    I got a copy of Peps - My love looks good on you/Speak your peace - D-Town 1065 with the rarer MW 689 mix of both sides. VG condition. Any idea of value? Thanks!

    Why should they have had any sales in Germany? Probe/ABC issued it over here in 71 to tie in with the UK reissue. And it didn't sell well. Obviously, because it's a boring record.
  3. Benji
    The record itself is just a demo of the pretty common german release. German 70s Tamla-Motown demos usually came in the respective picture sleeve. The sleeve you have is an in-house one. Not meant to be distributed. Probably EMI archive copy.

    Plenty of copies on Discogs. Try your luck there.

    I know you guys are talking more about the record than the recording. But anyway, I think there was a thread about the background of this record quite a few years back. Wasn't it Cecil Washington himself who posted in it? From what I recall he was/is a reverend. Band was actually Soul Inc (of My Proposal fame). Am I right or am I mixing up things?

    Bobbie was played a lot in Germany in the late 90s. And I heard it again every now and then recently in Munich.

    Little Milton blue-eyed?

    What's the point in comparing these tunes to the ones played in 74?

    Great article. I find Tojos background more fascinating like it was than some famous name moonlightning.

    Great interview. Mel Canady is also active in the local blues club scene here in Munich. I think I saw him live many many years ago but never made the connection to Ruby & Mudflaps back then.

    And in Munich. Great tune.

    I'd say it's not worth 395 quid but to be honest, for something collecting Casino memorabilia this might be a must-have.

    Don't know if it applies to UK labels too, but many german demos were just issues with a "not for sale" (or something similar) stuck on it. Was told reason for that is pretty simple, either they didn't bother to print separate demo labels or they ran out of demos and sent out issues with a sticker instead.
  16. Benji
    Don't know if it's styrene or vinyl. But yes, there is an original issue with that very same design (i.e. no lines) but the original is silver writing on black label.
  17. Benji
    When was the bootleg pressed? And was it done for the UK Soul Scene or the Belgian Popcorn scene? From what I recall the boot had white label/black writing just like the white demo but was missing the line on the label and the "not for sale" etc part.

    Many thanks!

    Hey Chris, any chance of a track list? For the previous vols as well? I'm playing vol3 as I type and the sounds are sure marvelous....
  20. Benji
    Nope, not ok. Album is original. This is a reissue due to demand from the "Rare Soul Collectors Scene". It shall not be played out loud at any public dance. Yours sincerely, Wachtmeister Benji German Soul Police

    Thanks for the info. I guess now it's the people involved in the album that makes it so collectable. Jagger, Oldham, The Nice, Steve Marriott to name a few.
  22. Benji
    No. Also in Germany, Netherlands, Italy.
  23. Benji
    I heard of the "withdrawn" story but to be honest I don't believe it. I checked Discogs, 10 copies sold over the recent years and currently 3 copies for sale. If the album was really withdrawn shouldn't it be rarer? However, as you said, there's probably some demand coming from collectors who are into Stones, Small Faces etc. But, back to one of my initial questions, are there any non-45 tracks on it that justify that demand?

    UK Immediate copy of PP Arnold - First Lady of Immediate went for over €100 on Ebay earlier today. Thought that was quite high before I checked Discogs to see that it usually goes for much more. What's the story about this album? Why is it so expensive? Rare? Any good album-only tracks on it? Or is it of music historical relevance because of the musicians/writers/producers involved? Thanks Benji

    May I use this thread for a simple question coming from a non-english speaking country? WTF are the lyrics about? I don't get it. I think it's an excellent tune. Used to have the UK issue and played it a few times here in Munich for great success. But I never managed to understand what they were actually singing about.....
