hi, i'm looking for: carol & gerri - how can i find the way/on you heartaches look good - mgm joe tex - don't play - checker joe tex - i wanna be free - dial 45 must be at least vg condition. reasonable prices only please please either PM or email me here if you can help... TIA benji

pete, it's a proper white demo. belgian boot looks a bit like the issue.

i used to have the copy that marc mentioned (probably very same 45 as in pete's pic) so i can add: - 45 didn't have a small center originally - it was pressed in the UK and then shipped to Jamaica (got UK EMI matrix no or something similar) - marc, no you didn't trade it for four gents, it was some for other 45 i can't remember right now - sold my copy to hammy but forgot for how much... hope this helps, back to lurksville now....

got a white demo of this, if you want it, just PM me. regards benji

i might be willing to sell my copy, but as i haven't bought for bargain price, i won't flog it for a tenner PM me if you're interested, ok?

4th - lee greenwood affair - dot 45

if i remember correctly it's a blue eyed group on an audio arts acetate. [show off mode ON] i got a a clean good quality mp3 of it somewhere but won't post it here for obvious reasons [show off mode OFF]

for sale three prophets - i think i really love you - together fantastic crossover rarity in EX+ condition, please email me for details benji@metzgerei-sargnagel.de

sounds like linda lloyd "breakaway" on columbia benji

also came out on roulette and a bit cheaper on that label (around 20 quid) for those who missed the copies on sonic. "WDYHTG" features same backing as chuck corby's "please don't go" if i remember correctly (?)

for sale: harry starr - another time another place/step into my world - end (vg++) 150 UKP if interested, drop me a line here benji@metzgerei-sargnagel.de benji

rarely very rarely we do agree, don't we? but here I'm with you christian

good cover up title as it's really chris bartley, only the mix sounds a bit different IMO to the released version on the 'van mccoy & friends' album.

it came out in USA, canada, germany, holland and probably loads of other countries as well, so it shouldn't be that hard to find BTW, the german release on philips is called "well tempered soul", identical cover but superior sound quality, try the ebay, you might be lucky ...

tony middleton's 'paris blues' was produced and partly written by claus ogerman so i'd say it's an original tune, maybe they took the inspiration from the movie? BTW, tony's "to the ends of the earth", that's a cover version of an old nat king cole song ...

i always thought it's infact james sheppard, leadsinger of legendary doo wop outfit shep & the limelites?

it think amanda humphrey's 'power of love' on USA does

anyone out there who could help me with a nice original copy of dean parrish - determination?

after over two years I eventually found the time to update my labelscan site, now with a total no. of well over 4.000 scans of northern and rare soul related 45s, albums, 12", acetates, picture covers, testpressings, etc. click here to spend the next hours looking at exciting pictures if you're running a website please set a link to my site, it surely deserves wider exposure IMO, doesnt it
