Popular Post Johnlloyd Posted March 23, 2017 Popular Post Share 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.

Popular Post Mick Sway Posted March 23, 2017 Popular Post Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

There's a copy of the Indian Sateside Craig Douglas on Discogs for £33 which seems about the going rate for the Pye too.

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.
