'Your love' is indeed the flip to 'GTGTJJ'...great tracks...Saus used to spin GTGTJJ. There is also a French EP with a pic cover she may appreciate seeing too...anyone got one?

This guy sells discs on behalf of several collectors. Oddly enough the three discs you mention turn up fairly regularly over here...I missed a RSJ for £150 the other month!

I have a rather nice demo for sale (£100)...also got their 'I didn't try' too (£225). Superb Soul tracks, all sides!

Hope you're well, Russ Only ever had a WD of Pearlean Gray...never seen/heard of demos for their two Green Sea 45's (apart from the Atco variation before you mention that one!). Now, someone go buy that Fred Paris from Paul!

So good, both sides...'I can really satisfy' sounds like a £1000 sound! Anyone ever had/seen a demo copy?

The original, and best, version! A luverly WD copy pretty much 9 out of 10 styrene/labels. In the current JM guide at £100...yours for £30 + P&P!

A right thumper of a tune...quality hard-driving Chicago R'n'B! Vinyl is not far off being mint...a luverly copy! £55 inc. courier service P&P.

A luverly ever-green atmospheric stomping Oldie! Rarer WD vinyl copy. Vinyl has a few very minor marks, but plays thorugh luverly with no problems. £50 inc. courier service P&P.

The rarer #0022 first issue. (The green and white label ones are #0026.) Vinyl is pretty much 9 out of 10...labels are free of sticker'n'writing. A nice solid slab of West Coast R'n'B/Northern...£200 in the current JM guide...yours for £125 inc. courier service P&P.

Was put together in association with a collector who had the lot of 'em! Oddly enough I find the occasional Action release over here...nice early red'n'yellow ones too...amazing what has made it's way over to Japan!

>>> Action Listing <<< Haven't checked the other links listed, but the listing on my site may be useful?

I've got a spare of this on Lady...been listed on my site since the start of February at £20...still available too! Maybe I'm Japan's cheapest seller?!

What's this worth on an original Okeh 78?

Big shame. An institution amongst UK indie stores. Spent many happy times chatting, drinking tea and selling-in the monthly new releases to Baz and Jim (amongst others), when I was a record label rep...many moons ago! I think the only possible future for independant record stores in the UK is within vinyl...of the second hand variety. Yes, we all buy via the internet, but a small independant second-hand vinyl/collector's store with a low rent still stands a chance? The internet can't beat face-to-face buying/trading, surely?

If I remember correctly, the instrumental side to the LJ Reynolds is the same as Don Gardner & The Checkmates on Spectacular, albeit on that label it is simply called, 'Cookin''.

I used to put it on tapes in the mid to late 80's...quite a good dance track with a fair number of fine Northern ingredients. Pops up on the 'Bay fairly regularly and fetches £50 or thereabouts. It is also on his album also on Awake...on yellow vinyl too...just as rare (if not rarer) than the 45.

AAAAARRRRRGGH! Where is Ady when you need him?! (Mind you, I had fun at the Tokyo collector's night on Saturday night too! )

I NEED to hear this too...even a live snippet would be appreciated! Pretty please!

Thirded. Dirty, gritty, lo-down Detroit Soul!

Seven copies in two hits apparently...certainly not enough to satisfy demand or to affect it's warranted safe four-figure valuation...imo. This is one of the truely great Chicago Soul sounds...faultless...harmonies par excellence...brass section from Heaven etc etc...LOVE IT!

souljazera on here was after a copy of this...may be worth PM'ing him? Good luck with the sales...didn't Jim also have an Icemen on Ole, or is that to come? SELF EDIT: Good grief, I just spotted your seperate thread for the Icemen! Glad my memory is still working as it is a fair amount of years ago since I saw it in his racks!

'Help me grow up' / 'You're such a sweet thing' Been years since I owned it and I can't recall it being particularly good...so you'd probably love it, Bob!

Have had the Little Sonny Green...have you had the Little Mell with Jimmy Landers also on Whip? Had the Eldees and Jean Wells too...but never had the Tim Daugherty or Cleveland Robinson discs...are they any good?
