How many do you need...there is a good supplier in Japan! PM for details.

It was a previously unissued track...came out on a Kent LP.

Rarer and more desirable than the stockers imo...charismatic and catchy even...but it does seem a lot. There is a WD >>> HERE <<< for £100.

The Japanese bit at the top states that this release is part of the 'Black Power Series'!

I was in Paris one Valentine's weekend back in the tail-end of the 90's, and ended up wandering arond Clignancourt market for an hour or so...loads of record stalls! I actually walked past a few vendors before eventually stopping at one interesting box saying, 'Black/Cha-Cha/Twist' on it. Don't know why I went for that, but I did! It was mainly French presses of dodgy loungcore or disco tracks, but mid-way through I came accross a US copy of Benny Troy (IWGYT) for 10 francs (£1). I actually smiled and put it back down in a generous moment of giving someone else a thrill one day! I was actually thinking I may get lucky and come across a Hesitations or Ray Pollard EP, when blow me down up pops a Seven Souls resplendant in the art cover! My immediate thought was that it would be the wrong record inside, but no, there it was on French Epic and in good condition...and only 30 francs (£3 at the time). I controlled all eternal tell-tale signs of excitement, went throught the box one more time and bought the SS and BT. The stall-holder tried to short change me, which I wasn't actually that bothered about, but I did point out the error and got my correct change! I didn't bother looking through any other boxes or stalls...I'm not a greedy man! Anyhow, back to present times, I regularly come across UK presses here in Tokyo, and occasionaly the odd French, Dutch, Spanish and Italian piece too. Yesterday I found this rather nice Carl Carlton on Action (what's it worth nowadays?).

Yes, in all the excitement of finally managing to upload some soundfiles onto here, I exceeded the new rule...sorry gents! My next goal is to now master uploading more than one soundfile in a single post!

Hmmm...it is the link Refosoul just gave me...search there under Marilyn Rowler

There may be a WD of this one too, going by demos on the label around the time of that release number. My eyes are peeled for you.

I've seen a scan of one...white label with the bell design and blue print. Never seen it in the flesh, so to speak. IF it is genuine then it is rare...very rare.

For reference...their other tune on Topaz, 'Sweet Soul Lady' is also well worth checking out. Not as obviously funky as T-1319, it is more Northern...powerful with great organ and brasswork...quite sinister sounding almost like a slowed down Deadbeats (Strata).

Riding in on this one, if that is cool: Here is a nice pair of matching Tri-Sounds. Available as a pair for £100 (+P&P...both not a million miles away from being mint...ex store stock). TOP TUNEAGE!

Speaking of 'Love can't be modernized'...I kinda like Jimy Graham's version on Revue (a label worthy of its own thread)...a Sir Graham production under the baton of James Carmichael too...anyone else?

Sadly, no. I haven't been able to track down any definitive label listings for J-releases at all, so I'm piecing them together myself! Fun, frustrating and seemingly endless..LOVE IT!

Not to my knowledge, squire...if I learn to the contrary you'll be first to hear about it!

I've not seen an orange one...scan anyone, please? How anyone could slag this powerhouse never-say-die, thumping-mess of an R'n'B classic is beyond me, so to speak! Love it!

Lars, Are you collecting Japanese releases on these labels? There's quite a few Invictus and a few Hot Wax too. PM me if you want more details. Flynny

JoeS and Brothers now sold. Chuck Jackson is still available.

If anyone needs one, I have a mint-ish plumb label copy up for grabs on my site...£40. Belting R'n'B!
