Pete S Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I like the Philip James Pete.....what's it go for? At one point it was about 125 on Island...100 is more sensible and 75 a good price. The ones on jamaican labels vary wildly but none of them are as hard as the Island one in my opinion.

I'm going to have to presume it, too, Pete, as I can't ever get any of the uploads to play here at Ace (which is why G.L. Crockett is still my last played clip). Never had any problems with the old way of doing it, of course... ...I'll try to listen at home tonight and let you know. Surprised that you didn't post "Baby Love" by the Sensations up today, I'm sure that you must have a copy somewhere! TONE
Jaco Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Fantastic stuff, Pete - it's been a real pleasure listening to this today, and yes, I hope there's a few converts as a result of your efforts, and those of the other posters.

Guest Goldwax Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Great thread with some real soulful stuff - loved listening to all these.

The vocals are very tentative compared to the UK pressing, and the backing voacls from the group are completely different. If I had the "Tech"-nology to do so I'd be happy to post the 'real' one up here. Sadly, I can barely play clips, much less organise them, esp. since 'they' brought this newer method of loading them up in.... TONE
