Any copies of either would be greatfully accepted I think the Ike Strong is better, but not because it's rarer, just doesn't sound so 'electronic' if you know what I mean? (more "deep funk" probably! )

Originals I've seen for sale over the last few years have been between £30 & £40

£133

It definatley on 7" as I have one somewhere. I think it might be their first single on ATCO because I've got the LP which I seem to remember is called "Circle of Love". I've read somewhere that LDYGTNCOM was their 3rd single, but I've no idea what the ''second'' single might be, if indeed it does exist. Anyway, apprently all their singles bombed and so Nile Rodgers was asked to write something for them by one of the Atlantic A&R bods. On asking what they were like, he was told their a great bunch of girl, there are 'like family'. And as they say in a corny American accent the rest is history "Sistyer Sledge and We Are Family"

You might be able get them up still over the phone; it's in the second pinned topic in Tools & Tackle - For thos without audio "Just saw a post that reminded me of a feature that is still up and running Its a phone number that may be handy for those without audio pc features Phone this number place phone to speaker and play loud the service records the "sound" and then emails it to me as a mp3 i press a button or two and its up on the forum for the whole world to listen, comment, discuss or even slag down number is 07005981873 or international 447005981873 cost is something like 30 odd pence a min (off top of me head last time looked) usefull ??"

Everything is there but the actual vocal i.e. instrumental plus backing singers

Perhaps you need to visit a clinical psychologist and discuss ‘reward systems’ and Nietzsche’s “will to power” :-) Why do people put on soul nights? Some for profit (carrot) some for kudos (carrot), some to DJ and get pleasure from playing records they personally like (carrot), some to help address their need to “spread the word” (carrot). The problem comes when to the ‘stick’ reaches to same level as the ‘carrot’ or indeed, more. Granted, there may be the odd psychopath who gets pleasure from sitting at home setting fire to £20 notes as they spin their sounds, but for most sane people there comes a point where their losses (time, money etc) out way any benefits. Parallel to the human, emotional side of things is the basic premise of the economics of “supply & demand”; if people want an evening of the standard oldies format they will pursue it with their cash, travelling & attendances. Vis-Â -vis, if there’s no demand for new, alternative, underplayed, obscure, whatever you want to call the stuff, people will not be interested even if you went around their house with a mobile disco and set up shop in their kitchen! For what ever reason you decide to continue with your soul night, perhaps you should think about exactly what the market is and your recompense (whatever that might be) is? Anyway, the market Cleethorpes, Prestatyn etc, is a shrinking one, just depends on the speed of exponential decay, that can’t increase, despite people desire to repeat the event every weekend. The ultimate outcome might be as bizarre as a do where there’s just you and your best mates (SS member, of course!)

I always thought it was " shut(ing) up shop"

choo choo train - little Lisa (Miller) is a long time fav of mine and worth buying it just for that track!

Did 120 Chris Jackson - 'Since there no doubt' ever get an official comp (CD) outing from the master tapes?

7" version of Lucky Man

Derek Take it back and swap for the beer and crisps! https://www.disco-disco.com/labels/salsoul.html

Not brilliant quality, but I hope it's OK for you

Alway been "a £3 quid record" and I should think you can still pick one up for a fiver or so. Also, buy "Oh Darlin", blind if need be, about the same price and as good if not better. Their best is "girl I need you too" on the album and 12" (no 7" release?)

Jay & the Shufflers - Always be mine - Crackerjack? Well it does go "ta ta.......ta ta ....ta" !

Pete, with the recent upgrade by Mike there's a few problems, I get about six seconds, and that's it.

A sticky brown envelope on a bit of string with 'Padington' written on it. On the back it says "if undelivered please return to Lou "Thrice" Pride C/O Mr K Darge, Top of the Grot, Stafford, Darkest Peru"!!

For sale one duffle coat, one careful owner except for a small marmalade stain. Will deliver for free around Paddington station area, London Also, for sale, one stuffed and mounted small Peruvian bear complete with bright red Wellington boots

"Never too much".........

That is the full length song as far as I know, same time as the instrumental I have anyway. Here's a less full version you might find of interest..
