re: Larry Marshall - It's all about that amazing moody guitar that drops in - really eerie and soulful. Personally i'm really enjoying tentatively dipping a toe into the JA stuff - hearing amazing new sounds everyday. Apart from having to nearly sell the little collection i'd started a few months back due to money issues!!! Really really glad i was able to hold onto them in the end. re: Teardrops / Ernest Wilson (Glen Adams): Yes the teardrops thing seems to be a mix up of the Viceroys and Paragons 'Tide Is High' - it's from '71 but sounds earlier. Probably explains the title With regard to GA - the version I've heard was from I-Tunes - not sure if maybe it's an unreleased version? I thought I'd seen a JA Jackpot press so maybe it's from that? I could be confused here though as the waters are much muddier than the soul stuff!! The Amalgamated / Island UK version is much better anyway.

How amazing is this:

ERNEST WILSON - SHE'S SO FINE - AMALGAMATED AMG 837 (1969) One of the more obscure releases featured in this session, this is generally reckoned to be Glen Adams and not Ernest Wilson, to add to the confusion, the official A side (a rather too frantic reggae version of "Private Number") is credited to Ernest Jones! Why did they make it so hard for us LOL? Anyway, "She's So Fine" is a lovely Rocksteady tune cut the previous year by Bunny Lee (I think) and features a catchy chorus and an excellent vocal from the multi-talented Mr. Adams. Picked up one of these myself recently Pete - it's stunning. There seems to be another version by him without the lovely backing vocals - is that the Jackpot release? I'm a big fan of The Viceroys 'Send Requests' but only have this later Big Shot version by The Teardrops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxpYmXVv8Z0

No expert here but best stuff I've heard so far is: Alton Ellis - Breaking Up Stranger Cole - Crying Larry Marshall - I Got To Make It Johnny & The Attractions - Cross My Heart Prince Buster - Linger On Eddie Perkins - My Darling Errol Dunkley - You Gonna Need Me Owen Gray - Take Me Back Delroy Wilson - I Don't Know Why Renegades - Knocking On My Door Audrey - You'll Lose A Good Thing Ernest Wilson - Undying Love

Just Bros is sublime...

Excellent catchy and dramatic popcorn / big city soul dancer as just auctioned by John Manship for £180. Ex condition with company sleeve, really nice item. £100 reduced Cheers, J

Good to see the Echoes getting a spin Marc - and the Five Chances of course

Looking for decent playing UK copies of both: Errol Dunkley - Please Stop Your Lying - Amalgamated Prince Buster - Shaking Up Orange Street - FAB Thanks, J

That, Caffey Bros and there was another good one as well on Greg's show a while a back.

Good prices!!

I find a bit of both - there are a few particular DJs I always hear new things from when they play, but also so much rare excellent material from the online shows - all of the people mentioned above are must listens. Also as Marc pointed out comps are always worth checking out as there are often very obscure and largely unknown tunes on them - Point Of View being a great example. Think we are in a great period of new or largely unknown material turning up of all genres - from that excellent old skool r&s James Lynn Marsh right through to left field jazzy funky stuff. That's without all the unissued pieces that are found. Venues might be suffering a touch but musically it's all good!

Agreed - great record!

Cheers for the info.

Indigos is great Steve - is that Caesars on the Doc Peabody label??

Top work Tony! Was the culprit ever caught? Bet it was Ady. He's alway loitering with intent.

That was the Beat!!! wasn't it?

Great 45!!! As sampled by Pete Rock

John - didn't this have two label variations - one on yellow power pac and another design? Rare (and brill) record by all accounts.

Got put onto this cracking old skool 60's dancer by Gloucester's finest recently - old Rob Marriott c/u apparently. Would be good to see it take off again - although think someone told me it's had plays in Burnley or somewhere similar recently?
