    I prefer the first released take, the Sidra one. As it happens there's a lovely white demo of said tune spinning on my turntable while I type , great double-sider.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the alt take is on all three CD compilations. It happened before that one UK label released a alt take from the master tape and "by miracle" same take appeared again on other compilations.

    The "throat clearing" version rings a bill. I remember it from many many years ago. Way before the Outtasight CD release. Either I had it on mp3 back then or its on the Totally Solid Hitbound (Goldmine) or Northern Soul Years (Joeboy) CD compilation. Sadly I no longer own them. Can anyone confirm it's on one of them or even both?

    User comment from the respective Discogs entry: This is right at the pinnacle of deep Soul music. State-of-the-art. Bit overexcited in my opinion but yes I'd agree to the extent that it's a great deep soul track.

    Check Discogs for more details about the boots.

    At least three different WD boots are out there. But none of them are STERLING stamped.

    Neither can I. What a fantastic tune it is. And much better than the a-side IMO.
  8. Benji
    Understood. Thanks.

    Just played it via youtube vid, didn't know it before. You're spot on. great flip side. I can imagine the lowrider collectors going mad for it if they haven't done already.

    The issue I once had was styrene. Discogs lists two different promos. Both are styrene.
  13. Benji
    Soulettes fantastic but way too fast for dance floor action IMO. Haunting tune.

    Art project by artist Adele Retter. The clue is in the URL. Pretty obvious to me. And well presented. Some of you obviously didn't get that. Must be an age thing

    Didn't know the record shown in the scan (Cherry Slush - I cannot stop you) came out on Prophonics Coconut Groove. I only knew of it as a USA release. It also came out in Germany. I wonder where they licensed it from? USA? Surely not from Prophonics Coconut Groove

    It's a great double-sider. For me Sherilles side wins. What a tune. Gets better with every play.

    as far as I know dimples in the vinyl can have two reasons. Either the stamper was faulty, then all copies would have the very same dimple(s) at the very same spot. Or inferior quality vinyl was used. Then dimples may have resulted from dust or something like that in the hot vinyl. As some of you have fine copies and others haven't I guess second reason is appropriate. On the other hand, if all faulty copies have dimples at the very same spot then there were two presses. One with a matrix from a fine stamper. One with a matrix from a faulty stamper.

    Demos and test pressings of new releases are giving the buyers a fake feeling of exclusiveness IMO.
  21. Benji
    Only tiny little bit similar in parts IMO:
  22. Benji
    Thanks. Didn't know there were orig 12". Only recall the represses from back then.
  23. Benji
    12 inch is the dearlove repress.

    Picked up many bargains on Ebay over the years but there's one that I always remember about 20 years ago. One morning before going to university I logged on Ebay, looked at the 45 listings. There was a french Seven Souls - I still love you, buy-it-now €2, with pic sleeve, listed just 2 min before. Of course I bought it. Turned out seller was living close to me in Munich. Picked it up the same day on my way to a soul do. Sold it same night for €250.
  25. Benji
    I too thought the 45 came with the LP. But it was discussed here on SS not too long ago. There's no documented evidence the 45 was handed out with the LP.
