Here's the four US variations 2149-S (Demo) 2149-S- (Issue) 2172-S (Demo) These images are typical, as there are multiple variations of these first three (different layouts, demos with coloured logo and black logo etc.). However, I could only find this single scan of a 2172-S Issue (there may, of course, be others). 2172-S (Issue) Cheers Mick

Theres, loads of copies on Youtube - Here's one of them ... Cheers Mick

Indeed - As was the Jimmey Soul Clark running at the same time.

Here's an mp3 convertion Voz 002_sd.mp3 Cheers Mick

Michael Yes, got those fine - I posted this query before I managed to find your phone number and ring you up - The records arrived the very next day. Cheers Mick

To those of you who ordered it, has anyone received the new mix of Epitome of Sound from a place called the45sclub.com, who have been taking preorders for quite awhile - release date was supposedly 24th May. I have tried contacting them a couple of times but as yet have received no reply. I wondered if it's just me or are some of you still waiting ? Cheers Mick

I bought Sam's copy directly from him - must have been about '78 or '79. He had just uncovered it.

Makes sense, I dropped out mid to late eighties, so that's why I didn't know it until "Second Time Around" in the nineties.

Also, I remember you having that Precisions at Bretby in the early to mid-nineties, which was the first time I ever saw one. I think Sam was after it from you, but I just ended up buying your acetate of "My Dear Heart" voc / inst on the same night.

Gilly, seem to remember some of the La Beat recordings had the same traffic noise problems at time of recording, and the tapes had to be sent away and processed by some service that could remove background noise. Cheers Mick

I'm sure it's been on eBay before, you might find comfirmation through Popsike, unfortunately there's 100's of US copies to filter through. Just found one ... https://www.popsike.com/Soul-45-Bobby-Sheen-Something-New-To-Do-Warner-Bros-mp3-JA-press/361142063386.html Mick

I think that's Jamaican Cheers Mick

That's very sad - Was only thinking about him a few days ago.

Diane Renay as Laura Greene - Can't Help Loving Dat Man", also on UK Grapevine

I will take it (just pm'd you) Cheers Mick

If you actually claim for non-delivery, is refunded from the sellers Paypal account (assuming you paid through Paypal). Usually best to talk to seller first though, as things can get delayed for various reasons. Cheers Mick

For me, the Moments "Just Having Your Love" would have been great, backed with "I Got The Need" (the latter has had a recent release on 45, but JHYL is the one for me.

Both these are on original 45's The Marvelettes is a US EP (45rpm) , and the Gladys Knight is a Philippines single. Think both are only promos though. Cheers Mick

Yes

Still looking for these, if anyone can help. Thanks

Does anyone know what happened to that Jamaican copy about a year ago. I wondered if any other copies turned up. Cheers Mick

Just found some more Motown - these are Indian (both printed on labels) - TMG 555 (Isleys - but 1968) and ETM. 8 (Jr Walker, also 1968) It does indeed look like the numbering system depended on who was in the office that day

Cheers Johnny, was never sure, so SA it is for TMJ - thanks again

Yes, they look like UK Columbia - Just dug them out, I have three. Hey Little Girl 45-DB-7168 Um,Um,Um,Um,Um,Um 45-DB-7205 Matador 45-DB-7271 They look exactly the same as UK releases, but 'Made in India' at the bottom I've also got a few Tamla Motown with TMJ list numbers (I don't know if these are Indian, as there is no country printed) Cheers Mick

I have about three (or Four) of Major Lance 45's on Indian Columbia
