On the Marion Ryan - Better Use Your Head, yes imho it's not anywhere near great as Little Anthony (I personally don't think anyone could ever have topped his performance on this) but plenty of people seem to like the Marion Ryan as I've had plenty dancing to it and coming over to ask what version it is when spun out recently. I know some of you will say its a well known track but whats old to some is new to others. Also I like the Robin Wilson version as well but as this was British..........

Wanted Valadiers - I Found a Girl on Gordy 7013 in Ex or better condition And no I cant afford the UK copy on Manships auction

Here's my offerings Silly Silly Fool by Dusty Springfield and Better Use Your Head by Marion Ryan

Jimmie Steward Jr - Convince Me on Coral. Anyone know if this has ever been played anywhere? just picked up a demo copy the other day and very nice it is nice mid-tempo R&B sound Ta Richard

Paul For Music in Whitechapel, East London is now shut. It's got quite a few mentions in various rare soul books. I used to go in there all the time as a youngster but never picked up anything major myself but did get 1/2 a dozen copies of Messing With My Mind by Clarence Carter a few years back.

As you said it's a good tune

Downtown Soulville's now sold

The Jimmy James - New Religion Lp has a couple of great tracks on it. my faves are the versions of This Heart Of Mine and Gotta Dance To Keep From Cryin'

A few more are on hold so I've updated these

I've got that Sugarman Three Lp, some really good tracks on there. Also saw them live at the Jazz Cafe, was probably about 2000, they were really good. Try here for some really good tunes https://www.daptonerecords.com/ . I especially love the Sharon Jones version of What Condition My Condition Is In. Another great track by her is How Long do I Have to Wait for You? I believe Neil Sugarman now plays with Sharon Jones in The Dap Kings, I'm not sure that the Sugarman Three are still together.

I've got a copy of Nobody Loves A Loser by Karen Sue on a U.A. demo in M- for sale if anyone's interested? It's more of a beat ballad

I was wondering what you guys thought of She's Alright/Tuff Enuff by Otis on Evolution. Does anyone else like either of those?

A few I can think of off the top of my head Share A Little Love With Me (Somebody) - The Monitors Slipping Around - Jimmy Hughes Last Call - Jr Walker Shop Around - Mary Wells Comin Home Baby - Dee Dee Sharp Running Away from Love - Skip Mahoney (much prefer the LP version than the 7") Moving Too Slow - The Exciters Open The Door To Your Heart - Jackie Wilson What More Can A Boy Ask for - The Spinners I Gotta To Dance To Keep From Cryin - Jimmy James & The Vagabonds No One There - Martha Reeves

Ooops, wrong track . I meant Ain't It Funny What Love Can Do is good, not A Thousand Ways (I think A Thousand Ways was sticking in my mind cos it's soooo bad).

On Joe Cuba's LP Bustin Out on Tico there are What A Baby and A Thousand Ways

Just a reminder this is due to finish tomorrow Ta
