MEL BRITT - SHE'LL COME RUNNING BACK - FIP This is a real curiosity, it's the same boot as the first one, the 1976 press with stamped ZTSC number and white ring running round the label. However, all of those were on styrene - this is on vinyl! I asked on Soul Source and nobody could explain why there should be a vinyl copy, and neither had anyone else got one. So rather than Ebay it immediately, I'll put it up for offers of over £30. If I feel I've had a reasonable offer, I'll take it. I've never, ever seen one of these before. Condition is EX+. don't want to sound a like a........ But I have one of these in Vinyl. Got it from Across the tracks in Brighton in the 9ts Pete, same time u were in Hastings.. everything in that shop at the time was a fiver... wish they were all now...most of his stock came from the owners mate, think his name was keith Barnes?? anyhow he was / is a BIG Motown collector, not on the scene since the 7ts but he had so many 45's that literally fell out of that shop, Derek Jack, Paul Sutton, Simon etc... we all had great bargins in there.. still got that 45, and I'd never sell it.. Take the JIMMIE RAYE - PHILLY DOG from you, mail us to confirm. M

The Chambers Brothers - I Can't Stand It / CBS The Harmonica on this track isn't throughout, but there is well enough to qualify me thinks.. Not on the player on here, but what a STONKIN TUNE!!! Mal.C.

Think Soul Class of 66, A Whole Lot of Soul and Soul Destroyers are my favorite Kent Lp's... that Destroyers Art work is Mental...Ian Clark at his cut and Paste Best!! All of Soul Class was essential, especially Crampton sisters, Carl Carlton, Sheppherds, and Oretha Barnes... remember borrowing a mates copy in 2nd year so we could play in Music Class, all the other kids bough Thompson Twins, Blondie and Madness... and one guy (Corrie Wright) who was into Madness said it sounded Puffy, that Kid never had any Taste...!! Laughs Got to know Steve Cesar some years later, He's the Soul Teacher on the sleeve of Soul Class btw.. or Ceasar from Leeds... Mal.C.

I sell footage and images to Tv, allot of my clients will agree a sale by email, even issue a Purchase Order, receive the product include in a rough edit, feature in an On-line edit... but may at any time up-to submitting the Program to their client still go back on their commitment, Drives me F*** Wild.. cause all your agreements can go south in a day right at the end of the Month..!!! I should get into the farming business, and stand in a field!! m

I buy allot of records of people on here, as you all no doubt do.. but I do sometimes simply forget I've emailed somebody, or for one or another reason just not get round to getting a cheque out the door...it's happened to me as well quite recently where i simply never heard from a chap that committed to buy.. Think the suggested 24 hour rule unless you agree another time scale works, that way you keep talking to your buyers not waiting the cheque that never comes... m

eh up, have I not just sold you my old copy??? laughs you should have that tomorrow Kev, went in the post yesterday mal.C

This thread ends Sunday, confined to the archives, but before that happens it good to finish on a high, so having spoken to Angelo who did the Musette review on Dave Rimmer's site all this week, I can offer these tantalizing tit bits: ------------ MR-112 – June Jackson - You're Welcome /Bottoms Up 
 Someone a few months ago was selling the Imperial Records single on "You're Welcome," and it was a promotional single (black on the left hand side with color logo and light brown for the rest of the label), it was definitely Imperial/Liberty and the artist, production credits remained the same, with the exception of the Imperial single catalogue number. Needless to say, this blew me away when I saw it, as I wondered if there were any other singles Imperial and/or Liberty might have picked up for national release. Green Musette Label Lenni/Lennie Groves singles The green label; this was the original label version of the Lenni/Lennie Groves singles, light green with black print; in fact, this was the only time I have seen a green Musette release. A collector in my hometown of San Diego just found the "Sweet Sixteen" on the green label. All The Musette Best, ------------ What can you say? June Jackson - your welcome got a promo on Liberty / imperial, thats up there with the Ivories on Wand, and Green label Mustte releases, I must be a tad sad, but thats some of the most exciting collecting stuff I've heard in years... Mal.C.

May have pretty much Done Musette, unless we can add the Un issued Musette / Jackson scan and the other Lenni Groves 45, which Now I cant find...I've never bought the Miki Champion, wont pay the money for it... maybe Terri de and Cross Tone should follow here with the Craver / Jackson connection...? making a west Coast Indy fest?

Both sides of the Imperial release, and the Cross tone one, that always gets allot of attention on White Demo. That said I saw that Rob Pheasant has this on a yellow issue, plain yellow with no Promo writing so I'm assuming issue... ?? M

He has the Cross tone release of course and a couple of releases on Bell. Tenderly with feeling and I'm not sleeping, did you notice that the Imperial side is the same, there is no trace of him on the flip to What's Underneath...what so ever.. M

I've never read this guys book, but would love to find out where he got his info, I did speak to Greg Tormo some years back at Cleethorpes and he said that he has spoken to H.June Jackson, but he did not tell me much more that that... anybody know what the initial H stands for? Perhaps he was Horace, or Hugo.. or Humphrey... Laughs Malcolm

not quite the same, but the reason I'm selling this one.. great tune, still available at a cheap price, as is Doris, again a great moody track by her, I got a demo through the door last week, hence sale. m

Context Dear Watson!!! So if I got this right, the original release of 'I wanna thank you' on Stanton which made one side of a later Terri De release, then what might be the orig of I wanna thank you by Goody Colbert on Revue... then the alt version of 'Come back to me' which also makes one side of the Musette singll by the Phantom, basically Sonny craver on Karisma, this is a different and better take in my opinion to the Musette side.. then the very very very rare June Jackson...

Musette - Label Of The Week >>>THE MUSETTE RECORDS STORY<<< This weeks been exceptional, this time last Sunday I was browsing Ebay as normal, I always start with typing in Musette on the off chance I might find some 45's on the label, anyhow after 6 or 7 years of typing that in and sending in Listings of Known tracks that came out, 2 new 45's I had never seen before were listed by a seller, I bid and won both tonight, so before some guy who's been collecting 20 years more that I have emais in and says yeah I got them and a load more not on your List, here's what reckon is a s much as anybody knows: MR-100– Unknown MR-101– Unknown MR-102 – Sonny Craver - I'mNo Fool / Come Back 
 MR-103 – Unknown MR-104 – Unknown MR-105 – Unknown MR-106– Unknown MR-107– Unknown MR-108– Unknown MR-109 / MR-110 - Bobby Bryant Sextet -Fifty-Eighth Street / A Change is Gonna Come MR-112 – June Jackson - You're Welcome /Bottoms Up 
 76- 9151 – Mickie Champion -What Good Am I(Without You) / The Hurt Still Lingers On 
 65-10 – Lenni Groves - Sweet Sixteen (With ABroken Heart) / Fool For A Day 
 65-11 – Lennie Groves - Bye Bye Baby / AMillion Tears Ago 
 65-12 – Lenni Groves - Sweet Sixteen (With ABroken Heart) / Good Show 
 65-13 – Garnett Sykes -Longer Than Forever /Go Go Girl 
 65-14 – Ervin Rucker -She's Alright / KidsTogether 
 65-15 – Unknown but that Musette Acetate exists and states - You know How Love Is / Show Business (MR xx 615) * not credited but June Jackson sang that, I'd eat my hat if he did not!) 65-16 – Arlene Williams - Duck 'All Over Town'/ Duck 'All Over Town' (Part 2)
 65-17 – The Other Four - Searching For My Love/ Why Musette Acetate – (June Jackson-not confirmedbut deffo him) - You know How Love Is / Show Business (MR xx 615) So The two New tracks to me are 65-12 – Lenni Groves - Sweet Sixteen (With A Broken Heart) / Good Show and MR-109 / MR-110 - Bobby Bryant Sextet -Fifty-Eighth Street / A Change is Gonna Come. They are not mint but who cares, they exist and I'l be tracking down Mint copies from here on in... The Bobby Bryant release states produced by R.O Bryant, and these two tracks gained a release on the Chess label nationally. For me the addition of MR-109 /MR-110 really point to there very likely being releases for the missing MR series numbers, 101, 103, 104,105,106,107,108, who knows but these are really obscure…. Miki Champion is a very strange release with a release number 76-9151 that does not fit in any order, 3 are on the blue label, the rest on Orange But I did read somewhere that a green label release came out??? So if you have anything else to add, now is your time!! Mal.C.

Std 1st class at £1.50 per 45.. cheers [ Mal.C

have emailed ya.. mal

I Dont have a listing, but you may not have this release? if it helps. Rush & Gross - City of Soul (Bw) Love Power / Radio City 1003 mal.

He did Paul, a great British collection... so I guess you both were in the navy? I know he and another guy called Jock used to go to Wigan in their Uniforms... as Tony would say ' we did it for the crack!'.. M

I remember this going out, and i've not seen it since 1984... Great footage at the Rigger in Brum, including a very young Tony Reynolds.. enjoy!! Mal.C.

some may say this is more a Funk tune but I love it all the same: Rev Jamel & Bob Johnson - Did you See Those Men / J & S can anybody confirm this is the same label as Johnnie & Joe - I Pray To Keep Our Love Strong / Let Your Mind Do The Walking Fame??? Mal.C.

which release on triode is it? mal

Maybe, but to be honest Pete I now try it on every where I go as a rule, here, evilbay, record dealers at do's. not that I go out much these days but some of the prices at Cleethorpes this year were simply silly, 5 and 10 quid tunes for 30-40 and more, and in allot of cases you can go straight onto ebay and get em easy.. As for post, I'm always prepared to pay as long as I don't get ripped off.. John Manship BTW, I simply don't go too at all, I never buy from him but I went to join his auction the other day and it would cost me a pound for a free to view site, next he will be putting up a pay Wall over the rarest of the rare section......!! His prices are way over board, and condition is not always what's advertised, I'd say Craig Morer is a better guy to buy from any day of the week... Mal.C.

Blue Rock acetates on Ronaldo Domino, and both sides of Dee Dee Warwick's Were Doing Fine release's. As I mentioned earlier the Ronaldo acetate I bought from Craig Morer six months ago...He told me it came from a prominent Chicago DJ, and I'm told something that was probably cut for his management or studio purpose.. It's single sided by the way.. as for the other, I'm assuming 'Thanks Cecil Holmes' is the Cecil Holmes of Buddah Fame?? Mal.C.

Blimey, that looks to be the exact same acetate I bought from Craig Morer six months ago... came from a prominent Chicago DJ, and I'm told something that was probably cut for his management or studio purpose.. It's single sided by the way John.. I've got some more Blue rock acetates, i'll post em up. Mal
