Black Nasty - superb!! How can you - also by Jeanne and the Darlings

Overlooked crossover item, I think one of his best: Bobby Patterson "recipe for peace"

There's also a great version of One Step by Madeline Bell. Here's one that Rod sold on me, in the Afflecks Palace stall days, don't think it fetches any-more than a fiver now either. Beverley Hills

This is the important bit: " I PUT MY CLAIM IN EXPECTING TO BE COMPENSATED MY CLAIM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE I HAD NOT PUT THE PACKAGE IN CUSHIONING MATERIAL-EG (A JIFFY BAG) AND WRITTEN RECORDS DO NOT BEND I TOOK IT TO 2 FURTHER LEVELS AND TURNED DOWN BY BOTH. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT THAT COST ME £105 AGAIN IT WAS REJECTED GIVING THE SAME REASONS"

Another one unknown to me until recently> Mavis Staples, from her Mavis LP written by Willie Hutch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8_T5LDYCLA

What a writing & production pedigree. Nice one!

Never heard of before, pardon my ignorance. Nice tune.

Both "changes" and "I Ain't Particular." are great early club tunes.

Circle of Fire: and new to me Ernie Hines;Electrified love

A shot of R 'n B, Albert Williams : I'm In Your Corner b/w Tumblin

The problem seems to have gone away after a re-boot overnight. No response to my email query to e-bay though.

Though I'm sure that it doesn't amount to much, it's nice to know that they're getting something after all these years. Nice one! Mick

The Tempests-Someday-Stardust - continues to be in great demand! Click Here: Not sure that this qualifies as a Comedy Sale (personally, I don't find it funny). What's wrong with buying the LP for half the price? Best Mick

I hope that this means that the appropriate royalties have been paid etc. Regards Mick

Boots have been about since about 1970. The earliest ones that I recall were the Soul Sounds series, followed by Out Of The Past (OOTP). I seem to recall that the guy responsible for the former was locked up for his part in the scam. Though it now seems naive, half the time in the early 1970's I didn't know that I was buying boots. Truth to tell though I have been shocked by the sheer scale of booting on ebay, I am surprised that record companies don't go after them when they're so quick to lock the illegal down loaders up. Arguments have raged for decades over the affect of legit UK issues, there were many articles in Blues & Soul and Echoes in the 70's & 80's relating to this. Personally I have no problem with them as long as the writers and artists estates get their dues, time has proven that it rarely affects the value of originals. Kent, Soul City and Hayley must have done some good on that score. It is time though that the contemporary scammers were hammered. Interesting post. Thanks Mick P.S what is the status of Outta Sight records - is this a legitimate re-issue company, does anyone know?

I wondered if anyone else has experienced difficulties with inputting.editing E-bay sales items. Having just tried to edit an entry, E- Bay is insisting I choose an additional payment method to Paypal for the buying conditions. Like many I have no interest in receiving monies other than by Paypal. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or maybe I've missed something? Thanks Mick

Thanks for the info Rob. Is it available on CD anyone? Thanks Mick

Besides being a lovely crossover tune, its saught after on both the Volt and Paradox issues. Click here, for Posike values. There's also reference to the record in One for auction if you must sell, be honest about the condition though. Regards Mick.

Whilst browsing E-bay I came across : MICKEY McCULLERS motown 45 SAME OLD STORY/WHO YOU GONNA RUN ~VIP 25009 Hear: Never having heard the artist or his version of "who you gonna run to", I wondered if anyone knew anything at the him and whether this version of the Temp's classic is available on a CD? Thanks all. Mick

Have we done this one? Kiki Dee "i'll try something new" , I believe it was unreleased when compiled by EMI's on their budget Kiki Dee, Sounds Superb Motown LP release in the early 70's

I guess that this must have been covered elsewhere, one for the soul police I suppose: The Jesters:

Re Take My Heart 45 Is this a legit re-issue or straight boot? https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140702072749 https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=mary+saxton&x=0&y=0 Thanks Mick

Big hit for Al Johnson, who co-wrote - show tune really, great soul version by Barbara Banks though.
