John Reed

That must have been Charly's biggest seller then

I think Tommy Starr (Charles Mintz) - Better Think Of What You're Losing (2095), the other side of Love Wheel is a fantastic bit of crossover and it's cheap too.

Can anyone give some history as to the Redd Foxx LP's? I know he was a comedian, but he's got the most LP releases on the label where's the link or was it a way of WB releasing his stuff on a minor subsidiary without it potentially tarnishing their lead brand?

I don't think I've got Tony's yet, but could be wrong.... as my wife chucked a few in with a lot of CD's from other swaps and they're all mixed up, so I need to go through them. Teach me to leave them lying on the side. Dya think we could have a tally up of who's got what? Cheers, John

Mark Houghton is a master of that... He's got more examples of getting bargain that I've got records. Saying that he has worked hard at crate diggin'

Wounded Woman, I'm such an ar*e. Yep, ment Woman To Woman . Just came back from a work team building weekend in Dorset, so my eyes are still crossed and my mind's not as sharp as it should be. I agree her Malaco stuff is a fine and sizable back catelogue and I should have been clearer when when talking about her small output, I was primarily refering to the Stax stuff and the period from about 83 to 89, that I don't remember a lot of airtime for her other recordings (well not in London). I would love to see the 2nd Stax & Arista LP's get more of an airing, but I'm very cynical these days. Most of it is cheap and easily availiable and what prestige does that give to a DJ other than playing "bloody good" soul.

It may have something to do with my age (I was 7 in 1974 ) and was too young to have heard/appreciated her output on inital release. It maybe my memory going, but when I started to listen to soul on the radio, Wounded Woman always comes to mind as compared to her other stuff. It wasn't until I started digging deeper that her other Stax and Arista stuff came to my attenion, rather being lead by radio DJ plays. As you said, its been as long time since I heard anything from her 2nd Stax LP and i personally rate her Timeless Malaco LP too.

I think all or her stax stuff is fantastic with the rest of her work overshaddowed by woman to woman, awsome though it is. I also feel that she's suffered a simlar fate as Eddie Floyd where generally she was not held in high regard as in the likes of Mavis and Carla, possibly due to the size or her output compared to theirs.

Val, that has made my day. PMSL...

One went on ebay at the end of April for about £100 (was gonna buy it as a birthday present as I've never got round to getting one, but bought something else instead) rarenorthernsoul.com has one on their site for £175, which I think is a very chunky price.

Thats the version before the Altantic cut and John Ridley mentioned it when he included RB Hudmon on his web site. Send John a mail, he's always willing to help.

Alejandro Aguayo played this in the Jim Wray lounge as Essence this year. It's a magic tune wish I had one. Apart from that I know nothing about it either.

Supposedly it was featured in the 1971/2 film "The Big Doll House", about a women's prison, mmmmmmm... Don't know if a soundtrack was ever released though?

Too true...

Dave, I asked the same question on here a few years ago and that's what I was told . Cheers, John

Dave, Here's one on the net, I found a while ago. https://forbiddeneye.com/labels/guinness.html Cheers John

I've always assumed that his last single Special Occasion was on it as it wasn't on the first LP.

It's the official A-Side of All Because Of You on Sport, you might get more luck listing that side as well.

I'm assuming that your after Our Day Is Here/Keep Me Satified? He also did some great stuff on Alston too and its all dirt cheap

Brett send me a pm and we can talk

The last ones of mine have gone out today.....

Seen the issue at the same price many times. The issue is a slightly different mix as the strings are muted compared to the demo and is sparse in comparison and I think the demo is actually better. The flip Who's Fooling Who is quite nice bit of counrty soul without being exceptional.

A man with two hobbies Soul music and philately. So what gives you the bigger buzz, finding a great tune or the sniff of melting solvent as you carefully steam off those elusive stamps........

Harsh, but fair.....
