"My Love (Is So Strong)" is supposed to have been included on an LP called "The Answer" but I haven't ever seen a copy of it. There's another (early 80s) LP by her on Flaming Arrow though which is quite easy to find. To confuse things further, there is also a spoken word LP on Flaming Arrow by the "other" Angela Davis.

Only about 5-6 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking!

I've put together two MP3-mixes featuring tracks from my current auctions for those of you who don't have the time to dig through all of the eBay listings.

Have you cleaned the vinyl after it went horrible looking? It might help, I don't know.

His early effort "She's Alright" (issued on the TRANS WORLD and FINER ARTS labels) is superb, and his frantic version of "Shout Bamalama" is another winner.

One theory is that radio DJs didn't want to or wasn't allowed to play let's say 15 records from the same label during an hour, but if they were on different labels - i.e. VIP/Tamla/Soul/Miracle/Motown/Gordy or Duke/Pecock or Chess/Cadet/Checker - it wouldn't be as obvious by just reading a playlist that the records came from the same sources.

Only about 4-5 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking! :-)

It wasn't issued in the US (at least no copy has ever turned up). Only came out in the UK on JayBoy, and it seems to go for £75-£100+ at the moment.

Their duet "You're The Boss" on Atlantic is very nice and in a "Fever" type of groove. Seems to be popular with the new breed r&b and popcorn crowds.

Does anyone have any suggestions on record stores, bars, clubs, restaurants etc. to visit when in Warsaw? I'll be spending a couple of days there in a few weeks time.

I just dug around a bit and came up with: PALOS 1200 - Fenton Robinson - I Believe / Somebody (Loan Me A Dime) PALOS 1201 - Little Oscar - Empty Bottles / Suicide Blues PALOS 1204 - Billy McGregor - I've Got It / We've Been In Love Much Too Long PALOS 1204 - Lee Shot Williams - I'm In Love / The Millionaire PALOS 1207 - Mighty Joe Young - Easier Said Than Done / ? PALOS 1207 - Lee Shot Williams - Mark My Words / ? PALOS 1208 - Josephine Taylor - Depend On Me / ? PALOS 1208 - Ricky Hodges - Save Me / ? PALOS 2021 - Phil Lowman & The Equitables - My Baby's Missing / We Found Our Baby PALOS 6104 - Phil Lowman - Rock Me Til' I Want No More / Saving My Love For You PALOS 312/10733 - Phil Lowman - Rock Me Til' I Want No More / ? Slightly confusing! The Lee Shot Williams releases have got different label layout compared to the Little Oscar, Fenton Robinson, Phil Lowman and Billy McGregor releases. A different label or just messy numbering system...?

The sleevenotes to the CD doesn't mention anything like that, but you never know. Would surprise me though.

Some additions: LPs: DEVAKI 4401 - Truth - Coming Home DEVAKI 30003 - Dunn & Bruce Street - Official business 12"s: DEVAKI 401 - Truth - Coming Home / International Dancing DEVAKI 426 - Bootsy Reynolds & The Reynolds Brothers - Reynolds Rap / Eenie Meenie DEVAKI 902 (promo) - Dunn & Bruce Street - Shout For Joy / If You Come With Me DEVAKI 902 (issue) - Dunn & Bruce Street - Shout For Joy / Yearnin' & Burnin' There seems to be different flipsides on issue/promo copies of 902.

My opinion is 100% opposite. The version on Age is a superb piece of gritty, rocking r&b in my opinion. It's the Tam-Boo version which is dodgy and it sounds like a joke compared to the Age version. Oh well.

My thoughts exactly.

I've put together an MP3-mix featuring tracks from my current auctions for those of you who don't have the time to dig through all of the eBay listings.

I agree with everything written above. Nice to see "Wait A Minute" get a 7" release. An absolute monster of a track!

I prefer the 7" of Allan Harris. It has got lower volume, but not much when I compared them by recording them to a WAV file one after the other before I flogged my 12" copy. The 12" is much longer and seeing as "Get Ready" starts to get boring after about 3 minutes the 7" suits me fine! Each to their own etc.

... and effective guitar lines!

I think you are on about two different 45s. "Come Back Home" and "Coming Home" are different records.

7 days ago I sold a stunning M- copy of this on UK Rio for £101 on eBay.

Must say that I'm very surprised to see that James Fountain hasn't sold already. £250 is a very decent price. It surely doesn't come up for sale often these days.
