Here are the French LP on Soul Records SR LP 1001 (which also came out on Spanish Belter) & Their other French 45 on Decca ("Sad world without you / Just a tear")

Hi Roburt, Here are few missing numbers of French 45's Soul Records label discography : Soul Records SR 2 - Pic & Bill - All I want is you / It's not you Soul records SR 3 - Bruce Channel - Hey baby 1968 / Onley in name Soul records SR 6 - Eddie Floyd - Bye bye baby / Never get enough of your love Soul Records SR 7 - Pic & Bill - Something's wrong with my baby / Talk about love Soul Records SR 8 - Prince Buster - Young gifted and black / The rebel Soul Records SR 10 - Duffy - Rock solid / Tell me Soul Records SR 13 - The Smoke - Jack is back / That's what I want Soul Records SR 14 - The Smoke - Sugarman / Like a good man should Note that Pic & Bill SR 5 "Gonna give it you" is not the version originaly issued on Blue Rock in USA, it's an alternate take (very different) Cheers Romain

Here's the scan, sadly no real infos on label apart GENILA -BMI pub. and song writer.

Ok I'll tell you and scan it tomorrow (as I'm not at home today) I bought this 45 from a funk collector few years ago (not enough "funky" for him)...I didn't know it ...it sounded good (if you like organ mod soul/jazz) cheers

Hi Roburt, I have this Highlighters "Chittlin pot" 45 but with a totally different design (not a blue one) It's an orange label issue with RI in big gothic.letters (with credits...) There's also a part 1 & part 2. I'll scan it and post it if you want Cheers Romain

- Stemmons Express - Woman love thief / Love power (Wand) DJ copy G to VG condition but plays well (clicks-pops here and there...but mainly at the beginning and the end of the tracks, no skips or jumps) clean labels (no writings or tears), see pics...ok for deejaying comes with Wand company sleeve full MP3's of the 2 actual tracks by request £180 - Frankie Seay- All I want is loving you / Baby please (Tropical) EX condition - great & quality Florida Funky soul double sider (small quantities were pressed on this small Miami label) - rarer than people thinks £100 soundclip not from actual 45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phz50Ao0S_c pm if interested free shipping payment by paypal (gift) Thanks for looking Romain

same thing for "Fever" ...different versions, different 45's (50's one 60's one with strings and without), and probably different LP version

Hi all, I found a new old stock of these 2 nice classics double siders with picture sleeves (not so common) records are mint I have 10 copies of Edwin Starr & 4 copies of Four Tops I want £10 each including postage Send me a pm if interested Payment by paypal (gift) Thanks for looking Romain

Hi all, I have 2 copies of this record and after checking the gradings (just before selling one), I recently noticed they had 2 different publishing credits...one with T.M PARMALIER BMI and one with JOBETE PUB. BMI Parmalier has Columbia matrix (ztsc) hand scratched in deadwax, and Jobete has stamped matrix in the deadwax (both are styrene pressings) Any infos on this? which one came first? the rarer one?... Thanks for help Romain

I found this record two times in USA...one near Dearborn (Mi.) in 2008 in a car boot sale, and one in North Carolina in 2010 (don't remember the name of the town but near Winston Salem) in a junk shop...and not from record dealers. I always found the same copy...vinyl, "archer" handwriting in the deadwax... It's hard to believe (for me) these records are boots when you know the places I found it... (Note that these records are for sale or trade, if interested)

Talking about Stevie..."I'd cry" & "everybody needs somebody" (on "I was made to love her" LP) exists as 45's?

It came out on a 60's French 4 tracks EP : STEVIE WONDER A Place In The Sun / Be Cool, Be Calm (And Keep Yourself Together) Thank You Love / Down To Earth TAMLA MOTOWN TMEF 543

I recently found this 45; Tom Jones - Trying to get to my grits / Nothing but fine - Symbol 205 Any info about this artist-record? Thank you Romain

Hi Mick, Good luck for the French Willie Hutch's RCA... I'm French, and in 20 years of collecting, I never saw this record for sale (in flea markets, second hand shops or record fairs...), it's really hard to find...a kind of "holy grail" for French soul collectors...(10 times rarer than Seven Souls, Ray Pollard EP or Garnett Mimms "as long as I have you"...) I only saw a picture of this record, it came out on black rca curved logo (with BIEM logo) apparently without picture sleeve (only with black & red French RCA company sleeve) I finally bought the (rare too) US Dunhill copy in USA 2 years ago... Cheers Romain

Whow...you have all the 56 others Ray Charles french 4 tracks Ep's?...nice! "Mess around" is not so easy to find on 50's original US yellow Atlantic...so the French ep can do it

I've more infos about this movie. My friend & dj Stephane (doc) Yver was behind the musical selection (the secretive)...but he did this 3 years ago!... The movie was already ready for a long time and it went out only recently.

Hi Mike, I'm from France and I've just discovered this movie in your post. There's no promotion for it (apart of few critics in the press)...it's underground, this movie passes in very few cinemas in Paris (so also in France). The lights are at present shot to the Cannes film festival's movies...so there's no really chance for this one to emerge. I'll try to have more infos about music/soundtrack selection...the adviser for the music probably comes from the Northern soul scene (...and we're so little in France) This movie definitively won't be the next "The Artist" (!) Romain

Must be many moons ago...this shop is sadly closed for more than 15 years

Great ad Roburt (I never saw it)...Barclay was the biggest French major company (from his very known founder & the biggest french producer Eddie Barclay...who brought the 45 format in France in 1950, died in 2005)

Bonjour Lorraine, Merci pour le message (I love all of your records & productions) I'll keep you informed if I have more infos from him...(but he's not a close friend and I very rarely meet him), but as I said my previous message, I am almost sure he was not in this project. Romain

Hi Steve, Normally yes. I didn't know just only one record on the 4 issued by Googa Mooga had the correct owners authority to release it.

Yes,you're right Richard I can imagine illegal uses of distribution of someone else's material was probably common in these times (& now too)...really bad & sad for artists

Hi, I'm French (& collector) and in 20 years of collecting I still have not a true answer about Googa Mooga's records. A old french collector told me it was a plan launched by 2 or 3 French soul/R&B fans in the late 60's-early 70's. They had problems to find a major French label...they finally found a very small label called "Hom¨re" which was a tiny label specialised for deaf people (!) & poetry. The BIEM logo on every Googa Mooga labels (and on every French records in the 60's) means that they officially (at the time) declared the records to the French authorities...so these records are definitively not bootlegs. I don't think Gilles Petard was on this plan, but I'll ask him next time I see him. Romain
