John Reed

I also find that listening whilst p*ssed to all the overpriced crap I've bought, helps dull the pain of bad purchases.

Always thought of this as Richard Searling play and thought he played this maybe in the late 80's or maybe 1990.

Record sales can be used in money laundering as can other "commodities" and of the three recognised levels the first and is called "placement" where you get your illegal proceeds and buy an expensive record for cash. Then the buying and selling of records is used to wash the cash through various bank accounts is called "Layering". Then putting this money back into the system by taking these proceeds and putting them into your bank account as if it came from a reputable source is called "Integration" I have to do AML training and take a competency test every year...........

Are you saying that because someone wants to DJ, they have a greater right to own a record than someone who buys/collects records for aural enjoyment or because they just want to? Both examples give enjoyment and can inflate people’s egos, just in different ways and neither one is more just than the other.

All of them were recorded in the New London International studio in Birmingham, Alabama, even though the Sam Dee's record doesn't state it on the label. I do remember someone asking that question when they interviewed him on one of his visits to the UK in the early 90's. Never seen 1002, but that's not to say it doesn't exist. I thought NLI was a similar to the initial set-up to Malaco, where these were limited releases aimed to get product noticed by larger labels with a national distribution network (Sam Dees, Polydor and Young Divines, Cotillion). Can't help with the address question, though.

I have nothing against Soul Sam, but please lets not turn this thread into just a dick stroking exercise.

The Newman release of "You Don't Care" has different writing credits to the Star Ville release and mentions their names as All Rights Reserved...

I always think of this as a Graeme Ellis play.

I say a different mix as John Manship specifically mentions it on the blue one he's got for sale. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/49362/COLLINS,_LASHAWN

I thought there was a topic on this a while back, but couldn't find it. Have been thinking about collecting the set, apart from the re-issues is this the lot? I know the blue ones a different mix, but what about the other colours/spellings? LaSawn Collins - What You Gonna Do Now - Sincere Yellow LaShawn Collins - What You Gonna Do Now - Sincere Yellow LaSawn Collins - What You Gonna Do Now - Sincere Green LaShawn Collins - What You Gonna Do Now - Sincere Blue LaShawn Collins - What You Gonna Do Now - Sincere Red

Yep, my mistake

I was under the impression that the last red number was The Chi-lites - Never No More - 4037 with The Shirelles - Don't Mess With Cupid - 4040 the first of the new style label. Don't remember seeing any original releases with both designs, but happy to be proved wrong.

What I don't understand is that the differences between the original and the boot are well known and a quick look at popsike or collectorsfrenzy will show potential buyers that the credits and catalogue numbers on the boot are in a completely different place to the original

I'm looking forward to: "The Manship USA Rare Sleeve Price Guide" only £29 followed by.... "The Manship UK Rare Sleeve Price Guide" only £19 followed by.... "The Manship USA Rare Sleeve Bootleg Guide" only £29 followed by.... "Million Dollars of Rare Soul Sleeves" only £39

I've always been surprised this hasn't really picked up on this earlier (yes I know people have played it....). I think it's a better song and probably rarer than KMLG, although it's never (previously) commanded a high price. I assume its going to be the 3min version rather than that too overlong remix.

I can't see what company its from, so i'm assuming its Rhino?

James Brown could defiantly pump out some fantastic ballads/deep soul, which are generally overlooked when compared to his other output

Thought this LP's linked to when Baylor took TT & Luther Ingram to Muscle Shoals for his Stax distributed KoKo stuff isnt it, as I would have thought TT met Carson Whisett when he was in the Nightingales?

Baby Dont Hold Me ain't too shabby either and is probably my prefered side.

I am and hope to see you and Tina in a few weeks. And guess what..... Peggy Gaines 711 w/d with an "X" popped through my letterbox this morning, well pleased.

Have a look at the Al Johnson article in Voices, it had a discog of his work and might have some more info

Andy, I don’t want to hijack your thread, but are you sure about both a red and blue/yellow release? The last only blue/yellow release I know of was Guys & Dolls (121) in 69, with Josephine Taylor the first of the red design (although I don't think real red one's exists....).There were about 10 releases between 121 and Nowhere (134) and I’ve only seen Because I'm Black and The Guild on both designs and thought those were the only anomolies. It'll be good for BobA to comment as he'd probably know.

I love the dark side, me. I’ll take any original format as long as it’s soulful. I've got loads of 12’s; it’s just really hard trying to choose which ones to highlight. Also got a quite a few small shiny silver disky things and those downieloadiables. Will have a think over the weekend, a few of rusty and dusties, just off the top of my head: Lew Kirton — Heaven In The Afternoon — The extra verse makes it better than the 7” for me Clausel — Let Me Love You — The longer baseline intro knocks spots off the 7” McFadden & Whitehead — Ain’t No Stopping Us Now — Over 10mins of magic Funder Cooper — She’s All Right — A Soul Sam play wasn’t it? Charles Blackman — Special Part Of Me — This guy’s voice was great Jay Player — Love Is the Answer — There’s a great middle part, which is on the flip side of the 7” Jerry Warrren — I Really Love You — The 7” is harder, but you want the full length version — don’t you? Kim Tollier — Where Were You — IMO The long version is reason why the 12” exists Hotliners — Coldhearted — Always loved this. Roger Hatcher — Stormy Lover Affair — Sadly his last release, but what a release it is Herbert Hunter — I Want You Back — Just a great dancer and one of the last new releases I bought before entering record buying hibernation Waters — What’s On Your Mind — Classy midtempo soul Don Hollinger — Love on the Phone — You need the 12” for the long version with rap

Burn Him, Burn Him.....He's a Witch!!!!!!!

Its a greal LP set and comes with a nice big booklet too.
