Don't think it sounded different because of the way it was recorded. Just checked the iPod, it's on Simon Ms Stafford Modern podcast. It definitely sounds different. Unfortunately my own copy is in the storage room so can 't countercheck but I think my version is a bit heavier on the drums and features a guitar playing along in the background. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Bump. Anyone?

Does anyone know if there are two different versions of The Patches - I'm gonna make this world a better place on Phaxx? Heard it recently on a podcast and it sounded a bit different to the one I have (Phaxx #2002). TIA Benji

Thanks Ged. Shows how taste changes over the years, played the soundfile last night and liked it, wouldn't sell it if I still had it.

Is "Almost eighteen" on a pink label? I remember I used to have a rather obscure one by Honey & The Bees on a pink label which I sold about 10 years ago because I thought it was rather mediocre. Now I'm wondering which track it was ...

Ian, is your record glued in the way I described it? I.e. glue in the run-in/-out area but not in the actual playing area on either side?

I know it's possible to repair a cracked record by applying glue to the crack on the flipside. This results in the flip being unplayable. But what is to do if a record has two good sides and I don't want any of them become unplayable? Is it enough to apply some glue to the crack in the run in/-out area only on both sides? What do you guys think?

Do they have different cat. numbers? I have "Night after night" on Crown Ltd. but never bothered to play the flip... Tony, who's that in your avatar? Just curious, I like those glasses

I have two (or maybe three, can't remember) David Sea albums on Magic City, "night after night" isn't on any of them...

Well guys, better get all those knifes blowtorches, stones, ropes, tar and feather ready. Can't find neither Ron Matlock nor Luther on the shelves. This means at one time I considered both to be not that good and put them in my storage room a few miles down the road. To make up for that crime to quality soul music I played a few Gladys Knight and Maxine Brown tracks last night

Thanks Bearsy! Any idea on Brice Coefield? 50-ish??

Hi, what are the current values for: Brice Coefield - Tempted - Madison DJ Silky Hargreaves - Keep loving me like you do - Dearborn ISSUE TIA Benji

Auctions ending tonight...

Auctions ending Sunday night...

Must dig out the Ron Matlock album tonight. Bought it for "You got the best of me" and never really paid attention to the other tracks. Likewise the Luther album, bought for "Don't want to be your fool" and never played the other tracks. Do I deserve a slap on the wrist now?

I don't think TT is actually CB, tho I recall TT's voice being a bit similar to CB. What's the name of the Chris Bartley album?

Oops, my mistake. Didn't know the Motowm Memories album and a quick Google search only came up with an 80s compilation of that name. Thanks for the info about Carolyn Crawford, didn't know that. And yes, you're right. With tracks like Babs McNeir, "Ghost in my house" etc. it was way before its time. But back to my initial question. Anyone with current values for: The Embers - Burn you a new one - EEE V/A - The Tamla Motown Sound vol.1 - French Tamla-Motown V/A - 20 Great Unknown Soul Classics - Cascade UK (only release for Cressa Watsons "Sweet temptation"??) Thanks for DaveG for the price of Ruby Andrews...

Replied to all PM's, Ebony Keyes sorted. Anyone for the other two? Can the Soul Sourcer who bought Jackie Shane off me a few months ago please get in touch? I want it back
