, going to buy 2 cinammon swirls with it.

i have one but pressed off centre! i've had to glue a plastic centre overlapping the record a bit

i'm not sure about the changes in it, think it could use a re-edit. only played it out once, have considered trading it. Dont know how many Jazzman got, must be fair few as i traded mine from his over 2 years ago.

I think the GG is nowhere near as good, wouldn't pay £100 for it. The Carl Underwood's definite hard now i'd say, Soulspinner sold one, wish i'd got it now

that's a strange way of proving it. That's a shit song compared with a good song. Esther Philips has made plenty of boring shit too, soul or not. What if Lulu had sung 'Home is where the hatred is', i know sounds unlikely but 'pop' singers have covered just as deep 'soul' songs. does it immiediately become pop? A lot of vocals on official 'soul' records are certainly no better than Lulu or Sandie shaw. and Tina Turner a rock singer? eh?? you heard her stuff on sue from the early 60s? A lot of the singers on legendary soul 45s now make shit rock or gospel music, does that make their earlier output not soul? I'm not saying Lulu made any 'soul' records, but you cannot say pop singers never made soul records. and if you could, why would you? Dont you just like music if it's good?

All £10 at least EX condition. Decent stuff. The lot for £100 or offer Wally & The Knight - hang on little mama (Tarx) The Matadors - Wobble Wobble (Forbes) Bird Rollins - I'm gonna try to be real true to you (Disco) Jerry Mccain - Juicy Lucy (Jewel) Joe Payn - Hot pants (Gibbs) Bobby Jones - I got a habit of loving you (Expo) Jan Bradley - Back In circulation (Sound Spectrum) Contributors of soul - Look what you done for me (New miss) The Loveables - Take me for a little while (Toot) Willie West - Hello Mama (deesu) The Fabulous Traits - Love is strange (Tele-phonic) Wilber Bascomb and the zodiact - just a groove in G (Carnival) thanks for looking recordmik@btinternet.com or pm

I bought yours in the end Marc, must be a few years ago now. It was an issue. The pictures of these 're-issues' look very much like originals. They have the raised rim and dip to the centre on the labels, and I've not seen any boots with those details before. the Mike pedicin boot had a flat label, like most recent boots. The people bidding those amounts for it must be insane or unable to read English. All 8 of them As for Joe Tex, think it's well worth 200, i think one of the hardest on Federal King. I'm sure most r&b fans have been aware of it since the Federal/King CD came out 5+ years ago, and I've hardly seen any for sale since. The other version is great, where's it from some old comp of unreleased stuff or something? I heard a re-issue label bought a lot of Federal/King catalogue in the 70s and released a lot of unreleased stuff, probably in japan. Why does so much previously-unreleased stuff come from Japan??

well if it's the one i heard i wouldn't have been interested because although the 'love plays..' version is better, the 'i'll be waiting' side had no drums on it, or they were very very low in the mix. but if you prefer the 'love plays' side it was better imo.

me! eventually anyway. My favourite is 'I'll be waiting' personally, but i heard a different mix of 'love plays...' on an acetate that I thought was a lot better than the Claire version. i dont like the Resist 45 but Michael robinson played a different version of 'black wings' nye in London that was belting, but maybe a bit garage sounding for soul tastes.

i've got one spare - £10, do you want it?

think the Sir Guy is called 'let home cross your mind'.

I'll pay an unreasonable price for it

or more to the point, why would you wish you had something to sell at all? Why not just wish for the money and save all the imaginary hassle of hyperthetically selling it?

£100 tom jones record? I'd love to hear that

it went from 0 known copies to about 500 overnight when the near entire stock got found in Wayne's possesion late 90s. I think he said he only got rid of a couple of copies of each to a DJ, decided he didn't like them so just stashed the whole lot! Typically, the first vultures on the scene tried to slow release them for big money and even though word got out, the whole stock of both his Mootrey's singles shifted at about £75 each, quite a bit of money made, pity Wayne didn't get a bigger chunk of it, maybe he did alright to be fair, i dont really know. We used to play it in the 90s, the other side early on too and his more raucus other side on Mootrey's 'peter in peter out'. Great track I think, but one of them that sits in between many scenes but not quite right for any it seems, shame. Only other record I seen by him was a groovy but depressing jazzy number about cancer. nice.

hee hee this thread (or is it me) has got right confused Michael scarpone had the Demons. Michael Robinson bought a demons off ebay for around £300, not a Paul Dino (or maybe a paul dino too?) What's Debonaires / Paul Dino got to with this?!

that's re-assuring, wasn't sure if Pat hervery was the best or not.

bit of fun isn't it? and with that in mind, why are the lyrics so bad? Dont answer, i agree, not for everyone.

It's great, I've been playing the 'know what I mean side' for a while, not northern though, kind of bit kitch funky 60s sound, heavy though. The flip is a great version of 'why dont you do right' which I'd have thought would be more northern friendly, still quite showy. i'll post clips up.

there was about 3 known copies of this for about 10 years, now they're everywhere. I'm assuming a load got found, anyone any idea how many?

all played on the UK mod / r&b scene too, as has Joanne henderson for a few years

Fair enough, but I could say the same about Yorkshire. No one in Yorkshire has a copy either (unless I drag a Gramophone down and play my 78 of it!), so am i Ok to play it off the Wild! compilation that i also have, just so it gets heard? Sure I am allowed to, but a far better choice would be to play what I do have and book Merv to guest DJ, who has the original 45 (allegedly ) and then I get a good DJ with a load more new stuff for us all to hear as well and you're supporting the kind of person who finds this stuff in the first place for us all to play off compilations, or copy their plays. Not having a go, i appreciate it's good that you're playing this sort of stuff in Copenhagen, but where do you draw the line of places it's acceptable to play re-issues because trhere's no DJ there with every record you want to hear? Germany? France? Scotland? Leeds?

Think they're essential to make DJ sets unique. A lot of work / money / luck goes into finding something really good, unknown and new, especially nowadays. Bit annoying if you have that luck due to looking hard and then someone just puts a saved search on ebay and sits at home and gets it for cheap. A lot of people are information leaches who never look or take a risk based on their own judgement, just copy other people. I'd never not tell someone who introduced new stuff to me, but dont see why anyone has the right for one-way info. And as for the artists, how does it possibly hurt them? Either cover up track is shit and would never get played / re-issued anyway, or it's good and will eventually be un covered, makes no difference to if the record had never been found at all. Just gives the finder a bit of exclusive time to play the record. I'm always grateful when people tell me what stuff is that i dont know but never expect them to, or think that it's my right to know.

jesus, the Trent sisters is amazing. Not a northern record maybe but a good record surely?? I think the Peanut duck is a cool dance craze type record, she dont sing too good but kind of cute. Good fun record IMO with a catchy hook at least, more than you can say for a lot of 'serious' Northern
