Fred Parris @173? Bargain of the month IMO.

Surprised you guys don‘t know this track. Pretty famous on the continent. Great story to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol

any chance of a sound clip? According to what had been posted here neither producers nor the artist were happy with the recording. I'm very curious to hear why. Just a say 1 min clip would do.

Thanks

Temptones wasn't an Emidisc as such. Track was cut on the blank flip of an authentic US 60s Wilson Pickett acetate. Maybe to give it more authenticity

Do you know what love is came out twice with different flips. and different catalogue numbers. 200 and 201. I understand SP-1 mix is on 200

the YT video seems to be uploaded by a belgian popcorn guy. so we can't be sure they didn't mess around with the tempo and that the song is in fact faster or slower. Considering this I still don't think it's "our" Jimmy James.

I was beta tester for the app. It's great. One of the best. Seriously!

Great compilation. Still very collectable, could easily fetch three figures on the market. I think none of the tracks were released on vinyl before? At least not John Edwards, Art Gentry and Loleatta Holloway

RIP Must admit, I own only one album by her. But what a fantastic record it is. Here's just a few of the tracks on it:

It seems there are card covers in different sizes on the market. The ones with the cut-out on top side that seem to be sold only in the UK are a bit smaller than the ones w/out cut-out that are sold on the continent. You can easily fit standard company/paper sleeves in the "continent" ones. Whereas you have to trim if you use the cut-out covers.

german 45 in EX cond. Best fiver one can spend.

Beware of the lookalike US issue boot! https://www.discogs.com/de/release/7862712-Tony-Colton-And-The-Big-Boss-Band-I-Stand-Accused-Further-On-Down-The-Track

Awful record IMO. But as they say “One man’s Lavern Baker is the other man’s Helen Shapiro”. Or so.

Anyone got #43 on Randy’s list? Rancid Polecat

Not Northern but just an unexpected soul classic: Locker room at the local gym. Background music usually horrible euro trashy house music. Suddenly, without a warning: It's alright - The Impressions. Followed again by horrible euro trashy house music.

Does anyone know how and why Sweet Temptation appeared on the UK Cascade compilation. According to the liner notes, one Lindi Waters compiled the record. Who was/is Lindi Waters? And how did they got hold of the track? Based on the sound quality it wasn't dubbed from tape but from a record.

I'm still an absolute learner when it comes to Lowrider sounds. From what I understand not everything that is slow(er/ish) would fit into the Lowrider drawer. Many classic Northern Soul beat ballads don't. Others do. Which would explain the price increase for many 45s. Imagine not just one but two collectors scenes chasing the same tunes. I'd start with checking out the countless Lowrider comp's these guys did over the years. Many of them are on Discogs. Check the tracklistings and I'm sure you'll get a better understanding.

Lowrider spectrum is much broader than just obscure sweet soul 45s from the 60s and 70s. The whole scene started in the 50s. And just like the Northern Scene, anything that would fit in is/was accepted, even if it wasn't Soul at all. And that would include tracks like like Santo & Johnny - Sleep walk.
