Hi John, Back from your jollys then? I have this on two different Argentian labels. The WB in your Picture, + another Argie 'JMH' Pink label. Both play @ 33rpm. I also have the US Purple issue and the US WD. Just a great record mate! Sean

You're so right. Bloody awesome. "All Our Love" is also on 45! A Stunning record. But we are talking Sam Dees here. Sean

No probs. Very tasty list BTW. Excellent taste you have there. Good luck! Sean

No Blue Labels Malc... not in the UK anyway. The Irish' issue would have been Blue, at the time, if there ever was such a release (but I don't recall ever seeing one). Sean

Sadly... Bettye Swann "I Want Sunday Back Again"... ...does not exist! Unreleased (but very, very beautiful!).. Sean

Hi Peter, It was actually quite a 'dated' sounding tune at the time. You remember how it was back then: people mainly wanted truly 'modern' sounding records - 80's 'modern' rather than late 60's or early 70's type sounds. I didn't think that it fitted the Clifton Hall or Cleethorpes Winter Gardens stuff I was playing at the time, so hardly used it there, but played it often in the main room at Bradford, along with the more 60's oriented things in my playlist such as The Quotations "I Don't Have To Worry" Don Gardner "We're Gonna Make It Big" etc. I actually cut the LP down with a hot knife (as it was the penultimate track on one side of the album) and covered it up... as the DYNAMICS (in the same way as I did the 'Leon & The Whispers' "Gonna Love You More" cover up) . Nobody knew who it was a the time! And I'd almost forgotten about it too, until this thread came up. Anyway... here's a link, which looks as if it was posted previously by, top man, Roger. Maybe someone can pull it into the thread for us cos I'm a bit dim on such matters. Cheers mate, Sean https://www.soul-source.co.uk/rare-northern...k-gold-bg5001-a

Ahem... All interesting stuff, but the track played on the Modern Scene (which ImberBoy was enquiring about) was "You Make It So Hard To Say No".... ...as I said earlier! Ry You No Rissen!

Yes Bob, it is Sheila Ross of the Royalettes. Agree, Robery Dobyne is probably the hardest issue. Terry Collins "Show" is also quite hard on an issue with flip (BEEEEEEEAUTIFUL record by the way). Sean

Just buy it Baz. Trust me. It's the don! Sean

I believe you Mel. But thousands wouldn't

Here, Here, Steve. Difficult to imagine it being covered up for long. A Stone Soul Classic if ever there was one! Sean

His original version of the Patti Labelle mini hit "You Make It So Hard To Say No". Nice Fingersnapper! Sean

That's right Rich. About 10 years ago. Paid only a couple of quid for mine, donkeys years ago, but think a couple of hundred seems right, now. Sean

7678- Classic Sullivans- Paint Yourslef In A Corner / I Don't Want To Lose You 7685- Sheila Ross- Miracle Of Miracles / You Hold My Life in Your Hands 7688- Spyder Turner- Since I Don't Have You / Happy Days 7703- Bobby Byrd - I'm On The Move / Try It Again 7714- Robert Dobyne - Spent A Lot Of Years / Buddy 7715- Classic Sullivans - A Ring Don't Mean A Thing Without Love / Right Before My Eyes 7739- Terry collins - I L.O.V.E. You / Action Speaks Louder 7766- Terry Collins - The Show Must Go On / Action Speaks Louder 7800- Black Ivory - What Goes Around / No One Else Will Do Have completed the flipsides. I think that's the entire US label. Highlights for me are the two Terry Collins releases and the Robert Dobyne. The three UK releases were:- Classic Sullivans- Paint Yourself In a Corner Black Ivory - What Goes Around Spyder Turner- Since I Don't Have You The following also gained a UK release on the WB logo:- Terry Collins - I L.O.V.E. You / Action Speaks Louder Than Words I've never seen any of the Kwanza US appear on the WB US Logo that I can recall, although Dave is correct in that it was a WB stable label! Not the hardest to collect, but some nice output! Sean

I mentioned on here a few weeks ago that I once read it had changed hands for £1,000 about 10 years ago. No idea of current value, but it's apparentley back in favour again. Sean

I used to play a cracking dancer off the Black Gold 'What A Shame' LP called "You'll Never Find A Man Like Me" by the Dynamics, back in the early 80's. It should have been a monster... but never really took off! What a shame! Sean

Mmmmmmm not realised, until now, that John E. Paul's "I Wanna Know" was produced by Beacon Record label owner, Milton Samuel.

Oops Ralph just published this above!

Christoper Harley's Website! https://www.vitalsparkmusic.co.uk/index.html

It's Christopher Harley. He changed his name in the early 70's when Steve Harley came to prominence.

Some of you boys only seem to come on here for the laugh. Soul Music and Records are serious subjects FFS!!!

A really great record. Years ago we used to play a version by James Royal on UK CBS. Not as good as JW... but a nice collectors piece! Sean

Here's the proper one. That copy looks to me every inch a Modern pressing - Even uses a Microsoft font on the smaller print! No idea who did it though. What's on the flipside, Pete? Should be "Feel Alright Tonight" And what about sound quality? Any good?

Can you recall what he sang, Bob?

Bizarre indeed... ...He's even got a copy of Bobby Bland's "Yum Yum Tree" that plays Nancy Wilson's "End Of Our Love" https://cgi.ebay.com/NANCY-WILSON-THE-END-O...1QQcmdZViewItem
