Just some tunes from my favourite Jamaican singer who died last week ">

This has been up before but it was in terrible quality - he's a beautiful version

Greatest-singer-ever. RIP

Sorry to nitpick but it was big in 78 not 76

I love Until You Come Back To Me by Aretha Franklin. Apart from that, I agree with Tony.

Nij, you misenterpreted what I was saying, I meant that AFTER 1970 there's nothing worth listening to with a few small exceptions. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than listen to any roots reggae. Always loved dub though.

It's Nabay

So I'll undercut both of 'em. LINDA ELLIOT - FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU BABY - JOSIE DEMO EX 50 Truly brilliant oldie DEE EDWARDS - ALL THE WAY HOME - D TOWN ISSUE EX 75 SOLD Lovely yellow stock copy, in my experience these are harder than the white demos INEZ & CHARLIE FOXX - NO STRANGER TO LOVE - DYNAMO EX 15 SOLD Just as good if not better than Tightrope HOWARD GUYTON - I WATCHED YOU SLOWLY SLIP AWAY - VERVE ISSUE VG++ 125 One or two marks but plays great, the much rarer stock copy ART GENTRY - MERRY GO ROUND - ONYX EX 30 Cracking oldie REGGIE GARNER - HALF A CUP / SAME - ABC DJ M- 25 Good 70's dancer THE HYTONES - GOOD NEWS / GEORGE JACKSON - ALL IN MY MIND - KENT 6T'S 29TH ANNIVERSARY SINGLE UNP 50 SOLD Here's your chance to get an unplayed copy of this years anniversary 45 before it disappears FRANK HOWARD - JUDY - EXCELLO EX 75 SOLD Best on the label for me, brilliant SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS - I PUT A SPELL ON YOU - DECCA EX 70 The most demented record ever played on the scene by a mile - this is the really uptempo version - and it's on the rare issue copy, not the usual pink demo DEENA JOHNSON - THE BREAKING POINT - WILD DEUCE DEMO EX- 70 This is one of my all time favourite records, I can't chose between the male vocal or the female one, and by some strange coincidence I've got both of them on this weeks list! RUBY JOHNSON - WEAK SPOT - VOLT EX 30 SOLD How underrated is this, to be honest I'd never played it but WOW it's absolutely FANTASTIC, really soulful gritty dancer DELILAH KENNEBRUEW - BRIGHT LIGHTS - LOMA DEMO EX+ 100 Great oldie, never really went massive and has stayed very elusive - one of the best Northern dancers on the label PAT LUNDY - (I'M AT) THE BREAKING POINT - JULMAR M 40 Although these Julmar copies are mint, they always sound like they've been dubbed from another record and are a bit quiet - awesome all the same though PHIL LOWMAN - ROCK ME TIL I WANT NO MORE - PALOS VG+ 40 This is the yellow Palos label and according to the books, it's a 100 quid original. Label is a bit stained. PATTY LIVINGSTON - I'VE GOT MY BABY - DIMENSION DEMO EX- 30 If you love girl group dancers then you'll adore this THE LOLLIPOPS - LOVING GOOD FEELING - IMPACT VG+ 100 Issue copy, has a few surface marks but plays beautifully with maybe two tiny clicks barelu audible.

Minor marks not affecting play. Tough record to find. THE SAPPHIRES - EVIL ONE - ABC EX 50 Classic oldie - nice issue NINA SIMONE - BREAK DOWN AND LET IT ALL OUT - PHILIPS M 25 How brilliant is this?

JOHN & THE WONDERETTES - MEND MY BROKEN HEART / AND IF I HAD MY WAY - UNITED ARTISTS DEMO EX 150 SOLD Two brilliant Detroit sides IKE & TINA TURNER - DUST MY BROOM - TANGERINE DEMO EX 50 One of the hardest to find variations of this record - a West Coast styrene white demo The next lot are a mixture of total unknowns, semi knows, R&B, crossover and modern and I've put sound samples of all of them up on Soul Source, some are set sale and some are open to offers, the link is /Potenti...ies-t83926.html and the records are as follows ALMETA LATIMER - TOBACCO ROAD - DE VEL EX 50 THE JAEDES - UH UH WHAT DID I DO - ATHENA M 75 DON GLEICHER - ALL OF MY LIFE - TARHEEL M OFFS?

OK thats the lot, anyone interested in anything let me know, or you are welcome to give any opinions or identify the tracks, just a bit of fun for a monday morning...

A friend of mine sent me this package of records and I said I'd see what I could do, they range from brilliant to, erm, average let's say but there's a couple of crackers in here and maybe some potential biggies. There are also some sweet soul/deep soul type things. Anyway have a listen, you might like something, there's about 12 altogether so watch this space. Also, I wasn't sure whether he wanted me to reveal the artists or not so I'll just use the initials but some will already be known anyway. p.s. decided to put some names on p.p.s. sorry about the start of the Juicy Roy record, there was a bit of crap stuck in the grooves and I removed it but forgot to edit the sound sample

Nor me - can't stand it - means absolutely nothing to me and it all sounds the same

This is Mick Smith's copy Tony

By strange coincidence - I actually posted up the Tony Scott track on wednesday!

You might be surprised how easy it is to find a lot of the records still - not locally I mean, but on Ebay. Obviously many are now very rare but a lot of the big records from back then can still be bought for a fiver or a tenner. The catalogue sounds most intriguing, I bet they've listed The Volumes - I just can't help myself in there!

I love the Carpenters!

Yep two people have now told me this, strange it saying Bobby Bland though.

I can keep it open for say 7 days?
