Chris! you been away too long!

....And to think I eventually sold mine for £35 8 years ago, great record, does anyone know who did the Motown version?

I've got it Lydia Pense & the New Invaders-"I'll Forgive You Then Forget You" Invader 403, can't do sound files-sorry, the backing is very good though

It's on Duke records, fairly common, but, overpriced should be able to pick it up for less than £100.

Those "Crowns" are from Chicago on Vee-Jay, nice tune.

You need therapy

Steve Smith's copy was the green/blue issue it came off Soul Bowl £25 mind you that was 1990ish

How much for the mint one?

Cheers K, didn't spot that oops! smacked wrists

Simply one of the best ever double-siders to have been played! Glad I shelled out £200 for it!, then nearly had a heart attack as I dropped it in the street and managed to catch it on my foot! phew!!

No one's mentioned that Lee Andrews "Quiet As It's Kept" release on Lost-Nite, is a totally different version to the released version on RCA and not available anywhere else?

Thanks Gene, know I've got one knocking about somewhere that I got off Ion back at the Carved Red Lion.

What does it go for?

It seemed like a lot of money at the time

Sad news indeed!

Another great one, nice one Chunky boy Jet says Hi

Yes, first came out on Lupine backed with "Things Will Be Better"

If Gareth says it's good, it must be. By the way hi-jacked again!

Best foot down record.......ever......... ............ ............ Little Johnny Hamilton "Oh How I Love You" try it Top Gear

I thought it was a £50 record, used to be hard to shift.

Sorry to hi-jack your post, but... I've noticed I've got the 3 posts and trying to get 'm all, ha-ha-ha, are there any 60's examples of this kind?, maybe some of those oddball Spanish EP's? Sorry Robin as you were.

on Do De Re, with "Gino Is A Puppet" on the other side which came out on at least 4 labels including Ric-Tic and Son-Bert (though not with the inst.), played a lot upstairs at Stafford by George Sharp, if I'm not mistaken? boring as instrumentals go, even if you're off your head!

I am saddened to hear this news, one of the true unsung heros of the soul scene, a phrase often over-used; not in this case. I would say that it was probably "Peace Loving Man" that first made me aware of the vast gulf between the polished sound of Motown Detroit and the less sucessful but, none the less musically distinguished sound of the second string players of the motortown, from "Welfare Cheese" on I don't think I ever found a record of his I was disapointed with. A couple of years back when the Detroit Historical Society had tracked him down and got him involved, I had hoped I would finally get to see him perform, sadly this is not to be the case.
