Blimey the amount of r&b records I've sold for way too cheap....first Teddy Mack now this!!

Are they insinuating that the Brits who have travelled to America to put on soul nights are merely doing it to stake an early claim abroad over the big boys or 'mentors' back home?! Or do they mean that there are shadowy Americans who have been feeding these records through to us Brits for years, and that these are the real 'mentors'.....pulling the strings of the whole dastardly scheme!? Sounds like a case for Grassy Knollington, Conspiracy Theorist....

Tough to find on Cyclone but even harder on blue Progress. The flip 'Hot Dog' has a shit title but is great if you are into rockin' r&b....plenty of rasping horns and screaming vocals

Got a issue of this bunged in free as 'packing filler' when i got my Little Tommy through a few years ago!

I think it is better on Winner too, the Twinight dosen't have the same raw appeal or the same edgy production. Sounds like a different singer too!

Steve Aldo 'You're Absolutely Right' on the same label is another superb British soul cut, and much more uptempo. I think The Apollas did the origional?

Can't believe what Teddy Mack went for!

Temptests 'I Cried For You?'

ps. Paul - Johnny McCall...what a record! Stunning...whats this fetching nowadays?

The Ohio Players version of 'Love Slipped....' is completely superior to the Sam Williams imho....the vocals are truly outstanding.... Other amazing Tony Middleton cuts are 'Return To Spanish Harlem' on Speed which pips 'Spanish Maiden' for me (and the flip is also great) which was big on mod dancefloors a while back and pretty tough....also 'Drifting' (on UA I think?) which whilst not a dancer has some hair-raisingly good vocals from Tone.

I have this on RCA and I believe it also came out on Shield.....whats the first issue of it? Great record as J-Brew said

two great sides

Glad people like the George Perkins, I got bought it as a birthday present earlier in the year! Brilliant record both sides... JM has one at £20 get it quick

You can buy either for under £100 on the actual issues as far as I was aware? Didn't you have both of these Vic?

Agreed, phenomenal record and one of my top 10! Very glad to have a white label of it too, but not sure it could be played out? Isn't there a pic of the acetate or something in the revised Top 500 book?

Many thanks for your help Jaco! How similar is the Carolyn Crawford? Does it have the mandolin in it as well? Beautiful record btw....

have sent a pm cheers!

Can anyone help with info on this track please?

Did this get a 45 release? If so does anyone have a copy for sale please? cheers Joel

I think Manchester's Playboys would be more like £150 ish now but thats absolutely top whack.......brilliant Brit soul!

says it all if it hasn't come up for that long.... ...brilliant record!

£800 ish? very rare from what I've heard

ridiculous nonsense
