Thats weird, I thought it was the link to the £50 reissue! Must stop eating mushrooms in the morning

They also had a Frank Foster cover up that they used to play there...

Brilliant!

My favourite insts...there's probably loads more, there's one real surprise in with this lot, see if you can spot it!! And does anyone actually remember it?? innocent bystanders - frantic escape frankie crocker - ton of dynamite sidras theme bari track mirwood strings - don't pretend - I've actually got 2 versions of this, one is the well know one with a violin taking the lead, as bootlegged on soul fox, the other is an acetate which is just the backing track and no lead violin, I believe it is Russ's old copy which he go from Soussan matta baby - do the pearl girl miroslav vitous - new york city jimmy conwell - cigarette ashes bobs band - lockes theme willie mitchell - the champion

Easy, Tell Her never came out on the B side of determination! Pete

I don't know if this qualifies as deep soul but a record I love is Jay Wiggins - Sad Girl

It IS a boot and I emailed and told him so and he replied as follows: Dear mayfairmenthol, (thats me) You asked: "It's a reissue..." THANKS WILL DOUBLE CHECK I HAVE BEEN TOLD PRICE IS STILL REASONABLE IF NO SALE I WILL KEEP HOLD OF RECORD to which I replied I would sell him a copy for £6

To each their own. I need to stay awake to do my list so I best not listen to any of that deep soul going offtopic but I get the same buzz as you do from your deep soul from the likes of... the sensations - born to love you alton ellis - my time the uniques - love and devotion austin faithful - I am losing you pat kelly - what am I to do the heptones - only sixteen ken boothe - i don't want to see you cry thats where I get my deep soul from - the soulful sounds of rocksteady .. with bells on!

Are they like Blur circa Modern Life Is Rubbish? They look it, style wise

What is that on your avatar, a cat or a dog or something alien??

The James Fountain track is acceptable

There's a version on the UK reggae label Torpedo from the early 70's but I can't remember who it's by, sorry

I just don't think you can put things in a discog which don't exist - just because someone says they exist, thats no basis to argue that you're right Dave. I based what I said on having been around records for a long time, and I've never heard of many of these couplings - and certainly not seen them or handled them. These are what I have a problem with Atac 2830 - (We're In A) Rat Race / Oh Not Me - 1975 (Rumoured To Be Only Six Copies Made - All With A Hand Written Label) Washpan 854 - Rat Race / Oh Not Me - ? Washpan 32943 - Rat Race / ? - 197? W. M. C. 358 - Like My Baby (Instrumental) / Rat Race - ? I have seen both the Do De Re versions of Like My Baby, one is an A side, one is an instrumental B side to Gino Is A Coward. I've actually got WMC 358 in front of me and it is Gino Is A Coward b/w Like My Baby instrumental...so there's one wrong for a start. p.s. I had no idea you did the discography so don't make/take it personally

Agree 100% - Flame looks great on DVD by the way in case you haven't got it (I can send you a copy) - fantastic bands and all local lads, you can still spot Dave Hill and Jimmy Lea round here and I literally bumped into Don Powell in the early 90's in Bexhill On Sea!

What I mean is that it helped open the door to an avelanche of second rate 70's tunes which still persist today :angry:

I was thinking about this in bed last night because someone said it's impossible for an instrumental to be soulful - my favourite insts are things like Bari Track, Cigarette Ashes, Locke's Theme (not a joke!), Exus Trek, but I would say that Ramsey Lewis' Wade In The Water or Booker T Time Is Tight, surely these have to be classed as soul???

and look out for the white DJ bootleg with sterling sound scratched in - it's on vinyl, and the sound quality is poor Am I really the only person on the ns scene who hates this record??? I think of it as the start of a downward spiral

It's all gone quiet in the Dudley area

Interestingly - well not really - a lot of the bassline running through the Charlie Gracie record is identical to Day tripper by The Beatles :o

There was one on Ebay 2 months ago - I thought I was going to win it at 500 dollars then about 10 snipe bids went on and it went up to 2500 or something like that

I bought it - actually I didn't, I shoplifted it from a reduced 45's box because I didn't have 20p, the only thing I've ever stolen - in 1973 when I was 13 and I could literally play this record every day and never get tired of it, in fact I do play it mosr days. The weird thing is, when my girlfriend heard it she thought it was...wait for it...Carol King!

One of them was on Never Mind The Buzzcocks a few weeks back and a couple of them have given their considered opinions on the UK Music Hall Of Fame thing that's going on channel 4 at the moment - they look like mods to be honest, young kids...didn't sound Irish though. This is if I'm thinking of the right group of course!

Do they have to be soul? How long will it take - pat kelly i saw the light - todd rundgren coz i luv you - slade lets stay together - al green you don't care - the techniques northern wise - mel britt, yum yums, bernie williams, sam williams, joannie sommers, doni burdick, tobi legend - I could probably name 100

I think all the pink issues are legit represses which John Anderson had done. The only original as the sterling stamped white demos. The issues are therefore reissues but are still sold as originals, because they sort of are, as the record never actually got past the WDJ stage.
