I understand... I guess its down to the Uk's connection to Youth Cults thats the reason for the use of tracks like that, were obviously not the only place to have big youth scenes, but it's always been passed on like a baton in this country, each generation adding its own sounds...

do they really not license soul music for commercials over there Rodd, somebody is missing a trick...Do you remember that Levis 501 ad from the eighties, did that cross over to the States I wonder? the one with Ben E King - Stand by me..

My Baby's Got PMT - (any number of products, inc Tampons I guess, or Chris Huhne on his wife maybe? Touch of Penis - Sandy Wynns - (product wise, you guessed it, but could be a number of people in the public eye, Clinton would be a good one, even now... mal.C

I agree, its not mega rare by any stretch, but when I first wanted this years back it took ages to get one, the reason being it got snapped up quick... and was only worth £20 at most.. £250 though.. sorry nah!!

maybe ping Ace Records an email, they may be able to accommodate you from the ware house as it were.. you never know... https://acerecords.co.uk/

Great listen there, cheers Flanny, really enjoyed that.. and title and an accompanying pic..

I wonder if anybody has ever done an Aussie one? Ive never seen one.. I especially go after the early numbers on Tamla and Stateside, and some on London... all demo's of course...

all great, voted for Clyde Milton for his vocal...just took to his voice straight away, but they are all great, actually I haven't heard The Magnificients as yet... Mal;C

I just hate the vocal on Chuck Holiday, its not a patch on the Four Voices vocals... and I love both versions of 'Trade my Soul', but E.Williams probably a bit more...

Christ, thats extortionate... pay £200 over here, no doubt you could get it cheaper down under... I was paying under 15aud for most stuff when I lived there, if it was special it might have gone upto $60 say.. but only on things like Sue Barker LP, stuff like that... M

ahh.. sorry I should have read between the lines... btw, you describe Bobby's shows as wild, I remember sleeve notes mentioning James Brown used to catch the shows when he was in town, has anybody ever seen one of these shows, does film exist do you think?
