    Loved for the O'Jays riff - but it's a great song in its own right.
  2. Rich B
    This is a great version - who would have guessed we would eventually get to see a clip from a TV show when we were dancing to it back in the 80's? Or that it would turn out to be an artist of aboriginal heritage?

    Fantastic find! How old was Bobby when he did this? He looks really young.

    Great find and thanks for sharing - the track that introduced me, and I'm sure many 'northern' fans, to Betty - and I love just about everything she has ever recorded.
  5. Rich B
    Good find! Sounds to me like a 'live' vocal over a studio backing track- is there an unreleased instrumental out there somewhere?
  6. Rich B
    That is a great find - love this track! Thanks for sharing.

    That is a bit strange isn't it? So I thought I would listen to it on YouTube just to see what it was like - but the copy shown there is on 'Whirlin disc'.... do you think they thought better of it?
  8. Rich B
    Was that version of "Fly Robin, fly" by Masking Sound?
  9. Rich B
    I'm afraid that one doesn't look quite right to me - it also looks like it has had one of those coloured stickers you used to get on records of dubious origin that Selectadisc sold in the 70's. Obviously more than happy to be proved wrong....

    No idea Steve - I don't think it's a particularly helpful comment either, as that clearly wasn't what I meant (well it was clear to me) my intention was to highlight that being nit picky about dates usually isn't helpful. Have a nice easter!
  11. Rich B
    For my part, I don't think it's the date a song is recorded or released that makes it 'crossover' but you just know it when you hear it....

    I have seen a couple alternate takes of the early Levine's stuff on a PYE - disc. I have certainly an alternate instrumental of "Reaching for the best" - a sax replaced the vocals if I remember correctly - but as it was 'out' and past its best when I saw it I didn't invest the 50p the seller wanted! It did have a different artist title too - can't remember what it was though," the Century something or other"?

    My mum used to do a similar thing to me by singing along to tunes like "Put your arms around me" and "At last" when I thought I was listening to 'underground northern soul' - those old folk can be annoying can't they!
  14. Rich B
    No it must have been after me, there were no other names on it when I had it.
  15. Rich B
    I am! Always nice to know where your old tunes end up, I started putting details on the flip side after buying a copy of the Volcanos "False alarm" from Derek Banner where he had very neatly engraved his name etc on there - I stopped putting my address on by '77ish, so I would guess it must be from my first collection.

    I would have thought Dave was first - and to all those people who laughed when I paid £25, well you know!
  17. Rich B
    What about Pat Thompson & Archie Powell - equally rare?
  18. Rich B
    I seem to recall Poke playing it at the Clifton Hall all nighters, '83-84 ish? But I think it was one of those records that was widely played at the time.
  19. Rich B
    Nice, I wonder how many of those were sent over?
  20. Rich B
    Had a Doni Burdick "I have faith" (instr.) b/w Sidney Barnes orch "I hurt on the other side" (instr.) once upon a time. And I think there are still some Black Magic things in the conservatory, Jill Baby Love and a version of "Sugar dumpling" spring to mind...
  21. Rich B
    I missed that thought! If I were a betting man though... Anyone know if they are related?
  22. Rich B
    I don't know how rare it is but that arranger, is it Wayne Henderson from the Crusaders?
  23. Rich B
    Joe Arnolds version was a big Mecca/Wigan/Cleethorpes sound around '76, I would have thought, the Spiral Starecase more Torch?
  24. Rich B
    That looks like the first pressing that appeared via Selectadisc to me Dave.
  25. Rich B
    I have had both, they weren't expensive when I bought them (76/77?) so I assumed it was relatively easy to find.
