I think it's one of the best records I've ever heard, that last part where she sings "Oh it's a long way" and the chorous respond...mind blowing. I got a massive load of Spector outtakes with instrumental versions of many tracks, sadly there was no trace of this. It was meant to be Darlene's first proper solo single and Spector changed his mind at the last minute.

I won't claim I discovered this because how can you discover something that's been put out on a contemporary LP, but I certainly 'distributed' it to all the tape collectors in the late 80's and salivated over it in print at the time - but sadly, I don't know if it's ever been played anywhere. As far as I know, just an old tape swappers record.

Rod, this happens sometimes when you paste, what Nancy has to do is click the Word copyboard on the top of the toolbar and paste into there, then it will be formatted properly

Someone I know but a Delreys Incorporated pressing off ebay about 6 months ago and it was original - I know because he sent it to me to verify it - it's going to come up for sale today I think.

On here? Never.... Been saying for ages people should have to pay to advertise on Soul Source, especially if they never contribute to any of the forums

I'm not convinced there is a vinyl boot of this, not on purple Okeh anyway. I don't remember ever seeing one. There's certainly a 1974 reissue with the small 45.

Come again Gerry? Not sure what Wilson Pickett has to do with my sales post?

Don't shut the lid!

Indeed

Reminds me of those awful World Disco Dancing competitions circa 1979.

It's on UK High Note, the Dave Barker side is called She Want It (which also came out on Escort)

Sorry Rob no idea, the nearest I can get, I discovered a record on the B side of a Dave Barker record - had it covered up for a while - then it started to get played and now it sells for £50+, it's called Give Him Up by First Generation...really nice.

You're talking about Dave Kilworth aka DtheDrug on here...for sure

Yeah it's a bootleg from 1977, not the greatest quality unfortunately.

Now those are definitely carvers, obviously has a cutting machine - but still think Derby guy is using reissues, reason being, he's leaving the B sides as they were so that there's no confusion as to the real source.

Talking of lookalikes, what about this one? Actually pressed as this..

Don't think so John, I think they're old bootlegs. Holly St James (Soul Fox), Jeanette Harper (Bee) etc. I"m trying to think of a Larry Clinton pressing though..

Oh yes, that's great!

So if they are going to play crap, dull, UK Reggae like Del Davis, why not this, a brilliant vocal from Dave (Collins) Barker credited to The Charmers on UK Escort - is this a cover version of a soul number?

No I do agree with you about the Benny Spellman scenario.

Not aimed at anyone, just a general point from someone who's never been to a Wheel do. So there's a really popular club playing sounds that people know and sounds they expect to hear, but as usual this isn't good enough because those people aren't open minded enough to welcome new sounds. Where have I heard all this before? Forcing 70's and 80's music on people who need to be educated doesn't go down too well here. Next thing some bright spark will be telling them they should be playing Modern Soul at The Wheel otherwise they are dinosaurs / out of touch / stuck in a timewarp etc. OF COURSE THEY ARE STUCK IN A TIMEWARP, IT'S WHERE THEY WANT TO BE. They want to play and dance to authentic Wheel records, not to what The Wheel might have played had it continued into the 21st century. Leave 'em alone.

I found that to be one of the most unlistenable LP's I've ever had the misfortune to attempt to listen to. Nearly as bad as Dark Side Of The Moon.

hang on. He's already left you feedback, so he can't leave you it again. Cancel his order, give him his money back, thats it.

Refund his money, then tell him you have reported him to Ebay for malicious feedback, then block him from bidding on your stuff again, you'll never hear from him again, good riddance.
