Hold Tight

Just got Seans this morning and I am listening to it as I work. So far so good.

Issued as Soup bone,Chaz+2 on Mab-Jab 1001 in about 1962. Cab be found on Las Vegas grind 3 CD I think. Cheers and good luck. Mark.

Hi Warren, Soulnouvea have one - VG++ ? cheap as chips at about 5 plus P&P I think my second copy is trashed and has wrong lables - cant remember if I have any other copies but will look. Mark.

You could se if someone is going to the states to collect or to have it posted to a trusted contact in the states who will post it uninsured?

Melba Moore - I got love - stock issue. Demo has an edited version. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/120011/MOORE%2C+MELBA

Try this Mal https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/118890/5+ROYALES cracking track.

The real cost of progressive development - the loss of culture and heritage. Shame on them.

A loss to the world of rare soul. Keep overlooking us.

well thats three of us then - enough to fall foul of the law and be moved on by the police should we choose to congregate in a public place. I will see if I can get some uploaded if not I will burn some to a CD.

Will pm you Mal.

Happy New Year to you as well Angie, I have to put me hand up to number 3 and I think the title sums it up. Hope all is well Mark.

Not a problem Kirsty - was actually Soul-Smugglers-Inc who provided the prize, although I have no doubt Martin, Toni and the guys at KSC wish you all the best on your endeavours. Pressure is on them now to come up trumps. Money in the post for tickets, Mark.

Yep, I am a big fan and collect early soul/doowop crossover tracks.

Nowhere_to_go.mp3 anyone got any ideas who this artist is or might be. Taken of a publishing house acetate from about 1959. Cheers mark.

Didn't mean to suggest it was a boot. I have bought stuff that is original from Belgioum only to have lots of poor excuses for not sending it - ending in claims against the traders. See what you mean about the quirkiness factor of the labels - and I do love the little infomercial bits on the labels of demo/audition copies. I have some and in the main there great history. Still back to the search.

Think it should have record box stickers for those DJ's that sign up.

I think £200 for that opy was a bit much, label well off centre and SR on label. So would not appeal to a collector. Dj wise lot of money for the track, especially with Belgiums track record for catching people out. I first heard it in France and am still looking for a copy and will no doubt be looking for quite a while.

Is it the picture sleeve french copy?

Dundee davie also has the alternate take of it and wants it on 78. Hows that for research.

Hi, does anybody out there have, or know where there is , a copy of Joe Tex - Pneumonia - on King for sale at a reasonable price. If you do please pm me. ta Mark.

? not strictly true Mr Bear. Local yes - oldies no. SSI was probably the best part of six decades of soul music of various genres. Mark

He did make me an offer at IOW all niter but I had to turn him down. I did say a cash offer would have been better as I aint like that!

Alfie - this has been popping up on a few lists - I thought Chirs Anderton had one not to long back but didn't email you as I thought you ahd picked a copy up. Sorry Mate, let me know how you get on and I will keep my eyes open. Mark.SSI

Yes Mike that will be me. Sorry was rushing around to get them in the post and realised today that I had only put in the track list and nowt else!
