Can't agree with that Pete. I couldn't give a flying f**k what any dealer says, I have my own opinion and I much prefer the double tracked version. Once again it sounds much better when played out, and that's the reason I bought the record, to play out. The other version is probably nicer to listen to at home, but that wasn't my criteria for buying it.

I never said anything about one being rarer than the other. What I said was the bongo intro version is the one that most people want. It's definitely not a rare record (either version), but it's popularity means that people are willing to pay mucho money for it. I would say that the Sonatas is by far the rarest thing on the label, a proper rarity. The Gerri Hall, there must be hundreds.

Same thing happened with a mate of mine, but he bought the Sonatas for peanuts because he liked Donna King and it was on the same label. He's still got it, mint as well.

Like I said earlier, this version doesn't command the same money as the other. One of which just sold on this forum for more than twice that price.

I thought that after so many years have passed these laws are redundant?

I think Rob did a few acetates for Dj's to play. I had one at one time. The original is with Andy Rix.

top man Pete.

George, read the date on James's post. You missed the boat, in fact the boat has probably been scraped by now. Bloody smileys have gone again.

This is the one to own, you won't get anywhere near the same price for the other one.

It looks exactly like a Technics 1200 with a pre amp fitted. If that's what it is you can't go wrong, should be perfect.

If I were fortunate enough to have lots of money, I would love to have a small box of my all time favourite 45's on the original vinyl. Just to look at and play from time to time. I'm the same with cars. I would have a heated garage with all my favourite cars sat in it. And I don't mean super cars. Back to reality. Where the hell have the smileys gone?

What a record, real shame about the background noise. I personally couldn't stand to listen to it like that, but looks like many others aren't as fussy as me. Probably worth a fortune just to have it in your collection, but I've always been about the music in the grooves. It is a crime that people can treat vinyl with no respect. Good luck with the sale, and I will be very interested to see what it finally goes for.

........ ......... .......... ......... ........... ............ JANUARY RARE SOUL AUCTION FINISHES 2.00pm FRIDAY 31st JANUARY 2014 (31st January The trademark "Coca - Cola" was first registered in the U. S. Patent Office 1893 ) Our usual tried and tested method. Highest bid at finishing time wins the item and pays the offered price. No extensions, no complications. It’s easy. To view the items below go to www.raresoulvinyl.co.uk and click on Auctions. Min Bid: JAN - A Patrinell Staten Little Love Affair Sepia 8201 VG++ 2000 Out of Seattle, I make no wonder this one is rare. We were in touch with her at one time and she didn’t have a copy — “I think my niece may have one” (she didn’t). Quality and rarity on this collectable JAN - B Chuck Holiday Just Can’t Trust Nobody Gloria 113 M- 1500 There are rare records and rare records! Detailed investigations reveal some rarities to be scarcer than others (I know that sounds odd, but how often do you see Jimmy Mack promo’s?). This one is hardly ever on eBay. Two great sides as well JAN - C Sam Dees Lonely For You Baby SSS Int’l 732 M- 350 So many calls anytime we get a copy of this one that I thought we’d be fair to all and auction by way of a change JAN - D Bernard Smith Gotta Be A Reason Groove 504 VG++ 300 See my comments on the Chuck Holiday. Probably only the third copy we’ve had in 25 years! JAN - E Inspirations Your Wish Is My Command Midas 9003 VG++ 750 Strong VG++ just some “greying of the vinyl” (check out the sound bite). And talking of Midas, you would definitely have to have the golden touch to find this one in the States today JAN - F Jimmy Moore Church Street Sally SPQR 1006 WD VG++ 300 Although R&B types find this at the top of their ‘wants’ these days, quite frankly I’m amazed that it eluded the scene for so long in general because this gritty and groovy stomper is great Northern in its own right. Check the soundbite and see if you agree. JAN - G Masqueraders How LaBeat 6606 M- 700 Very neat condition just a tiny bit of age on the label edge. Blows everyone away on the dancefloors today of course. JAN - H Silky Hargraves Keep Loving Me (Like You Do) Dearborn 563 M- 400 Just a bit rarer on issue than promo I’d say. Pressed at Columbia’s plant, therefore styrene, many a copy will have succumbed to bad styluses — but not this one! JAN - I Dynamics I Need Your Love RCA 9084 M- 325 Yet more great Detroit, this time on the major, and of course black issue is the one to have. JAN - J Lorraine Chandler I Can’t Hold On RCA 8980 VG++ 300 Comments as per The Dynamics 45 really, but look at the quality on this label — and don’t forget these things sold NOTHING really, the issues should be 4 times the price of promos.

I agree Bob. I have never rated isopropyl for cleaning records.

It depends on what type of turntable you are using Pete. Some are designed to use with only one type of cart, these are pre set so that the stylus will be at the correct angle. If however you are using a more professional type of turntable, you will be able to use different types of tone arm and cartridge. I am only conversant with the Technics 1200 range, and these decks have adjustment for different types of cart. Even adding a slip mat will alter the angle of the stylus. There are full instructions on recommended settings and how to set the tone arm with the turntable and the cart. Each type requires different weight and height settings. Unless you are an audiophile and are playing mint albums, I would strongly advise turning the anti skate to "0" If you don't have the manual for your turntable, you should be able to download it on line.

First of all, make sure you are using a diamond stylus. Some of the budget ones are sapphire and are very prone to skipping. If you can get a direct drive turntable instead of a belt drive one, this makes the process very easy indeed. You should set the weight on the tone arm as light as possible. Try the method of clearing the groove by moving the turntable back and forth with the stylus over the offending area. Only add a bit of weight if it doesn't work. For some reason it seems to work better with less weight rather than more. It's reversing the direction that clears it, not the force used, and more weight will cause permanent damage to the sound. I have heard all the arguments about the best turntable and stylus and we all have our favourites. But for 1960's 45's, you cannot go wrong with a Technics 1200 series turntable matched with a Shure White Label cart. It's massively important that you set the tone arm up to match the cart though, and I was constantly amazed by some of the set ups that I came across when Dj'ing at other venues. It explains why there are so many records with cue burn.

The black label is a Chicago release and the gold label is Detroit.

Yes George, if you examine the 45 you will see that the "there's that mountain" side is stamped, but the "love can't be modernised" side is just scratched in the run out. If you play the "love can't be modernised" side the sound quality is very poor, and is the same version that was booted on the soultown 45. This was not in the ebay description. I only found out when I bought one. I thought it was too good to be true, and it was.

Try and find one though Steve.

Hello George. If you are referring to the ones that were on ebay last year, they were very dodgy indeed. In fact we had a discussion about them on here, and the best conclusion was that they were re issues that were done from the original stamper for the "There's that mountain" side, but the label owner had lost the stamper for the other side and they used the alternate [inferior] b side instead.

I've said this before and got berated for it, but I have from time to time bought a re issue / bootleg of a very rare record so I could record it for listening to at home. And in most cases, the sound quality has been so poor that I didn't even bother recording the record. I must say that I am VERY FUSSY though.

I don't agree Steve, it's very hard to find an original that is stamped on both sides.

Fair enough John.

Why have you sold it then John?
