I've paid for tracking so fingers crossed Whole business is a pain in the neck!
-
Yes, that is a selectable option. However, I may be better off arranging to go and collect it in person - I wouldn’t want it getting lost... that would be exceptionally bad luck.
-
It has crossed my mind, but I have no choice but to take what he says at face value. I don’t think that I have to refund before I receive the record back in any case. I could always opt to go and collect it instead.
-
Thanks anyway, but John might have better things to do I guess. Catalogue number on label says 2004, but that isn't the date of my 45.
-
Interesting, mine is 100% 70's too... I've owned it since I was 15/16 years old - I'm now 59... Maybe it's a rare boot! I'll let the thread carry on for a while and see where we end up. I'm more than happy to get it back and refund the buyer if that's how it works out.

I recently sold my Del-Larks pressing on ebay that I bought via Mick Flello in the 1970's. The buyer has suggested that it is in fact a 2004 pressing - it most definitely isn't - and wants a full or partial refund (see his ebay message and photos of my record attached) I would appreciate it if one or two of you knowledgeable guys could respond to this post so that I can assure this buyer that his 45 is indeed from the 1970's! Thank you, Andrew

Bruce Springsteen does Frank Wilson, give me strength!
Soul16 replied to vince ayres's topic in Freebasing
An odd choice of song for Bruce Springsteen to cover. Other than to make a few dollars, there could be a specific reason of course I guess it'll get lots of radio airplay, but I doubt it will go down as a classic with his fans. -
Spent last week on holiday in the Lake District with my family. I hope my photos do this wonderful place some justice.
-
Yep, agree regarding Tommy Frontera. I’ve found that Freddie Houston - Soft Walkin’ is another example.
-
Thanks Ray

I don't get out much these days, so could someone tell me what this record is please? It's not very clear, but it sounds nice to me. https://youtu.be/qgsPlyGjBs8 Thanks in advance Andrew

Jerry Jackson for me too, it has more 'bite'. I also generally favour male vocals over female for some reason, not sure why.
-
Sure, I’ll do that for you my friend. All the best to you.
-
Yep, I remember the comment too. I had a look on YouTube out of interest and saw the 'live' performance. I then bought copy of the record - just because I liked it and it was no more than the price of a pint. As has already been said, he does sound similar to Dean Martin.
-
I’ve seen very few live soul acts if I’m honest, however I would choose Edwin Starr. I saw him multiple times with ‘The Team’. Several times singing to backing tracks and on one (brilliant, as it turned out) occasion, totally A cappella - the backing track machine failed, but that didn’t stop the show. What a great entertainer and lovely man he was.

Most streamed Northern track on Spotify

Frank Wilson DILY I would imagine. -
I totally agree with your analysis, however I still couldn't resist voting for Susan Rafey due to the 'Northernness' factor

First time I heard it was in the late 80’s at the Severn Soul Club at Perdiswell in Worcester. I seem to remember the DJ was Steve Smith. Gino was one of a great three in a row that I’d never heard before; the other two being Goodbye Cruel Love by Linda Griner and It’ll Never Be Over For Me by Timi Yuro. Happy days!
-
Blimey, I’d forgotten I uploaded those videos to YouTube. There was more footage but the quality was very poor due to the low lighting in there. I remember walking in there for the first time and ‘You can’t mean it’ by Chapter Five was belting out of those massive speakers high up on the wall. The atmosphere was electric and I was instantly hooked. My membership number was 227 I think, so not far behind you in the queue Steve.
-
Agreed, it was very common in the mid 70's. I bought two: one for me and one for my then girlfriend. I also bought the green boot at the same time. All from the same sales box.
-
RP = Robert Paladino (I would have thought)
-
The letters are on both sides of the record. They can appear anywhere relative to the label text of course, but obviously always the same distance from the centre hole. The record is definitely legitimate in my opinion too.
-
See attached image from your photo. It's a long shot, but try this location for the lettering.
-
I’ve compared the photo to my copy of the record and both the run in and run out widths look correct. The label colour looks right too, the red text looks a little fuzzy, but that could be the photo quality I guess. It looks like an original to me. If it is a boot, a lot of effort has gone into it. When feeling for the raised lettering, relax and only apply very light pressure with your finger.
