Gates is a light blue label. They are different versions, but both wonderful. The Gates version is faster, more manic and not as sparse. I have a spare Musicor one.

The record was originally released as The Masters of Houston on Ovide, and then as The Masters of Soul on Capitol. I have the Ovide one on my website for £75. I think 'Please wait for me' is outstanding.

Now over four thousand 60s and 70s original US soul 45s and over a thousand LPs (and a load of 12s too, if you like that kind of thing...) Hundreds of soundfiles and a featured record section with label scans and additional info. Come. Have a peek. https://www.seriouslysoulful.com/

Yes, that's so annoying. I used to come across it in the Sates quite a lot - not being able to browse through boxes but having to name artists. I mean, how many bloomin' soul artists are there?! I had harsh words once with Richard Domar about his rude phone manner. He seemed quite taken aback! He said he wasn't really rude - just misunderstood. Apparently, he just sounded like he was being rude because of his accent, but actually he was being lovely and polite! Visiting him in his upstairs lair was always a rather bizarre experience, to say the least.

This came as a real shock. I didn't know Frank well, but he seemed like such a lovely man.

£50 - £75, I think. I have one for sale, ex condition both sides, that I've priced at £60.
