Soul-slider

And here they are....

Personally I like it. It is 'Northern' Soul. Rare, odd, weird and a great back beat. You don't name yourself 'Soul Brother' if you're going to play Jewish Folk or Country, surely. Hey, I respect your views though Soulstrutter, diverse taste is what it's all about 👍 KTF

A bit late in the day I know, but I now have a WAV / MP3 of Rodd Keith 'I'm A Man' (Preview) which I managed to source from an old Northern Soul compilation tape that someone did me in the 1980's (might have been Pete Smith). Quality isn't perfect but there are no sound-files anywhere of this great 45 (imo). 'Like The Lord...' rhythm and oddball lyrics, I wrote them down as you can see here... https://www.45cat.com/record/nc747909us If anyone wants a sound-file pm your e-mail and I'll e-mail you the file.

Great site. I use it a lot.

I'm intrigued myself about this group. BTW: I've got a great version by 'Thee Midniters'.

Yes Mick, I'm Johnnyhotspur.

Here you go Mick, The Chantells were Vicki Skinner & Debbi Newton. This has been confirmed on one of the other youtube clips of the 45 and on 45cat here.... https://www.45cat.com/record/88755

There's also this official re-issue from 2013 that is the same as the first cut...

There's no official 45 but you can get the vocal version on this LP... https://www.discogs.com/Various-Something-Weird-Greatest-Hits/release/12282308

The Vocal is on this LP... And here it is...

Supremes - Love Child Supremes - Where did Our Love Go Supremes - The Happening Martha & vandellas - Honey Love These four please if still available?

Aqua Lads & Chantells, great 45! I have a photo of the Chantells somewhere, from memory 2 white females.

😆

Charlotte O'Hara AKA Charlotte Matheny AKA Bonnie Graham (Preview). Acetate found by Charlotte's daughter Jana O'Hara...

Brings to mind my copy on pink Jo By. Fairly used, got it from the States years ago, but if you look on the B side, you can see another label underneath!!! A red coloured label. It's sort of lifted a bit but I dare not lift it to see what it is!! Weird.... EDIT: I just looked on 45cat and can see the same side as mine with the red label underneath...https://www.45cat.com/record/e500

Sorry to bring this up again. Are people still waiting a long time for their records from the States? How long should you wait before making a claim these days? I bought a 45 from ebay on September 1st and seller posted same time. I still haven't received it! Tracking seems to be stuck on 'In Transit', it was quite an expensive one (£165 all in). I've spoke to the seller several times and he's a good guy so I'm being patient, but how long should I wait?

White boy mixes pop with a bit of R&B to make it 'hip' for the teens. 'Once A Thief, Twice A Thief' played on the Northern scene, also 'You Can't Lose Something You Never Had' was a version of a tune released on a Kent Anniversary 45 by 'Chubby Checker'. Both these are on his LP..

Mental! What's my mint original worth then?

Jimmy Burns, the first version I heard. It's strange but most people do tend to go for the first version of anything they hear. Bought the Mystics but it doesn't really go anywhere so I traded it.

Nice avatar 👍

Thanks Mick. So it's 'Tear Drop 3226' which puts it at a 1968 release. It is missing on 45cat's Tear Drop listing so I am going to add it now. Hopefully someone will come up with a sound-file or post it on youtube. I'd love to hear it. It must be a bloody rare one as there are no images anywhere, not even on popsike. Joe's 'You're Everything (They Said You'd Be)' on Jade is a good Northern dancer...

Confirmed then, Billy is a white guy. Lee David is the 'Temptation Is Calling My Name' guy? Now, I always thought he was white!!!

As Chalky say's, that looks like a vinyl 45. I'd say original.

I can find no image of the Joe Vandiver 'You Fooled Me / I Stood By'. Maybe it was unreleased and only an acetate exists?

I think Rob was referring to the seller in Spain, not you. I've had this problem before, annoying! At the moment I have been waiting for a record from France for over a month. No movement on the tracking number!
