whats the story behind the orange boot? bar the colour its spot on pretty much... Mal

Laughs... I wondered too Mark, this whole thread has left the earth, and now its residing in outer space!!!! I haven't read every post, I know I should, but do you know what, does it really matter? the whole idea is you pay some bloke (said megalomaniac D.j) to take care of all that so you can practice your Benny Hill impressions at the bar!

HE3 Project - Make it sweet (Family Groove) my favorite record of this year, flipped with 'We All Have Our Own Lives' this is a mighty brilliant 45... Mal

When I was at college in the 8ts, a new class mate of mine said his older brother played in Edwin Starr's band, as a drummer, all of us being from the Midlands in the UK, and Edwin living up that way I believed him. So I asked if he could get a picture signed which he promptly did, and I have treasured that for years, although I cant locate it at the moment, It's somewhere... Anyhow I met up with my old College mate last year and he broke the news that the entire class were in on it, and the note was in fact signed by a guy called Curtis, who we all used to rip the piss out of... God Damm!!! That's Revenge.... So Curtis Smith from Chelmsley Wood in Birmingham, if your out there, my response will be swift !!! love George Smith, here's a good one on his only LP... M

Yep thats it (Joe King), bought it off here, Nice thing but I have the released 45, and its not a different mix, so could not really keep it... Eddie Ray two mixes, the one being more acoustic and featured on the Eccentric Soul: The Prix Label LP where it appears as (You Got Me (Demo). Prefer that one personally... the company released the other as a 45 I think, fast and furious track that is, and a minute too long in my opinion. Malcolm

Got the Chuck Jackson of Gene R on here, some years ago, its the Drivelers (Nick Brown's) old copy and signed by the man, to the man!! The Little Charles is from the West Coast and was part of a LA based collection, obviously his name was Coop, Ive seen loads of others all signed the same, be interested to find out if anybody else on here has some of his old tracks, and does anybody know anything more about him? allot of the 45's came over here via Shifty in 2002/3 I think... Got some great Aussie ones, lots of Shirl loves Merv, and all that... Mal

are you referring to Eddie Ray - You Got Me (Demo), Have it on Download, but did it make a vinyl 7? there was a Joe King acetate floating around last year, and I know there is another in the hands of a chap on here, never again, lovely thing but I couldn't sell it, I actually made a loss on it... what a fool.. Mal

is 'seven day fool' on chess or Coronet? Know what you mean on cover versions, there are hundreds, Pete Smith said he had a CD of loads of them, be good to see the track listing on that, personally I gave up collecting them because the quality got so bad, thought Little Pattie - Messin up a good thing was good, I did pick that up recently, and saw an Aussie Don Charles - The Drifter go on evil bay week or so ago, ok version but nothing tops Ray does it... so whats this 'Other'? you cant allude to something without giving us more of a clue? so its the flip of a country 45, what group of labels does it come from? Mal

Sent you an email Jason... M

Here it is... I don't own this 45... Jimmy Smith is mine...

yeah, quite a few on CBS, "Uphill Climb' is the one to get on Yellow Epic... you never see it.. and here's 'That' record by Ms Hines, Eye candy for some...

Ive never seen one Pete, Superiors came up recently, that was nice, but I got outbid big time... I did get Que Sera, Sera recently though, is this the same lots? must be...

OK, to widen the appeal of the thread, here's some nice Aussie Motown for you, I only collect demo's, ones with no bullet sticker showing, sticker would be on the other side.. Regards, Malcolm

I feel like Ive been told off...again... laughs... Dave will you meet me half way>? thats a small visual pun... Whats happened to general chit chat, there are loads of threads where several conversations go on, in fact some of them become so nasty, this one isnt, that its the only way to get involved, ie speak about something else...
