Looking forward to that!

Which, mediocre as it is, sold for $30+.

It might be good, you never know. There surely must be SOME reason, apart from rarity, that it's valued at £500.

The East Coast Rivieras have released several 45s on Metro, a label out of Charlotte, North Carolina. I've heard another 45 by them on Metro called "We Can Build A Love" and it's typical late-80s beach with a half-decent intro but then degenerates into a schmalzy mess with bland vocals. Sounds a bit like Andy Williams trying to sing a tune by The Catalinas. I haven't heard the tunes you mention though. Some scans of their different 45s:

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. And even for those of you who aren't interested in buying anything it should make for about 50 and 45 minutes (respectively) of nice listening.

£409

The later Canyon and Maple issues of this tune (as The Chosen Few) seems to sell for £50-£75 at the moment. The Crown Four issue seems to be rarer, but the sound quality is not as punchy as on the Canyon and Maple issues. On the other hand, the flipside on the Crown Four release is another dancer which has had northern soul scene plays in the past as well. As for value, I don't know.

As far as I know... Original vinyl copies shall have F-2622 stamped in the deadwax and a stamped H on 180 degrees opposite. The styrene originals shall have delta #66879. The vinyl bootlegs have the matrix numbers scratched in.

Probably would be a good idea to state which of there are originals and which are reissues. I'll take Screaming Joe Neal if it's an original.

Perhaps it's down to which version you started to love first? I heard the cymbals/etc. version first and I feel that the earlier one sounds a bit "empty". Oh well...

Eh... £2.50 should cover it. Can give you £3 to be on the safe side! Let me know.

"Hey Joyce" has been in-demand by (primarily) funk and hiphop people ever since DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist included it in their "Brainfreeze" mix from 1999. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfreeze_%28album%29

Nice to see that it at least exists. I only have the promo and I really like "I'll Give You A Ride". Any chance of a soundclip of the b-side?

I didn't want to offend you with the "most people" comment. I'll PM you know when I put the acetate on eBay. My name is Sebastian by the way. Christian is another guy from Sweden who's also active on this forum.

Well, I guess you need a bank account and some sort of credit card. I thought most people had a bank account these days? I don't know if I'll get more than £30 for that acetate, but I might and I might not, and it's a hard piece to put a price on seeing what an oddball item it is. Can't you ask some friend to bid for you when there is some eBay item you're interested in?

I very rarely sell anything set sale. I used to do set sale lists but people seldom bought anything even though my prices were sensible, so I decided that it was a waste of time and started using eBay instead. It works great for me and I sell a lot more than I did when I used to do set sale lists. Why can't you use eBay? I haven't sold the "Footsee" acetate yet, but it'll go on eBay within a week or so.

For those who might be interested but have mised it, I've put Kiki Dee's german version of "I'm Gonna Run Away From You" on eBay: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=230154262553 Thanks for looking!

Definitely check out Barney Hoskyns book "Say It One Time for the Broken Hearted - The Country Side of Southern Soul". I really recommend it if you're into the "country" side of soul, there's LOADS out there. Southern soul and country are very closely linked together. Here's the book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Say-One-Time-Broke...3967&sr=8-1 As for Roy Roberts Experience, I really like his "You Move Me" on HOUSE OF THE FOX.

Keep in mind that there is a reissue of that Millionaires 45 (with a beveled edge on the vinyl as opposed to a flat edge on the original copies). I've been told that it was made for the vocal group market. The original flat edged copies are quite rare.

Here you go: Ben_E._King___Where_s_The_Girl___ATCO.mp3 Ben E. King recorded loads of non-hits goodies throughout the 60s.

Yes, two different versions issued about three years apart: Little Willie John - I'm Shakin' / Cottage For Sale - KING 5342 (1960) Little Willie John - I'm Shakin' / Person To Person - KING 5823 (1963) I agree with the above, the 1963 issue with "Person To Person" on the flip is in my opinion the best one and also the take which was comped on Kent's fabulous "King New Breed R&B" CD. The two RAs of "I'm Shakin'" on SoulClub are of the KING 5823 version: https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Little_Will...Shakin'.ram https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Little_Will...39;m_Shakin.ram Here is the earlier 5342 version (the "non jazz cymbals" one): https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/sounds/exists...itle=I_M_SHAKIN_ Superb tune!!!

It is Kiki Dee actually. It's the b-side on her rare Fontana Germany 45 with german language versions of two of her tunes.

Sorry for drifting off-topic... but if anyone has got a cheap copy of the Liz Verdi 45 for sale, please let me know. I don't mind if the "Think It Over" side is unplayable as long as the flipside plays great. Thanks in advance.
