Etta James "I'm so glad" Cadet 5552 DJ Ex condition £15. P&P extra. Paypal +4% is fine. Off list replies please to D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk Review by Andy Dyson printed in 'Shades Of Soul' issue 32 from June 2006. Etta James - I'm so glad / I prefer you - Cadet You know there's always something to come along in our hobby that makes you scratch yer head and think bloody hell I thought I'd got all hers/his releases. A long time pal in the USA sends a half dozen of this never played dancer (I think) to me, so me checks me Etta James section and there it isn't. So on it goes, immediately "I'm so glad" is one of my favourite Etta 45's - pounding drums, brass the breaks and the powerhouse voice that Etta was blessed with how can folk listen to the standard top few oldies again and again with reasonably easy tunes like this to play? Obviously there are other versions of this Radiants etc.. but this is certainly standout for my unprofessional opinion - rather nice flip version too. Probably worth £50 a few quid either way but yes pick it up! Etta_James.mp3

Joe Perkins "Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep" Nugget 1029 Joe_Perkins.mp3 The title sorta gives it away doesn't it - you know this record wasn't made to encourage dancing of the happy kind at weekends.

Off list replies please to D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk What a funky looking little label Nugget was - Joe was release 1029 anybody got anything else on this tiny label based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee?

Since this interesting thread started I've been trying to think of an unusual record find of mine to add but couldn't. Then I remembered many years ago, 10 perhaps, having a Sunday afternoon walk with the dog in a lovely village called East Morton which is about 10 miles north of Bradford. We came across this old antique shop (more like a junk shop masquerading as antiques but that's another story) and called in, after pottering about downstairs I went upstairs for another mooch about. There on the floor propped up against a table was a small handfull of albums, 3 or 4 at the most, second one in Sam Dees "Show must go on" Atlantic. How bizarre eh? Of course you pull it out of the sleeve expecting it to be battered but it was stone mint. Flogged it for £40 in the end and no I didn't give it to charity. derek

erm possibly not Blake - see scan attached. Trust you and Nicky are well. Hope to see you two about somewhere, derek
