I've seen some neat overseas releases of Northern records in my time, but this one stunned me when I saw it!!

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4014762267

What's even more amazing is that it didn't even get a UK release!! Anyone know of any others? I can think of a couple more:

DEE DEE SHARP: What Kind Of Lady

FRANK BEVERLY & THE BUTLERS: If That's What You Wanted

Both these were released in Greece on the Top Tunes label (don't think they sold well out there, so was probably an expensive "Gamble" to release them!!).

a yugoslavian (or what ever its called now) local version of looky looky

off top of head

seen a lot of "interesting" south americn releases

how about india ?

how about a jamaican stateside copy of roy roberts "got to have your love" ...

India would be quite interesting; though from experience, their releases look very much like their UK counterparts, particularly the Decca or EMI related releases. But it's also worth bearing in mind that India were also pressing 78s until 1968, so what could be out there on 10" shellac?

The 78 format was mainly for those parts of India who weren't yet connected to electricity, and had to rely on portable wind-up gramophones, also still in production in India until the late '60s. Who knows; maybe an Impresions 78 on Indian HMV? It's possible......

Gene R , the man you should get in touch with is George (Agent Double O Soul) in Australia.

Easily the country with the most amazing rare soul releases was Down Under and he's just about got em all !!!

Absolutely mind blowing Aussie releases!!! Donald Jenkins Didi Noel Metros etc etc

His email address is :

soulaustralia@hotmail.com

How many times have got to say it

all ips are logged

that means guests posting under different ids are easy to spot

do i need say anymore

just in case any misunderstanding on last post

ask "southern star soul" to explain it all

as in why it seems here that himself george oo and the hotmail australia thing are all the same person along with other ids

How very kind of you George (Agent Double R Soul)!! Sadly, I choose to decline your modest offer!!

Gene
