Popular Post Johnlloyd Posted March 23, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Been following this thread for for the past few years that it's been running. Even after nearly 50 years of collecting new records are discovered and added to the wants list. I've not posted on this thread before, but I'm going through my collection and adding to Discogs. I came across this by OV Wright - I'm In Your Corner. I have it on a Vocalion Demo. One I'd forgotten about. Edited March 23, 2017 by JohnLloyd 4
Popular Post Mick Sway Posted March 23, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 23, 2017 Well here's one that often slips the radar as being played at The Torch and I think The Cat's. Maybe that reputation is deserved, however what it lacks in quality I reckon it makes up with energy. I'm guessing that the Black Verve issue which I've owned through thick and thin for 45 years (can you believe it? no wonder we're all falling apart) must be rarer than the yellow demo, cos there's lots of the latter on popsike. Anyway, King Davis House Rockers "Baby you satisfy me" Verve (Black) b/w we all make mistakes sometimes (also worth a listen) 5

Popular Post Johnlloyd Posted March 23, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 23, 2017 Another one I'd forgotten about. If I remember correctly from a Globe Records soul pack fro 1972. A well spent 10 quid, about half a weeks wages. Larry Willis - Lickin' Stick 4

Long gone now I'm afraid, but I once owned a copy that I picked up from Cadman's record exchange in Hanley Bus Station. You could swap 10 old records for a chart tune. What I found there, ah those were 't days. Have to make do with the BackTrack compilation LP now. Edited March 23, 2017 by Mick Sway 3
