Is the Ben E King legit? Just looking at the credit at the bottom of the label.

Depends what time you're on. If you get the early doors set you're on a hiding to nothing but get on at 10pm+ and the world is your oyster

I got an emidisc of Candy Staton 'Upper Hand' and was thinking of putting it on ebay. It's quite low-fi and will of course list it as a 'boot'. I bet I still get a nice return for it though.

I think I'd rather keep it as is, 'Soul Galore', rather than stick a crap looking photocopied label over it!!

So, is this the 'Soul Galore' re-issue from the 70's with stuck on labels or a newer boot?

The Sunny & Sunliners RPR 45 used to be about £50, but who knows now!

This is the L.P with some 'soul' on it, can't remember which track my mate played me but remember it being quite good...

Yeah, not bad. As a keen collector of British 60's Mod &Soul.....just purchased Thanks for posting.

Invitation - 'Band Of Angels'. I like some of Manfred Mann's early stuff '64/65 when they had a bit of a Mod sound. Later stuff like 'Pretty Flamingo' was a great tune.

Presume these are like the 'Golden Oldies' record club I used to be into during the 70's where they send you a catalogue to choose records from? If you don't choose any or say you don't want any that month they post you their 'record of choice' instead. You had to commit yourself to buying so many per year.

The 'B' side of SOTDL is a corker too, shades of Blue-Beat/Ska thrown in there too!

Ha, I know there is an L.P track by Paul Jones (Manfred lead singer) that is quite good (crossover type thing) but that 45....no, no, no, no, no!!!

There's this one too, great dancer (no youtube clip)...

I know it's a bit of a UK Mod anthem but was 'The Quik - Bert's Apple Crumble' played on the Northern scene?

Noticed that Bettye Swann is credited as writing 'Elijah....', so is there a vocal to this awesome slab of soul?

My copy is styrene and has those numbers psamsara listed but with a delta number 97939 and a Monarch stamp. It also has 'Dist. by Malynn Enterprises, inc.' on the label. It's got fabulous sound quality but I presume it's a boot/second issue?

I have the 45, but that is some piece of memorabilia!

Nice bit of 'Mod' soul that Gouldman tune. Bet it's expensive!

Think they all are original, just different pressing plants I guess. Edit: see here: https://www.45cat.com/record/nc883728us

Are you sure it's not the other way around Chris? I have the boot and it's fairly flexible/flimsy.

I read somewhere that Eddie Spencer was a Jamaican, don't know how true that is but that would explain it being cut in the UK.
