September 13, 201014 yr Very cheap for these days. They were white I think? (not 100% sure) but a cracking record nonetheless.

Must admit it's never been a massive fav of mine, always a bit manic in the chorus' for me, although I do like the verses. PS. good to see ya on Sat. Nev, I take it you got back home alright. Jordi

September 13, 201014 yr This record is the dogs boxxox.Think this is about the third thread that has been started on it.A copy went for $364 last year but I bet a lot of people didnt bid because they never thought that it would not be in reach.A great production and nice use of strings and brass and definately one for the dancers not the giffers.

September 13, 201014 yr Think the Louisville address is a bit mis-leading. A couple of buddys in Louisville, who claim to have or know every Louisville or related record. Say that no one that was involved in the music scene there has ever heard of the group or any of the people involved. These two guys were very much part of the scene there in the 60's and 70's, one was a member of The Heartbreakers.
September 13, 201014 yr The Issue copies are Green. The Demos are White Regarding it not being a Louisville record I can remember Soul Bowl telling the story of how he bought a 100 issue copies out of Vines One Stop in Louisville as part of a load of 180,000 records. Which for some unusual reason the proprietor sold the records for 10 cents a pound (lb) weight. Dave Edited September 13, 201014 yr by Louise

Dave mmmmm 10 cents a pound............ thats how Tats was buying burgers, when we were in Kentucky last month. Must have spent well over 100 dollars! Sean
September 13, 201014 yr Nonetheless just a stunning example of the Marmite music we adore.Yet again,a one-of-it's kind sound since i guess there's nothing like it in any shape,form or plagiarized sample out there. First heard this on Richard Searlings' Cellarfull of Soul radio show back in the 90''s and will always be indebted to Richard for that.One of three 45's i would like to own before i meet my maker!!!!
September 13, 201014 yr Intro = Brilliant Vocal = Brilliant Chorus = Brilliant Middle bit = Brilliant Fade out = Brilliant Even the name DETROiT SOUNDS OF FRICTION is firkin brilliant. imvho Edited September 13, 201014 yr by kelvinx
September 14, 201014 yr It was played at Wigan c/u as Mel Britt.... Only ever remember 1 copy on Soul Bowl for £12.00, I bought it...
September 14, 201014 yr A Poke spin at cleethorpes dayer's ( 78/79) well before wigan as i remember, tho i did play it at my 1 ( & only ) visit behind the decks at the casino circa 1980. Hiya Darren, best, Arthur. Edited September 14, 201014 yr by Arthur Fenn
September 14, 201014 yr I remember at Cleethorpes some ten years ago, John Anderson having a green one for £500.

Indeed it was a previous spin by Poke, but as Poke sold up - Arthur as I do recall, ensured this record did not remain silent throughout the rare modern days, Although between 1984 and during 1986 - DSOF was indeed a much well established modern oldie. Thanks.
