i think that just sums it up about eric mercury 100%. even fully agree with the bit about brenda holloway. if EM doesnt drag you on the dancefloor you're probably dead

no, you're wrong. the messiest is robbie lawson - burning sensation but lonely girl comes as a close 2nd

via a mate i have access to a yellow label original that might be for sale if the price is right, what are you willing to pay? PM me if you like ...

both original issues (pink and yellow labels) have "gotta strange feeling" on the flip, the instrumental is only on the flip of the pressing...

Once Mark is sorted, I'd like to be the next in the queue

you can see from the picture the record is styrene, i.e. a bootleg...

I find US sellers to be the worst, with UK sellers coming in a close 2nd

it does look right IMO, there are two different label variations, this is one of them...

thanks for your help guys! just pm'd bob for a copy of mike cotton, it seems kenny roberts is out of my record budget but if anyone got a vg copy, no center, labels damaged. i'd be happy to take that off you as long as it plays fine

mike cotton sound - soul serenade kenny roberts - run like the devil heard these two recently on a british soul CD, quite like them, first one good cover, 2nd one 100 mph stomper, bit cheesy but catchy if you know what i mean can anyone give me more info about them? like label, price, availability, etc.? TIA benji

some tracks i used as enders over the years: little anthony - hurt so bad george freeman - down and out lil' willie west - don't be ashamed to cry esther philips - just say goodbye dee dee warwick - i can't go back and currently for our bi-weekly 6Ts/mod night: bob mcfadden - the beat generation OR small faces - tin soldier

pm'd you too

hm, now that's an idea. even if i'm about 15 years late no, seriously. never thought of doing something like that and never will. i'm always honest and expect everybody else to be too. maybe that's the reason why i get so upset about minor things like people trying to get parts of their ebay fees back via a "small raise" in p&p?

the first record i really splashed out on was an unplayed black issue of tony galla - in love. couldn't sleep for days until it arrived one sunny morning, opened the parcel (shaking with anticipation) and dropped the record seconds after it was out of its sleeve. cracked into several pieces, one of them the entire label w/out any grooves around it. still got that piece somewhere...

it sure is good but why is it "the better version"? they're 100% identical!

another bump, i ain't giving up just to make it clear, i don't need it in M/M- condition, it can play with the odd crackle or two. but the sound quality must be fine, my own copy plays with distortion so i don't need another copy like that. and i can't be bothered about condition of the label... TIA

another bump, i'm still after a copy that plays ok. was offered a copy but for whatever reason seller stopped replying to my PMs???

i probably got it all wrong, but didn't gloria barnes a cover of tommy ridgley "my love is getting stronger"??? seem to remember i got it on CD somehwere....

also came out legally on german vogue with a nice picture sleeve ...

SH*T! TOO LATE

giving this just a little bump. obviously it's easier to find a 1.000 quid rarity on here than an old club classic

do you mean the album that rob and chris marriott did? i'm only aware of volume 1, it says on the inlay vol.2 due to come out soon but it never happened, did it? on-topic: "love starved heart" is not on volume 1, "lonely lover" is the marvin gaye track on it

desperately needed to replace my VG copy: little johnny taylor - zig zag lightning - UK or US release (whatever comes cheaper ) vinyl must be mint-ish or at least EX w/out any sound distortion, don't care about condition of label please PM me... TIA benji

joe salamone aka joseph salamone is a notorious belgian scum bag, he's doing this for years and years w/out getting caught. i'd say do not buy from any belgian seller on or outside ebay unless he/she is recommended by someone trustworthy. your mates pretty lucky that he paid via paypal. he better try to get his money back as soon as possible, i wouldn't be surprised if the paypal account is cancelled by salamone and any money withdrawn within the next few days!

i don't like looking at pictures of my soul related tatto that much because it reminds me of that ever growing beer belly i promised the wife to get rid of by the end of 2007 but anyway, here it is:
