Definitely forerunner to Gypsy and then James Walsh Gypsy Band. Single is the only outing on Metrobeat, other stuff came out on Garrett, Banger, Twin Town, Soma, Dunwich and Pip. The stuff on Soma and Dunwich was as "Hot Half Dozen" but essentially the same group.Can't help on whether or not it was played out.

Ther's another "unknown artist" on this "label" which appears in John Manship's "Million Dollars of Rare Soul" with the title typed in a similar fashion on the label - "Chairman of the nitty gritty committe". I wonder whether or not the output comes from some form of studio/recording booth where it was possible to just turn up with appropriate equipment etc and lay down some form of track which resulted in a rough pressing. On the other hand I might be talking complete bo***cks. Perhaps JM can add a bit more detail about the one in his book.

It's included on an album "Testify" which is a compilation of tracks from his One-derful recordings. I t doesn't seem to appear in the One-derful singles listings for him, so it looks like it may be LP only or previously un-issued as you say.

No info on whther or not it's been booted. JM's latest guide has it at a ton.

"Sinifesela ukhisimusi omeuhle nonyaka omusha onempumelelo" for all Zulu Soul Sourcers of which there must be plenty! For the Soul Source team my best regards for the festive season and thanks for a great 2006.

Could agree with those already posted particularly Stax, Motown but Okeh would be a truely great gift - just look at the stuff that was put up last week - OK its Tuesday, awesome. Brunswick and Cadet would get a look in too.

Love to be there, mate but we're off on a walking holiday this Christmas to Austria - should be a skiing holiday but there's no f**king snow! Hope you have a great night though.

Auction closed last week - $156k winning bid turned out to be a prank! Currently back on auction with bidders registering beforehand so that references can be checked.

Cheers Andy, will listen at home, can't access Real Player at work.

Info/sound clips please for Vashons - "We'll be together" - Delle Walter Wilson - "Love keeps me crying" - Wand

F*kcing hell Ken, eclectic mix or what? Keep it up man, your'e on your own!

JM's latest £350

Hmm! Popsike shows last sale at $138 May 2006 for the issue. Previous sales all less than $100. $250-300 seems way over the top unless Jerry Osbourne knows something we don't!

The 5102 issue with "There can be a better way" is booked at £750 in JM's latest whereas the demo is at £40. Looks like there was only the one demo with "Paybacks a drag" on both sides

Mind and Matter went for $713 on e-bay in 2005, JM has it booked at £500. El Count Executives on green Gemini went for $1025 in 2005 but only $449 in 2006. Jo Ann Garrett ( a cracking tune) is booked at £200 with JM and appears quite frequently on e-bay but doesn't command a price as high as £200. Perhaps others can advise on high reserves.

The"does that seem right?" quote was based on JM having one at a ton but recent e-bay sales were showing significantly less. Perhaps somewhere in between? I have had no problems with popsike lately, mate.

£30-£40 based on sales via e-bay over last year or so. Does that seem right?

The Forston & Scott track was issued on PZAZZ 012 whilst the Little Willie Faulk track came out on M & H. Both are big ticket items £1000 and £2000 respectively in JM's latest. Any connection known between the lablels/artists?

Bogue, it's in her discography on Forte 1114 with "We need more (but somebody gotta sacrifice) " on the flip, but don't know if what you've got is a boot. It also got a release on Excello 2321.

Don't know about the artist, but for what it's worth, this can be picked up for $8.99 (£4.50) from Dusty Groove America, www.dustygroove.com.

$49 November 2005 on e-bay

The demo in mint condition went for $170 in June on e-bay.

You could try www.motownalumni.com for starters He appears in alist of artists but don't know how to navigate around the site. There is also a link to www.motownmuseum.com which may also help. Youtube has Big Joe Turner and Choker Campbell and His Band

Nice sound Andy, reminds me of something, but can't think what. Is the second half the flip?

Is the flip "Cold heat" which was put out a few years back?
