Currently massively in-demand issue only B side from 1979. Linda Clifford "I can't let this good thing get away" (RSO RS 937) Derek https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191667750553?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Keep missing the UK based copies on Ebay and there's no point paying the postage from the states when it's only a £5 record tops. Junior Parker "Ain't gonna be no cutting loose" (Blue Rock 4080) NOW SORTED Must be in Excellent condition please. A white demo would be nice. PM's please. Derek

Depends on which version of Porgy Williams "Lonely Man's Hum" you're after - the silver label (Sylves PW-100) 45 from 1975 commands a much higher price than the dark blue release (Sylves 123) release date unknown. Can't be more specific with values - sorry. Derek Re The Bonnevilles 45 it's the superb group harmony flip "I'll Be Right There" which wins it for me.

1. CHARLES CONRAD with SOUL BROS INC “Isn’t It Amazing / You Got The Love” (Shandy 4001) £15 Clean labels; Excellent minus vinyl (looks like a small edge split has had a tiny hole drilled into it to stop it splitting further.

Very large intake of breathe indeed. I nearly couldn't look. Over the years I've heard of similar horrific incidents thankfully they're pretty rare. Deliberate scratching of records must be the epitome of a messy divorce eh? The only way he could've got out of that with the least amount of damage is if she scratched the wrong side in error. If she did both - it's game over. Derek

Must admit a Vee Jay white demo of this 45 truly is something wonderful to look at. It doesn't turn up that often either. Derek

Anybody out there got a copy of Jimmy Jones "I Want Action" (Twinight 130) to shift? NOW SORTED I'll gladly give it a new home - willing to pay up to £30 if in Excellent nick. Clean labels prefered. A white demo would be nice. PM to discuss. Ta. Derek

Ever wondered if you spend too much time looking for records? Well if you can close this page without even a glance at the photos then it's time to think about a new hobby. Go on you know you want to. The lure of curiosity is so very, very strong for people like us. I'll just have a quick look through. If I don't find owt after half an hour I'll stop. Etc Etc Etc Etc Etc. Derek

Just stumbled on this post whilst wandering about on the web - I sorta half smiled and half gasped.... Oh and no need to ring the company up to enquire I've just got off the phone from them after a very nice chat indeed (smile). Watch out for some new sales very shortly. Derek x I quote "we still have a handful of NOS store stock of that release, and others on the BW Inc label. Anytime the record company I work for... gets down to a "handful" of copies, we tend not to sell them". https://recordcollectorsguild.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=455

Wasn't at all surprised when you said you had both versions - it's what I expected from an old vinyl hound like you..... Also I'm with you in thinking Charles does it better than Mister Hutch. Nice bit of marketing (smile). Derek

WILLIE HUTCH I’m Gonna Stay / Get Ready For The Get Down (Tamla Motown TSM-NP64211) Italian only 45 released with picture sleeve in 1974. Charles Drain released a superb version of the top side in 1976 and is well known by modern soul fans across the world; however what is least known is this original version from 2 years earlier by the writer of the song Willie Hutch. Taken off his album ‘The Mark Of The Beast’ it was only ever released (as far as I know) - anywhere in the world – on a 7” single tucked away on the B side of this rather stunning looking Italian Tamla Motown 45. Almost certainly selling next to nothing on release this helped seal its fate as a future obscurity.‘Get Ready For The Get Down’ made the R&B charts in America early 1975 but used a different flip side. Timed at 4:03 on the label (which I suspect is the running time of the album version) I play checked it at 3:10.
