Sean Hampsey Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Have you not got this Andy? Thought you'd sold it but bought another. Very rare record. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Goldsoul Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 He had it Sean, but sold to me. One of the rarest UK 45's surely. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tank Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Didn't know about this version. Got the Jana on Sound Gems and know about Eddie Carr & Willis Wooten. Are there any others? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
AlanB Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I'm really surprised (but pleased) that this is believed to be rare. I got a copy off UK ebay around 2 years ago. Nobody else bid and I think I paid around just £15 for it. I came across it by chance because I was looking for Willis Wooten at the time. Maybe copies are lurking in non-soul collections.

Andybellwood Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Nice one Alan- the gods were shinning with you on that day. Gutted I missed that one in my extensive search. Does your copy also have the dinked centre? Edited July 1, 2013 by andybellwood Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
AlanB Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Nice one Alan- the gods were shinning with you on that day. Gutted I missed that one in my extensive search. Does your copy also have the dinked centre? Yes, my copy has the dinked centre too. I still have my email copy of the invoice so I could check more about how I got it. My memory had failed me about some bits: it was April 2010, listed on UK ebay as a funk record, and cost just £7.28. I had been looking for Willis Wooten at that time, and bought it just as a substitute. The seller had a website (now defunct) on which he said his main interest was Northern soul. So it seems I was really lucky. Had no idea it was special till I read this thread. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andybellwood Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 five known copies on here and all with dinked centres - is this unusual for Philips uk ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
AlanB Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 five known copies on here and all with dinked centres - is this unusual for Philips uk ? I think from early 70s Phillips UK routinely dinked centres from the paper label releases e.g. the hit re-issues of Love, Love, Love and You're Ready Now were dinked.

Pete S Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 From 68 onwards the large centre holes were the norm, I'd say they are about 80% large and 20% push out, this went on until they started using those awful plastic moulded labels in 1972. As for this record being only 3 copies, come on, UK Philips from 71-72, they're going to be out there, it's just that people didn't know to look for it! They'd have pressed a thousand of these. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Can't find any info either on the artist , Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andybellwood Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Never completely cracked this one , perhaps quickly withdrawn ?

Login Listen to Your Love Is Indescribably Delicious Comments You are looking at one the most obscure British offerings to the Northern Soul collector. Thanks, most probably to Johnny Arthey’s penchant for “Soul” that brought him to guide this Scotchman through a fabulous 1968 Ronnie Baker “Philly” composition that Willis Wooten put onto the Northern Soul map. This version, unlike the Willis Wooten, is frighteningly RARE and carrying all the flare we’ve come to expect from an “Arthey” involvement, as the arranger embroiders a wall of horns with and incessant funky guitar riffs for the rough-coated McDonald vocal to rip into. Powerful and highly creditable British take on a Philadelphia in-demander. If you collect English Soul 45s or you want the rarest possible variations of great Soul dance tunes…let us assure you this 45 is ridiculously challenging to locate… Condition is flawless in every way..

Russ Vickers Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I dont have an issue with Blue or Brown Eyed Soul, but surely it should be at least soulful, for it to be of interest on a soul forum, not just on a British label & rare ?.
