I don't. I was just answering the original question.

The "you don't begin to comprehend" bit, that's Paul Simon speaking. It's the exact same part that can be heard on the original Simon & Garfunkel cut (which ofcourse also was released on Columbia and is fantastic). I wouldn't consider Dana Valery's cut to be "soul" in any way.

I'm with you on this one, "Lost Friends" is definitely the better side, just thought it would be easier to sell for the uptempo side.

Couldn't agree more, at least 8 of her 10 Columbia sides are top stuff!

A fantastic deep soul track indeed, but wouldn't it be easier to sell this 45 (on a message board populated with mostly northern soulies) if you advertised it for its flipside, the stomping dancer "I Can't Do It (I Just Can't Leave You)" instead?

Please excuse me, I had just come home from a 13-hour work day when I wrote that (note to self: shouldn't go out on the internet when I'm tired/frustrated/etc...). Sorry if the tone of my reply was a bit harsh. I didn't mean to offend you.

There's no repress/reissue. The ones on the Daptone site are "originals". Bloody hell. It was released a couple of weeks ago! Go here and send them your money: https://www.daptonerecords.com/pages/dap1022.html

While on the G.C. Cameron tip... I personally love "You Need A Change" from the "Rich Love, Poor Love" LP by Syreeta & G.C. Cameron. Nice piece of uplifting 70s soul.

The above was released as Prodigal 0617 and according to https://www.seabear.se/detroit2.htm : "Prodigal was a Detroit label owned by Barney Ales. It was started 1974 and was discontinued in June 1979. Catalog numbers 0611 - 0620 were pre-Motown releases. Numbers 0621 onwards were manufactured and distributed by Motown." "Body Chains" sure is a fantastic hard pounding mid 70s dancer with gritty vocals though.

...but then again... you raved about that unissued Al Williams tune... so...

Someone buy this. It's a great stomping tune, far better than the Capitols version and at £10, being offered at a very decent price. Have a listen:

What?!

No, I did. And I'm quite happy with the outcome to say the least.

I sold a M- stock copy of this on eBay about three months ago for $71.

GREAT tune!

As Christian wrote, the mixing/mastering/pressing of the LP is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone without any kind of "studio skills" could've done it better. Perhaps someone should do a proper remixed/remastered (re)issue of "Don't Take You Love" on a 45 (something for Grapevine perhaps? or Sanctuary as they seems to own the rights to Turbo material) because the sound quality on the original Turbo LP cut isn't impossible to "work with", I've done it and I've managed to get some decent sound quality on it (filtering out about 90% of the bass and upping the mid and treble, then running it through a compressor. The japanese reissue/bootleg sounds the same or even slightly worse than the Turbo LP.

Don't know if it's of any interest, but "Don't Take Your Love" by The New Sound has been legally reissued on a Sanctuary/Castle CD-compilation from 2003 entitled "Flying High - The Modern End Of Northern Soul" and consists of Turbo/Today/Vigor/Colossus/HotWax/Stang/AllPlatinum/etc. material.

Great tune indeed!

Now that is one hell of a magnificent tune. Pounding bang bang bang stuff. Very hypnotic track and kinda proto-house in feel don't you think? I love it!

It wasn't issued as a 45 in the US (...and neither was "Don't Let Love Get You Down" from the same LP which is absolutely bloody amazing - how the hell can they NOT release two of the best tunes on the LP as singles!!?? DLLGYD did get some airplay but played straight from the album which would've decreased its impact). The original release of this tune is the US LP on PIR. The UK 45 is a reissue.

Please believe me, there are original issues of "Laws Of Love" a-plenty on eBay ALL THE TIME and they don't sell for more than £8-£20 (tops!). Now... the misspelled label copies... they do sell for ridiculous amounts of money.

You're recieving lists from awfully greedy dealers. According to Manship: "First issue has a sky blue background label with dark blue lettering. reissue is white label. with blue lettering" First issues are selling on eBay EVERY single week for £10-£15.

It's £10-£15 absolute tops!

Just a couple of hours left on these. Thanks for checking them out.

I disagree. Very poor lead vocal. Annoyingly sped up, he sounds like one of the chipmunks. Sorry, each to their own and all that, but it's Gary US Bonds for me every day of the week.
