I'd love to know who did these, they also did The Mob, Gene Chandler (Mr Big Shot), The Magnificents, Five of a Kind, Christy Allen, many more, all identifiable by using the same typeface for the logo.

No thats totally different to the one in the photo!

The one bottom left is the dubious one, this was counterfeited

There's one on the list I posted up for Mick Smith in todays sales, £100. I had one for £75 earlier this week but as you know, it sold pretty quickly.

Anyone know if the red and silver version is rarer than the purple and silver version, or vice versa? I can only remember having the purple one, got a red one now and want to sell it. cheers Pete

Was standing with Dave Kilworth over to the lft if you look at the doors mate. If you were over on the right, I saw you. Or someone who looked like you :-)

A fantastic turn out to say goodbye to Max today. Church was full, more outside listening to the service over the p.a., and a beautiful day for it too. There's a celebration going on right now and lasting all day, sadly I'm now at home babysitting but good luck for the rest of the day everyone.

Thanks for that! Needed it.

If it's not German or Australian, then it's South African

Gilly, I realise I'm not in much of a position to argue with you but that "Barbara Mercer" backing track is not the same as the Shawn Robinson one, play the two next to each other, completely different.

https://podcastmachine.com/podcasts/4425/episodes/25233 Blimey there's some heavy duty stuff here - I honestly tried to choose quality over rarity though and didn't choose anything that wasn't a great track. Well apart from the Keith Curtiss maybe. Esther Grant alone comes in at a whopping 4 grand, Little John on GoGate isn't far off that. I included a couple of personal favourites which are considered 'cheap' compared to most here, Charlotte O'Hara (aka Bonnie of Bonnie & The Treasures) and the wonderful Voltaires single. Anyway there'll be more like this upcoming very soon. Hope you enjoy it.

PETE SMITH 4 BLAKELEY HEATH DRIVE WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WV5 0HW 01902 326306 Pete.smith@freeuk.com HERE’S A PRETTY GOOD MIX OF USA AND UK ORIGINALS, IF YOU BUY SOMETHING YOU'LL MAKE ME VERY HAPPY :-) PETE p.s. I’ve done a new northern soul podcast, this one is really really good, some very rare things included, will send details soon as I get it up on the site NORTHERN SOUL ORIGINALS **************************** ANN PERRY – THAT’S THE WAY HE IS / INST – THEODA VG 180 SOLD I rate this as one of the rarest 45’s I’ve had in years. This isn’t the version with the rosette on the label, it’s the original vinyl Detroit press. Don’t get this confused with the light blue label vinyl press, that turned up in the late 80’s, those are dubious. This was bought in Detroit, it certainly looks it’s age and it has two stamps, Bell Sound and one I can’t make out. Visually it’s only vg with all the attributes of a record never kept in a sleeve, plays wise, it’s bloomin brilliant, both sides, barely a click. Label has some wear on the raised parts but no writing. A seriously rare record and it’s not even in Manships price guide. EMANUEL LASKEY – DON’T LEAD ME ON BABY – THELMA EX 100 Would have been 125 but had a couple of non sounding marks. This is the Nashville matrix stamped copy.

Only recently? 8 years ago...got it on a boot cd called Rare Soul Bible where it's listed as Barbara mercer.

Yeah mine too, great record. The Barbara mercer one comes from the Groovesville/Solid Hitbound tapes and is a different backing track.

I'm sure all will be revealed in the next 24 hours...

Bob's probably busy promoting his venue.

Well they originally said it was Diana Ross but then it was known as Barbara Mercer I think - unless there were actually two versions, I know I had the Barbara Mercer one on a dub and played it a few times

I need to raise a fair bit of dosh to buy some records at the end of the week so I'm reducing this lot to 10.00 each, some of these you'll find in the book at 60, 70, 80 quid. Sod that, they're 10.00 each. I think there are about 70 records here = 700 quid, if anyone wants the lot, 500 quid ok. LOOK CAREFULLY Post is extra, I'll quote you depending on how many records you want. cheers Pete pete.smith@freeuk.com 01902 326306 DEJAH AHRES REAL JIVE GUY (JNST) VERVE DEMO M- 10 JACK ASHFORD & THE SOUND OF NEW DETROIT DO THE CHOO CHOO BLAZE WD M 10 ALPACA PHASE III I LIKE TO PARTY ATLANTIC DEMO EX 10 DEE ADRA DON'T NEED A REASON DYNAMIC DEMO VG++ 10 SOLD SONNY BRICECREST WE GOT TOGETHER AZETTA M- 10 RUTH BROWN IF YOU SON'T TELL NOBODY PHILIPS DEMO VG+ 10 BARNABY BYE CAN'T LIVE THIS WAY ATLANTIC EX 10 THE BLENDTONES COME ON HOME SUCCESS M 10SOLD THE CINCINNATIANS DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO EMERALD EX 10SOLD CHICO & CHA CHA NOT IN HOLLYWOOD SCORPI DEMO M 10 THE CHANTEURS YOU'VE GOT A GREAT LOVE VEE JAY DEMO VG+ 10 THE DIFFERENT STROKES EVERYDAY PEOPLE OKEH DEMO M 10SOLD TOMMY DAWN & THE SUNSETS WANTED $10,000 REWARD WHITE CLIFFS EX 10SOLD DAVID & THE GIANTS SUPER LOVE CRAZY HORSE (WOL) VG+ 10SOLD THE DEBANAIRS FEEL ALL RIGHT W-BS M 10 THE EXCITERS WEDDINGS MAKE ME CRY BANG DEMO M 10 THE EMBERS IT AIN'T NO BIG THING BELL DEMO EX 10SOLD ETERNAL FLAME HAPPINESS IN MY HEART VIVA EX 10 THE ESSEX MOONLIGHT MUSIC AND YOU BANG DEMO EX 10 RUSS EDEN LADY DREAM MACHINE M 10 SONNY FULTON SUGAR WOOGAH BIG DADDY VG 10 THE FOUR MONITORS THANK YOU BABY ROKER EX 10SOLD BOBBY FRANKLIN THE LADIES CHOICE FEE EX 10 BILLY FRAZIER TRY ME VERVE EX 10 ISAAC HAYES LAURA SAN AMERICAN EX 10SOLD THE HALOS DO I / JUST KEEP ON LOVING ME CONGRESS DEMO 10 Sadly this one's cracked but if you line it up properly it plays absolutely perfectly BARBARA HALL YOU BOUGHT IT ON YOURSELF INNOVATION II EX 10SOLD Z.Z.

So I manage to get Toy Story 3 one day after it's release but can't get Soulboy for 3 months!

Not from me, I can't stand it, but you could post it in the 70's section of the Soul of Jamaica forum.
