Funnily enough i have heard Part 2 played out the last few times i have heard it.

Is this the good version? i.e I have heard it freat track but told that thew demo is a different take. What i am trying to say is this demo orr issue

I'd say about upto '72. therefore a modern soul classic

that could have been Ady's 'newie' that he got off Al. He looked a tad dissapointed when we told him what we thought Or that very over rated Masquarders 'How big is big' (incoming!)

Ditto Shane! And by luck I was talking to a friend on Saturday who has a spare he is going to dig out and give me

And Ady was not wrong! It was a real humdinger and then some! The full report (adapted from a post on sscdt) of the weekends antics follows:- Friday we went to JesiccKakaka's house leaving party. She lives in a flat that was once a Bryant and May match factory. Quite striking it was. I took my new plastic beaker with secure top and straw from which I drank my wine and larger (I can not be trusted with glasses) On Saturday we went to Carla and Steve's to see baby (beauty btw) and then onto the 100 Club. Trickster was guest DJ and he did himself proud. Though top DJ of the night was awarded to Mick Smith for getting Mandy and Janine on the floor doing some rather splendid back drops and kicks I bought a glass of larger upon arrival at 1.30 and Ady Lupton commented on how it was unfair that I had a proper glass glass and everyone else had to have plastic glasses (commented, close to tears rather), I told him it was because I can be trusted. I still had the same glass with about an inch of the same larger left in the bottom, which I intended to finish, until about 6.30 when it left the table and smashed on the floor (I can not be trusted with glasses) As is customary, we were the last ones to leave the Club A most excellent 100 Club; great atmosphere and a brilliant time Sunday we left Starbucks and went to Ady Lupton's house where we chilled with a nice glass of vodka and orange while Ady played us all his records. Then, in the early evening we went to the Sunday Snug, run in Filthy McNastys pub by Andy BB and BD Kenny. Fantastic time with a great 'back drop' of soul music while fun and games ensued. Most of us won prizes, though Ady Croasdell won the most prizes due to his ability to drink Guinness quicker than anyone else. Backdoor kept setting his bingo card on fire and Ben Summers didn't win any prizes because he's a cheat and a loser (he was caught red-handed on the phone to John Weston trying to solve the soul quiz clues; all to no avail any way as he was disqualified and Abbott/Snow got 100%) . The evening finished with a somewhat heated discussion on what to include on a potential new CD release - working title "Yes these have been Played at Northern Soul Nights. Yes they are Utter Shite". The Selection Board of Croasdell, Abbott, Snow, Brown, Backdoor, Summers and BB could, in the time available, only decide on two 45's to include - 'Scratchy' and another which can not be disclosed at present. It is hoped to get this released under the Kent/Ace label, but talks are expected to last for some time..... And of course we were the last to leave the pub Another brilliant time was had The late addition of Nick Brown to the Selection Board was rather fortunate as we did not have a clue where we were (ok it was London somewhere) and he escorted us safely home A most excellent weekend

Sure i played this during the day at one of last years Brighton alldayers - only sure mind you, it was a while ago....

spose it could have been the chip butty I got from the on-site shite-shop. When i got back to the room it was cod in a bap!!

He's cut it off a Japanese LP "from Birmingham to Atlanta" with added girl vocals. Makes a nice change IMO. Hey, if something is available on LP, is it acceptable to play it off an acetate and not spin the original vinyl format -LP?. I'll get me coat LOL

If its unreleased. Yes imo. I know Ady doesnt have a problem for unissued stuff out on Kent cd's to be cut - long as he hasnt/or had a single planned of it

You could give the prize to the record dealer that is the most organised? I hardly looked through any boxes last year. I bought 2 records i think for £15 off Ben Summers, but as I spent a lot of the weekend behind his boxes it was quite easy to look through, but only looked through about 100 of them. And a few of Rob Messrs records, and thats cos he was next to Ben and it was easy..... On late Sunday afternoon the panic set in that I hadnt looked through any boxes or bought much i walked upto a box arm out stretched and ready to start looking... but I got there and just couldnt be arsed...

Bannana Slimfast is MY favourite Fair enough getting back to the chalet, but you have to find your way out of the building first!! At a certain time most entrancies/exits are closed and last year I took a 'funy turn' and needed out but couldnt find the way - which really did my head in! I had to get someone to show me the way out. Luckily I wasn't really sick till i made the back door. Well not much

Was an official limited quantity single issued, by Sony and Levine carried the number of the single on from the last Okeh single which was issued. Think 3 singles were done in total. Sony got rid (that is probably not the correct term!) of Ebony Alleyne and the album was as you say in the can.

I loves dancing to R&B, hop-skippity-hop ;-)

Totally agree with you. You lessie

What does any one think of putting talc on the floors of garages, sheds and kennels? I hate it. it should be banned!! Winnie :-)

I know people who have had this years who bought it for "inside story" which i beleive was played out first. I didnt try is still the cum side though ;-)

Go and look at something else he has sold on ebay https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=5551535903 Look at the description then check the winners ID. PML

I did not know the dealers name becuase I found it through another site who act as a 'shop front' for various dealers. Now that the name is mentioned I am sure i tried to order something from there a few years ago. Out of stock of course LOL I do not understand the guys philosphy of leaving stuff on his list that he hasnt had for years and by his own admission has a slim chance that he will have again. It clearly pisses him off and us off. I wont bother asking him again if he has a record. Waste of fackin time. And Pete - get your hair cut mate.

I have given the Shades of Blue "Happiness" a few spins out. Great tune :-)

I am sure we have all stumbled across websites and thought "wow hit the jackpot here", then after a couple of milliseconds you think, "hang on this site must be really old" - but you still hope. So i came across one of these sites on Sunday night it had hundreds of 45s mainly not soul listed; each letter having one or two pages. I started at 'V' (dunno why) and came across both big Vanguards 45's and the Vellours on issue. All at $8 each. I stopped there deciding that this was too good to be true and decided to enquire before searching all the pages. Good job too. The dealers reply follows. LOL. He's one pissed off person. My reaction is to tell him to take the fackers off his list, stop wasting peoples time, revalue them, get a life or drop dead. Or a simple 'no i havent got them' will have done. Havent replied yet though. All suggestions welcome ////// Dear Sir, thank you for your interest in ordering 45s from our catalog. However i'm afraid that the items you are looking for are currently out of stock. Actually, they've been out of stock for quite a while. Were it up to me, i'd delete them from our files. Why? Simple. The items you are interested in are items that there is a LITERAL WORLD of demand for. That is, the many degrees of "soul". Northern soul, Southern soul, Carribean-beat soul, popvocalist soul, White soul, latin jazz soul, folk/jazz ballads, early funk, and pre-disco. To be frank, we prety much stink at this stuff. Hardly a day goes by where I don't get a big multi-page want list that has Jimmy Radcliffe, Adams Apples, 1619 BAB, Terry *&%$#@!!ing Callier, Teddy Randazzo, Betty Lavette, Bettye Swann, Apostles, Apollas, etc, etc, et al, ad nauseam. Whenever I get one of these lists, I just take out my red pen and mark out the items that, due to incessant demands for, I KNOW that they are OUT OF STOCK. I don't want to sound mean about it, it's just that the demand WAY outstrips the supply! We just don't have it! I would Love to delete most of these from our files, but since there's always a chance that they could show back up (a chance that gets slimmer and slimmer with every passing moment) we do NOT delete listings. Plus, quite a few of you out there are shoppers through the atrocity known as GEMM. GEMM will list all of our stock as being "in stock" and everything will be in "mint to m- condition". Which leads to a LOT of on-line panic buying. That is misleading. We do NOT keep a "running track" of our 45s inventory. If we did, we'd have a lot fewer orders. And i'd have a lot fewer complaints form customers as to "why do you have these listed if you don't have them in stock?" Well, that would make MY life a lot easier. But until then, if you must try from us please give us at LEAST 2 months between tries, as we are constantly getting stock in, but it takes a while to get it processed and up on the shelves. However, if you're still looking for that "soul" stuff, be prepared for a letdown, as I have NOT seen much of it returning to our business....If I EVER see any more requests for that Roy Hamilton ballads stuff, it'll be TOO soon. Sorry about all this, but I figure honesty is the best policy (unlike GEMM) and perhaps you may find a place where this soul stuff is predominant. Unfortunately, that place is not here. Oh yes, every month or so, we will add tuitles to our catalog. When we do that, GEMM will say that we've re-stocked. THAT DOES NOT MEAN EVERYTHING HAS COME BACK IN STOCK!!! Every time we restock and GEMM customers find out, whammo! More of the same. If Pavlov were alive today, he wouldn't need dogs. All he'd have to do is log on thru GEMM!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your time, sorry about your order. Charlie* (*i'm the guy that gets to pull all of the orders that come through the internet! yay.)

No, not quite. "I didnt try" is definitely the cum side

The other side "i know the inside story" is great too :-)
