I know this mails a bit vague (bit like myself really) but if anyone can help that would be great. Many thanx Janio

Millie Jackson - 'House For Sale', I'd have thought (?)

Millie Jackson was released twice, once as a double A sider and once with There You Are on the other side

Absolutely right....House for Sale- from the 1976 LP "Free and in love"

Released as a 7" on Spring records and is still available at about £ 8-10, It was the last time I saw it !!

Have a Gorilla !!

a almost dead brain cell mutters something bout used to be two versions, one with a "almost stars on 45" style backing, beat to the front

to be honest can't remeber which was which when hear it nowadays

theres also a slow version by (I think) first choice on one of their flips

any other versions?

First Choice did do a version on their LP I think and Connie Laverne also recorded a track House For Sale, not sure if one and the same tho'.

Also available on Kent CD, CDKEND 151, The Soul Of Spring, bloody good compilation worth a tenner of anyones money.
