Really ?
Lmao. Unless of course Mal C's theory about the 'PIR' prefix is valid (?) and then there may be a bargain to be had from a reduced price ? Mal surely knows more about NS collecting than I do. The plot thickens..

This must take the biscuit this year ? It's a half reasonable newbie, I'll give him that. But.. https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/3374310735?utm_campaign=sell_email_v4&utm_source=relationship&utm_medium=email&ev=wh_new&utm_content=release_title&utm_content=b

John Manship Auction results 4th December 2024.
I had a little dabble at Shepards early on, but not at that price. Think I paid £75 for my demo.

Al Williams.....i Am Nothing
I remember it being played to absolute death at Nottingham Palais dayers (travelling from Derby). And if it was a washout later on in the early evening, we'd go back to Derby to the Derbyshire Yeoman pub backroom soul nite (now a MaccyD's) I loved the choon back then though, but cant even listen to it now. And I mean no offence to anyone who still loves it to this day, its just my choice now not to listen to it. The version played at the Palais seemed to be quite 'whiny' to me either side of the 'baby, babys'. I dunno if that was a true feature of the 45, or was a warp or off-centre defect of the copy being played (?) I forgave this bitd though.

Brenda Holloway White Label Demo
Yup, exactly

Brenda Holloway White Label Demo
"Unreleased Motown Demo Recording" sounds like a sales pitch to me. Best thing to do is probably keep it till you get a definitive answer from one of the gurus, or let the gentleman from Melton Mowbray take a look.

Soul16, sorry to hear this, what a devious bas***d. I hope you can get some sort of resolution on the positive side for yourself.

Abdul `Duke` Fakir, passed away today...
Just adding my RIP. Probably responsible for guiding a big majority in to the scene. A nice little tribute on Radio 5live on the way home this evening too. Inseparable group members, and inseparable memories of their music in my heart.

Cover Versions of soul 45 hits (US) ...
Roburt, that's some knowledge you have there. Had to read it twice as it was too much for my wasted braincells to cope with. Thanks 🙏 for a proper schooling, in the nicest possible way.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST 'MODERN' NIGHTER SOUNDS?
Agree 100%, Peter 'Love Dont Come No Stronger' does it for me though for modern, but its each to their own. And 'My Baby's Got ESP' - I dunno why, but single always sounds better than the 12" to me. Not from a clarity / hi-fidelity perspective, but just the atmosphere of it.

Graham Warr Catacombs Discoveries
I have spoke to Richard Searling on many an occasion and also listened to many interviews and Manchester radio shows and seen him live of course and he always enthuses about the importance of Dena Barnes and how it was one the most influential records of his NS career. I am far from doubting anyone's testimony, but I wonder if more than 1 copy was discovered at the same time on the same trip, and RS ended up with one too (?) Bought or gifted ? Same record sold between DJs ? Be interesting to know if there was a little backstory to this great track in this respect.
