Excellent and original version of the Patti Austin tune on Coral.

Val's is much grittier and with an Rn B flavour and deserves some plays.

On US RCA about 30 UK GBP but, in its rarest and most desirable form, namely an Aussie black RCA release you are looking at 100 UK GBP at least !!!

Just wondered why would anyone want an Aussie release as opposed to a US one? Serious question.

I know that there are some Soulies out there who like to collect the odd foreign Soul 45...namely David Flynn spring to mind but I am sure there are loads of others. I recently had a Val Martinez "Pay Day" on ebay and not one bid which had me scratching my head...brill gritty R&B tune..in my book.

This was fetching over £70 for a U.S. copy a few years back.

Probably levelled at about £50 now.

His other, more grittier RCA 45 'Payday' goes for around the £30 mark.

Aussie RCA 45s do look nice, and I'd certainly pay more for an Aussie 45 than a U.S.

Yes I bought a few, I like the unusual labels like Astor - but whats that got to do with it?

I've a blue eyed R&B pop flavoured tune on Astor (with Astor sleeve) by Jimmy Hannan 'You Make Me Happy' if it's any good to you Pete?

Swap for a cheap ska or Northern tune???

Recently bought a Val Martinez blind and was really happy with it, great R&B sound!!

Wasn't "You make me happy" on RCA was it - nice chirpy type tune. Is the Jimmy Hannan the same track??
