....yeh,didn’t see any 45s,and those on the shelves look like lines of duplicates....

Mark...the Admirations disc is the one for me....but I tend to play the flip side more these days”lonely street” brilliant beat ballad with razor sharp backing vocals....

never mind about the scan,Rick,but,thanks for putting me onto that thread....and of course,Roger(45cellar),uses the SOS demo as his PIC.....

Yep,this is exactly what I was told,must have been 25years ago,or so.....

Yes Rick,it was a great photo,although it was black and white,you could easily visualize the silver text,on blue background...have you still got it?....I’m sure I was told it was a Pete Widison “original”.... ...,

That’s the one,imagine finding one in a charity shop now!!!!....enough to make a grown man wet himself..........

...I have also seen the scan for The Volumes on PAMA....I might be wrong (it was a while back),but I’m sure the chap that showed me it said “I think it might be a “Pete Wid” originally sourced photo copy....as for the POLYDOR demos,isn’t Edwin Starr (SOS)probably the hardest to get hold of? Tho Tony M more desirable?....

I could do with one of these...£20 coming your way.... ...

Can’t say that it’s for me Benji,Buck for Buck,Pound for Pound.....I’d rather have, The Prophets,on Shrine... ...

This one will do me.... ....it’s not rare(so Butch won’t have played it ),it’s just a great,red blooded,mid-tempo soul record..................

Baby I’m sorry.....is a killa....

You’re right there bud,also picked it up on TOWER,with the brilliant “look out love”on the flip....”lonely lover”sounds very TIMI YURO’ish, dark smokey vocals...brill....

I always thought that THE INVERTS “time will change” (Broadway),was a male lead vocal....as for BIG DONS REBELLION “ it was true “(ethon)....ain’t got a scooby on that one,despite the record being a one of my favorites......

I still think that the Darrell Banks “LONDON”issue would have gone a lot further(moneywise) if it wasn’t for the fact that Johns site crashed before the official deadline,and then there would have been the extensions....

Wasn’t the original a 10”,78 rpm acetate that Macca had made into a small number of 7” vinyl 45’s?....

In the early 90’s, Tim Brown,Steve Davis,and I think,Roger Banks?appeared on a “record collectors soul special”,with Andy Kershaw on Radio 2.....

I think that “timings”and “comments”on radio station copies are ok,and acceptable....kind of adds to provenance....but autographs?...forget about it....

That’s an interesting one,what with the French scribing....did it come out on French “GoogaMooga” ? ....

Ed...I don’t think Franks dedication and signature did this copy of “dilyiid” any justice!!!! more a case of criminal damage,as opposed to mystic and charm.... ....

Marie,Leslie,Betty and the two Maxine’s for me please,Bruv!!!

...me too...(see above)....

...”you got it baby” by The Volumes for me,the flip side, “ a way to love” is a perfect “Sunday chill out” sound... ...

Here’s Wilmer and the Dukes,giving up a fine impersonation of Otis Redding...

...here’s a mid-tempo,blue eyed soul outing from Tremeloes lead singer and frontman,Brian Poole...on a single sided CBS demo..... .....

...that original version of “Dark End Of...” was a superb choice,Geese....but for me,this version is tops.... ...legend has it that RCA advised Elvis to use Roy’s voice as a benchmark...it worked out well for Elvis..... .....
