Platters 81

He doesnt send lists to the forums (work firewall)...some good soul at good prices (my commission ......a pint on Sunday....(if i tell 'im )

yep......£8 all in(IN UK) ..M-......PM me...

re CW,,,,,,at that price it doesnt have to be either......my mate has a nearly mint one he bought from Tim A 15 years ago....he's tempted at the price......(as would anyone with a mortgage and kids )....just a case of copies coming out of the woodwork?

my UK copy has JHYL....All Platinum 9109302..(see scan) .were there 2 issues?

Budgie playing the LP only "just having your love" at Stafford reunion reminded me what a good LP this is....(cheap too!).......also incls their LP only version of "i got the need"....every home should have one

Thanks for the reply and info hilray.......did the LP get a USA release?....the project must have cost a fair bit.....judging by the artwork and musicianship...did Jesse work with other artists ?...a completely self penned album reveals his ability as a songwriter.......attached a scan of back cover of british Anchor LP.......

Ive got this......both sides are covers of two Impressions album tracks.....("The never ending Impressions "ABC LP...(also reissued on UK Kent).....Jimmy James also covered "little boy blue" on the "New Religion" LP....

i remember going to a niter in Scotland ....mid 90ts ?...i think it was on the outskirts of Livingstone (industrial estate)(?)...me....Johnny+Christine Beggs.....Mark Dobson.....young Shute........we stopped at a hotel close to Lanark as it was the only light on at 11.00 pm......i was sent in to scout it out (i had a suit on)......luckily there was a wedding reception in progress.......a few pints of "heavy" put us well in niter mood.......tune that puts me in mind of that night was Shelly Fisher.."girl i love you".........happy days

i seem to remember a british beat version by the Paramounts (Procol Harum)...ive never heard it....(book says Parlophone 64)...wasnt it on that 10" ep release late 80ts?

not super rare.........but ive always hated Fluffy Falana....."my little cottage"

I believe the Impressions 45 "stay close to me" is Portuguese (Buddah i think).....its one of the Impressions holy grails..(like the Coca Cola 45).......i believe Mick Smith had one (but that was 20 years ago).......the nice Spanish 45 is their version of "nothing can stop me" on ABC-Hispavox.......

is the Spread Love track the same song as on the Johnny Taylor 1977 CBS album "Rated Extraordinaire" ?

I got this about 1980...the cover says"A Parliament Records USA Recording"... A good cross-section of funk/midtempo/ballads......what you would expect from a 1977 soul album.....all tunes written by the man himself with good arrangements.......there was obviously some money spent on this...(it says he had a fan club in Hollywood!)...i know this was a very late release on Anchor UK (werent ABC pulling the plug on the UK office?).......so it prob got no promotion.......any info on the artist appreciated ..(he was obviously talented so possibly did other stuff?)....scan of label (with custom origami) attached.......(ive never seen another one btw....but i dont get out much )

they also did a good version of the Spellbinders "For you" (flip of Chain Reaction) on UK Page One (same year 1967).....

ill have to tell Nick M that one........."some other bloke"......i love it.........

"Mighty good way"......Robert Banks.......

flip of "you lie so well"........."a little too lonely".........corrrrrrrrrr

first record was Impressions "Big Sixteen" LP..from Sherwins in Hanley..didnt own a record player at the time.....just used to carry it around with me

ive got a spare mint copy of DG for £30 (incl p+p recorded)......if anyone wants it

ive got a few ska/rocksteady sealed cds lookin for a good home.....pm me if interested.......ETHIOPIANS..."ENGINE 54"......£8 (12 TRACKS)......."GO SKA GO"....£10 (19 STUDIO 1 TRACKS).......LEE PERRY +UPSETTERS "SCRATCH WALKING" £10...(19 TRACKS)........"GEMS FROM TREASURE ISLE".....3 CD SET £15...(CHARLY)......LEE PERRY AND THE UPSETTERS..."ALL THE HITS"......£10..(14 TRACKS)......."TREASURE ISLE MOOD"....£10...(20 TRACKS)........"SKA DOWN JAMAICA"....(13 TRACKS)...£8........"SKANKIN ROUND THE WORLD VOL 3"...12 TRACKS....£8.......LEE PERRY +UPSETTERS....."BASHMENT".....£10 (15 TRACKS).......prices incl p+p UK.........I can scan track details of anything if req......Cheers........

the line i like in the Club Soul Kent LP version of HIO is "come on baby and give me a kiss......come on baby thats just what i miss.....hand it over........".....not on the Wand 45.......

i quite liked the Macc Lads..."sex+beer ,chips +gravy" cassette i still play regularly.....
