Does anyone remember D.P.s Shades of Soul had an article about collecting 45's with some great one liners re excuses etc. for buying records.?

I always seem to bag a 45 iv'e been after for ages spend up for the month then loads of other treasures come along and i don't have the money to get em! FRUSTRATED OF YORKSHIRE

Just played this forgot what a great tune it is b side of Leave those young girls alone

Yeah! totally agree what a great attitude on life,really enjoyed it. Loved seeing Dann Penn & Spooner Oldham they wrote some tremendous songs,also Aaron Neville and what a character Solomon Burke was he put a grin on my face just watching him performing in his oversized throne,and he was enjoying every minute. great nights viewing.

I would presume the yellow label copies came after once the record picked up distribution although not much later? My thoughts also ! Great record Thanks

Sounds good any chance of clips ?

Don't forget if you are not going to an event tonight watch these.

L V Johnson is really great double sider

yep that's the one couldn't recall off hand who it was thanks Pete

Is this track anything to do with Don Davis ( I need my baby riff etc.)

Right This ones been bugging me for years,someone played me this track in probably late eighties and i just sang along to it so i already knew it? but where from i can't remember.The only thing i can think of is that i bought a Motown audio cassette legit issue (never saw it on vinyl though) and it was on that,there was also the instrumental of Marvin Gaye Lucky Lucky me (San Remo Strings ?)and a Martha Reeves track i used to really like, but can't remember for sure. When was this track first played out and where and by who????? and was it ever issued on anything or done by someone else say on an album. I suppose it could have been on a tape swappers tape because i used to have loads.

Does anyone know the definitive story on which was issued first as i don't think it has been answered yet,or have i got Ben Turpin eyes. https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=ben+turpin&hl=en&safe=active&biw=1024&bih=653&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=KWPgNpeejnDRuM:&imgrefurl=https://www.nndb.com/people/183/000205565/&docid=weZH8jmvvcQDfM&imgurl=https://www.nndb.com/people/183/000205565/ben-turpin-1-sized.jpg&w=222&h=301&ei=C1pYT6PrIcim0QXFurG8DQ&zoom=1

don't think it will be as J Gadson and Melvin Dunlap had the flu so Ginger Baker and Paul Kossoff stood in !!! :D :D

When has Kegsy ever talked twaddle...!!! ....oooherr maybe sometimes late at an all nighter. Have to agree though re his original choices,when i first started chasing soul 7" most wants were on Stateside or London American .
