Zanetti Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Moin, Does Anybody Know The Owners Of The Named Records? Hope Its OK And One Can Match One Of The Ultra Rare Ones To The Owner. e.g. Never Heard "Arthur Willis & The Soulful Dynamics" ... Can´t Find Anything Not Even a Soundfile ... Does Anyone The Owner? I Guess The Mello Souls Belong To Butch ... But What About the Carl Willinghan Collection? Month Ago There Was A Link To JM ... Apparently Its Deleted! So Would Be Nice If Someone Got Some Ideas Or Knows Some Of The Guys And Their Recs Personally. Thx Zanetti
Quinvy Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I believe JM used a lot of record scans from his auction items. I also heard that he borrowed records from some big collectors to get scans etc. I know for certain that the scans of Paris and Sandy Wynn's on Doc were taken off my 45's that JM auctioned for me years ago. As for "Arthur Willis & The Soulful Dynamics" it's been a big spin for Butch for many years now. Very few copies have ever turned up. It's one of those 45's that grows on you, it's not instant, but I love it and it sounds fantastic played out. I have a rough sound file somewhere. If I can find it I will send it to you. 3

At least 5+ copies of Arthur Willis. Mello Souls is also more than a single copy too 4 and an acetate I think. The link is probably deleted because it is out of date. Edited April 22, 2015 by Steve G
Premium Stuff Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 If it's the book you mean the people who contributed are credited in there. 1
Sebastian Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Assuming you mean "The Hurting Is Over" by Arthur Willis, there's a lo-fi soundclip of it on YouTube: Edited April 22, 2015 by Sebastian 3
KevH Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 There's an Arthur Willis in a collection near me.His mate turned up a Mello Souls a few months back,and they are both local to me. 2

Bigsoulman Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Would lose a kidney for that Arthur Willis 45 1
Zanetti Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Why are you so interested in who owns the records? Yeah ... Thats True! Many People Got Rare Stuff ... But As I Assume The Known People In The Intro Are The "Big Men" Out Of UK. Right? So i Would Like to Know If Poss ...

Pete S Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Think Andy Rix had Arthur Willis first, was discovered in the States (think the finder is on here) and Barry James had something to do with bringing it over. One was found in Blackpool a few years back so I heard.. 1

Zanetti Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 The link is probably deleted because it is out of date. I Know It was A Own Section In JM Online Store ... Maybe Someone Still Have The Overview To Post It!

Zanetti Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 My English Is Not So Brilliant That I Can/Will Talk To An "British Record Guru"
Guest Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 John Manship's "Rarest of the Rare" label scans pages were great...and I'm sure quite a few folk bought records from the net on the strength of them simply being within those pages alone, and without even hearing them! However, it did get a little out of hand and quite a few non rarities appeared on it, thus distilling its relevance and distorting some people's opinions of what was a rarity, let alone valuations. That said, would welcome it back. 3
Steve G Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 My English Is Not So Brilliant That I Can/Will Talk To An "British Record Guru" I am sure plenty on here will be willing to do that. But without sounding funny it might help if you say what your angle is for wanting to talk to British Record Guru - are you a journalist, collector, just curious, a film maker?

Guest manusf3a Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 House burglar? -Could be that bloke with the stripe jumper and black eye mask who is sometimes seen lurking around the stage at nighters.
Steve G Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 House burglar? You Cumbrians are soooooo impolite…. But the thought had crossed my mind 1
NEV Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 That Arthur Willis though, fantastic backing but terrible singer - another emperors new clothes record First time I heard it,I was chatting to someone at lifeline... Quickly made my excuses,put pint on table and got on the dance floor! Didn't know who it was,what it was, never heard anyone discuss it previous... So if that's a definition of " emperors new clothes " i fully understand you 1
Frankie Crocker Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 The book is brilliant and a must for all serious vinyl hounds. The contributors are credited at the front but are ordinary guys who don't seek publicity in the UK or the USA. Several of the records pictured have been sold on via JM auctions. If you want info on a specific record, someone on here may give you brief details. Most of the records featured are hard to obtain and some are almost impossible to acquire so it's worth attending a major venue when the scans' contributors are DJing. Could you tell us which of the records featured in the book you have in your collection?
Arthur Fenn Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Think Andy Rix had Arthur Willis first, was discovered in the States (think the finder is on here) and Barry James had something to do with bringing it over. One was found in Blackpool a few years back so I heard.. Think you'll find it was a Rod Shard discovery from the mid 80's, & guess who bought it then sat on it for a decade or 2 ! ( sadly not me )

One was found in Blackpool a few years back so I heard.. I was at Rob Thomas' house one night and he played it (I thought it was shite imho ) and I'm sure Sam was going to buy it but declined at the price Rob wanted , made me laugh 'cause he just said " well fooking suit yourself somebody else wants it " lol , then bugger me Tom Moulton rings him up , not for Arthur Willis may I say Edited April 22, 2015 by SWIFTY
Dobber Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 is the arthur willis 45 a usa issue,it seems to have a jamaican quality to it? is it a barbados only tune like (richard stoute what bag im in)but sounds like a usa record?
Johnmcc Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Atlanta Georgia isn't it. There's a significant Jamaican Community there. 1

Gene-r Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 That Arthur Willis though, fantastic backing but terrible singer - another emperors new clothes record You mean people have danced naked to it, hoping no one will notice?
Gene-r Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) would say its US ... concerning the typo ... but can be wrong aswell It's on Mars La Tour, a label out of Marietta, Georgia. I think "The Hurting Is Over" was a late 60s ('68 at the earliest) or a very early 70s release, as the copies I've seen are in Stereo. Edited April 23, 2015 by Gene-R
Winsford Soul Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Would lose a kidney for that Arthur Willis 45 Len. Would gladly give up a kidney but not the steak and pie that goes with it mate. Hope your well big man Steve
