Glad im not the only one thinking the worlds gone mad.£200 for this is crazy.There again if it wasnt for stupid prices lately i wouldnt nearly have paid my mortgage off.Its a combination of more collectors in the world = more demand.Also from what i hear quite regularly older people taking advantage of the relaxed pension rules and spending some lump sums. Tricky

Not at home so no scans but just picked up one of me favourite tunes. Diplomats - ive got the kind of love - CBS Israeli. Looks nice,solid centre 45rpm. Tricky

I do 2nd class recorded at £2.50. That gives me a little leeway if im busy to pack and post and still be reasonable for delivery time.Postage is £2.30 and 20p for a new mailer.What is wrong with that.That covers 3 singles usually.That actually doesnt cover the cost of the mailers.I agree that people take advantage at times but dont buy from them.I would be more worried about stupid prices people are asking for not rare records.I am probably doing the same myself because of what i see in sales. Note to self, get a grip.

Also think they are all the same group.Havent played my Multiple Choice for yonks but sure they all include Conwell,Colbert et all. Tricky

Isnt it great to find out that there are unissued Loma cuts and to hear them.I wouldnt have thought there would be any because so much stuff was leased in! Hearing Ben Aikens version of Patrice Holloway is great thank you very much. Tricky

Only the British release has the exquisite Day in the blue on the flip though i believe. Tricky

Would you believe there is a second cut/mix of this by her on the label and it truly IS awful.

Only knew of two on Deke. What are the three please? Tricky

8O,S RECORDS Crossover really!! Not having it. Will bow out now because pointless arguing the toss. Quite a lot of years on the Soul Scene. Tricky

(Crossover is a term to discribe a record that fits into both Northern Soul and Modern Soul, hence the word crossover.) I utterly and completely disagree.This is where the confusion comes from.It has nothing to do with where it was played. Tricky

Right I think Chris Turnbull has it spot on.Crossover is the transitional period of Soul culminating in more sophistication some of which was played before the term became popular.However i would go so far as to say that some of my choices may be 67 to 73.My threepenybittwobobsworth would be the likes of, Kittie Doswell - Face in the crowd Nathan Williams - What price Jaqueline Jones - Frown on my face Girls - Mark my words Jo Armstead - Theres not too many more Lovations - Later baby Reggie Soul - My world of ecstacy. Primbrock Skiggs - That was yesterday James Shorter - Modern day woman Patti Ward - Girls you have to wait for love El Shobey - Never missed what you got Delilah Moore - Ill just walk away Most of Bridges Knight Eatons output falls into Crossover territory as does a lot of the West Coast stuff under the Delanier / Hangra banner like All my good loving,elevater song,love cant be modernised.Likewise with Johnny Camerons and Clarence Glovers stuff out of Chicago. Sorry im rambling now but its 4am and i cant sleep. Tricky

Point accepted. In the middle of said minefield Trev

Hope that reply didnt look like i was having a dig at Peter.I wasnt.Just that there is a difference in peoples understanding of Crossover and this is shown in the first two replies.It can be a minefield. Trev

I was just about to say Chris had got the ethos of Crossover spot on with a good selection to start off with.IMO i would not put Buddy Smith as crossover.Great 60,s Detroit beat ballad that it is.

Have often played You cant see.Cheap as chips records on a great label Windy C. Dont have to be mega bucks does it.

I quite like Imitation by Frank Furter & his Hot Dogs. Not 100% sure but i dont think thats his real name!

Our Jean didnt have much luck did she! Her Sunflower recording Love Hangover is muffled too.Mind you its part of Golden Hit and they had issues with Nomad Woman didnt they. Tricky

Funk records have always been played.Its just now its trendy to rediscover them and then find more obscure crap funk records and fill a night with it.Funk is the new Rock n Roll or RnB ta some.

You know when you get a great original and a later version is its equal but not better.For example Ty Karim Lighten up. Well the Major did it twice with Dark and lonely and Without a doubt. Tricky
