Nice one Geoff. Will check out the ones I don't know. I really like that Richie Havens tune. Seen a few wants for it on here recently.

Epitome Of Sound? One clue is that stock copies and demo's have a small raised hallmark which can be felt under the label. Previous thread with some photos:-

Hi I think this might be in the wrong forum and should be in Look At Your Box, but anyway, I've done some research and whilst I can't find anything definitive, I think there's a possibility that the UK release on red Atlantic was dubbed off vinyl rather than from the master tape. Many UK 60's soul records were. Have a look at this post from Tony Rounce ( Ace/Kent Records ) which gives some background to this practice. As you will know this tune is a "barn burning" stomper and even when it was being recorded in the studio, I doubt the engineer/producer was mainly concerned with the hi/fidelity of the recording, going more for excitement and atmosphere. I've got a UK red Atlantic copy of this tune and it sounds ok on my system but then again I'm not expecting it to sound like Dark Side Of The Moon. If you want it to DJ with, it's doubtful if anyone could tell the difference between the two, cranked up I guess given the choice, I'd personally go for the Jotis copy if both the same price. Almost all of the UK 60s soul releases that were dubbed from disc on Polydor-distributed labels sound dreadful. The mastering engineer used to do most of them at the end of the day when the cutting stylus was too hot. Too hot cutting stylus = massive distortion The singles were probably not considered much of a priority in the overall scheme of things. After all, they were only going to be played on Dansettes or, at a pinch, a pirate radio station on the AM band. If you want a good demonstration of how bad things could get, try playing Dee Dee Sharp's "My Best Friend's Man" on UK Atlantic and then follow through with a nice, clean Atco copy. They're barely recognisable as the same record. J J Barnes' "Deeper In Love" on UK Polydor is another good example of "hot cutting". Sounds great on Ric Tic, sounds bloody awful on UK. For years I actually thought that they were different takes, so hard is it to believe that they both spring from the same root as it were. Oh, and by the way, and while I'm here, those who covet a Darrell Banks on London might care to note that it's dubbed from a Revilot 45 . The Statside copy, however, is taken from a Revilot mastertape...

I've enjoyed reading your playlists of the Sunday brunch sessions you do there. Sounds like a great venue to be involved at. Best Mike

Have heard Clyde McPhatter - Lover Please played out at a soul do. Not strictly rockabilly but definitely a nod to rock n roll and might appeal to some punters wanting to hear something different to straight ahead soul at your do ( Beachland is a brunch place right Cleavesoulie?). Maybe The Coasters - Three Cool Cats / Hog For You Baby and The Trends - If You Don't Dig The Blues could work along the same lines i.e. soulful but with a Rock n Roll feel.

Postage £2.30 signed for. Paypal as gift please. Andre Brasseur - The Kid (VG ++) - £15.00 Bunny Sigler - Girl Don't Make Me Wait (Ex -) / Let The Good Times Roll ( VG+ minor small scratch/mark causes a single audible click but doesn't jump - see photo ) - £15.00 Thanks for looking

Still lots of happy clappers ( me included ) at The 100 Club. Few that spring to mind are:- Charlene & The Soul Serenaders - Can You Win Ben E King - Getting To Me Cresa Watson - Sweet Temptation

Is that for USA or UK? USA seems to command a better price?

I'm selling Rob. Found it today on a record digging trip in Norfolk for Andy Hackett. He's started a disco roadshow but he's short of soul tunes so asked me to find him some stuff. His next one is on Friday night at The Alliance ph in West Hampstead supporting Boz Boorer's new rockabilly band if you fancy a night out.

Cheers fellas.

What's the going rate for "I Can't Move No Mountains" on UK Atlantic?

Johnny Bristol - Hang On In There Baby - Do It To My Mind - You & I Four Tops - ( It Would Almost ) Drive Me Out Of My Mind - 7 Lonely Nights / I Can't hold On Much Longer Holland Dozier - Baby Don't Leave Me / Why Can't We Be Lovers

Maybe worth a simple google search under images - then save image to pictures/photos unless it has to be original sheet music.

George Martin next to Billy Paul bottom left?

Both good but If You Think You're Groovy has the Marriott - Lane stamp of quality.

Reminds me of when I saw Booker T at the Bush Hall a few years back. He was promoting his new album Potato Hole and was backed by The Driveby Truckers, a band of longhairs who could rock. New album tunes sounding great and crowd getting into it when in a break between tunes someone shouts out " play what you're known for ". Some people need to stop living in the past!

Cheers Rob. Popped into Rough Trade for Jeb's 45. Got the EP free as I had to go back for a replacement as the first one was scratched. Not sure about the Xmas party. If I don't see you, hope you have a great Xmas and New Year. Best Mike

Decent album which includes The Kindly Shepherds and The Masonic Wonders. Vinyl is Ex- Sleeve VG ( minor crease along the bottom, minor tear on the spine, small drill hole front and back and a bit grubby on reverse ( see photos ) £13.00 plus £3.50 postage and packing PayPal friends and family or bank transfer
