In my experience issues are harder to get than demo's

Does anyone else think that since the site upgrade the auction prices seem more in-line with real-world prices? Is it the credit crunch?

An absolutely monster tune, don't know which version I prefer this or Quiet Elegance? I posted up this want a couple of years ago, but sadly no responce. Hope you get one. I'll be interested in the next one that comes along after you.

I'll have 10 if they're going. Usually goes for about £75-80. Moerer has a VG+ for $125

I thought the yellow one was just a straight reissue of the red one. Can someone post up a clip of the yellow one for comparrison please?

The release numbering on Forte is also all over the place too.

This one? Cant remember what track is being played off of it, but Paul McKay has a 7" European only release of it on Zafina

I can understand the releases on Soul after Motown took-over Ric-Tic in 68, probably trying to get some extra value on some popular local tunes. These are all fledgling Motown releases, so probably done for a wider distribution, which Motown didn't have at the time.

I've been thinking of Vigil Henry - You Ain't Saying Nothin' New, which was originally released on Colossus and then on Tamla, possibly in a deal for wider distribution. Not being a Motown expert, were there other releases like this?

They have a difference suffix at the end of each matrix number, maybe that's the way to tell where is was pressed?

Brett, Personally I think its a cracking double sider and yes its a cover of Blands Cry, Cry, Cry. There was some dodgy numbering there. PM me your email address.... Cheers, John

Never really got on with Buddy Conner - When You're Alone. Its got everything in there that I like, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

Didn't he also get a lot of his artists to record a version of "Under The Pines"?

Oh, I only know of two releases by him on Crown Int, didn't know of a third. Do It right Now/Who's Been warming My Oven - NR15306 Night After Night/When Did You Start Stop Loving Me - NR15655-1 I think these are the sides that match, If I'm wrong its due to me not tagging them correctly on ITunes. Thought these were after the Hy-Tyde release of Angle and before the re-release of it on T-Jaye

There are so many, mine are... Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes - Bad Luck Billy Paul - Bring The Family Back Anthony White - Hey Baby O'Jays - Backstabbers

An other one went through ebay last week at $9.99 also

Fancy swapping it for a WD and some cash?

I'd definately like to see one of those........... and I'd make a nice space for it to slip into.

I've never seen it on ebay, suppose they're all tucked away on shelves in Japan. Then again I don't remember seeing "One Hurt" either.

Has anone ever seen an issue of the tower release, as I've never seen one?

My favourite grading comment i've seen was... Cue burn for the first 2 seconds otherwise mint. Still wanted quite a high price.

Slightly off thread but, this is another tower release which has a great northern side coupled with a wonderful deep flip. "Lets Talk It Over" is fabulous

Thinking back youre right Bri.

Wait for Mr Plumb to wake up, he's go one and I think Sean Hampsey has one too, the lucky buggers.

Everytime I hit the back button on IE, I get Webpage has expired, not sure if its my PC though. I like Sutty, miss the list format. Also you have to click on another section to see what the condition of a record is. This is one of the first things I look for when buying tunes, which is a bit of pain.
