John Reed

That'll go well with the 2 waistcoat's I've recently bought.

My Head Office's in Frankfurt and have asked before. It seems to be a bit of a wasteland comapred to other German cities, could be that people generally commute into there for work rather than socialise there.

It's a terrible record, it should have be left in a field....

So theres at least another copy contrary to Sean's post there being only one (post #21)

Think its carefully stored in the East wing of Sean's house.....

You can pick up all of their singles for around a tenner each

From memory on the one's i've got, but dont a lot of the rare 70's US Epic issues have some form of demo stamp or sticker on them? I seem to remember someone saying (maybe Steve G) that they were pressed in limited quanties as some record company clients/pluggers preferred double sided releases....

What think is strange about this UK release is that the b-side "What Love Has Joined Together" has a 1972 publishing date, compared to "Harmour Love" which is 1975. The Euroepan releases of "Harmour Love" have "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" on the other side, which also has a 1975 publishing date. I wonder why guys at EMI in London thought differently from the rest of Europe (please no comments about UKIP and being different.....)

As Mal has mentioned above, I think PayPal are more concerned with being tough on perceived “layering” in relation to Money Laundering rules than missing out on commission. If you pay for goods in the standard way, you theoretically have a real reason for a transaction and an audit trail can be identified. Whereas F/F is a bit grey, which is probably why their being so hot on those type of payments.

Some of the Sofa's and armchairs in the lounge are quite comfy, but you need to be early to get those choice seats. The downstairs bath is a nice treat.

John Ridley wrote something on his site, althought he did concentrate on "I Pledge", and I do agree with him, that it's their best side. https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/L/lonnie_floyd/index.php

Think these were bootlegs pressed for the Japanese deep & sweet soul market. Dave Porter has stated that 32 LP's were pressed in the series

My understanding is that she hailed from Jackson and only had two releases, which both bombed. If you look at the credits these are Malaco productions which were leased to ABC on the back of Tommy Couch/George Soule’s trips to New York based labels. Three out of the 4 sides were written by Paul Davis who became a sort of in-house writer for Malaco and wrote quite a few hits for country artists.

I think its silly people worrying if the Northern scene is “underground” or not. Most people would agree that it’s generally populated with people over 40, who’ve loved whatever scene they’ve been on for years. Surely worrying about “undergroundness” — yes, I know it’s not a real word, is for the youth and young adults who are trying to find their own identity and place in the world and not for people in later life with mortgages and children of their own. I may that thought it years ago, but now I don’t care, as adverts on telly using 60’s Soul, TV programmes, waistcoats and other comedy clothing don’t detract from or affect the music I love or venues I attend. As a grown man I have better things to worry about than hearing the Mello Souls whist shopping in Tesco’s.

Don't think it got released on vinyl as it was a Lavine/Motorcity creation.

It's also on the "I Wanna Dance" LP

Dave, This was issued twice on the same number with different artist names. I think its a slightly different mix to the Hutson release, with some girlie backing John

Just listened to them both again and it sounds like they are the same recording to me, but the one on John's site has some extra special effects that the eBay one doesn't have.

It sold for £1,500. I put in a snipe but that got blown away. John Ridley has the unreleased version on his web site.

I watched last night with my wife, who has no interest in Soul/Northern at all. She thought it was quite interesting and got an insight into that world, which I think overall is a good thing. She did ask "why are people wearing novelty clothing" which I thought was a bit embarrassing and made me wonder how many other “outsiders” thought that way.

Peter, if your not that fussed about getting the 7", try the LP Blues in My Bedroom as it's on there and I think its the same version as the 7" and it'll probably be cheaper to get.

I quite liked Gabrielle's version

This was played at the time of release (1989) and a bit after. I thought it was quite odd that this 12" released was issued in between the two LP's but wasn't included in either of them. It may have even been a joint venture with Rod Dearlove and Brad Comer. I thought "More Than Enough Love" was quite catchy, but was spoilt by that inane rap.
