No mate it's The Messengers credit one - UK Mirto label - exactly the same record, just given another artist name for some reason.

Anyone still after a copy?

Don't think they are. Am probably wrong though.

I'd expect £300 - £350 for the same!

No, I didn't find out. One of the few mysteries that Soul Source members never managed to solve.

The first minute or so fits ok then it goes a bit astray. I quite like mashups. Especially that Althia & Donna meet We Will Rock You one. Not heard a good Northern one yet though.

DAVE MCLAREN - LOVE IS ALL I BRING - BIG BG 321 (1971) will pay 30 /40 DOMINGOES & BAND - A TRIBUTE - MELODY MRC 002 (1968/69) will pay 40 / 50

Brenda Holloway - Reconsider on a recent-ish repress white label with SOUL at the top. Was also issued on Stardust and on a white label UK copy and on a so called Motown test pressing, none of which are legit.

You sure Pete, there's no proper demos of this as far as I know, only stamped ones

Don't know why Braggin is rare, they gave away 100,000 copies didn't they? The Elvis one was always rare, I tried to get it the minute they announced they 'released' it except they gave all the copies away at gigs instead.

Can I just point out that there is no 'original' 45 of this record from the 60's hence the numerous boots of it, and if thats all you can play it off then so be it

Stuck a decent bid on the Island 45...it'll get topped but you'll get £30+ on it

https://www.northerns...0579b1a8764b751 link to a pic of one - I thought they were reissues too

The Decca group always did test pressings of both albums and singles. Decca, Deram, RCA, Brunswick, Coral, Atlantic etc. They all turn up. You'll see lots of Decca 45 demos in various stages, e.g. test press with a white label / blue writing, blank info but proper demo label, proper demo. I've had a couple of Action label test press LP's, proper covers but white label records (Betty Harris - Soul Perfection, Al Greene - Back Up Train)

https://www.wired.com...le&obref=obfile needs a bit of work

No takers for this? Fantastic midtempo track, stunning condition vinyl copy too. ERMA FRANKLIN - ABRACADBRA - EPIC DEMO £100 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzM3ASmoQ2M

I think It was what they call a local cover-up. I didn't know it til a lot later but I found an old playlist or a review where it was mentioned when I was trying to get it myself.

Theres nothing there...

Great stuff Nikki. The Loving Kind did a version of "Ain't That peculiar", one of the earliest Motown covers by a UK band. Very collectable group.

Excellent point Chalky. And totally true.

LAST ONE OF THE YEAR FROM ME FOLKS, I WENT THROUGH ALL MY 45's AND PULLED OUT WHAT I THINK ARE THE BEST OF THE LOT, NOW I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD THEM ALL BEFORE BUT PUT THEM ALTOGETHER AND YOU GET A GREAT MIX TO SEE THE NEW YEAR IN WITH. THESE ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ULTRA RARE TO STILL BE FANTASTIC TUNES.

Yeah she's miming too...and the announcer gets the title wrong at the end "Just say you're mine"

Don't know if your question was serious about miming but I have all the episodes and about 70% are mimed, the rest are live versions or live vocals over a backing track
