Some nice tracks there but looking for b-sides of big charted records.

Well i've just learnt today that i shouldn't overlook a million seller b-side. Arthur Conleys "Sweet Soul Music" has "Let's Go Steady" on the flip and it came up random on my Itunes. I thought this is great, i need to look for one. It sounded familiar to something else then I realised it's just about the same as Willie Hutch's "Let's Try It Over Again" on RCA. I know Brenton Woods hit "Gimme Little Sign" has a good b-side also. Anymore suprisingly good B-sides of hits ?

I remember seeing them at an allnighter at Notts Palais around late 80's. They had replacement members i think, they were very average and we couldn't wait to get back to the DJ.

Nice collection, is there a 136 ? Discogs lists one but the wrong picture (130) was uploaded then removed. I can't find one online anywhere.

JB was doing his Rhythm & Blues / Soul songs for years and you could hear the changes coming to songs that became a new and different genre. I think the real syncopated Funk that shaped things to come came from "Out Of Sight" .

James Brown - Out Of Sight - Smash (1964)

The Willie Hobbs is higher than i thought. I had issue and demo, sold the issue on here and kept the demo. An extra two minutes of your wife getting killed in a car crash on your wedding day is a bit too much. South African 45 has the long version too. Willie Hobbs is a great artist, i think i've had all his records. On a side note his song "Where Did I Go Wrong" on the same label is on 3 different CD's and they all follow each other by wrongly playing the Jackie Beavers version.

Thanks Chalky, i have this tape somewhere. Touched up your image so i can print it out.

Thanks go to Dylan for getting it, not me. I just put the video up.

Nice one, never heard it before.

Barbara And Brenda - Don't Wait Up For Me Mama - Dynamo I thought my record had a defect at 52 seconds in where there's a thud sound. It seems it's on all copies whether styrene issues, demos or vinyl press. Even the Goldmine CD "Treasure Chest Of Northern Soul" has it. Is it at the recording session, a bump to the mic or something dropped ? 55 seconds in on this video.

Sounds similar to Lou Rawls Philadelphia tracks of late 70s. Quite a few albums to check but maybe a starting point. He did a lot of things with spoken parts, like this .........

Mal, there's some issues of "Don't Be Afraid" that play "I Want To Be Where You Are" on the b-side but they are mislabeled. I used to own one.

I've upgraded twice on Billy Stewart, they both have label issues. One on the left is VG and the one on right is VG+ but slightly off centre with spider attached to fix. They play about the same, like a clean VG+ with no issues. Send me a PM if interested.

Maureen Evans - Searching For Home - CBS UK Not Northern but a very nice beat ballad, her last recording that didn't come out on any other format.

Bobby McClure - You Bring Out The Love In Me - Island Would love to know how this great Chicago artist ended up as a UK b-side to a white group, no credits printed on the label to go off. Same backing as Love Affair on U.A.

The song is a cover of a Four Tops track that's on their first album.

First couple that i thought of was Buddy Lamp "My Tears" or Benny Latimore - "Rain From The Sky"

I have a copy of the mispress, it plays "My Baby's So Good" on side A and an unknown track on B-side. Record is Mint-, label has BB hole and biro X. £250 plus post.

This is a great site for sleeves. https://sleeves.bigboppa.co.uk/index.html The owner of the original site was called Erling, he sadly passed away and it's internet domain was lost. Then some collectors got it up and running again, way too important to let this stuff disappear. Thanks Erling and the new hosts of the site.

I didn't know, I followed the link from it's Discogs page. I needed to play it a few times to pick up it's a slightly different take.

Ralph Jackson - I Can't Leave Your Love Alone - Rajac NM £950

Got an Ex+ issue for £12 plus post.
