This was in Manships price guide a couple of years ago i think at £1000. Strangely though, it isn't even in the next guide. Only available on the issue and harder to find than the demo, but certainly not anywhere near the first quote. I've never heard this played out but sure would like to hear it cos it's 100% pure northern soul. In my opinion an over looked gem. Tomo

Hello Blake I recorded it. I'll have to compress it so it's email friendly but should still sound OK. PM me your email address and i'll send it to you. "40 records nobodies ever heard show" not quite, i think you'll know most of them.Tomo

Hello Fraser, hope your keeping well. Think i've got the Gene Taylor but bought it for the other side "You got my nose wide open" a strange title but an excellent track. Can't think what the "Don't go away" side is like, i'll have to dig it out and give it a spin. Sounds late 60's or early 70's to me. I haven't seen this listed in a long while. I'd be reluctant to sell it but if you can't get one over the next week or two, get in touch. Regards Tomo

I've had this by The Stereos. Can't remember the label but it was one of those moulded labels like Amy/Mala/Bell stuff. It's been a while since i heard it but this sounds exactly the same version. The same group ? Tomo

The acetate with Hermon Hitson on it is supposedly Nate Adams who recorded on Atlantic. He and Sam Williams both had records produced by Johnny Brantley. Tomo

Jordi, I've got the Leno Phillips, brilliant track and a rare one too. Leno is actually Phillip Leno Wright, Betty Wrights brother. He has another using this name on Dash, think it was the blue Dash label not the yellow one. He also recorded as Phillip Wright on the same label. "Confusion" for me is rarer and better than "Keep her happy" which has just been valued on a previous thread this week at $700. Tomo

Rich, you might find this helpfull for TK / Florida stuff. https://p220.ezboard.com/blimestonelounge Tomo

OK, i'll chip in with my favorite.Aretha Franklin on American Music Awards. https://www.youtube.com/w/Aretha-Franklin-o...o&search=aretha Lenny, it's probably just the download speed. I have a decent connection and it still stutters at first. When the clip starts to play, hit pause and wait a couple of minutes till the shaded bar fills up then it'll play fine. After watching the aretha and levi stubbs clip, and wanting to keep it, i had a look around the web and found this site. https://javimoya.com/blog/download-videos it shows you how to download the file and change the extension then convert it to a realplayer or windows media video. Download Cinemaforge for free, watch the flash animation and your ready. I've downloaded loads of soul clips including most of the soul train stuff. Tomo

Virgil Blanding aka Gil Blanding and Virgil Henry. Changed his name in tribute to his brother Henry Arthur Blanding who died in the vietnam war. Tomo

I've had two Jamaican copys of this. Both had the same cover. A dark cover with white stars and strange shapes.Sorry, can't scan at this moment. I did see one on ebay with the man himself on the front cover.Both are on the "Joe Gibbs" label, "Do this world a favour" also came out in the 90s on an album on "Rocky one". Is your album pressed slightly off center ? I was told they are all like this. Another album worth looking out for is "Soul Reggae" on Water Lily from 1976. Tomo

And here it is. Tomo

Weve gotta find a way back to love - Invictus 1255 (1973) Brilliant ! A cheapie everbody should own. Tomo

Your probably thinking of "A lovely way to die" on french coral. Ep and 45 i think. Tomo

Wasn't it Bob Burton, He sold off his records around the time he was DJ ing at Warrington.I got a few things from him, "Broadway Express" which at the time was a Ben E King C/U. I tried to get the Martha Reeves off him and he said he would never sell it. He didn't have it with him the last time i seen him cos he was in jail doing a long stretch for hijacking. Great DJ was Bob and Warrington Parr Hall one of the best nighters ever. Tomo

Patience Valentine - Waking up to a dream / Longing for you - Thrush 102 Tomo

I searched for this track for ages and then got two within weeks of each other, sold my spare to Paul Mooney for a tenner. It is hard to find but suprised that it reached $250. I think if the ebay auction didn't have a soundbite he wouldn't have got more than $20. Tomo

The b side of Ty Karim's "Keep on doing" on Sheridan House is by "Ty & Towana". Which would suggest they are two different people. Towana Hill also had a track on the same label. I was told Towana is Ty's sister. Tomo

Godz, I got one of these too and your right it's a warning to other collectors about H LOVE, whoever he is ? I'm sure Uwe is a german guy who sends me links to his ebay sales.His ebay name is "bass creator" I must of dealt with him in the past and he's emailed everybody in his address book. Tomo

Allanton at Shotts was a great nighter. Had a memorable 21st birthday there. A record that always reminds me of that night is Tootsie Rollers - Give me love - Me-o. Covered up at the time as Silky Hargreaves i think. Always had a good night north of the border and a trip back is long overdue. Tomo
