Gonna revive this cause I was looking to buy a yellow issue off Pete smith, and put the brakeson, but remembered this thread. So, to add to the three labels above and delta info from Chalky. ------ So the matrix/delta details for the demo read S-100-X-X-REPL MR delta 87770 S-101-X MR - delta 87770 Dating that one at April/May 1972. Then these two, later press?

This is Dreadful news. I first became aware of Ted at the old vic, the night he bought Magnetics - lady in green! we all stayed till the very end to hear him play it…an important part of my youth that was… Rest in peace Ted sincere condolences to your family and friends

Sounds great, what’s on it folks?

Loved the Rag Market, Reddington's in the subway before hurst st, from Moore street station, he had some bits in that shop soul wise, mainly pressings, they always had loads of Heavy Metal T shirts outside on boards and god knows what else.. good memories..

Yeah Andy, unfortunately B'ham city centre is not what it was in the 8ts / 9ts, its soul seems to have been ripped out of it, all the markets are gone, but it does have a chocolate fancy as a library...! I should add I dont live there any longer, but places like Oasis were part my youth, and allot of others, back when the Outrigger was king (3rd pic down, right of the picture), SKOL beer was wrapped around the Rotunda, and fashion was £29.99 a go! * Picture of the 37 on there, dropping off at St Martins church! I lived on that bus, that was going up town.... and the RAMP! that was the Ramp for me...as it was en route to the record shops from Moore Street... lol, not the one by New street station / McDonalds.

Just learnt this. Oasis Market in B’ham closed due to safety issues. What’s that got to do with Soul? well numerous people had record stalls selling soul in the depths of the market, Steve Glover traded there for years, Graham Warr has sold records from there to loads of folks on the 7th soul scene, and If you were after any MOD gear in the early 8ts, it was a place to get good fashion.

well cool, I'd love to see the Rosalyns do this track live... That said, the unknown acetate is the best cut to my ears... I need to check as I think there was extensive notes on the Munster release... might have somethig on there...

* I have split this one out, be interested to know what folks know about these two versions?

Sorry, bit off topic, but in a good way. You know what, I never linked this track to the one Mr Fine wine put out, probably because I never listen to the grapevine 45 by the Happy cats. My notes say from 2 acetates recorded by Morris Last in Detroit in the 60s. So question, how does that version link to the Happy Cats? Or is 'Happy Cats' just a made up name....

cant quite tell from the clip, but is it 'Any Girl In Love' ? if it isnt its very near...

Could be, probably is if he/she is a bootlegger. That said, sounds like her to my ears.. folks take a listen, is it her?

I grabed this from somewhere, Norma Jenkins - His Love Is Amazing. South Mountain Music Corp Acetate. Think it's owned by a collector in the States. Norma Jenkins - His Love Is Amazing.mp3
