looking forward too...sadly didnt knew you were on today(although I am pretty sure you told me) would have loved to listen live, brilliant set list so much for sure....tell me, where would I be able to enjoy you deejaying live...say...around Nov 10th ?

Little Eddie Taylor "I Had A Good Time" Peacock One of the real big classic oldies here and such a great record really, EX- copy, two very light clicks other than that it plays like a minter! ON HOLD Ray Redmond with The Gaylettes "You Say You Love Me / You Don`t Know" Sa-Mo One of the REALLY RARE Detroit labels and 45s. This is my former stock copy which had to go to hospital due to a heat damage on the run in groove. Its been thankfully healed and plays fine now with 2.5 gr weight put on the stylus (the way it should be anyway) No soundclip on youtube and such so please go to Manships Rarest Of The Rare. You just never ever see this up for sale and the book price of 500 UKP doesnt reflect its true rarity IMVHO. Due to condition a real bargain here 300 USD https://www.raresoulm...of-the-rare/R/2 Clara Hardy "You`re Too Jealous / Too Young" Jack Pot EX+ Fabulous early Detroit Soul, appr. some three years before her Tuna release and definitely much rarer! Again due to scarcity no soundfile on youtube and such. Please visit Manship for a sondclip 125 USD https://www.raresoulm...C+CLARA/all/1 Grier Bros. "Weeping Baby All The Time / I Got A Good Woman" Melody Disc M- NORTHERN SOUL. ON HOLD The Tears "She`s Mine" Astronaut M- A real rare early piece of early Detroit group magic. "She`s Mine" is written by Othea George who also sang lead with the Tears, so it must be one of if not the first recording by Othea George. A spare, other than that and I wouldnt be selling. Awesome. 125 USD

I had the blue one too some while ago, tried to give it a spin here and there but soon dropped it because the recording on the blue copy sounded so low-fi...so, anyone witha green copy who can tell about the sound quality on that ?

mind you, the atco rel. sounds terribly disstorted. theres also two other very nice 45s by fred lowery on gay shel, "daddy´s baby" (my fave by him) and "cant get enough of my babys love" ... by the way this is sadly the only gay shel release I am missing if anyone wants to get rid of a copy ,) ?

It does Joel, after I played it at the Southampton Allnighter I had two people coming up the stage to ask me what it was.

Indeed, I have two instrumental Big Bo 45s on Gay Shel plus the fabulous "I`ve Got To Go" I played the great flipside to https://snd.sc/QqFghU on solar radio a month ago. "Well, Get it" used to be a regular spin of mine at such places as the Hideaway and Club Separee here in Berlin some ten plus years ago. Last friday when deejaying together with Callum (who did a great set!) at the Berlin Beat Explosion weekender I gave it a spin again...it sounded so goood!

indeed a great tune. not really under the radar though anymore, its been a a Hip City spin for some time and I even dared to play it at the recent Southampton Allnighter and Manchester European Cultured Festival Northern Soull night in May. Also included on our recent 22nd Annivesary CD in July. I can honestly say all his 45s on Gay Shel are very much worthwhile! Fantastic Texas Soul.

absolutely with you on that one.

so............what is it, and even more interesting HOW good is it ?

RIP Frank Wilson...some hate it, some love it in public, some behind locked doors.Whatever the situation for everyone I am sure Do I Love You will forever be one of the definitions of a whole genre, scene.

early nineties spin over here for me...out of interest when did Hammie hammer (´xcuse ;) this ?

there will definitely be a lot of interest..another one I sold way too early in terms of value.

sorry but no my friend ;)

VJ = 1000 UKP

fair pioint Kev, still if you are going to bid a few hundred dollars (or even thousands) on a certian record you sure would know its story or at least would have done some research prior to placing your bid, wouldnt you ? Having said that I didnt want to sound (too) rude it is just that from day one of ebay I couldnt and still cant get my head around people bidding high sums at the start of an auction. Just like Ted MAssey has pointed out. Especially when in nine out of ten times these early bidders dont participate in said auction any more the nearer it gets to closing time. Auctiopn sniper should be the "secret" advise here...

butch used to play it as a c/up. At our 22nd anniversary weekender in july greg belson aired it on the friday night.."some" people by recognizing the sound of the song from various spots by butch rushed to the decks to see the real identity of said tune ... butch wasnt too amused about it ;) great record indeed. and yet another case where "certain" people did bid said copy up higher and higher only to have completely dissappeared when it came to nail it...dont know what is their motivation to do so. do teh yget a cick from being the high bidder for three hrs on a indemander ? anyway, good for the sellers, bad for the seriously interested dj and/or collector. IMVHO.

...best thing would be if you go for a individual experience anyway, join one of the upcoming big European events such like the upcoming Hamburg Soul Weekender Oct 19- 21st , Ní¼rnberg Soulweekender first weekend in december, Aachen Soulweekender or Bamberg Soulshakers Weekender April/May next year and make up your own mind. I bet if you are not belonging to the Oldies fraternity you wont be dissappointed.

Thanks for mentioning the Hip City. If you wanna know what gets aired currently at the Hip City in Berlin please have a listen to featuring also a handful of tunes form our recent give away CD done for our 22nd Anniversary. Mind you, not everything on soundcloud is an allniter spins of course! To answer the initial question, I think it is fair to say that Soul Injection, Voltaires/Bacone, Waymond Hall, John Harris, Joey irving / Just Us Band, Brother Love, Charlene & The Soul Serenaders, E. Williams/Jimmy Williams, Soul Inc. would be -amongst others- in a current European Niter Spins top ten ...if there would be one ;)

before (belgian) popcorn and R&B sadly had their rendezvous and where still two "scenes" of their own there was a venue in las vegas (late nineties) that used and as far as I am concerned originated the phrase "tittyshakers" to describe their sounds. I used to have a link to their website but have lost it ages ago and am not so sure it still is going on today. Anyway, from that time on (late nineties/start of the 2000s) you could watch the phrase being used more and more up until today where it has become another tag for a music genre some call new breed or R&B and others still call Popcorn. What may have helped to make the name so en vogue was the revival of the whole boheme savage and burlesque thing plus the widening of the tastes of some protagonists of the Rockabilly scene which brought both scenes closer to each other.

i will send you mine ady, no prob. pm me adress again please.

never heard about these labels , can you supply a scan mate ?

in that case just bid less in the future. and no need to thank me, youre welcome. leprosy..you do come along with some really weird thoughts sometimes.
