Of course it's not Detroit. From what Joerg told me it's just the place he found it. The Val Simpson acetates demos I've heard so far were all pretty sparse and by far not as full production as this one here. I agree, it doesn't sound finished but it's close. Maybe some strings and more horns? The more you guys say the Crystals the more I tend to agree with you. I look forward to what conclusion Ady's Girl Group experts come.

This applies only to previously unissued things. A 2013 7" release of a 1968 LP track isn't OVO.

I seriously challenge everyone to prove that Stardust was a legitimate label.

Not that I know of. I understand blank acetate. I'll ask Joerg.

So, do you agree it's the Apollas?

my friend Joerg Puresoulie found this in Detroit, "I want a guarantee", uncredited 7" acetate. Same tune as Maxine Brown. I know there's also a songwriters demo acetate by Val Simpson but from what I remember that one is very sparse. My bet it's the Apollas, what do you think? 45 sec clip here: 14 Female Soul.wav

7" and 12" are the same version.

So, looks like it's one the top 5 marmite records? I despised it when I heard it the first time (was on tape) and never rated it much ever since. Well, one day I heard it at a do and it blew me away. Great record when played out...

Or get wider card board sleeves. The ones I buy over here in Germany are just a tad larger than the cut out ones usually sold in the UK. a usual size paper sleeve fits in easily.

gone now. just curious, how much was it?

I got all but #22, #26 is the last one I got.

Great clip! I remember, 10 years ago many across the board club nights like OSE started all over continental europe. Don't think any of them lasted as long as Oslo.

Here's another one. Classic Northern, sh*t rare, still not widely known (probably because most of the "top jocks" haven't got a copy) Billy Harner - I've got to check you out

I disagree, overpriced IMO. Yet not as overpriced as many other records on his auction.

I remember Richard Domar had a white test press for sale for years. No takers, probably because it was quite expensive (250 or so).

????? Did I miss something? Thought you already had an offer of 500?

Yes, same bloke.
