Because they're cheap, less people know them as they haven't had the exposure - duh.

Since when has this been "underrrated"? Everyone loves it and recognises it as a classic.

I suppose he's borderline soul/gospel/jazz kind of like Bill Withers doesn't fit into one category. Having said that, I think both Look At Me Now and Ordinary Joe are outstanding.

Link gone..

No Dave I am officially retired from going out.

Young Folk - Lonely Girl - Mar V Lus a £15 cheapie thats as good as almost anything I've ever heard

I use view new content exclusively, I don't view any other way, so that is presumably why I see more bumps than most. You can't make it no edit Mike because nobody would be able to mark items as sold, but if you could lock the post that would sort it out.

That came out on HMV didn't it?

Good to hear mate

As do lots of single item sales posts which knock other peoples posts down the list

To be fair Macca, the guitar freak out in Taj Mahal was only on the LP version, it was wisely edited out of the 7" version for airplay purposes.

Steve's price of £25 was fine I thought, it's not rare on Vocalion, £25 or thereabouts is what I usually sell it for. A demo would be a different proposition.

Regards Lou Pride, the first two thirds I reckon are up there with anything ever made, brilliant, the last third when it turns into a horrible jazz workout is terrible, that's why a lot of people don't like it. Masqueraders, never done anything for me, pedestrian uptempo dancer. Mr Soul - nice tune, nothing special. Rarity over quality. So I don't think Grant's choices are particularly controversial.

Good luck Junji, I sold this in 1994 and I haven't seen one since, been looking for it again for maybe five years and it is a very, very rare record. It's ten times rarer than You Baby and not only that, it's a very good version. It's certainly rarer than most of the Motown records released on Oriole as far as copies go.

Seriously? He sang in the background at recording sessions? Are you pulling my leg? And Winston McIntosh is the real name of Peter Tosh...

Keep an eye out for young uns coming into the venues then go up behind them and start moaning about OVO and pop stompers, every time they move away, follow them

I'll do free UK postage on any orders over £20

Why, do you think they're going to see some old people disagreeing on a website and decide it's too dangerous and negative to go to a venue in case they run into us and we moan at them?

Mixed I think

duplicate sorry

The only info I"ve got is that there's the original Top Deck cut and then a possible 1969 remake. But it just sounds like a bit of studio leakage to me. Tony Rounce will know, he's had all the master tapes from Top deck.

You know what, I think I bought that off you!
