Platters 81

not much additional info i'm afraid....altho a groove jazzy instrumental of the standard.....presumably the Tips were the vocal group.....

not many groups get a contemporary tribute 45 to them .(and covered)..the Impressions were one...some dodgy goings on re the writing credits ...flip of the Fantastics is real good "That one"...can anyone scan the Copa issue?

also ...the version on the Darlene Love "Masters" 1981 Phil Spector LP is a diff mix..(no girly backing)...)

........another urban myth confirmed....

scan of West Coast styrene issue "starry design"...delta 62983...white stuff due to crappy scanner...

the LP could be the Volume 2 "i found a love" .8006...this is vol 1 "your so fine" FLICK 8005..

£450...pretty much minto....

couple from me....Talmadge Armstrong Spindletop DJ.....Soul Stirrers on Jewel...(not particularly rare on issue but i havent seen this white label one (DJ?) elsewhere.....(mind you i dont get out much these days)....

the other sides good too "so in love".....arent the Manhattans on backing vocals on this 45?

SENSATIONS WILD "LOVE SOMEBODY LOVE SOMEONE " US RAM £40 M- JIMMY BEAUMONT "CAMERA" US MAY £25 VG++ DELL VIKINGS "FINGER POPPIN' WOMAN" US FEE BEE £75 M- SOUL STIRRERS "TRYING TO BE YOUR FRIEND" US JEWEL £30 EX JERRY MOORE "HIGH HEMLINES" US COLUMBIA DJ £75 EX MAXIMILIAN "THE SNAKE" US BIGTOP DJ £25 EX p+p £2-00 First class UK....£3-00 Europe...everywhere else ask......would prefer cheque in UK...can do paypal but will add a bit........PM me if interested....Cheers Jim B

after a particilarly inebriate record session.....i tripped over a chair and landed flat on my back ...banged my head ...hurt my back......in one hand i had a Seven Souls demo...in the other Four Perfections on Partytime...which i held in the air...refusing to break the fall...

Shufflers DJ...great vocal........

huh huh

i met John Hilyard in LA in 1987....i'd been given the address by Blondie......a quick phone call and we arranged a visit.....after a tortuous journey via 2 buses from Anaheim( the bus driver advised me not to get off at 5th and Olive- very hairy) i arrived to find a red indian sunning himself by the garage door...on entrance to the house i noticed the bath -well used and crawling (of which more later ) ...there were 45s everywhere...piles on the floor ....loads in racks...(he said.."John Anderson has been thru those"..)..he regaled me with stories about acquiring 45s / collectors/ LA soul....as i was riffling thru 45s.....i find a Sam Fletcher Tollie demo......"if ever Eddie Jefferson catches up with Soussan".......then two Orlons "Envy " issues..."Barry Waddington was one of the first UK collectors to contact me"....then a couple of Astors "Twilight Zone"...."ive had quite a few Danny Monday issues"......and so on.."make sure you get back before dark if your travelling by bus"...so i settled up using Amex Travellers cheques....which JH was very dubious about....but reluctantly accepted as he knew a Chinese guy who would change them......when i got back to the UK ...Tim Ashibende told me he slept overnight in that bath.....now THATS suffering for your art

transferred to the correct thread

as i remember it was the instr which was the played side...be careful of the demos.....i bought one that had the vocal on both sides.....(isnt that Mike Terry on sax?)

Dave is an excellent DJ...great on the mike........plays good oldies....and trys to slip in the odd tune that is underrated/ignored.........

quite a hard one these days......

and Alder Ray......super dancer

i'm gradually selling Dave Alcocks LP collection.for his family..when i came across this...can't be many of these..vinyl is NM..cover is EX..but for some sno-pake on the back...£50 +p+p.(£3 uk..£4 europe £5 everywhere else)..Ta...

Deon Jackson played by Nick Marshall in TOTW oldies room .off the LP......great version

if you lend a biro to anybody...tie it to your wrist with strong twine.....

placed an order to satisfy my current pop craze Pete.........

ive always wondered if the Stax Epsilons got the name via Richard Spencer of the Winstons (tenor sax/vocal ) remembering it (previously in the Four Kays on Shrine)....they were both assoc with Arthur Conley/Otis Redding backing bands at the time........Jim (Sherlock ) Bates....

arent they all boots.....via S Soussan 70ts tape
