There MUST be somebody out there with a spare copy, or a copy they'd like to sell on, or perhaps you know somebody who's got a spare copy, or you've seen it listed somewhere recently??? It's not rare. It's not generally sought after, except by me of course. It's not worth a lot. It's just one of those records that floats my boat and I'd like one before I get too much older. Thanks in advance.

You bar stewards!!!

Yeah, great tune. I've had a copy for about two or three years now. Sadly, doesn't get enough plays. Probably due to fact it's so rare.

Will do. Thanks again.

You tw@t Thought you were going to tell me you had one for sale. Please PM me next time you spot one on eBay or the like, thanks.

Worth more but what can you do when money's tight?

And I'm still looking for one. Surely, there must be somebody out there with a copy to sell? C'mon Denbo.

Hi Gaz, Yes it is. I'd appreciate a 'shout' when you find one. Apparantly, it's not a rare item it's just that I missed one the other day for not paying full attention. Oh well . . . Denbo.

I was aware the hexagon clock was the original design. Even looks older, if you know what I mean. Thanks regarding the Jay Lewis. Denbo.

Indeed!!!

I see. I thought you might have been trying to point out which of the two was the original release? The stamped matrix on each look identical so how does one decide on which label design is the original? Denbo. Incidentally, do you know where I can get a copy of this; Artist : Jay Lewis Title : Love Is Real / Darling Let Me Know Label : Dra 313

Can somebody please help me with a clean copy of the following; Artist : Jay Lewis Title : Love Is Real / Darling Let Me Know Label : Dra 313 Denbo.

Good question. Anybody?

Hi Mik, Like you said, chances are you weren't even at the Hideaway the night I played it and to be fair, I don't see you there every time it's on. Let's face it, we can't be everywhere at the same time and we can't always make every venue we'd like to, now can we. Having said that, we do try our best don't we. Remember that night at the Mousetrap? Anyhow, keep up the good work Mik, I admire your get up and go attitude towards records you think fit the bill and I think you do a great job for our little scene. Denbo.

Up to now Tommy we've only ever come across white ones. Doesn't mean that blue ones don't exist but I doubt that they do.

Just to set the record straight, I found this on a trip to Philly with John about 6 years ago. Obviously, John went nuts over it but it was the only copy in the shop and believe me, we turned the place upside down. From that moment on I tried very hard to track another copy down and finally located one about 2 years ago, which of course I passed immediately onto an extremely delighted John Kelly. I played it first at the Hideaway about 3 years ago but nobody took any notice of it. Their loss I thought to myself. The next copy went to my pal Tommy in Oslo, which was quickly followed by the copy Mik Parry located about 6 months ago. I'm really pleased to see it finally take off. I have a few more tasty records like that which I think might be unknown and fit the bill. Perhaps next time people will listen more closely to what's being played, rather than who is playing them. Sorry, that was just a little plug for the 'casual' DJs come record 'collectors' like myself. You regular DJs do a fine job and to be honest, give me the inspiration to go out and try my best to track down these kind of records for us all to enjoy. You'll always see me with pen and paper in hand jotting down the sounds that 'float my boat' during my visits to as many of the venues playing R&B around the UK that I can manage. But I especially enjoy my trips to the States every 2 or 3 years with John and am looking forward to my next visit quite soon. Not sure where we're going yet but it'll be great no matter where it is I'll bet.

I can't give you a value but I do know what you've got there is a UK re-issue of an earlier release on HMV. Can't remember what year it came out on HMV but I think it was about 1965. Hope this goes a little way to a better understanding.

Any chance you could Refosoul us a soundbyte, only my company's firewall prevents me from playing pretty much everything EXCEPT Refosoul!!! Thanks in advance.

Ditto. Apple Macs no chance. PC's hit and miss.

"Never seen a U.s. copy." That's what I thought. Just checking. "Came out on a very scarce French EP." Yeah, pretty sure I've seen one of them, a few times actually. But not recently. "Got a mint UK copy, but not in a rush to sell it." Ditto. Got the Lp too.

Anybody ever seen it on an American import?

I don't think so either!!! Nice quote by the way sunnysoul but cut it out to get to my point. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks. Have PM'd you. Anybody else with helpful info?

If it was then hats off to Ian 'cos it's effin good.

Hi Guys, I'm looking to start a collection of soundbytes, complete with label scans and remarks, something I believe many members on here have been doing for many years already, and was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to help me out with a template that I could then populate / fill in. Presumable this would be some kind of modified / customised database, or spreadsheet? I have an Intel chipped MacBook but a PC version would also be okay as I have the Microsoft Office Suite for Macs loaded. I don't know if any of that last sentence was helpful, just thought I'd mention it in case it was. I don't have the necessary skills to do it myself from scratch and because I'm almost always working away from home, I don't have the time to learn. Please PM me if you so wish but please help me any way at all if you can. Regards, Denbo.
