1) the whole clip is above 2) who is the fuzzy faced fake 3) can you let me know if I actually sent you any of the correct records Jock

I've only heard two of them (Capree, Kool Blues) and I don't think much of them. Can't comment on the rest, newies take amlong time to reach the Midlands.

It's not worth anything because it's still available, though one day the copies will have all run out

Does anyone know who Peter Hamilton is, or whether he write the music or just sung on the crap vocal side of a great instrumental?

He's got some shocking feedback though - either records are knackered or don't turn up at all https://www.toolhaus.org/ put his user id in

Hey Ian, if you venture outside of this topic you'll see that venicia Wilson is being discussed in the Look At Your Box section

OK well it might be sung by a skinny white girl but in my opinion, this is as good a record as any that I've ever heard, I mean that - it's got absolutely everything ">

It does - so does the original - in fact the original was not only covered up as "Clouds" (think thats right) but also as "Downtown Generation"

Laughing Out Loud

Unissued version of Lucky To Be Loved By You which came out on Goldmines Thelma cd is supposedly by him. It's brilliant.

Not sure..late 60's maybe?

Yeah you're right Mal, though this has got a couple of scratches on that side so it's VG+. Thirty quid if anyone wants it

OK. But I think you are 100% wrong about any connection to Souled Out.

APRIL, MAY & JUNE - HE WENT AWAY - RCA DEMO VG++ 50 SOLD Stunning midtempo girl group track, this is the RCA demo not the Decca acetate I mentioned last week, you can hear the track here /Uk-Acetate-t78207.html this one has a bit of crackle at the start and writing on the label MIKE ANCONA & THE JOKERS - BOUND FOR LOVE - CHASE EX 75 SOLD Bit of a mystery record here. I think it's a blue eyed soul effort from either Texas or New Orleans and the group is supposedly the same ones who did "Soul Sound" but this doesn't appear in any price guide or any website by the looks of it, so maybe a new discovery.

It is, but the way it's been chopped up and reassembled to make a new record is very very clever in my opinion. I know you can do it all on computers but you still have to have an ear for it.

It's a work of genius.

We all need someone to put a metophorical arm around us now and again

It was recorded and manufactured in 2000 so it's part of that one and only batch.

It's not worth £25, you'd be lucky to get £10 for it because it's been reissued twice since the Eric one and can be bought on Stardust for a fiver

Darrell banks on black London demo?

Like I said - a random browse through five or six issues of Black Music magazine, not a potted history of discoveries

It's a real shame that this thread, one of the most interesting in ages, has been ruined by people just trying to show Ian Levine up - for what? Making records in the 80's with synthesised drumbeats? Being a fan of Doctor Who? Leaving the Northern scene in the lurch? Many of us where finding this topic really interesting but James, for goodness sake, if you've got a problem with Levine, which you obviously have, why don't you two thrash it out by PM because I'm pretty sure the rest of us don't want to read it. If you don't like him then fine but stop ruining the topic, same for everyone else who have taken it way off topic. Can we get back to talking about the music?

Thats what comes of copying from Record Collector

You're right. I had a few of these EP's at one time. Could never get much interest in them though.
