I've only ever known a demo with " I MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU WAN" as B side.This might help. https://www.popsike.com/Northern-Soul-Classic-Bobby-Sheen-Something-new-to-do-Warner-bros-demo/162028424834.html

What side of this single is getting the most turntable plays ? Is it "What's it gonna be" or "It's no secret" ?

Duke Browner - Crying over you, snapped clean in two think I still have a photo somewhere........

If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.........................

They're out there............... https://www.popsike.com/Northern-Soul-45-Ringleaders-Baby-What-Has-Happened-MPac-mp3/381923386069.html

I think Steve Plumb has one.

You're right, it's not so rare but very, very popular the ones that come onto the market get snapped up.

It surely has to end in tears, just hope I'm about when they start coming back on the market at about 1/3rd of what they sold for

Generally in my experience US dealers grade more conservatively than UK ones.

There were sound files and some of them sounded awful

From what I can gather it is older who've seen the films plus younger newbies who've never known a Jack Montgomery for $100.00, they buy about 5 or 6 expensive records and put them amongst their £3.00 cheapies. In life no matter what you buy, it will one day have to be sold and if you miss the market you'll lose money.

About 2 years ago I was buying VG- Ringleaders for about £30 - 40 !!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't believe these prices especially as some are very rough, surely it all has to end in tears ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182434704744?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182434704487?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361886146028?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 What is going on ?

Big, big Torch sound.............................3 o'clock in the morning.....................

Tony Rounce should know.

Smashing bloke met him at the last Soul Trip USA 6 years ago.

I spent some time with Arthur Wright, he was the arranger for a lot of the Los Angeles Okeh stuff (Williams & Watson, Triumphs, etc.) some of those had scratched matrixes, all the Chigago had stamped ones. I'll check what I've got and see if I can post a scan. My Filipino Okeh demo has a scratched one

Not so, some those Los Angeles releases have scratched matrixes.

Chalky There are Los Angeles releases a lot of these had scratched matrixes, I bought some stuff of Arthur Wright about half were scratched.

Can you post the link, couldn't find it.
