Do Any Tunes Make You Cry
Been sifting through some slower stuff recently and Terry Collins - The Show Must Go On - Kwanza. Although I've always liked it, I've only really listened to the words properly recently. Its a really sad song and as a parent who works long hours, it does hit home.

Rare Album ?
I always keep an eye out for this and a couple went through ebay last year. Also on Tiger Lilly is the Sounds of City Experience thats chunky money too. Wasn't this label some kind of tax fraud or drug dealing front? On the boogie front Paradise Worlds Midnight is another one that will set you back a few pennies. On anadjacent front I worked with a guy into classical music and would pay thousands for a paticular LP by a particular composer and a particular orchestra. He was also a big buyer of Japanese pressings. His entire house was fitted with a B&O sound system and his record deck was suspended on wires. I should have offered to play one of my styrene burned singles on it

Clarence Reid - You Knock Me Out
To my knowledge he's only done 3 LP's 2 on Alston with Running Water in 1973 and On the Job in 1976 and an earlier one on Tayster in 1969. You knock me out was released around 1970 and not all of the singles around that time reached the LP's. With significant changes musically between 1970 and 1973, maybe they thought 3 years was a bit too long for inclusion.

Little Richard - I Don't Know What You Got (But It's Got Me)
A fantastic bit of deep soul from 65 - I wish he'd kept to soul, but I'd like to know when and where the combined release of pts1&2 originally came out? I see that on the Mr Big LP on UK Joy, that it states pt1 and pt2 as consecutive tracks, but are they infact just one track or are they still split or is the first appearance of the combined track on a CD? Cheers, John

King Diamond
This is O C Tolbert under a pseudonym. Message is a great tune, but IMO the other side That's All She Wrote (also covered by Gil Billingsley) is even better. A perfect piece of austere soul.

Not Had A Natter About Watches For A While
I was given a Tag Careara from work as a way of rewarding excelence. It is a beautiful piece of engineering. Had to decide whether to keep it or not as I normally wear a white faced Explorer II, which I have always loved and never get bored of. Decided to sell it and even put it in sales on here, bit its gone now. As Baz mentioned Bulgari, a friend of mine had one and I've never seen one since - it was rubber!

Tommy Tate - Hold On - Malaco - Album
I do think that £200 is a bit too expensive and i'm more in line with Paul and Dave's view that its £100-130. A while ago this LP never seemed to turn up, but in recent years and with the advent of the Internet, they do come up periodically. I do agree that it's a rare record and have seen more "Four Tracks" and other "rarer records" come up for sale in larger quantities than this.

Barbara West - Anyone But You/you're No Good - Ronn 27
Anyone got a ballpark price for one of these?

Bobby Patterson I Get My Groove From You
Just listented to them both and they don't sound the same person to me as IMO Bobby Shannon voice seems smoother and doesn't have the Texas twang that Bobby Patterson has, if you know what I mean....... even though Tomar is a Texan label. Then again I could be wrong.... According to the record this is release 11, I wonder if the previous 10 exist somewhere, or just fanciful numbering?

Bobby Patterson I Get My Groove From You
If you get the LP, and also want the A-side of the single too (which isn't on the LP), the demo can be picked up for about a fiver.

Ann Peebles
