Recently bought the classic Gary Haines - Keep On Going. Just curious as to what Gary looked like, I really like this song and his voice, but was this Gary Haines :-

Great tune, nice record to own on Sound, big at Wigan for a while.

also a brilliant flip, gospel meets soul

I'm 99% certain the picture above of Gary Haines is indeed the 'Sound' recording artist.

Always had a real soft spot for this 45 and have always felt that a more conventional 'soul' vocal would not have necessarily made for a better record.

I am almost certain now it is the entertainer from Detroit. Sound label is from Detroit also Gary's song is on the The Sound Of Sidra CD. If anyone has this CD is there a photo of Gary?

Pat Brady reckons the boot once sold for £100 on Ebay?

The Gary Haines label has a Nashville address.

This has always bugged me to be honest, I had Dave Hall - Look At Me on an identical label, I'm sure it had the Detroit address though, never knew why Gary Haines had the Nashville one.

You pad thirty quid for the boot?

Probably not Simsy, does the scan of the actual 45 look like a boot? anyway, no point paying silly money buying minters of rare recs in my opinion, minters are for collectors, not people who will be boshing them in and out of sleeves and boxes often, being lugged around. If you come across a minter at the right price fair enough. Lots of rare classics come to surface for reasonable prices. For instance I paid for Ronnie & Robyn Sidra's theme W/D £30, Bobby Treetop Wait Till I Get Ta.. £30, Joannie Sommers Don't Pity Me £30 all found within the year and in the condition thats certainly playable.

I dunno mag. Minters, schminters. It has to do with real or fake?

Some arrive better than others Simsy. Gary haines not arrived yet, but really would not suspect it being a boot.

Sidra's Theme was a bargain;-
