John Reed

2047 - Mike Pearson - Are You Happy / Need To Belong - Crash This record is a completly different design to Jimmy Dobbins and the Steelers and doesnt mention Chicago. It also has "Sound Of The Future" which I dont think is on the other Crash releases. The reason I think they're linked is that this and Jimmy Dobbins are both Jerhart publishing and produced by Bob Lee. One that Vince sold a while back

slightly off topic, has anyone ever got a record which has a high value on the outside and didnt get hit with the customs charge?

If anyone wants to get rid of an unwanted copy of Rufus Hunter - Win Or Lose - 724, It'll be greatly appreciated.

its 30 yrs old, it came out in 1982

His latest blog talks about finding some undiscovered Nigerian stuff. Having worked in Africa and with Nigerians, going crate digging there he must be a very brave man. Excluding the recent news footage, it's always been a dangerous place to go and I know a few ex-pat Nigerians who don't particularly like going back.

Right again, Dave. I'm starting to think that the 3rd Flight release was a bit of an anomaly compared to the other releases.

Dave, Just checked and by jove your right. Slap me for my tardyness, will change my listing So there's 1001 to find. It's not Sharen Clark cos that's 1000 for both the A/B side and Bobby McNutt's Hold Tight is 1002 and that's the A-side, so I wouldnt have thought they'd put 1001 on the B-Side, or would they?

1000 - Sharen Clark & Product Of Time - I'm Not Afraid Of Love / Mama Did't Lie (Sho Come True) - 1971 (Also released on APT 26009) 1001 - ? - ? / ? - ? 1002 - Bobby McNutt - Country Loving Country Style / Hold Tight - 1972 1003 - Eddie Fisher & Allan (Dealth) Merry and Yodi Gang - Homeboy Part 1 / Homeboy Part 2 - 1972 1003/4 - 3rd Flight - Third Flight / Love, Love, Love - 1972 1004 - De De Turner Happining - Outside Of Memphis / Anyone Or Anything - 1972 1005 - LaVel Moore - The World Is Changing / I Just Want To Be Your Man - 1972 1006 - Sharen Clark & Product Of Time - That's A Good Reason / It's Not Your Business - 1972 1007/8 - Ames Harris Desert Water Bag Company - Checking Myself / People - ? 1009/10 - Georgettes - Hard, Hard / Would You Rather - ? 16857 - Daphine Williams - I Love You / I'm Your Man - ? Looks like 3rd Flight, 1003/4 was a was a duplicate number,different label design to the other Yodi releases but was a Young Desciples production. Daphine Williams was completely different in design and numbering but was also a Young Desciples production.

Top double sider

The Night The Lights Went Out / I'm So Glad You Came Along is a great disco/soul double sider. I saw them at the Circus Tavern with Harold Melvin and the Three Degrees. They were bottom of the bill, but for me they stole the whole show.

Missed that one. A case of silver disc blindness. Some more.... Staple Singers - Slow Train - Stax Ponderosa Twins + 1 - Tomorrow's Train - Astroscope Four Tops - Last Train To Clarksville - Motown Diana Ross & Supremes - How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone - Motown Willie Hutch - Train Of Love - Motown Jerry Butler - That Train - Motown Eddy G Giles & The Jive Five - Eddie's Go Go Train - Murco Bettye Lavette - My Train's Coming In - SSS International Southwind - Get On Board The Train - Venture Where's Pete Waterman when you need him, surely he'd have a few up his sleeve.

Ive always liked You Keep Me Coming Back which is probably a bit too Boogie for most on here.

You should be able to pick em up for about 50 quid each

Do you also want stuff by James "D Train" Williams or Box Car Willie?

GC Cameron was Out Of My Mind/No Need To Explain.

At a guess the one you may have wanted is the one without the address as the one with the address is a different mix, sort of softer if you know what I mean. Think they came out at the same time, but more than happy to be told otherwise if wrong. Its got some great southern style guitar work.

From a black music perspective he does tick all the boxes, from ballads, soul dancers, funk and 80's boogie. I would expect his live shows to be very dynamic.

I'm sort of thinking along the same lines as Bob. Are you talking about a CD swap, but one that's wider musically than the recent Sweet/Deep swap from a couple of months ago?

Just watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

John Ridley has a page on him https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/G/joe_graves/index.php

Her Hidden Gems CD from the early 90's was packed with crackers and all previously un-released and just shows that the quality of the rest of her Stax output was top notch. My fave's on this apart from I'll Never Stop Loving You are: My Man Believes In Me, It |Ain't An Easy Thing, Good Man & Goodbye My Love.

It was just a general enquiry really. In the last 25 years I've only had 2 packages lost, both in 2010 (one from France and one from the US) and I've claimed via paypal.

This has probably already been done, but couldnt find a specific thread. If you buy a record and you pay via paypal or not, but dont recieve it. Someone has to make a claim on the post office, so who does it, the buyer or the seller?

The advantage of this one compared to the original is that this is a vinyl press, whereas the original is styrene. So less chance of it getting needle burn when played more than twice.
