Great article I have search Popsike and this record has sold on a number of occasions and fairly recently https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=Mark+IV++‎–+It's+Easy There was a release (involving Jim Stanton here) By Mary Blevins and I have no doubt she was related to Boyd, there's even a contact phone number, but I doubt it will help, sadly, but you never know who's out there

Can't be the same guys then, can it operating here, just a name coincidence then https://www.soulfulrecords.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR3epHazEihyNzHuip9bSBFcW0bfBd5aCdVYM-eqA6FzRkeGMQUCizOc9kk,

Chalky, google the company under companies house soulfulrecordsltd

The one Dave posted on June 9 2011 (above) was blue ?

Missed this one

Nice tune

Does it not seem strange that the B side is a group from Barrow in Furness in the UK ? Like Chalky this has come up before recently and I believe this person will know as he listed it on Discogs (and the others) https://www.soulfulrecords.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR3epHazEihyNzHuip9bSBFcW0bfBd5aCdVYM-eqA6FzRkeGMQUCizOc9kk

You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine - Lou Rawls....My ears still do not deceive me, even at my age

Weird that Ubiquity have released it .....again !!!!.... when there are loads of cheap copies still available of the 2012 re-issue (pressed in clear vinyl as well)

Nice article

Thanks John There's got to be someone who knows on here. (or we all doomed ) I am fascinated that someone would boot it using The publisher on the LP ? (mind you it might have been done that way to make it look authentic) His other single (perhaps a little off thread) where on a different label all together, although it did bear a resemblance to "Dobre" label

I would be very interested to know why it was "potentially shady" please

Vincent, whose surname Lapi means "Bee" in Sicilian was a local singer, keyboard player and guitarist in New Jersey, USA. He was a "Charismatic" born again Christian. He invested over $30000 in making his one single release as Bee Vee and The Honey Bee which was a Gospel/ Disco/ Funk record, with a plan to release an LP which sadly never materialised.

Interesting version

And penned one of my favourite 60's records

Willie ALWAYS made some brilliant stuff and sadly has often been overlooked and this LP "The Mark Of The Beast"

Don't you mean Garnet Mimms. Same as Soul Fox copy with red label Simon Soussan bootleg which has same matrix numbers

I did some googling and this appeared https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/feb/20/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries1

I cannot claim this discovery about Bobby and I apologise if it has been covered before It makes an interesting read and I wanted to share it for the knowledge https://www.bluetoad.com/publication/?i=282718&article_id=2338678&view=articleBrowser&ver=html5#{"issue_id":282718,"view":"articleBrowser","article_id":"2338678"}

I have just come across this LP by Max Handley (originally from Blackpool) and when I looked on the credits.....there she was .... harmony vocals on 2 of the tracks from 1974 and a folk rock LP It's around the same time as she recorded her LP Stretchin' Out at Chalk Farm Studios in London Born as Doris Elaine Higginsen, in The Bronx, Doris Troy was working as an usherette at the Apollo where she was discovered by James Brown. She took her stage name from Helen of Troy. Troy worked with Solomon Burke, The Drifters, Cissy Houston, and Dionne Warwick, before she co-wrote and recorded Just One Look, which hit #10 in the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. As her solo career peaked, she sang back-up for The Rolling Stones, Humble Pie, Kevin Ayers, Edgar Broughton, Pink Floyd (on their album The Dark Side of the Moon), George Harrison, Johnny Hallyday, Vivian Stanshall, Dusty Springfield, Nick Drake, Junior Campbell and Carly Simon. She was also signed by The Beatles to their Apple Records label in 1969. Did she perform around this time in the UK or was she just here for these projects ?

That's true, but if anything goes wrong you can't claim the full amount, that's what customs is for (it's called avoiding tax )

Only Signed for with UK Royal Mail @ £10.90 I wouldn't use standard airmail as it only covers £20
