What would you want for it? Sorry I don't have any football cards these days. Best I could do is a postcard of The Marcels singing 'Blue Moon'. But there's no chewing gum with it. Let me know if you're interested. Kev

David Ruffin-Walk away from love- Motown Tops for me The Dells-Stay in my Corner-Cadet Kev

Swopped a picture card of the inside of the Batcave once for a picture card of Ralph Coates. Didn't swop the chewing gum though. Kev

Just to add to the interest. Here's one with a Promo letter I got off Backdoor Kenny a couple of years back. Definite link to Gloria Scott but yes different slant. Sorry No photo. Anyone got one? Holds its own for me. Kev

Thanks John I thought it was a passed auction Kev

Anyone know how much the Alma Faye 7" Promo went for?????? Thanks Kev

I'd have guessed Burnley Got 4 rooms Main Room Gents toilet Ladies toilet Cloakroom .............and a fantastic burger van outside. Kev

Just that I wouldn't want people being put off listening to it and missing a treat. Wish I knew how to post in Refosoul. Might try later.

Boba I think all the unissued Metro tracks are great. Been looking out for a copy of 'We can still make it' for yonks but it seems it has never been pressed. Which is a shame because it's fantastic despite what Pete Smith thinks. Kev

Don't think so Pete. I think it's bloody marvelous with knobs on. But what do I know eh! Kev

Thanks Baz

Hi Baz I have the Metros and Doni Burdick didn't know Nelson Saunders was pressed also. Which track? were they legal issues or boots? Kev

Capitols or Metros

Dickie Pinks, a tiny working mens club where around 12 of us turned up every month for a year, had Karl, and John Atkinson playing their hearts out, but that was no local soul night shite, it was class. Just interested as to what you mean by local shite?

Cheers for that. Shame about their pulled gig at New Century last year. By the way who was Burnley Dave? Was it our Kid or Fergie or another Dave from Burnley. Kev Anyone know if the Soul King release is legal or boot.

I always presumed that at the quality control meeting they would play acetates. If this is true how come the f/w demos got pressed. What was the common practice? Heard that Berry Gordy asked Frank Wilson if he wanted to persue a career with Motown as a writer rather than an artist but was that after DILYIID had passed some sort of quality control? Were there other Tamla/Motown/Soul/Gordy etc songs that got pressed then never gained a release and were trashed? Just curious Kev

May be a later issue I have one and am sure it's red with black writing and small 45 as in the later reissues. Hope that helps Kev

I don't think I've ever had a mint record....and I've got lots of them. These days if I get a vg++ I'm happy Does this term come from banking and refer to having a licence to print money?

Could someone help. I heard the story of a warehouse fire in California burning down or something a batch of records or masters went with it. I heard that amongst them were some early 70's Metros tunes. One was 'What's wrong with your love' which I managed to obtain on Soul King records. Is this a legal release or a boot?. Also I think there was another song from the same session that has a similar backing to Cynthiia & Imaginary Three 'What am I(Without you)' The Metros track is called 'We still have time'. I have the Bianco cd but was wondering if this track was ever released? If so what label? I'd love to track one down. Thanks Kev

Shit beer. and soul artists dying.

Cheers Steve I'll keep an eye out. Got to Dash! Kev

Hi can anyone supply me with any info on Wildflower -'Sugar Baby' on the TK distributed Dash label. Any info-Who were they? Price Issue.or Demo-availability? Thanks Kev
