Yes it's by Myron And E With The Soul Investigators

If you've got one, yes

Got the same yesterday. Not bad is it.

Well I can't really. The 2410 posts I've made on SS have all been a random selection of keys pressed, amazingly, I'm told they have all formed words, and even sentences that other people can understand. Unless of course that the automatic translation service that you use from Romany to English works for people that can't read as well

If you've read the Duke Peacock thread you'll know that Selectasoul sold me a twenty year want; The Duke Peacock book. This was Wednesday last week. I paid by Paypal, and the book was posted Thursday last week. It arrived this morning ! Given that I've had to wait ten days sometimes for records posted airmail, I think five working days, the week before Christmas is an unbelievable performance by both the US and UK posties. Take a bow guys. And thank you again Richard

And mine

Your best bet to get in touch is through Roger Banks (He's on SS) because his wife Jenny, is Sue's sister.

So who was the DJ that sold it to you ?

No need mate. I sent the money off for a copy yesterday. Step forward and take a bow Selectasoul. who ended my twenty year quest to get a copy. Talking of the book Mike mentioned 'The Early Years Of Rhythm & Blues', my copy arrived today, that's fast service for you the week before Christmas. And it looks really good as well, so I shall spend my evening reading it.

Due to the wonderful establishment that Soul Source is.......I can now close this thread because I am a very very happy little bunny tonight due to a fellow member being kind enough to sell me their copy.

Yeah, if you look at the other Duke thread you'll see I know about that one

Yep

Duke Peacock Records: An Illustrated History With Discography by Galen Gart and Roy C. Ames (Paperback - Jun 1989) Has any one got a copy of this book they would like to sell me, or do they know of somewhere I can buy a copy

Hi Jock Yes I have seen the book, Lorraine (?) who used to be Brian Rae's partner showed me the book when it first came out, but I've never seen another, in the flesh so to speak, since. It's got a blue and purple cover with the old Duke logo on it. I've even tried contacting Galen Gart to see if he can obtain a copy for me. He hasn't got any left either. I've been searching for it now for about fifteen years, and as I said earlier was offered a copy at £140, which it looks like it was a bargain, it just seemed a lot then ! Mind you, if I'd got one and discovered I could sell it at $1899, I'd sell it like a shot I wonder if Amazon's system registers the fact that they have sold four or five copies of the other book within a 24 hour period, when I bet they don't normally sell that many a month

Thanks, but it wasn't me that was originally asking for info on Duke, and I've got the copy of 'In The Basement' as well, great read.

Ha ha, It's not the book I was thinking of. There was, about 20 years ago, a book specifically about Duke / Peacock Records which was quite pricey at the time. It was soon out of print, and I've never found a copy since (Well to be honest I was offered a copy at £140 ) Having said that, I haven't got this book either, so I've just bought a copy off Amazon This is the one I thought you were talking about Duke Peacock Records: An Illustrated History With Discography by Galen Gart and Roy C. Ames (Paperback - Jun 1989) Just found a copy on Amazon.com.....it's for sale at $1899.00

You don't want to sell the book do you Mike ? I'll pay a good price for it.

I agree that if there are 100 copies, the price it's currently selling for would appear to be a bit high. But the reason people are still buying is because they want the record and are not prepared to take the risk of there only being 50 copies, and all sold before the price drops considerably, so they buy at above what should be the real market price. Therefore because market demand is still dictating the price, I'm afraid you have to conclude that the price being paid is the real market price.

Never seen one, never met anyone that has one.

The rarest one is the white label demo, which were never made available commercially. I was sent one by the label, but I've never seen another.

If you can explain to me where the Soul in that recording is, I'll accept I'm ignorant, otherwise it's you that is showing your own ignorance through your lack of manners.

That has to be one of the worst pieces of journalism I have ever read. Absolutely terrible !
