I've not visited this thread for a while but have spent several pleasant hours over the last couple of days catching up and heard some superb tunes. Couple that stood out - Lady Wray - Do It Again ( downloaded a copy for 79p ) and Queen Yahna - Aint It Time ( added to wants list ) . As has been said before, this thread is still a great resource for hearing a variety of new tunes. I've not been buying much soul music lately but as I was in London last week visiting my daughter, I thought I'd pop in to Rough Trade and pick up a copy of this tune which I've been meaning to get for a while. Not really soul but a nice tune all the same. I also recently picked up GC Cameron's self titled album which includes Truly Blue which is a nice tune. There's scant detail about it on dftmc but I've got a feeling I read somewhere that it was recorded for a shelved Mowest album Seventh Son a few years before.

Judging from Popsike, the legit release came with a push out centre. There are several of these solid centre copies on there too which have gone for £50 or thereabouts so maybe some buyers have been turned over. Presumably there isn't a manufacturer which makes records with the slip ring around the circumference of the label. That prevents realistic counterfeits of UK releases.

Doesn't surprise me. Quick look on eBay shows that there are non solid centre copies of this title too. Judging from the blurb I've read on another seller's eBay site, it appears that a business model for selling this stuff involves not actually holding any stock, waiting for someone to buy and at that point, the seller purchases the 45 elsewhere and presumably arranges for his/her supplier to send direct to the purchaser. This Ebayer may not even be involved in pressing up the copies for sale.

Looking at his eBay feedback, 2 negatives ( one because record sent in an "iffy bag " ) out of over 466 sales over last 12 months ( 168 in last month ). A quick glance shows he's knocking them out mostly at £5.99 each so allowing overheads of at least 50% ? pretty modest profits for the hassle involved.

Yep will be there. Looking forward to it!

Nice one Rob. I've got David Ruffin's version of No Matter Where but I really like GC Cameron's take on it too. Foolishly didn't buy one of the several copies in Music & Video Exchange in Notting Hill Gate a few years back.

This is a superb Motown Podcast posted on here a few years back.

The 33.3 series are excellent. Have read a few now Big Star, Wire, Flying Burrito Bros. Hopefully, the local library will acquire this one too.

A few suggestions :- David & Jimmy Ruffin - Turn Back The Hands Of Time Edwin Starr - Running Back And Forth /Time Ivy Jo - I Can Feel The Pain Earl Van Dyke - All For You Originals - Don't Stop Now Temptations - Save My Love for A Rainy Day Stevie Wonder - Nothings Too Good For My Baby 4 Tops - I'll Never Change

And also omit the year of copyright. Most if not all British major record labels had the copyright year clearly printed on the label.

PM'd you.

Truly woeful fodder. Doomed the moment the songwriters believed that " brambling " could seriously be introduced into a lyric Artists and musicians not at fault as they no doubt went along with it for the money. Lee Fields & The Expressions faithful take on JJ Cale's Magnolia is how it should be done. Band/Producer even had the imagination to add pedal steel guitar, not used on the original, an instrument normally reserved for country music.

Terribly sad news. Ben was such a genuine, warm and friendly person who always spent time to say hello and have a chat when you met him out and about. He was one of the first friends Denise and I made when we started going to soul do's in London and we'll both miss him badly. Our condolences to his family, Carmel and to you Sean as he was your best mate. RIP Ben Mike & Denise

Nice tune. Just bought a download from iTunes £0.79. 3 for sale on discogs £100 each.

Haven't posted anything in ages mainly because I haven't bought anything recently. However, I came across this 45 in a secondhand record shop in a small Norfolk market town recently along with about 30 other 45's ( mainly non soul ). I paid £16.00 for the batch of singles which proves that there are still some bargains to be had!. The batch also included an early calypso/ska 45 on Island ( Kentrick Patrick ) which I sold to a dealer at a record fair in Norwich and Jobell Orch on a Pye demo which I've got for sale on Ebay. Great sounding tune apparently written by the main man himself and a true double sider as the flip is Time. Bit torn as to whether to Keep or sell!

Bought a demo in Ex condition from a respected seller on here 12 months ago for £200.00. It hadn't sold for a number of days so seller accepted a near offer. Think it was originally advertised for £225.00. Always regarded it as a £200.00 record in that condition having kept on eye on prices of various sales over the past few years. Is a great record but you would have thought its price has peaked.

Interesting article in The Guardian online about a new film being made documenting the making of Marvin's classic album. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jul/13/marvin-gaye-family-approve-whats-going-on-documentary

From a previous thread on here (which I can't find), I understood that the Hour Glass is the original local release. However, the Spectrum release comes with the bonus of his version of Crying Clown on the flip.

Can hear it here:- https://themusic.com.au/music/streams/2016/02/24/premiere-kylie-auldist-family-tree/ Kylie Auldist is one of Australia’s prime funk and soul musicians. Her new single Family Tree ties in strongly with her roots, both those musical and hereditary, and lucky for you, we're premiering the track exclusively today on theMusic.com.au. Auldist with her soulful and velvety tone in the song discusses her family tree and how she values the love of her family. Kylie reflects, "Family is there first and last, they are inspirational, and this song is for them". Family Tree is also the title of her electro-soul album due for release on 26 February. She'll launch the single as part of Brunswick Music Festival at Howler in Melbourne on Saturday, 19 March with support acts The Meltdown and a '70s soul and disco set from DJ Miss Goldie.

Agree. No-one wearing headphones - just wouldn't happen when "tracking" https://forgottenhits60s.blogspot.co.uk/2013_10_20_archive.html ( Russ Terrana ) At this particular point in time (the fall of 1966), Motown's infamous "Studio A" on West Grand Boulevard had recently installed a new, custom-built recording machine which was capable of recording eight individual tracks, instead of the usual four that machines at other studio's, including those at Golden World, were limited to. On the eight-track Hitsville machine, the basic rhythm tracks for a record were recorded on the first four tracks (with the drums recorded on one track, the bass on the second track, guitars on the third and keyboards on the fourth). Vocals and other additional sweetening instruments were then recorded on to the remaining four tracks, usually at separate recording sessions a short time later. By contrast, the first 8 Track machines were not operational in commercial studios in London until the end of 1967.
