I like this!

I would imagine it came out around the same time as "My favourite fantasy", which also got a UK issue. Oh yes you can see that the album is the source for this track on the label. I'll have to wait till tonight to play it though. bloody work!

[Guest]

Sounds good Ken, is that 1978 on the label? Can't make it out from the scan, but if it is then it shuold get a mention in "Soul Harmony" book and having just checked it doesn't. This could mean it's a rare one, or maybe it didn't get released.

Never heard it before, and don't know nothing about it........er not much help then sorry :tomato2:

Cheers Paco

Cheers Paul,reason i ask,somebody asked for the album for 1 trakc,i`m sure this is the trakc,but cant find me LP at the mo`,sure i give the LPa go,i remember one stand out tune,hope its this

Maverikc,glad you like it girl

sitc,you will like it,maybe!!.

Thanks you all for listening.

[Guest Lady Maverick]

Yes it is! It's a shame that Van is only remembered for THE HUSTLE, especially here in the states!

Quite interested in his 60s stuff also!

I'm pretty sure I have an issue of this at home (Memory blank here) - (Speakers not working at mo' at work so can't tell if its same one )

If it is - I got one from Rod Dearlove at Voices a couple of months ago for I think about £8-£10. Absolutley raved over and a great 45.

I`m not a web head,i did have a look,but no pictures of vinyl,so not that bothered,but ive got a few of the tunes in his discography ,and opening with the "hustle" is a bit of a off putter,usually if i post something it streight off pure none bootlegged first issues or demos,vinyl ,not five minutes before ive posted em`.

Sound clips just wind you up if i cant listen to it all,i wont listen at all.

Hi Ken/All

Sorry for late reply - Have been away from the racks! Yes I do have an issue - The black / multi colour MCA. B Side is 'Two Points ' and taken from the My Favourite Fantasy LP. I know Rod at Voices had copies so anyone wanting one should try contacting him. Price wise I think I paid about a tenner but IMO a crackin uplifting track which should garner a few plays. I'll scan my copy and post up later.
