If it was 100 quid and in even vg condition I would have had it....I won't buy cracked records though.Yep it said cracked and underside was taped.I don't know why sellers pull the description and the other one is removing the price sold at...why?? It's a good barometer of a price of a record.
Just realised that Sharon Finch is the woman who came up to me after dancing to Oh Happy Day and asking me to stop playing seventies rubbish as i was playing Heart Be Still..
Will try and get some scans up.Was talking to a King collector at the weekend and we got on to Sue.He has a nearly complete run.I asked him about Gerri Hall....yep got that one on a complete white label .
Full of Jim Reeves,Top Of The Pops sounds like the original artist lps,classical,ValDoonican Rocks But Gently,Herp Alpert...oh and every James last lp apart from Beach Party or Voodoo.

Never seen any UK demos either...funnily enough I picked up a Steve Francis Watch Your Step the other week.Yep records for small scenes... Loads of irish showband music,ballads,reggae and Pop and soul.About 20 years ago a box of the Rumblers was found...you had to force the records out of the sleeves.
I bought this year's ago amongst a pile of UK acetates...it's a one sided styrene 45 with no stampers....it's a typical late sixties style soul 45... Lyrics are..come together all the people.Any clues anyone??
If RCA were involved why wouldnt they have stuck it out on Grapevine or the UK Orange RCA? Have RCA been.involved in any other label owners private pressings? All the pressings were either done by label owners or criminals to exploit the northern soul scenes demand.Why when they had legitimate labels and distribution for northern soul would they repress this??
So let's get this right.There is a high demand in England on the northern soul scene....so what we will do is press it on a facsimile Us label.....errr but boss we already have a UK outlet for the northern releases with our UK RCA Direction label aimed specifically at the northern scene...darn it press it anyway Simon Saucepan will get the blame.
Demo on popsike at 354 quidSpinners on UK...I'm sure the Spinners was quickly withdrawn...I've a UK issue of The Spinners and a copy of The Detroit Spinners.
I like them both...Timi probably did come out in the UK first as it was arranged by my south London neighbour Ian Green who is married to a member of The Orlons.
