Soul-slider

That Johnny Jack is a strange one! I bought a copy for £50 a few years ago now (about 9 years!) but was dissapointed when it came as it plays low-fi and looks like a recently made 45 (i.e NOT 1960's). A mate pointed out the same with his copy but thought maybe it's a previously unissued tune? £125 in Manship's book!!!!! Maybe I got a boot, but according to J.M there is NO boot.

I've never seen an Embers yellow demo with the cartoon lion, I don't think there is a boot on MGM? All the yellow copies i've seen don't have the cartoon lion. The blue & gold issue does have the lion but not the cartoony type.

Great, I also love the reggae version by Pat Kelly on UK 'Camel' from 1969.

Just had a look in me TMG box...phew, I have a copy! Did it get a 45 release in the USA? If not, maybe that's the reason???

Think the L.P was a Japanese release. Not to worry however as it came out on a 45, twice! The first was on a UK release 'Soul Series' with a kind of 'Stateside' look about it. Can't remember what the other label was but I'm sure someone on here will enlighten you or correct me.

Great taste Baz! I remember when the missus went and I was on my own for a while, listening to this really did tug at my heart strings and left me feeling sorry for myself. Quality tune, the Nolan Chance version on 'Thomas' is great too.

I concur!

The re-issue 'put out by the artist himself a few years back' according to this: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RUFUS-WONDER-UNDER-THE-MOON-GR8-NORTHERN-SOUL-LISTEN_W0QQitemZ130371211811QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Records?hash=item1e5abad223

Elkie Brookes, now there's a record that has surprised me over the years. When I got it I thought WOW what a tune! But it's fairly unknown and I've never heard it out or seen it listed, it doesn't even feature in Manship's UK price guide. I'd let my copy go (ex) but not for peanuts, I really don't know what it's worth as there's very little documented about it on the soul scene. Make me an offer if you like. John

I put in $100, thought maybe it would clean up nice.

My labels reversed too.

Just realised it's from DETROIT(?)...there's another by him backed by the Motor City Orchestra on Setting Sun! ....or perhaps it's not the same guy?

Well, I like quirky NS tunes + I like Johnny Cash (an uncanny likeness!) + I think the backing is tremendous! Reckon I got a bargain

Love it! A quick search on ebay threw up NOTHING! Then straight onto Gemm and managed to bag the only one on offer for $15!!!

The name of the group is actually 'The Lost Soul' and are different to the group on Glasco who are called 'The Lost Souls'

Looks very similar to the one's on some 'Atlantic' 45s?

This has been discussed in depth (almost!) on another thread from last year I think. Me and Pottsy think the Soultown release is a legit copy, mainly because of the stamp (thanks 45cellar) and the different cut of 'LCBM'.

Sure I had it by a US white pop group? Lovin' Spoonful or someone??

'Expedit' from Ikea. About £60 and well worth it!!! This one has 16 'cubes' and in white Or put it on it's side....this one has 8 'cubes' and in dark brown (about £30)

Reckon they are worth having to a collector who only collects UK releases, there's a lot of these that were never released on a UK 45 in the 1960's so it's the first outing on a UK label. I always feel that if you are a genuine UK collector, you should be buying these 45s NOW before they disappear and start to fetch bigger cash. The Johnny Sayles on 'Soul City' 'Tell Me (Where I Stand)' is a previously unissued tune...and a corker! Well worth owning IMHO

A Garage 45? Just an excuse to ask....who's the fit bird in the photo? Nice arse!

Oh Baz! Completely agree with you on the Larks' 'Come Back Baby'...wonderful record! I recently got Bobby Angelle's 'It's Just Gotta Be That way'....what a corker!!

Wearing a Brutus in 1979....

Nothing to worry about mate, they're just not using Paypal's postal service. They will be using the standard US postal service instead.

That's Mr. Crosby for ya!!
