Living so close to Pat is potentially good for "sales" and bad for his bank balance...

Records by Mail had it on ebay a few months ago with it at a buy it now @ approx £250, there were no takers

You are right "somehow missed the "r Love" off, bad typing... Changed the heading for completeness. mmmm.. that's getting into Tolbert territory, and when I told my wife I was thinking about that, she hit me below the belt with a "but thats a holiday" blow and the conscience kicked in. Many thanks, John

Although it's a want of mine (like so many others), this is more of a question. Does anyone know a ballpark value for this? I know it's rare and I'd like to have a figure in my mind, rather than having a complete shock, if one does ever come up for sale. Cheers, John

Pete, So how does this compair to Tolbert - I Got it, as I remember you were a "big fan" of that? I remember when Clifton Dyson appeared at the Norfolk Village, copies seemed to appear out of the woodwork, which he was happy to sign.

A similar situation to the Carol Anderson. I had a tape of Rod Dearlove on I think a Steve Hobbs show, where Willie Johnson - It's me was played (I think it was the same show that Wilson Picket - I Want You was played) and another call to Soul Bowl. With the other side What am I going to do without your love - Savannah International. Bought Charles Brimmer - The Feeling is in my heart - Broadmoor. The other side is the absolutely fabulous Mr Teardrops Bought Bill Brandon - Rainbow Road - Tower, and the other side is a cracking bit of 60's "You've Got That Something Wonderful"

I'll post it up tonight when I get home from work, unless someone posts it up before me. Cheers, John

Bob Jones played Carol Anderson - I'll get off at the next stop on one of his Solar/Horizon shows and it completely blew me away (still one of my all time fav tracks). A quick call to Soul Bowl and it was in the post. I didn't flip it over for about a year and found Sad Girl on the other side.

Is that the one that was on ebay a few weeks ago? The seller put quite a write up on it. I had never hear of it until I saw it on ebay. It's the only VOEH record I don't have (I think), but, was a bit too pricy for me once I heard the soundclips.

I posted a request for one a few months, but to no avail. So if someone does have one, can I be included too. John

Theres two on Gemm at the moment. I don't know about the other seller to John Manship, though. https://www1.gemm.com/search/artist/MELVIN-...ME--OVER/45RPM/ John

Sorry about the delay, I'll reply to pm's tonight

It's definately one of my favorite lables, with my prefernce from the years 69-75, when it got more "black", with Hays, Porter, etc taking more control. I also went to an all night do at the Scala Cinema in the late 80's (I think) for a blaxploitation film night + music, with accross 110th Street, Cleopatra Jones and the awsome "Whatstax". I've been trying to get a copy, was it ever released on video or DVD? I think it would be great if we could have a day, where we post up sounds of "the great and the good" as a tribute to 50 years.

DJ Blues - fidelfatti featuring glen white - magic 15296 refosoul Last one from me before going to bed. I got this from Tony Rounce, after a do in London many years ago, this is an Italian release.

On My Way Up - magnificents - dt 15295 refosoul the 12, although it does say the single verson. There seemed to be a lot of covering of songs and the use of the same backing tracks - Were they skint??

Bugger, you beat me to the punch (upload)

Whats Happening (Joey Negro Club Mix) - ac soul symphany - z 15293 refosoul Soul, House, who cares.... IMO just a great tune

True Love - joe valentine - tee jay 15291 refosoul An EP rather than a 12, does this count?

I'm having trouble uploading, is it that 12's are a bit too long so the file size is too big?

Something Inside - randy wilson - regal 15288 refosoul The other side of Patience

My Love - malik - fareel international 15286 refosoul

Willing ways - billy john - kaption 15284 refosoul
