About 1 day left on these auctions!

I just did an A/B comparison and made a file with the Hott Ice track in the left speaker and the Chain Reaction track in the right speaker and made them start at the same time. They sound exactly the same.

As far as I can hear, the Hott Ice and Chain Reaction releases of "Search For Tomorrow" on BLUE WAVE are the exact same recordings. The "Dance Freaks" side of the Hott Ice 45 was also recorded by Chain Reaction in a very different (and in my opinion superior) version as "Dance Freak" on a 12" on the SOUND OF NEW YORK CITY, USA label.

I hope it will be back online soon, but until then old versions of that website can be found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080208140656/...recordings.com/

Don't think there is a "going rate" as such for this record. Manship auctioned a copy a couple of months ago and got £347 for it. I sold a copy for £125 about a year ago. People living in Italy will without doubt have much more luck finding copies of this 45 than people outside of Italy...

It's only available as a 7" on that italian release. In the US it was only issued on her "Explosion!" LP on Alston (#4402). NOTE that she also recorded a later different version of this tune on another Alston LP (#4410, "Betty Travelin' In The Wright Circle").

Every now and then I put together a mix of sounds I like a lot and play at Club Function, a club night which I organize once per month together with my friends Helena, Jonte and Joppe in my hometown of Malmo, Sweden. Below you will find my eight and latest mix.

"Very Last Drop" is mentioned in a PRELUDE discography as having been issued on a US 45 as: Bobby Thurston - Very Last Drop / Is Something Wrong With You - PRELUDE 8027 But I've never seen a copy of that combination of sides. I actually think it's a misprint, because all copies of PRELUDE 8027 that I've found have had this combination of tunes: Bobby Thurston - I Really Didn't Mean It / Is Something Wrong With You - PRELUDE 8027 "I Really Didn't Mean It" is ofcourse a good tune as well, so that's not too bad. The flipside of the UK Epic release, "Life Is What You Make It", wasn't issued on 7" in the US.

Yes, I was at the premiere here in Sweden. A very good documentary and well worth watching.

The identity of the singer for this tune has never been confirmed. Sounds a bit like King Coleman to me, but "mispressed Tommy Andre 'One More Try' on BROADWAY" is what I call it... The real "One More Try" tune by Tommy Andre sounds NOTHING like this.

This is F.J. Jones "Put It On The Line Girl" on the PS label. Superb tune.

It's a US recording and it was issued on a 7" in the US on Capitol in 1974. Both mono/stereo demos and regular issues were released but it seems to be a very rare record. I've got a copy but it's not for sale. Mark Capanni indeed wrote the tune but the Jackson Sisters version was issued first (in 1973).

A very rare funk record at a seriously decent price, but you probably should put up "part 2" instead as it has got more punch to it and doesn't have the wind/earthquake sounds.

If you'd like to have classic UK style brown envelope mailers, then these are very good value for money in my opinion: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=360135659517 £36.98 for 100 mailers and 200 cardboard stiffeners including shipping within Europe. Or you can order from their own homepage, it usually pushes down the shipping price a bit: https://www.soundswholesaleltd.co.uk/acatal...STIFFENERS.html They have those Bags Unlimited style mailers as well: https://www.soundswholesaleltd.co.uk/acatal...S_FREE_DEL.html

The original TURBO release of this LP sounds bad as well (heavily distorted bass, muffled sound etc.), so I guess that it was during the mastering/mixing of the original masters that something went wrong. As often seemed to happen with ALL PLATINUM related material...

2406 - Reuben Bell - What's Happening To The World / Don't Give No More

That Construction tune is pure sunshine pop/soft rock. Sounds like it could've been the follow-up to The Sundowners "Always You" or something with heavy Curt Boettcher/Roger Nichols/Paul Williams involvement. Great tune!

That seems very cheap indeed!

Was sorting through some stuff and came across a DJ copy of: Don Varner - I Can If You Can / That's All Right - HOUSE OF ORANGE 2404 Two good sides. "I Can If You Can" is a steady 4/4 uptempo tune and "That's All Right" is more on the funky side of things with weird echo effects etc. It's not in Manship's guide and I can't say that I've seen many copies for sale over the years. So... very rare, or just not mentioned a lot? Any ideas?

Hard to make out the titles from that photo, but it looks like the following are in that lot and they should all be sell-able: 7 Dwarfs - Stop Girl - IDEAL Barrett Strong - Make Up Your Mind - TOLLIE Big Maybelle - 96 Tears - ROJAC Danny White - Keep My Woman Home - ATLAS Ohio Untouchables - I'm Tired - LUPINE Prince And Princess - Ready, Steady, Go - BELL

Unreleased as far as I know. The original acetate sold about a week ago on eBay for $1500: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=310132749639

With 653 being 20 numbers before the 1982 release of 674...doesn't that at least put "Take Me To The River" as being released in 1980-ish? I'm trying to come up with why they decided to put an otherwise LP-only track out as a 7", apart from the fact that Talking Heads had a high charting version of it in 1978/1979.

Ah OK, thanks for clearing that up. It did give me the pleasure of having an image of Berry Gordy listening to "More Songs About Buildings And Food" in my head for a while...
