I'm good John thanks & yes totally tongue in cheek .....it's 125 to you I've not been to the 100 Club, in fact haven't been anywhere since Feb & the Last Solid Hit. Not a conscious decision & i certainly will get back to the 100 club but Soul night wise there doesn't seem much on these days or it's too difficult getting home from. (Guess I'm just getting old ) Think I'd better make more of an effort in 2017 ! All best mate

Bought it as a new uk release in the Lighting centre Petticoat Lane London E1 . Ah memories, also bought loads of new US imports from there including Benny Troy @ 0.75p (I think) How ahead of my time was I ? Razzy ? £100 & it's yours Stubbsie Hope you're well mate long time no see Sorry for jumping on your wants post

mine too although only got mine 9/10 years ago

No i know mate but somebody is trying to as per your link I probably shouldn't have posted on your sales post anyway, sorry

Used to play it at Solid Hit a few years back to very little dance floor action A great record possibly still semi known ? (or maybe not ) ............ but £350 !!!!!!!!!!!! It's a bit of a tough one but 350 ?????

75 quid !!!!!!!!!!! That's just ridiculous

I've had mine since the early 80s & it's version 1, No 3 I don't think I've ever heard before, the vocal is so different ! I don't actually notice any difference with the sax break as mentioned in the discogs listing & not sure that there is any difference re the handclaps. Mick could be right in that version 1 is a slightly "softer" mix but again as Mick says it could just be the recording level on you tube. To my ears & they are old & rather battered but it seems to me that the instrumentation, the girls vocals & the handclaps are all the same & I wonder if Lou simply recorded at least one of the versions singing to the already recorded backing track & his vocal is the only difference ?

Does anybody have results of the auction 24th August please Thanks

Found this fellow on top of a light behind me in a taverna in Corfu, lucky enough to catch him/her feeding on flies etc attracted to the light

Jesus !!!!!!

like the "extended" mix of Epitome of Sound, which is just a bit of guitar added to the beginning. to my ears it just doesn't fit, the first time i listened to it I thought wtf ! The second (& last time ever) I just laughed at how awful it was.

This is now sold. Ellis Pickford & Coffey - Reach Right Out - Cal Mint minus - Recent 100 club play Rare & brilliant. £120 includes next day delivery in UK - Cheque or Paypal Friends please. Thanks for looking

So when did this go up? Went to the post office this morning with a tenner in my pocket for the £7.25 postage on next day delivery. Asked for next day & they said is that next day saturday or next day monday ? What ??????????? Apparently £7.25 now only covers Monday to Friday, if a saturday is involved it is counted as a non working day even though the normal post is delivered on a saturday. So now, after I offered next day delivery free as part of the sale I wasn't able to keep my side of the bargain because i didn't have enough money with me & of course next day monday is actually next day tuesday because of the Bank Holiday. Rant over though still p'd off

how much did the Ronnie Forte go for ? Thanks

As good as it gets (for me anyway)

Or Willie Kendrick ?

Thanks all that's what I thought, same take just a change of name on a different label

Another one on manships auction, funnily enough I was playing the Rivieras version last night while sorting records for Solid Hit tomorrow. Drawn to his auction by the other thread (Fantastic four) I see that he has Proto Jays You Counterfeit Girl & lists it at "So much rarer take". Now by that I'm reading that it's an alternative take (could be me ?) not just a different label with different group but to my ears it's exactly the same. I'm sure this has been done before but can somebody tell me if my ears are failing ? Thanks

You bugger I think when I bought it though, it was still a big tune but definitely uncovered. Wasn't really covered up at Stafford though was it ?

Where is the Lamar label from ? There was a Barons on there as well " A teardrop fell for me"

Manship was selling it on USA well before Stafford (£15 )

Was only certain days of the week as well I think, & your right he could keep talking for ages once he started Sold me a boot once as an original, he apologised but said i could have a refund but he'd never sell me another record or I could leave the money with him as credit against future buys

It was also on Behind a painted smile album on UK Tamla Motown, which I think may have been a repackaged version of On The Rocks as I think it has all of the same tracks but in a different order With Painted Smile first track side one. Not sure what year it was released but I bought it in a big WH Smith sale that they had at London Bridge station either 71 or 72
