Hi. I’m interested in your Youth Opp. Does it have the letter with it- not sure if the YouTube link is yours or not. Also are you interested in part trade. I could for example trade a lovely French epic ep with pic of seven souls £400 plus cash and/or a nice VG+ of Ideals mighty lover £140. Best. Paul ps for some reason system won’t find Bri Phill to send PM

Thanks vm for bringing this subject up Alan and all the replies. It’s finally persuaded me that the so called UK publishers acetate I bought (from a very reputable dealer) is dodgy and must have been a walk in commission job. I have asked other reputable dealers and all were interested, as it probably is a one off, but no different than an Emidisc of the time.

Just pm’d with pic.

Just sent PM

Pm sent yesterday. PT

I’m sure you’re right Rob on the demo and I agree on quality. Cheers. P

Great thanks - I did search but only found a short note by Chalky. Trust Mr Thorley to have found one even if it was the worst version. PT

In case you haven’t seen Steve Jeffries has a red Bard label copy of Eddie Hughes great Soul Searcher by the writer, Don Hysong on his site. It’s same backing and very similar to Bob and Fred’s Ill be on my way. Has anyone any info on them it’s a small Detroit label not sure if related to Big Mack which released Bob and Fred must be very rare - anyone heard either version played out the Don Hysong one is poorer voice imho Here is link to EH.

First one Spanish and next US PT

Hi. I am after jayboy demo 24. The above message was in vinyl wants. Best. Paul

Hi. Been after this a while. Have the lovely US pic single but collect the French eps. Can pay cash PayPal or trades. There is one on discogs from France but crazy price. Thanks Paul temple

Just dug out my six track seven inch EP of Down To Earth and damn it excludes the Angel Baby track. It does have the better (in my view) Hey Love track though. Really love the Brazilian one and it’s now on my wants....

Hi Richard. Are you interested in any trades for the fabulous emotions. If so I’ll send you pm with some doubles I have. Best. Paul ps assume it’s yellow label demo.

Do you have a second copy of Donald Jenkins for sale please. After this one. Thanks. Paul Temple

Nice copy. VG+. A few marks nap. See pic. Very slight wol £125. Plus post. PayPal fnf preferred. Will consider trades x/o paul Temple

I have an early Sable black copy in ex condition. £40 until you find a real one for £3k. No probs if of no interest. Best Paul T

Hi do you have a scan please of Donald Jenkins on W&G Aussie. Thx Paul Temple

PMd you. Best. Paul T

Vivian Copeland and Susan Phillips are very similar. BJE more sweet soul. All VCs three singles on D’oro are worth a listen if not a purchase especially the sublime I don’t Care with Oh No Not my Baby a la Maxine Brown and so many others - but a great version. SS had an interesting topic on SP some years ago as Discogs inferred she may also be aka Sharon Soul, but this is still a mystery. PT

Have a lovely VG++ copy of this very rare monster tune. Never reissued or bootlegged except for a few poor carvers. Some would grade Ex but all these trophy presses had slight vinyl pimples which do not affect play. Am only selling to buy something else on auction ending soon. £2500 or would consider part trade, for other rare original - After an Incredibles stateside demo for example and Kitty Doswell. Like rare Xover. Below is identical pic but I can scan mine to any serious buyers. No cash offers below asking price please Paul T.

That invitations SS demo should be worth well over £300 if in decent condition which it looks like it is. Very rare and hard to find sellers.

Thanks Mike. I’m a big Chicago soul man and while I love the Artistics and am a fan of the Chilites the Three Shades of Soul tops it for me with the more upbeat xover style. I was lucky enough to meet Barbara Acklin when Ady C brought her over for a short tour with Ruby Andrews. Barbara mentioned she sang on many of the Brunswick records as back up singer including the Hi-lites then the Chi-Lites (eg I’m so Jealous). She co wrote Being in Love and possibly was one of the Three Shades of Soul -anyone know for sure and if so who were the other two. cheers Paul T

I met DT a couple,of times once in Vegas where she was singing nightly with a three piece band in one of the Casino lounges. She joined me for a drink and chat at an interval and was very friendly and mentioned her time in the UK including her one release on Apple. Ady C then brought her over for a Cleethorpes weekender and she came with Barry St John who she knew from her previous time here. Lovely lady. Paul T

If you dj with quality rarities like this then I hope your venues are packed. Been after this for a while. PM me if you would consider part trades. Best Paul Temple
